Back From Genting! :D again.

All edits mentioned in this blog post were made on 27 March 2008, and because of boredom. Meh, I have nothing better to do anyway. XP

Back from Genting again after a four-day and three-night trip with my cousin Dave. To summarize everything: Fuck the evil mist which turned our roller-coaster riding frenzy into a arcade shooter games training session.

Dave and his sister arrived in my house on the morning of 17 December. We ate breakfast together, then went to play SDO. Took a few pictures of him trying to test my camera too, lol.

Took off at about ten o'clock, by my old man's car. Sit at the back of the car, squished in the center. Trip to Tuas Checkpoint is kind of quiet and silent. Started raining halfway.

Reached Tuas Checkpoint at around eleven. Passed the checkpoint. My mother freaked out seeing some sort of birds in the checkpoint. Go figure. *rolls eyes*

And begins the long and boring trip to Genting. Stopped at the first toilet available near the highway after the checkpoint and took out my Anti-Boredom Weapon of Doom, teh iPod Nano! Yeah, guess I gotta charge it later...

So, I went to switch places with Dave's sister, who changes name so frequently I don't know what to call her now. No longer being squished in the center, w00t w00t I suppose.

Dave took out his laptop and introduced me to this Mr Brown Show podcast. Yeah, good way to kill time, but I sacrificed music from it. Yup. o.O

The podcast is hilarous, so our trip there becomes strangely fast, despite the fact that we reached there about the same time as our last trip. It's like the old saying that time goes fast when you are with a beautiful girl and slow when you are with an ugly girl, plus a bonus "time extension" if she is fat. XD

Drived up the mountain. Turned off the air-con and opened the window to save electricity. Wind was strong and cooling. I just don't like the sharp turns that force us to move left and right in the vehicle.

Reached Genting at around four. Old man parked the car at Genting Hotel. Couldn't find a hotel room. Pfffft. Deposited our luggage at Genting Hotel and went to eat lunch at Good Friends Express.

A quote from Back From Genting :D:
"Went to eat dinner at Good Friends Express. Wanted noodles with soup. My mother came back with dried noodles. Bloody heck, she should dig her ears. Talk less listen more too."

This time I insisted on buying my own meal, and get sabotaged for having to buy the meals of my parents as well. Pfffft. I was the only one who finished eating the entire meal. Pfft, talk about wastage of food.

Old man got a hotel room from the black market while we were visiting the Visitor's Galleria, with two kids playing tag there. Sadly, my mother has the slip to retrieve our luggage. Whee. Dave should feel extremely relieved he brought his laptop along with him instead of leaving it with the luggage. I want my iPod... T_T

We went on to the hotel room in Highlands Hotel first while my old man searches for his wife in the big casino. Have fun, dude.

The hotel room had some sort of eerie and ghost-like, yet constant sound effect. Dave's sister thought it was a vacuum. She opened the door, looked to the left and indeed find a vacuum the housekeepers use. Unplugged and turned off. :S

She slammed the door shut. Literally. The sound is still there. I went out and found the vacuum, unplugged and turned off too. :S Dave thought of it being some sort of supernatural, being there people in Genting who commit suicide after losing at the casino. Sounds lame.

Turns out the sounds come from when the heavy winds blow at the windows. If you open the windows, which can only be opened a little (probably to prevent people from jumping out *rolls eyes*), the winds blow into the room, causing the sound effect. Thus, the door is extremely hard to open, having to pull it against the direction of the wind. But if you manage, the wind quickly blow outside of the room, causing a huge wind to blow in to replace the lack of air in the room. This causes the windows to slam with a DON!. Had fun playing with it. Dave was the one who managed to find out this Physics thingummywut. Applaud him.

Edit: I forgot to add that the weather outside was stormy and raining.

Oh, and a picture represents a thousand words. I was free and had nothing better to do anyway. ;)





Burned (Edit: Eh, surely I mean "killed" instead? ^_^") the time watching a stupid movie on television about some guy on a horse fighting a war against noobs with elephants and archers. Horse guy got owned, end of story kthsbye. Played Warcraft III but the laptop hibernated halfway due to lack of power. Appears that I plugged the laptop into the power source but forgot to turn it on. Pfft.

Old man came back with his wife at around seven. They brought luggage and conveniently ate dinner on the way while we were waiting boringly. Really nice.

The three of us went to eat KFC at Genting Indoor Theme Park. Likes how KFC and McDonald's are just next to each other. Guess it's for convenient's sake, you can throw ketchup bottles at your opponent easier with such short distance.

Being quite full, we ordered a three-piece set meal and shared it among ourselves.

Went to Indoor Theme Park and played games like Time Crisis IV (where my machine spoils and Dave had to play solo -.-), House of the Dead 4 (where Dave reprimands me for using it like a pistol instead of the machine gun it is -.-) and Time Crisis III (where Dave got K.O.ed easily -.-). Went back to hotel and sleep.

