Genting Trip

Yeap, after so much of humming and hawing, jess and i finally decided to join the g10s for the genting trip. And it turned out pretty well too. There were 13 of us altogether, 8 gals (corny, diana, han ying, jess, jue jing, li ven, mei ann, and i) and 5 guys (kaarthig, kien yip, kunal, thuan tzen, and tony).

I'm bit lazy to reel off every detail about the trip. So, um... this email (edited the changes) basically sums it up:
There will be 1 room for guys, and 1 room for girls (8 girls,1 room? wow!) But seems like they dont care about comfortableness n prioritise fun, like we always do. haha.

Room is First World Hotel. Room rate = Rm 79, equally shared by all room occupants.

We will depart from KL Sentral on July 12th (wednesday) on a 2.30 pm bus. Bus service is on hourly basis from 8am till evening. All should meetup at KL sentral latest by 12pm. We are entitled to 2-4 free bus ride tikets. One way bus ticket is rm7.30. So the total price of bus fares will be equally divided among all.

We will check in the hotel as soon as we reach there and spend a night there having fun among ourselves. The next day, july 13th (thurs), we will go for the theme park rides. Theme park is open from 10am-6pm (if I'm not mistaken). Once we are done at the theme park, we will head back to KL Sentral with the night bus. The total theme park entrance fee plus the return bus ride fare is Rm31 per person.

Yes, we only had 2 rooms, obviously one for the guys and another for the gals. That's probably why the whole trip was dirt cheap too. So, there were 8 of us gals in a room with only 2 combined single beds. And yes, ALL of us slept on the bed.

This was almost exactly how we slept. Have to say it was a brilliant idea, although i didn't really sleep well that night.

Didn't do much on the first day, had pizza hut for dinner, and like we always do, we cam-hogged a lot. During the night all of us somewhat decided to go for clubbing. It was ladies night and the gals got in. And as for the guys, they decided to just remain in the hotel room to relish the chivas they bought. Few of them eventually got drunk, whereas the rest were left still sober.

Waiting in the hotel lobby. "Hello, yes mum, we've just arrived. Oh, yes... yess."

What disgusts me is the presence of smokers everywhere in genting. Despite the 'no smoking' signs plastered around the indoor themepark it appears that these smokers were not refrained from doing so.

The whole of thursday was spent in the themepark. Didn't expect that many people there. Most of them were... arabian tourists? Anyway, we went on several of the rides several times, kindda enjoyed some of them too. The last was the flume ride, which got some of us really drenched. And we were walking around in the cold in our damp clothes. Left the theme park about an hour earlier than it closes, cuz apparently most of the rides stopped operating due to the heavy mist. Since there was still ample time before our bus comes we decided to have this lil feast of junk foods in the garden.

With jessica and corny. The teacup ride. It was this ride which gave me the dizzy spell.

Corny, han ying, and i. Look at the mist!

Played some games before we got home, one of which is called 'ping-pang-wah'. Anyone who loses would be asked to put on a pose and have a picture captured of them. And for some sueh occurences, i kena-ed twice. Was fun though. Anyway, our bus left almost 8 sharp, and the journey back to kl sentral surprisingly took only less than an hour. Yup, genting was fun.
