And we set off on our journey! Parents are a pain. Mother wants me to wear the new shoes I bought yersterday, while father wants me to wear the old ones in case the new ones are too small (like what happened last time) and thus uncomfortable. Zzz.
The taxi we booked have already arrived, but my mother is nowhere in sight. Figuring that she would still be taking her own sweet time walking down, I wasn't too bothered and worried, but my father and grandmother just had to go all panicky. "Argh, she's missing!" "She must have went out to the streets!" "Call her, quick!" And the moment I call her, tch, she arrives. That's why I said I wouldn't even bother... Trust adults to make a mountain out of a molehill...
We've now reached our destination: Beach Road. Taxi fare cost thirteen dollars, including booking fee of $2.50. Why must our journey start with a 13, lol...?
Gotta prepare for my journey ahead. Earphones, earphones... Wow, the road is filled with cars horning. Must be one heck of a traffic jam. Sucks to be whoever live here, having to deal with all the noise and shit...
Boarded the coach, now just waiting for it to go off. Raining cats and dogs now, just great, it's just going to create more hassle for people...
Saw a chiobu while waiting for the coach just now, haha. She looks so cute, lol... Wonder if I'll ever see her again... XD
And oh, I saw a girl that looked like Jasmine as well. Well, I wasn't really that sure. She passed by me damn briefly, and furthermore I wasn't wearing my spectacles. Meh.
Reached the checkpoint at Tuas, sort of. Traffic jam here, so we're just waiting on the coach for our alighting. Hope they hurry up lol...
I'm on the coach now, waiting for it to leave from Tuas Checkpoint and depart to the Malaysian checkpoint...
Saw the cute girl again at the checkpoint, haha. Tried queuing in the same lane as her, rofl, but my grandmother directed me to another lane with elss people, so no choice, lol. Jumped past the metal fences agilely, but turns out the other queue isn't that short either.
Father ran off somewhere else and got past much faster than me. T.T Hack, lol, he went and used some card, and proceeded to go off abandoning me. T.T Lol...
Finally got past after a long wait. On the way to the toilet, a fat guy like Gary Brolsma like that in front of me, swinging his arms wildly. Damn scare he hit me nia, so I SOC (Siam One Corner). Haha.
HACK! First is my father, now my mother. I'm queuing up for the Malaysian checkpoint now, and I'm expecting to wait a long long time, given their low efficiency. My mother got through with speed using a short queue, and that's because her passport is one of a Malaysian. Hack, lol...
OH MY GOD!!! There's a swarm of banglas incoming!! Grab your submachine guns and defend yourself! Lok-tar! Lok-tar!
No kidding... *rolls eyes*
Now on the coach after the Malaysian checkpoint, waiting for the coach to depart.
Just now, back at the checkpoint, I saw a sign that said something like "All visitors are advised to check the stamp on your passport before leaving the immigration counter." And I'm like "What the fuck? Before leaving the integration counter?" Haha. Maths crazy me.
Took the wrong lane, lol. My father took the one left of mine and was much faster. The family in front of my grandmother fucking took their own sweet time, god damn it.
Just realized that Zetsubou Billy, the second ending of Death Note, can actually be used as battle music, lol. It started playing on my mp3 player, and some god damned bangla came, and my urge for battle came to me, and I realized just how great this piece of music can be as a battle music, rofl...
Took us a long time to find our coach, as we had to switch to another one. Father was complaining on how shitty the bus was, since he's probably expecting a bus much better, adding some vulgarities along the way. Strongly reminds me of my return trip from Genting last time, lol, where my father's brother was complaining.
"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. Someone behind (I think my uncle) shouted "Horrible!", I went along and shouted "Terrible!"."
This just shows that they are brothers and indeed related by blood, haha! I bet the other four brothers of my father would do the same too! :P
And oh, speaking of my father scolding vulgarities, I like how they act all irritated and shit when they hear you saying one, but can actually be ten times more skilful saying them, rofl.
Fucking hell, start of the trip and my mother in front had to lower her chair so fucking much. Start of journey only sleep what shit leh. Make me damn uncomfortable only. Then I just say "Oi, oi, oi, 你太过分了啊！" and everyone in front turned around to look at me. -_-
Okay, time to go and start watching some videos.
I just realize that some of the videos I downloaded yersterday, like Battle Frontier (English) and Target - Akai Shougeki, tend to lag, with the audio a good several seconds before the video, screwing the viewing experience up severely. I lack a fix here, so all I can do is to delete them and then re-download them when I get back.
The coach is going so extremely slow that my father is regretting not driving. Haha.
The coach has stopped at a toilet, and I'm waiting for it to depart.
