back from a 3 day trip from genting. well, alot less than 3 days, actually. we arrived at 3.22am on tuesday and left at 2.30pm on wednesday, meaning we spent barely 24 hours in genting. ah well, life sucks, get used to it.

starting this blog entry at about 1.56am, let's see what time i'll end. if you're guessing, yes, i am gonna do a long picture post again, so once again, be forewarned of the ultimate loading time (i have like, 54 pics in my cam alone, not counting those sent by wj and meihui. will try to cut out useless ones). don't worry though, i'm gonna, once again, try my best to do as long a post as possible so you can view the pictures at your own pace leisurely. aren't i kind?

well, for starters, i met up with sharon and wj at bbecc at 8, went to meihui's house, then cabbed to boon lay, where we boarded the coach at 9.30. it takes like, 6 hours just to get there. well, at least there was some form of entertainment. watched harry potter 4 on the small screen behind the chair in front of me, if you know what i mean. went on to watch elektra, but was cut off halfway when the bus was about to arrive.
got there, checked in and went into our rooms. wj and i shared the room which had like, the most unlucky number i've ever seen: "13911". good thing i don't believe in bad luck.

all 4 of us didn't sleep, went around the place (first world hotel) taking pictures.only went back a few hours later to sleep for awhile. i couldn't sleep, seeing as there was a "motorbike" sharing the same bed as me :p

woke up, well, got up, actually, at 10.40, brushed, bathed, dressed, woke wj, went over to the girls' room, found out both were awake, hung around for awhile, joined by wj, went back to our room, put all the cameras and wallets into my shoebag, and set off.

turns out, the freaking theme park was freaking closed because of the freaking rain, making us feel as if we freaking wasted our freaking time. had to freaking settle for the freaking indoor theme park which was freaking substandard with a freaking roller coaster that was so freaking slow even freaking wj didn't freaking scream.went for the freaking "4D motion master", which freaking meant that they gave you freaking 3d glasses and the freaking seats would move as the camera moves. kinda lame, actually, i don't know if the 3d glasses they gave me was screwed, or if their projector just sucked, but the image looked nothing like 3d. also, when they played lame trickes like throwing knives at you and all, you get bored real quick. at the start, i have to admit i was a little apprehensive, but that was due to past experience, when i went to singapore science centre and they had a 3d show. that was real 3d, scared the heck out of the 9 to 11 year old me.

didn't have much to do after that, browsed around the shops, and i found this perfect jacket that costed only 89.90RM, meaning less than s$45! would've bought it, but i decided to look around more and when i got back it was already gone. damn tourists... also, we played pool, and i have to say, it's freaking fun. i love being 16.

had dinner at some restaurant with meihui's family (yea, forgot to mention that they were there. we only came to genting because meihui invited us to tag along). the food there was like, damn good, much much much much much better than those served at grad night. the fish was great, but i didn't eat much though, took most of the vegetable, which was also damn nice. there was also scrambled egg, which smelled so nice, but too bad, there were onions in it. walked around again after that, then went back to the hotel to play some card games. here's an anecdote: when you put sharon plus "heart attack" plus sore throat together, you get a high sharon making the occasional dinosaur roars.

went back out again, meihui and i armed with instant noodles, and went out to the open where the fog and cold air blew against your whole body. eating hot instant noodles in cold weather feels good. the air was like super refreshing, and the noodles, well, they were instant noodles. went back to the hotel after that to catch a few Zs, this time i fell asleep before the motorbike started, so, all's good.

went around again the next day, had pizza hut brunch, played pool again, and went around the shops for souvenirs for some friends. i only bought for like, 2 people, and shared with wj a present for winnie, our cell group leader. went back to singapore after that.

really hope that we'll be able to go overseas for longer periods in future, but seeing as we're all gonna end up probably in different polys, we'll probably lose contact sooner or later. that's how it was with all my primary school mates, and i don't see why this should be any different. besides, it's already starting to happen with some people. ah well, let's start the picture post.

gonna sleep after this, morning shift tomorrow, so, again, you guys had better enjoy these photos.

cya.