Dave's parents arrived in our room at five o'clock in the morning. They apparently arrived in Genting at either three or four and went to the casino. I woke up, along with Dave and his sister. Low temperature and constant noise robbed us of our sleepiness.

The three of us had to eat ourselves due to the adults' gambling addictions. We went to this convenient store (Edit: Lmao, surely I meant "convenience store"? Rofl, the store sure is convenient... XD) named Seven Seven (lame name, I know.), bought three cup noodles and just ate outside. Dave reprimanded me for drinking the soup. -.-

Outdoor Theme Park was closed due to heavy mist. God damn it. (Edit: God damn it, indeed.)

Went to Good Friends Restaurant for lunch. Parents leave for home after that, as my old man has work on that night. w00t w00t w00t. Pity my father, had to listen to the bitch bitch. o.O

As the room is only for one day, we have to book another one. Got one in First World Hotel. :S *gulps* Moving the luggage from Highlands Hotel to First World Hotel while trying to avoid the crowd is no easy task.

We then went to get a Wristband for First World Plaza. Went to sit at Rio Float due to boredom. Loooooooooooooooong queue at Euro Express, the only indoor roller coaster, and even more looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong queue at 4D Motion Master. The latter is a waste of forty minutes of queuing time and ten minutes of that stupid movie which is not exciting, not interesting, not fun, and a cause of headache. (Edit: For the headache part, I mean it literally. Remembered walking out there clutching my head, lol. Note to self: Bring panadol to Genting next time) Damn.

Long queues easily bore us, especially more when the Euro Express was going down to maintenance every fifteen minutes, so we went back to the small, cheap and lousy room we now have. Dave went to sleep and his sister followed. Bored, I went downstairs, walked around First World Plaza, doing some window shopping, and finally sat outside the Flying Coaster, in the cold and windy mist for an hour, as either silent protest (Edit: Protesting against the existence of the mist being the reason for being unable to play at the Outdoor Theme Part. Just thought I'd like to make this clear) or cold resistance training. Can't remember which. Ah, let's make it both. Cold winds plus water droplets condensing on my hair makes even me shiver. Temperature at about 15 to 20 degrees Celcius rocks. :D (Edit: Can't believe how I used to like the cold )

Went back to the room at night. Dave's parents are literally glued to the casino, so we went out to eat. Ate at Pizza Hut in First World Plaza. We ate this Set B for four people, consists of two Regular Pan Pizzas, four Soup-of-the-Day, a Regular Hut's Platter and a huge solid jug of pepsi. We ordered Hawaiian Supreme and Hawaiian Chicken, talk about a Hawaiian frenzy. :P Mushroom soup for Soup-of-the-Day, and six pieces of Tempura King Prawns and Tempura Calamari Rings and five pieces of Large Criss Cut Fries in the Platter. Wanted to eat four pieces out of the twelve pieces of pizza, but ended up eating seven due to not wanting to waste food. Dave ate only two, stupid bastard made me bloated. :P Drank two bowls of soup as well, while Dave only drank a little. Guess he did not like it. I ended up drinking most of the Pepsi too. *shifty eyes*

There is no peace eating in First World Plaza. Shouts and screams follow the roller coaster everywhere as it zooms around First World Plaza. What's so scary about that Euro Express anyway? Surely they don't have to scream until their lungs burst? Meh, go figure.

Dave's mother then called while we were window shopping. Turns out Dave's father, without the card key, returns to the room just to find it locked and unable to open. Common sense, bring a damn key next time you want to open a locked room. Or a lockpick if you want. (Edit: Is it a lockpick, or is it a picklock? o_______O)

Dave's sister found her mother at the lobby, so the two got together to chat. Dave continued walking to the lift. Thought he was so filial to his father he is willing to ignore his mother just to let him enter the room and rest after a hard day of entire gambling. Turns out Dave did not even see his mother. And I thought I had difficulty spotting people in crowds. -.-

Dave's father rants literally as we approaches him, sitting outside the door. We quickly opened the door for him and fled. Go figure. (Edit: I don't see why we ended up being ranted at, even though we sacrificed our own time to deliver the card key to him. Next time, if you ever get bored of gambling and happen to not have the card key, please don't go back to the hotel and grumpily wait outside the room. We would prefer it if you would kindly walk around, maybe window shop, and kill time on your own next time. Of course, you can always hang around the casino, watch other people play, and laugh your ass off when this guy loses a lot of money in a single bet. Of course, don't worry, we would rush to your aid if he happens to beat you up. A good fight is just what I desire. Obviously, you would have to wait until I get 21 though, since I can't enter the casino and help you in your fight when I can't get in. -.- Don't worry, four more years to go. :D I talked too much on this edit. Oops.)

