I just came back from Genting on Sunday night about 8+. Really tired cause did not sleep well. Had itchy throat and cough on the 2nd day so could not sleep properly though was feeling sleepy. But the day at the theme park was fun. And I finally stepped into a casino for my first time. Went to Starworld Casino at Genting Hotel and at New World Hotel. Starworld was bad. Damn smoky but huge. Did not go into the big table bets, only those slot machines there. Did not play too cause I'm a Christian and I won't gamble. So I just wanna have an experience of how the inside of a casino looks like. Even two nuns went into the casino to have a look. The casino at New World Hotel was not that bad. Not that smoky and I even had a look at the table bets. They had only Tai San (supposed to be Big Small in Cantonese but Chinese words written this way perhaps they did not know how to spell it properly), Roulette, Big Wheel, etc. Haven't seen Black Jack though perhaps it was further down. My two young cousins had to wait for me outside the casino. I had to present my passport to enter of course I look so young.

The first day when we reached Genting was already 12+. When we went to look for somewhere to ahve lunch it was 1+ coming to 2pm. So we just have lunch at Hao You Ji Kuai Can (Good Friends Remember Fast Food) at Genting Hotel, the food was okay. Then we all went separate ways. I brought my two cousins, Kristin and Felicia who are 15 years old and the other is 11 years old shopping at New World Plaza. The first thing we did is to check out what movies are screening in Malaysia. Harry Potter, Chicken Little (faster than Singapore's screening) and Dragon Squad (starring Vanness Wu and Shawn Yue) but Kristin and I were going to watch Harry Potter on Monday and Chicken Little the latest movie timings were during out dinnertime, so we are not able to watch it.

The first shop we enter is Giordano. And I was not about to enter the shop until I saw the grey jacket top wearing on the mannequin. The jacket that has been on Singapore Giordano shops and in magazines and friends have been talking about getting it, but haven't seen it in S'pore all this while cause sold out fast is selling in Genting. Last two pieces for S size and grey colour. I tried it on and it's nice and I love it. I told them I'll come back again later. Thinking if there's nothing else to buy, I'll come back for it. My two cousins kept psychoing me to get the jacket otherwise it'd be gone cause last two pieces only. I went into most shops but really just couldn't set me eyes or liking for anything. But my other two cousins in the end oguht a halter neck top and the other bought a flip flop as early Xmas gift for themselves. My mum gave me RM150 + my own RM28. I bought the grey jacket in the end for RM89. It was rather thick so I immediately wore it the next day.


See the grey jacket. It's off shoulder so makes the jacket special....

We went back to the hotel room earlier while waiting for the others to come back. The three of us played cards (UNO, Tarzan, Big Two, Happy Family). Then we went for dinner at First World Plaza's eating house. Then Kristin wanted to watch Two Week's Notice on Vision Four so we went back to the hotel after dinner to bathe and then play cards and watch telly at the same time.

We woke up at 8+ the next day. I already felt as if I will get sore throat soon. The weather was rather cold and misty earlier that morning. BY the time we met up with the others to have Mac breakfast, it was already 10.10am and it so happened Mac's microwave broke down and they were starting to prepare for lunch so fast, the breakfast were only left with Egg McMuffin without ham (only egg and cheese) meal so we had no choice but to order that. After breakfast, I brought Kris and Felicia to the theme park. We bought the Indoor and Outdoor tickets for 2 adults and 1 child (total RM126). Aunty Maggie paid for my share too cause I brought her kids and look after her kids for her to enjoy herself at doing other stuffs. There was no queue at the ticketing booth. So the first ride we went was Super Toboggan. It seemed to go even faster this time. We dunno why this is but it's so fun...I even took shots of each and every ride that I sat except for indoor and Rolling Thunder Mine Train I had forgotten to take. After that, we went to Cyclone and the queue was rather long. So we took some photos together while queuing. Felicia had to always sit alone or with strangers cause it was odd number of us. Then we headed down to the restrooms before queuing at Flying Dragon. The queue extended till outside but this ride had a lot of people at a go so the queue was considered fast too. It went into the New World Plaza. Kris and I sat at the front head so it was fun.

