DURING the Raya break, my family and I together with Ning decided to go to Genting Highlands since it' has been a long time we went up there. Also Jenny and Joseph will be checking-in on that day. We could meet up for a while up there.
We departed at eight in the morning.
On the way up, we stopped by at Gohtong Jaya to visit Lim Goh Tong's memorial. Uncle Lim was the founder of Genting by the way. His passing two years ago was a great lost to many.
All crafted out of wood (except the flowers)
Amazing isn't it?
This is, my lovely sister
My birthday (is coming) = his death
His eyes are so REAL
Ning, the orchid girl
Dad asked if we wanted to take the cable car ride up but we didn't so we went straight up to the peak by car. On the halfway we stopped at the Chin Swee Temple for a walk and some photo shooting.
The moment we got down the car, I could feel the cool wind blowing towards us eventhough the sun was shinning at us.

The view was breathtaking
That is what I like about being up on Genting.
I never really visited this place before although it is one of the attraction in Genting
Luckily I brought along my binoculars. I could see KL!
And even some apartments nearby my house.
Trying out the wide screen mode
That is mine. This is hers
Mammi and Mei mei
After visiting the temple, we continued up to the top. We parked at the open car park area near to First World Hotel and had our breakfast there. =)
The Ria Apartment. Used to stayed here with friends and
heard many spooky stories happened here
Foggy weather. I like
Early in the morning, mum prepared mayonaise egg
and sambal ikan bilis together with rice
For the first time we utilised the picnic table stored in the boot of dad's car
It was a school holiday and there was a lot of people on Genting. We didn't intend to play in the theme park so we just walked around and to enjoy the cool breeze.
Our first time together in Genting
Dad looking at the model of Genting in First World Hotel
Some shots of the model:
Whoa! Check out the most expensive rate!
I brought Ning into the Starworld casino at the First World Hotel. We didn't play cuz we didn't know how to and more importantly we don't have 'the enough cash'. Haha. Inside there, I saw people throwing out cash RM5000 just like that and a while later, there are gone just like that. *snap finger*
Some outdoor pictures:
Mum, sis and dad
We didn't enter the theme park. Took this before the entrance gate
The all-time favourite, Space Shot
I remember my first time riding that when I went there with my family and relatives. I couldn't remember why I wanted to try that but I did ride on it, alone. At that time, the whole thing would shoot you up from the bottom instead of dropping at the top.
The Awana Skyway
Highland Hotel. Heard got many 'business' there? *ehem*
The Grand Lady outside the Grand Ballroom entrance
This is the Visitor Galleria where many things about Genting are being displayed here
There is another set of huge Genting model.
I like models
The Genting Skyway covered with silver
Dad contacted his friend who was on Genting at that time. He said that he might able to get a free room for us but we had to wait till 3pm (the check-out time). If there was one, Ning, my sis and I could stay for a night there.
And so we waited in the First World Plaza
Eat candy floss
It is weird but amazing to see how the candy melts once it touches water (or saliva) =p
Blow some bubbles
Shot from the place I sat
Not too long later, dad's friend called and so sad to hear that there wasn't any room left for us. If we informed his friend a day earlier, there might be more chances. Aiks.
It was 3.15pm and we've got nothing much to do already. Therefore it was time to head down to KL.
The monorail, flying coaster and the space shot
Lastly, a reflection shot
Bye bye. It jammed jitty all the way down
Next, Ning and I go for a special meal...