Spent the next fifteen minutes trying to find Dave's sister while I explained what happened in the lobby to Dave. Can't find them. We ended up going to Ripley's Believe It Or Not.

Display was very interesting, from tricky mathematics questions to displayment of cannibalism, from the luckiest chair in the world (made entirely of horseshoes) to prison cells and torture devices. Weapons on display was nice.

I still remember there was a mirror on the wall. Above is the caption "Can you roll your tongue like this?" while on the left and right are pictures of people ridiculously rolling their tongues in stupid ways. Dave and I tried for a while. We then heard laughter. I tried looking through the mirror, turns out to be a glass and the people across the glass can see us rolling our tongues. Shitty hell. XD Was mad at that time, but now that I think about it, it's funny. Rofl. XD Went all the way around, and we found the glass. Above is a quote that says "There is a sucker born every minute." Roflmao.

There was also a stupid mathematic thingy. Think of a number, times it by two, add ten, divide by two and subtract the number, and you get five. Let's do it the algebra way.

(x x 2 + 10) / 2 - x = 5
(2x + 10)/2 - x = 5
x + 5 - x = 5
5 = 5

Lol. -.-

There was also two closed doors which can only be opened a bit. Two wax figures, one male and one female, were using the toilet behind. Fascinating. Surprisingly Dave did not look at the female and stare at her for hours.

And there is also this room where the circular wall, shaped like a cylinder, rotates, with stars as background. Two mirrors at each side, with a bridge. Walk across and you will get dizzy, although the room is not technically moving. Optical illusion. Made us exit with a headache. XD

Other interesting displays too, but I hope to manage to end this blog post. XD

Went to sleep. Five people in two beds. Crowded like shit. And Dave's attempts to take the entire pillow for himself is not helping either. Low temperature and lack of gloves and boots make it much worse. Ended up getting about just five hours of sleep. Who cares anyway?

Went to Good Friends Restaurant for breakfast. Ate a lot until I was bloated already, and uncle still insists on ordering more. Nmaa, I dislike eating there just because of this reason.

Most rides I look forward to in Outdoor Theme Park are still closed due to heavy mist. God damn it. Seriously.

Went to Fantasy World Arcade in First World Plaza. Played House of the Dead 2 and Time Crisis III there. Talk about more arcade shooter games training and practice sessions. *rolls eyes*

We weren't hungry during lunch, so we skipped it and threw it out of the window.

Dave and his sister went to sleep due to boredom. I took Dave's laptop and played Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team. Lol. Good game. Too bad it's way too similar to Digimon World 2.

Weren't hungry during dinner too. Threw out of the window.

Played Pokémon until 11pm. Defeated Legendaries like Zapdos, Moltres, Articuno and Groudon. With a Machop and a Pikachu.

Then I went to bed. Dave's turn to play Pokémon.

He was still playing when I woke up at around 10am. Didn't remember his parents returning to room or not, so I don't know whether they spent an entire night in the casino or what.

Dave was being pretty lame that morning. Activating his 'playful mode', he calls himself a Sergant and us two Peons. Used violence to counterattack. HERO HERO STORM!! XD (Edit: Hero Hero Storm is one of my attacks where I delivered an upwards kick at the target and sent him flying upwards. I then jump up and punch upwards as fast as I can. Ouch.)

Went to check if Outdoor Theme Park is finally open. No go. Fucking mist. Wait a moment. Make that "_*FUCKING*_ mist". DX

One more arcade shooter game training and practice session.

Went back to hotel and got ready to leave. Ate lunch at a restaurant in First World Plaza. Spaghetti was not bad; tea sucks.

Went to First World Bus Terminal at 1.30pm. Bus arrived at 2.30pm. Fucking hell, waste of my one hour.

The buses at Five Stars were all like, WOW! O.O Massage chairs, legs reflexology, personal gaming, karaoke, etc., etc., etc. Looked forward to boarding the bus. Until...

We get a completely normal and ordinary coach.

BLOODY FUCKING BIAS HELL!

Uh-hem. *clears throat*

_*BLOODY FUCKING BIAS HELL!*_

Someone behind (I think my uncle) shouted "Horrible!", I went along and shouted "Terrible!". What the fuck. Noobs get the good buses and pros get the lousy buses. Bias shitbag. (Edit: I lament at the sad fact that nobody else shouted "Vegetable!" )

Bus went down the mountain, reached some shop at 3pm. It stopped there. Went down the bus and bought a big packet of some fish thingy snack to kill time. Bus only left at 4pm. Waste of another hour. Dave insisted on not buying anything. "I'm not going to improve Malaysia's economy! I'm not going to let them earn commission!" Retarded. :P

Music rocks in killing time.

Reached Singapore at 10.30pm. Got a taxi at 11pm. Reached home at 11.30pm. End of adventure.

THE END
