Yo! I'm back with a random migraine on my head and lovingly hot body. So, what happened? Hmmm, i went up to Genting with my Sunway Family + Seow Pin on the 14th !! Yeah, another trip to that place, and another time staying at Awana. The last time i went there is for my Prefect's trip. Then the previous time before that is with my school's Lion Dance Troupe. Both times were enjoyable and served to make me familiar with Genting. I was kinda leading the troop when we need some little guidance but other than that, i'm the sick dragging behind >_<. Put that aside, we reached the cable car station at around 3 not knowing what to do next and a very 'helpful' booth attendant directed us the wrong way to the bus stop to take us to Awana. We went up 4 floors, only to end up walking back down 4 floors and heave our heavy stuff across a 100m distance. Good thing the bus is already there, and the ride was just a breeze. The apartment we are staying was a stone's throw away from the awana bus stop, so it was very easy for us to not miss the bus ;p The apartment was.... hotel-like, unlike those serviced apartments i come to expect. The boys and girls were at first rushing for the best bedroom but since we gentlemans are so kind, we gave the ladies the jacuzzi toilet. But somehow they din appreciate it, it was untouched XD.
We went up after the initial packing and boy, it was cold. I should have brought my wind breaker and my headache started then. And this Cheryl was so ~ afraid of heights, screaming all the way up but good thing she had however minute gotten over it on the way down. Our first target was the food court ! Since it is a food court, the prices should be relatively cheaper than the rest, but think again after chicken rice is RM9 and 500ml water is RM3. I got myself a noodle soup costing RM6.80 but the portion they gave is generous compared to our hawkers.
Oki, the pain subsided a bit so we decided to visit Ripley's museum. RM18 for witnessing 500+ items is kinda reasonable, considering these are rare things. Among those that took my attention was the tribal weapon ( axe + pistol combined) and the ajar door teasing our eyes to feast on a lady using the toilet ! Lolx ! I'm not a pervert but THAT is really rare, even though it is a fake person but still ! RARE ! Other than that, i had seen all the others someplace before, so i just kinda pass by them. Halfway through, my migraine got worse and i gotta rest....later after walking out, my condition was so bad i need a sleep and my wonderful friends lovingly brought me back. But before that, we stopped by a Chinese Craft showcase and adored their amazing craft, ranging from glass ball decoration ( that one where some flakes will fall after we upturn it) to metal wire molding. SI was really fascinated by that metal wire molding and bought one frame back with his father's name written through wires. When that Master was crafting, Cheryl suddenly got terribly sick and sonce i'm the only person there who knew what's happening, i just warned the others b4 i set out to get the med from the pharmacy. And the pharmacy was close ! Good thing it subsided a little while later, and after buying KFC for dinner, we headed back. I took a Panadol at night, kinda forced by Cheryl XD Anyway, i know i'm stubborn.
Next day, morning wake up and Bryan and KT became chefs ! Bryan started out by making frankfurters and oh god, we gotta remind him that he gotta slice them a bit before he cook. KT tried his hand on spaghetti and my verdict is that it is edible, he can't make it better due to lack of ingredients but well, i had a good breakfast ! I brought Campbell Instant Soup so i made one for every person. I expected that each box had only one sachet for a breakfast but inside got 3 sachets, now we got a problem to drink it all up b4 we go down. Breakfast settled, we went off to the arcade ! But i was still recuperating so i stayed behind and after some while another Panadol went down. Then i was in the bowling alley and i saw most of them din have a bowling style so i decided to show off abit. RM5 for a game and RM2 for shoes, at least it's cheaper by RM1 compared to last time. I was happily getting ready and i bowled my first. At the last step, i should slide forward to flow the power but eik ! My shoe braked ! So i skidded a bit and the ball was way ~ over and into the drain. Ah.. so embarassing. There was like 4 people standing behind me and watching me ! Bad footwork = bad game, i managed only 79 and any 7 year old kid can get that score !
Feeling frustrated, i went to play Ohmega Force which is actually allows u to hold a gun replica and shoot away at the target. They got two types : training and arcade mode, i blast my shots away playing both of them. Finally feeling cooled down, lunch time had arrived and we avoid the food court at all costs ! We went for the restaurant beside it, and although it was slightly expensive, it was worth it when compared to the foodcourt food, we could not helped but feeling shortchanged. Arcade done, lunch done, so this time it's rides !
1st ride : Motion master -> RM6 -> Verdict :I rather give those six buxks to a beggar. 2nd ride : Snoworld -> RM15 -> -2 degrees, too cold and i'm sick. 3rd ride : Walking outside -> Free -> Colder still, i had to cover myself up like Kakashi to survive that ordeal. But well, amazingly but saddening, time is almost up for home. So we grabbed ourselves a snack b4 we go back to rest. 1st dish -> Telok Anson Chee Cheong Fun -> RM6 -> Rm6 for only 2 strands of it ! and it is cold ! wt.. 2nd dish -> Chicken Pie -> RM2.50 -> Omg, too small, not worth it. 3rd dish -> Lotus Pau -> RM2.50 -> thinking: " must be normal size la cos i seen a gigantic pau on a tray !" -> again so small ! I'll never buy food in Genting anymore ! In the end, all of us made our own dinner, SI and KT had spaghetti again, i had Dim Sum and soup while the others Maggi Cup. I took another 2 panadols later and soon im all awake and joined in the games. SI was patiently teaching 1st timer Bryan on playin Mastermind while i kept on winning playin Cho Tai Ti but that winning streak got broken after Kelvyn joins in >_< Sleep again and as for our last game b4 we go back, all of us played Mastermind. We somehow helped the player analyse and then we derived new strategies and all that. I thought that the placing of the red and white pin got to do with the specific coloured pins at first, now i know it's not lolx ! Well, we grabbed a snack at Delifrance before we head down. I done it again ! i used my international student card and got the d/c w/o that cashier knowing that it expired ;p
light my way ♥
