Going up!

This is the first time I spend a festive holiday in Genting.

The crowd can kill. I bet it is as big as the population in Penang.

We left at about 10am, and arrived 11+.

Foggy eh?

I went to the indoor theme park in the Resort part of Genting, the old one. I didn't play anything though. I'm surprised myself! All the while I only wanted to go indoors, as I'm too much of a coward to play the outdoor park.

Why? I'm guessing that I'm torn between winning the Big prize which was a really cute purple hippo (>.<) or unlucky enough to not win anything and instead left with 50+ tickets which IMO, not worth exchanging for anything worthwhile. Good stuff can only be redeemed with at least 100+ tickets. And since I'm only there for awhile, I decided to just stand by and watch everyone else having fun. =(

Tried to sneak in the casino with my mum and relatives... OF COURSE kena caught lah... Sigh.

Trust me, I'll get stopped next yet too even if I'm legally 21.

So I spent the afternoon wandering around. I even had a dizzy/fainting spell while eating lunch! Lucky I was sitting down or I would have fell. I'm weak, I know that since I had several blackouts in secondary school. =/

Speaking of eating, the meals up there were terrifyingly expensive! Now I know why we should always bring cup noodles lol! Imagine 3 plates of nasi campur and 3 teh tarik costing RM80+! I could have 123124342 plates and glasses of teh in KL.

Oh, we visited Lim Goh Tong's museum!

Me and my mahjong sifus.

We also drank some chinese tea worth Rm100 per pot. (@_@) Thanks to my kaiyeh's friend for the drink! Lol.

About 7.30pm, we headed to the Arena of Stars for the concert!

The queue.


The eerie theme park in Genting at night. It was kinda beautiful in a way.

Oh, and what better way to prove that you don't really know someone that well when you can't spell their name...

She's FrancEs Yip. Not FrancIs Yip. Stupid me.

What I DO know is... that she's good! And she speaks in both English and Cantonese so it's cool for me. I can understand her! XD

She sang non-stop from about 2 hours. No breaks, not even to drink water. Just chatting and singing. She's gorgeous for a 68 year old! No kidding! So elegant and proper. She can even crack jokes.

At least I wasn't bored. I know only about 20% of the songs she sang. Lol.

Also, the room we had was soooooooo small. 9 of us magically fitted on the 2 queen size bed that we split in half.

Best comment from kaiyeh:

"We look like dead bodies"

Because the mattresses are in white. So are the blankets. And the mattresses are all on the floor. Creepy.

Couldn't really sleep though because my nephew keeps coughing and wheezing that they brought him to the clinic downstairs.

We left Genting the next day about 10am. Then played mahjong until 12am. *dies*

I had a full Christmas in 2009. I hope the same goes to you. =)

Dad says that he wants to watch Avatar in 3D! OMGGGGG I cannot believe how shocked I am to hear that. We have not been to the cinema for a very long time as a family. the last time was the FREE pass to watch the premier of Da Vinci Code. I hope it is still showing in cinemas next week!
