Viva Genting Highlands Part 1 - The Journey

The trip was... uhhhhhhh. Yeah, just "uhhhhhhh". Could have been better. But not too bad. It's just ruined by some stupid people. Anyway, ikezo!:

So morning woke up. Woke up late. Everyone at home also woke up late. Everyone slept very late. It's already 10:30 am. Suppose to go out at around 11:00am. But it's 10:30am. Packed my stuff: toiletries, 2 new shirts, 2 old pants, peejays, and CDs. What CDs I bought? Basically:

1. Gundam Seed Complete Best.
2. FullMetal Alchemist Complete Best.
3. Cowboy Bebop CD-Box OST set.
4. L'Ar~en~Ciel Smile.

That's it.

While in the toilet showering. Over heard a phone call. It's my uncle. He called to ask if we are about to go out already. It's 11am already. Dad told him not yet, as we are still packing. He said he can't wait any longer. He's going off. Okay lah, what to do when people can't wait to gamble. After waiting for everyone finish packing, we left the house. Brother's driving. I popped in Gundam Seed Complete Best CD into the player. Hhmm, nose slightly stuffy. I'm sure it's just a "morning just woke up" thing.

On the way out of Subang, bro and parents were discussing which way to go. Bro's indecisive. He says by using route blah blah would be faster but he still ask parents: "So, we take route blah blah ah?".

Took a pic of me and Mom in the car:

Somehow face came out fat. -__-"

It didn't took us long and we are already at the foot of Genting Highlands. The Genting Highlands sign at the side of the road greeted us:


Hahaha! Yes, I know. It's just a part of the sign. Our car passby way too fast. Need to practice on my reflexes. And here's the errr house. I think it's the police station?:


OI! You! Yes, you!! Driving beside us. What you looking at??! Wanna race ah?!! Actually the car is going down and we are going up. LOL!

The CDs going on loop. Popped it out and popped in FullMetal Alchemist Complete Best. There were alot of people driving up as well. Who's the one who said there won't be much people going to Genting during the first day of the Chinese New Year? More pics:


It was a cloudy and yet shiny day. I love taking pics of clouds. Damn cables.


Nah, here's a shot of some trees. Heheh, actually, I was trying to take the whole Genting building right beside the tree. I had a clear shot, and as I was taking aim, the tree suddenly came out covering it. Genting sure looks evil huh? It's like those evil guy's castle at the moutain top with gloom doom clouds over it. XD

We have reached Avana resort! Bro asked where are we suppose to go to. Dad called uncle and asked him. Uncle was quite blur. First he said Genting Resort, then First World Resort, and finally the "most top one". Okay, so we thought it should be the First World Resort.

So, we went up there, drove around and around to find parking. There were lots of Singaporeans who droved Mazdas. How I know they are Singaporeans? The license plate lah. Saw a few Mazda 6s and Mazda 323s. Why so many? It doesn't mean Mazdas are cheaper in Singapore. It means people over there knows what's a good car. Unlike some Malaysians I know "Mazda? Is it a Korean car? How come never heard of one??" -__-". Sua baa kau....

So, finally found a parking spot and we climbed the stairs to the lobby. Couldn't find a lift to go to the lobby. Mom's panting, complaning about the 3 levels that we have to climb. When we are at the lobby, I was impressed! The place looks classy!! There's so many people waiting to check in. And they even have to take a number and que up to check in. What the...

But hmmm something's wrong. Uncle and family is no where to be found. Dad called him and he said he's at the counter waiting to check in. Oookay.. the counter where? It's a loooong stretch of counters here. My dad: "Har? Where ah? which counter? Resort Hotel counter??!". Dad asked the security guard where is the place. Well, isn't it obvious? We are at First World Resort, and he just blurted out Resort Hotel. Ish! My dad also grumbling and mumbling there.

So, we took our luggages back to our car and drove to Resort Hotel. We didn't know where exactly is the place. When come to a junction, parents asked bro to ask the Traffic Police standing there. Without winding down the window, he said: "Resort Hotel?". We laughed like mad, how is the police going to hear him? And the police officer is like 7 feet away from the car!!! XD

Anyway, manage to find Resort Hotel.


Also alot of people. Have to drive a few rounds to find parking. The lobby is jam packed. This time we found them here. Apparently they have been waiting for an hour to check in. And apparently someone made a mistake. They gave us two rooms with a double bed. Now hold on a sec. Our side, we have four people. And them, let's counts: Uncle, aunt, cousin sis, cousin sis' hubby and their baby daguther. o.O That's like 4 and a half.

Well, it was my cousin sis' mistake. She thought double bed means two beds in one room -_-". So, we went to our rooms with our luggages. Hhhmmm, the double bed, there's a mattress on the wooden bed. We dragged the mattress down and viola! Now 2 double beds. But the wooden part is really hard though. Won't be comfortable sleeping on it. Especially old people like my mom and dad. Guess I"ll be sleeping on it T__T.

To be continue.