The high amount of power usage of my handphone is too high, too unexpectedly high. Damn, damn, damn. Only about a measly ten percent left. How the heck am I to survive the remaining trip? Sigh...
Bought a packet of prawn crackers and a bottle of coca-cola just now. :D
Grandmother has just told me not to eat too much sweets (as I have been doing so for the past three hours or so :D). Yay, I don't have to admit that Vernon is pro! XD
Woke up after taking a nap. Gonna go back to sleep again, hehe...
Got freaking bored and just decided to heck care, taking out music to listen. Hope battery can "ganbatte"! XD
And oh, as can you can probably see, I'm extremely bored. XD
Just saw the Petronas Twin Towers. Damn, those Malays are crazy, spending all of their wealth on building two freaking towers and leaving the rest of the places, especially their toilets, shittier than shit...
For some stupid reason my father is complaining that the coach isn't stopping at a restaurant, as the coach stops into a petrol station. The noob expects way too freaking much. Man, I suppose being pessimist does have its advantages. I don't look forward to the coach stopping at a restaurant and being able to eat, because I wasn't expecting it to do so anyway. At least, in that way, I don't complain so much and become a nuisance to others. -_-
The fucking toilet in the petrol station was way more shittier than shit. There's even a piece of disgusting shit in the sink! Shit! What the shit is this shit!? I was scolding vulgarities due to it, and was surprised that my father wasn't complaining that I'm doing so...
Grandmother is pestering me to eat some cakes, even though I already refused several times. Go figure.
Grandmother told me in a calm manner (as compared to the aggressive tone of my father) that she hopes that the driver can stop at a restaurant for everyone to eat.
Even her! Holy shit! Am I the only fucker left on this coach who isn't hungry!?
Die liao die liao! Handphone battery really low liao! Die liao!
And yet my father still called my handphone (he's beside me by the way) just to test if he can call me. -_-
Driver is going way too fucking slow... Sian...
Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god! We are going way too slow!
Still climbing up the Genting mountain by the way...
It's raining now... Sigh... Sian...
With the rain and mist, visibility is extremely low. Fuck, I hope it isn't that damned thing again... *refers to coming to Genting last year with Dave, where extreme heavy mist kept us indoors for three days in a row*
Oh, and yes, we're still on the fucking coach... Zzz...
And begins the boring operation of waiting to get a hotel room.
I'm charging the battery of my handphone as I type this. Where? The hotel lobby, of course! Hahaha, shamelessly using electricity that doesn't belong to you, that's me! :D
And oh, haha, the spot where I'm charging my battery is at the same exact same spot where Dave and I played his laptop while waiting to check-in during our last trip! ;)
Fuck fuck fuck, way too many banglas here. A swarm of bangla here, a swarm of bangla there. Argh!! Since when the fuck did Genting become so bangla-infested!? Rargh! Sakujo... Sakujo...! Sakujo!! XD
Left my father somewhere else to wait for checking-in. About thirty-five people waiting in front of him, so I just told him to wait there, saying "I'll be back in ten minutes! Provided I know the time..." XD By the way, neither watch nor handphone was with me then, so I can't tell the time.
Mother's being a fucking bitch. I'll elaborate, but gotta rush! Ten minutes are up!
Okay, now I'm with my father, waiting for check-in. Still twenty people in front, and it's already fifteen minutes. Estimating thirty minutes for the wait to end, so might as well blog.
So, I was charging my handphone at some corner, dumping all our bags there too, right? My grandmother went off to sit down on a chair, leaving my mother to look after the belongings. And my mother just has to be a fucking bitch. She resents having to look after the items, complaining that her legs ache from all the standing when she can just sit on the floor. Ask her just fucking sit on the floor and she goes all, "My clothes will get dirty! People step on the floor!" Bitch.
I pointed at a crowd of banglas, stating that her clothes will get even dirtier if she approaches them. *rolls eyes*
And yet she just keeps wanting to just go sit down on a chair. Can't even assign her a simple duty of looking after the damned bags. Bitch...
So no choice lor. Charge until halfway just pluck it out, ask her do whatever fucking shit she wants and just get the fuck out and go join my father. Fucking bitch, useless and with zero percent sense of responsibility some more. Damn gald she's my father's wife and not MY wife. I'm not going to get an irresponsible woman for a wife, man, NEVER!
Come to think of it, whenever Dave's family comes, his father can go off and gamble without any worries, because he knows full-well that aunt can take care of everything. On the other hand, my father here has to take care of anything and everything and worry about anything and everything. Sigh, no wonder they all say marriage is a fucking huge thin and shit. Looking at my poor father, who would dare to deny that statement?
My father has so little sense of direction, it's ridiculous, especially since I have a bunch of them... Will blog later when free.