After that, we headed to Rolling Thunder Mine Train however they said that it is closed for entry and the next train will be at 1.30pm so Kris and I went to Corkscrew. We were looking at this new ride, Flying Coaster where the ride was laid down on your stomach like you're flying and there are two flips over 360-deg same as Corkscrew just that this is lying down but the motion is considered rather slow for a roller coaster. Kristin wanted to try but for me, I just dun like lying down and flipping upside down. Sitting down is fine just not lying down so I told Kris I'll accompany her to take Corkscrew. It was crowded but the ride capacity was 20 passengers. Felicia went to take the Ferris Wheel herself. This was my second time in taking Corkscrew and I tried to tell myself to open my eyes when the dropping down and flipping upside down is coming but I'm better the third time. I did opened my eyes and looked down but this is not a good way cause i felt giddy after that and that time the third time riding Corkscrew, something in the mist went into Kristin's eyes. It was a bit misty that time. Luckily I had eye drops so I helped her apply on her contact lens. We went back to Rolling Thunder Mine after the Corkscrew but it was again closed and next train was at 2.30pm so we decided to have a quick lunch then head to take the ride. We went to BK for lunch. Their service was slow and they gave me the wrong order twice. Their lemon tea tasted funny too. Like it had ginger taste in it instead of lemon tea though it's Season's brand lemon tea. We managed to queue for the ride at 2.30pm. Kristin and I sat at the back while Felicia sat with a girl at the middle who was also alone. The back was thrilling. Then we went for a second time and this time ris and I sat at the front and we had no feeling of the thrill. Only felt the turning around continously than the previous time at the back of the train. then we headed to Corkscrew again while Felicia went to sit the Spinner which I will never try cause I cannot stand turning round and round. I'll get giddy. Merry Go Round may be alright for me cause the motion is slow roundabouts, other than that I'll pass at rides that turn around. Corkscrew also had turning 360-deg but it was only for a while and at only two points so I was still alright with it. It was thrilling too. The mist was coming so they had a Temporary Closed sign but Kris and I still queued for it and indeed many others followed us in after that. The ride was still going on anyway. We may have gone for a fourth time if it weren't for the long queue and rain. Kris and Felicia went to take the Spinner then we took the Super Toboggan again. Felicia went for the Cyclone alone cause she went to queue up 1st and she was right at the top before us so Kris and I thought we'll give it a miss. She tried sitting in front alone and her expression was hilarious.

Then we felt a bit of raindrops so we thought we'll just go play indoors rides. We headed for the Motion Master first. It was 4-D show so 4-D specs were given to us. The queue was alright but the waiting time was very long cause the whole show lasted for perhaps about 5 mins or so. It was those scary shows and this was the most scary movie that I've ever watched cause the thing was so lifelike and I had to close my eyes a few times while the thing was flying towards me or attacking me. And the most scary impact was there were some scenes where water was appearing from behidn us. It was steam from the back of our chairs. Those dry ice type which will make our hair messy. And there was a part where the dragon cut up pieces of something where the thing was splattering around on the ground and our leg really felt the pain of the thing hitting our legs. I had to lift up my legs. After the whole thing ended, I checked out what was the thing that was hitting out legs. There was a piece of wire there. Guess that was the object that was flying about and hitting our legs.

Then we went to play the Euro Express (indoor roller coaster), we played three times and tried different seats. Then we played the bumper car, I'm always bad at controlling bumper cars. At a few times I got stuck and couldn't move my car at all. It was raining heavily at around 4+. Thus indoor rides were damn packed with people. Anyway, we went to join our family for dinner at 7+ at Hao You Ji Restaurant and their service was bad. But their food was better than Happy Valley (Theme Park Hotel), their portion of the food was miserable too for the 9 of us. We went back to our rooms to bathe and then went back to New World Plaza to play bowling. We wanted to play pool and teach Kristin to play pool too since there is no age limit there whereas S'pore there is even at Downtown East. But it's rather expensive there. RM3 per 15 mins then every min 20c thereafter. The tables were all taken too. So in the end, we went to the bowling alley beside and played a game. I never played bowling before. I got 30 points only. I got a strike by luck. And my other two younger cousins were better than me. At least I play pool better. Then we went to take a last ride before returning to our rooms. We bought Cupcorn on the way back.

My throat was irritating me that night and I could not sleep properly. I was coughing too. On the day of departure, we had cup noodles for breakfast and then we unpack and get ready to check out. We went for a quick lunch at the New World Plaza food court. It was like Marche. We gotta get a card to enter and chop on watever food we buy. My bus was the same double decker coach. Had no time to take a photo of the coach I'm in. The seats were comfy but the TV was quite bad but WTS Tours always played new Chinese movies for us. I watched The Last Bet (starring Marcus Chin, Mark Lee and Henry Thia). It was not too bad though there were some parts which we could not decipher what they were talking about cause of the feedback sound. We stopped by this provision shop downhill and bought snacks like cookies (Tau Sar Pia) and snacks.

My throat is still bad and I am able to work from home today as approved by Cass. Working at home is much better. I heard some bad news today too. My cousin was admitted into hospital since Thursday and yesterday he was in critical condition. The doctor then diagnosed that he had dengue fever. He's a poor boy. He's only 15 years old and he just diagnosed by doctors recently that he had arthritis (bone problem) at this age it is a rare case and he has been complaining of pain joints and bones and all but doctor was not able to diagnosed anything. He has been in and out of hospital past few months. And today the doctor has found out another sickness from him-dengue fever. And he's in the critical stage where all his blood streams were already entered by the virus and no medicine could cure him. I immediately seek Pastor's blessing to pray and visit him to help him pull through this two days critical observation period. I really hope he'll pull through with his willpower and body to fight this illness. I took leave again tomorrow hopefully I could visit him but my mum wouldn't let me cause she said I got flu. She's damn paranoid about whether I'll get the germs or pass the germs....But he's my cousin

Here are the pics from the Genting trip:
