The hotel lobby. You actually need to take a queue number to check in!
All these are taken in the lobby. It's really very very big.
This was taken from the hotel room. I thought it was really nice.
Taken from the cable car. Really low quality due to the zoom and the dirty glass panel.
The cable car!
My sister took this nice photo of the view outside the cable car. She took many more, but this is the nicer one.
Now this is me! 艺术照！
This is one big fat plastic duck. My father was like standing under it and rubbing his head, saying:" Aiyah! Any shit drop on my head a not ah??"
Took this at night. [DUH] It's the name of the hotel we stayed at.
We went to the theme park the next day.
This was one hack of a cool ride! You can feel the wind blowing against your face. And it gets really cold. I recorded a video of the whole ride as well.
This how our hotel looks like from the outside. Really colourful, isn't it? But the mist sort of spoiled it.
This is the huge coke can!
The cockshrew was closed. Didn't manage to ride it. Pity.
This is how the theme park look like from above. Took it from the Ferris Wheel. It's not the largest in the world, but definately larger than that minute one in Escape. My sister was scared throughout the whole ride. She was afraid that the whole thing might overturn and was ordering me to side opposite of her so it will not be unbalanced.
Look at the square on the bottom right. For goodness sake, who is the right mind would want to stand like that?! It's the flume ride mind you. That fellow might just fly off the the 'boat' comes down. Anyway, the flume ride there was really very lousy. The handle was all in the wrong places. It was horizontal, not short veritcal ones like those in Escape. So when the boat was going up [the incline was almost vertical] we had a hard time struggling to grip onto it or else we would slide down the sit and hit the back of the boat and heaven know's what will happen to us. So we were most afraid of the climb, not very much the descend. In fact, we were hoping that the boat would plunge down as soon as possible. And also, the ascend was such a bloody short distance only!!! And the whole interior of the boat was wet and flooded, when we came out, our shoes were soaked and [of course] our whole body was wet. And the cold weather made it worse.
Here's how the theme park look like at night. It's not that my camera is lousy [you can see that it's quite foggy], but it's the mist. It's so thick, it's really terrible. We took the cable car from our hotel area to the theme park at night. I tell you, it was a really horrid experience. When gondola moved out of the 'pick up' area, there was nothing you could see. Just nothing! Only a tinge of orange due to the lights below. It's like you have no idea where you are heading. And there are no lights in the gondola. I thought that was quite stupid. Anyway, my sister was so afraid, she kept holding onto the hand bars and grumbling about why the cable car had to stop in the middle to let us admire the view. The cable car station in the themepark was deserted. Nobody was there except 2 ride operators. And it was still terribly misty. The perfect location to shoot those scary movies. It was terrible quiet as well. And when you walk along the pathway, you can't really see far. So there's this eerie feeling. And somehow I would keep my eyes peeled for who was coming in front. It's like someone emerging from the depths. At first you could only see the silhouette and then after a while the whole person emerges. Like in the movies, you know? And it was rather cold at night. We took the rollercoaster ride and that was the second time in my life that I could feel my teeth and knees knocking against each other. And I really sympathise with those ride operators. There's hardly anyone and they have to sit at their stations, waiting for someone to come. And for some rides, hardly anyone would dare to take because it was so dark and misty. So they were like alone and everything in the cold.
Anyway, we left after awhile.
And I think the carousels there are really pretty.
No? Well, anyway, after the all the playing, we went to eat at this Karaoke place. Something like KBox [though I have never been there]. And anyway, my mom was the only one singing. My sister and I were only interested in the MVs. And we had a hard time figuring out how to get the original singer's voice to come out. Went to watch The Incredibles for the second time after that with my parents. My mom really liked it. Said it was very very meaningful and was the best movie she ever watched her entire life.
Took this the next morning in my room. Really nice isn't?
And this is how our beds looked like. The room was really small. The toilet and shower area was seperated and only one person could fit inside the lavatory. It's like the toilets in the planes. Really really small. And the sink is located outside the toilet. And the TV set was small as well. Everything was small. Anway, we went down to Kuala L. today. A friend came to fetch us. Her house was damn big, I am telling you. And they have 4-5 cars? Even the chauffer wears a Rolex. And he's one smug arsehole. Walk around the entire estate half naked. 真是自以为了不起。看了就讨厌！不是我夸张，是真的很puke puke!! I think he looked down on us. Just because you have been driving for rich people all your life don't mean you can look down on other not-so-rich people. It doesn't mean you are rich as well! Arsehole!! Curse you!! 根本就是狗眼看人底吗！！Please excuse me. I cannot help it. CURSE YOU!!!!! Anyway, we went to Suria KLCC. There's this science centre like thing there, so we went. Stayed there for around 5 hours? Cool place to be. Lots of exhibits. Brought quite a lot of VCDs as well. Took a photo of the image made by the mirrors. Cool eh? And this is another interesting looking photo:
There's this machine where you can play goalie and keep the balls out. And there's a trick to it. You just have to stand in front of the camera and you can save all the goals. My sister did just that. She cheated her way into the top 10. Her picture is still there I guess. OMG. The screen looks like that:
And here's the famed Petronas Twin Towers! I took that photo! WAHAHA!
The drive back to Genting was terrible when we were near the top. The mist descended and road conditions became really bad. But it was an awesome experience! Anyway, we were leaving tomorrow afternoon. Went to eat Tim Sum 点心 at 阿一鲍鱼the next morning. Look at the food!
Can you see what's there? It's a piece of the 烧卖 (prawn dumpling). And I also went to Starbucks and got a new mug. Nice nice. Haha!