The below is made as an edit on 10:43pm Sun 17 Jun 2007:
Got my mother to accompany me to Fantasy World - Video Simulation Machines to play arcade. House of the Dead III sucks. First rifle I used was shitty and I could not reload with it, so I got owned in Chapter 0. -_- Switched to using the rifle on the right. Still, six bullets, what the fuck... Isn't even enjoyable at all. Why the fuck did I bother?
Went to play Time Crisis III. The exact same one which Dave and I played on last year so much that I can practically describe it as "training"... Solo-wise, I suck at Time Crisis, lol. I'm more of a supporter. "You charge in with whatever weapon you freaking want to use. I'll back you up with cover fire from my machine gun! ;)" Rofl. So I played solo. The bullets of my three 'special' guns ran out fasther than the number of punches Luffy can deliver in Gear Second with Jet Gatling Gun. -_- Used handgun and got pwned. Waste of money.
Left two dollars inside the card. I see my mother so 乖 accompany me, I let her choose a game and let her play it, haha. She chose some lame drumming game. Damn confusing, didn't know what the fuck I was doing. Got two sore arms and -RM2. Yay. -_-
Oh my god! I just saw the cute girl again! :) Haha, just walk past damn briefly lah. :3
I later than blog about what happened. Not free now...
Now in the shittier room. We got two rooms, one "good" room (still don't know how good it is lah) and one shitty room.
All three of them are full of complains. Grandmother complains about small TV size, father about lack of toilet room and lack of remote control for TV, and mother complaining about the fan being too strong. Zzz leh, they first time come or what.
Gotta go liao, later than blog.
The below is made as an edit on 10:36pm Sun 17 Jun 2007:
Got my father to accompany me to Vision City, Genting Indoor Theme Park for arcade. Choked RM50 into my card, mwahahaha. The time for pwnage has come...
Was damn eagerly looking forward to House of the Dead IV, but cheebye, two people down there fixing it when we went there. -_-
Went to Time Crisis IV, but people playing it, zzz. Went to Time Crisis III. Two sets for two players each there. One of the four black screen, the other two card cannot scan.-_- Last one I let my father play. He no need hide one lor, just take handgun go killing spree, then kena owned because he don't know how to change weapons. Haha.
Then went to play Daytona USA 2. Kena scammed, cannot link together. Zzz. Then play separately I lasted longer than him. Mwahahaha.
House of the Dead IV like fix finish like that, so I went there. One gun missing nia, what the fuck? Then one Malaysian Chinese kid warn me that it's damn hard to aim with the remaining gun. I asked him to elaborate, he told me to just give it a try. So I just try lor. Wah, kena sai! Totally impossible to aim nia! Kena owned lor, and some more one pack of teenagers looking at me play. Malu nia...
Then went to play Time Crisis IV with my father. Damn shuang. Game Over liao continue again. XD Play until bok kai, rofl. Play until beginning of Stage 3 my father Game Over don't want continue, so he asked some kid to take over. Bam. Instant communication breakdown. Then I play until I used up my three lives damn fast, then I decided that I was just wasting money, so just quitted lol. I like the stage where you shoot from helicopter. Infinite number of bullets, no reloading, so just shoot until they drop dead. XD
Then played Initial D with my father. Wah, remind me damn much of the Initial D parody in School Rumble, rofl, especially with the music, exactly the same one nia! First game I won and led by 1.5km, rofl, just because my father cannot find the Change View button, then cannot see his car he damn confused. XD Had a rematch. Led by half a kilometre, then I damn bored, so just stop down there wait for him, then drive in front of him and make him crash into me. XD But then he too fast, not enough time to prepare, then he overtook and I couldn't catch up. T.T
RM50, used up so fast. -.-
Then I bought my father to the Flying Coaster, hoping he can ride on it with me. I've been hoping he'd do so last year:
"Bloody fuckers at Flying Coaster. Bought two tickets for RM10 and they complained like shit. Wanted to buy the RM12 one but they brought it down for maintenance. Fucking asshole bastards. I was more vulgar at that time. Be glad you don't get to hear it."
And as fucking fate would have it, we encountered the same problem! FUCK!
Then like damn sian, because nothing to do. Zzz. I took a brochure for the Theme Park, and checked that the park closes at 10pm, four more hours, lol. I asked if I can buy a wristband and come out and play. My father agreed.
Went to buy ticket. Found out that buying a two-day one is cheaper than buying an one-day one, and since I believe I'll be revisiting the Outdoor Theme Park tomorrow, might as well buy a two-day one to save money. Next, I wanted to accompany my father back to the room. Then I take my jacket and digital camera, he take whatever he wants, and we both leave for Theme Park and Casino respectively. Then he see like so troublesome like that, ask me to just go directly. I agree lor, all those unneeded items give him to put at room, and went off to play. Whee!
Just finished riding the Pirate Ship. Was really cold, especially since I wasn't wearing my jacket (left it in hotel room).
Sat at last second row, between an around 5 year odl boy and 18 year old guy. Boy wasn't wearing any jacket, just a short sleeves T-shirt and pair of shorts. Guy was wearing a fucking jacket with long sleeves and a fucking hood, as well as long pants. Throughout the ride, guy was freaking complaining how cold it is, while the girls sitting in row behind are screaming in fear like shit. Boy didn't say anythign. Near end of ride, when I was getting bored, I shifted attention elsewhere: To the boy beside me. I was complementing silently on how brave and cold-resistant the boy is throughout the latter half of the ride... until the end of the ride, when he complains to his father (who is sitting in the row in front) how cold he is.
......
Just took the Corkscrew twice with a Malay, who's around 22 years old. Was chatting enjoyably with him. He's a nice guy, lol. Turns out he's from Singapore too. Heh.
After two rides, the Corkscrew had to close for "maintenance", so we left, me going to sit on the Space Shot while he goes off looking for his family...
Damn, it's fucking cold here. Temperature's like 12 degress Celcius, according to the estimation of the cool Malay guy just now. Damn windy, and I am without a jacket. Haha, just imagine how freaking cold I am here. Argh! Wind's blowing again! I've lost count of the numbers of time I combed my hair. Freaking winds, stop screwing my hairstyle up!
Argh! COLD!!
Oh my God! It's getting so freaking cold! I'm starting to shiver involuntarily! Let's go! Cold Resistant Aura!
This coldness is unnatural! Winds are so strong that plant pots topple and collapse! But I must stay strong...! For Lordaeron! Frost Resistant Aura, go!!
And oh, I took a photo of the huge Energizer battery in Genting Hotel, lol. Damn, why must they change it? I prefer a can of Coca-Cola (my favorite drink) over some lame battery anytime, anywhere.
Just finished Space Shot. Sat with a Chinese guy, looks about 14. As fate turns out, he's from Singapore too! Man, it's his first time on Space Shot, and alone furthermore! Didn't felt cold as we went up, probably because fear took over.
We reached the top and waited for it to plunge down. Was really scared, lol. First time in a long time, and first time at night in an even longer time. I asked him if it is alright for me to say vulgarities, and luckily he said, "Anything." Lol. I proceeded to repeatively spam vulgarities (^_^) , and the damn thing finally dropped.
For the first half a second or so, I was scared like fuck, but I guessed I sort of got used to it, because I felt it was "no kick" after that, lol. The guy was awfully brave for his first time, not a single shout nor scream exiting his mouth.
Then we left. He had to catch a movie, so I went off to the Cyclone alone.
Cyclone was boring to be honest, rofl. Sitting alone in a four-person car, mwahahaha. No wonder the queue is so long...
Ride no kcik lah. Sit way too many times to get any fright from it.
They took a photo of me during the ride, rofl. The picture of me, emotionless face with arms up in the air just for fun, was hilarious indeed.
I left for Flying Dragon.
At first I thought that Flying Dragon was closed, because very few... okay, fuck the lie, no one was walking towards it. The thought that the ride (which contained many dear memories of Dave and me riding it) being closed disgusts me, but I just had to go and take a look for confirmation's sake.
As fate, again, permits, the ride was thankfully operating. I went and sat at the front seat. Again, no one came to accompany me, so I'm just sitting alone.
Two annoying Malays were sitting behind me and were unnecessarily making huge deals of noise, bringing pain to my eardrums. Mother fuckers...
As the ride rid through a restaurant at First World Plaza, I saw a dining woman covering her ears. *looks behind* Can't freaking blame her. Reminds me of a saying by my Maths teacher... um...*starts counting* six years ago, "Empty vessels make the most noise." Sigh...
Just realized how boring Flying Dragon is without a friend lol. If only Dave is here, haha. It's great to be with nakama...
Looking around, with nothing left to do and no rides left to "conquer", I took a huge round and finally went back to the hotel.
Back to the hotel room. Nothing to do, so I just decided to just take a bath, with hot water to counter the blasted coldness. Damn shiok nia. Bath for thirty minutes then realized no towel. Roflmao, HOW CARELESS!! XD
Nothing to do without a towel, lol, so I just spent more time soaking in the refreshing hot water. Fifteen minutes later, someone knocked on the door, lol. Was expecting to be room service delivering towers, but how the fuck do I go out and open the door without one? Then no choice, so just went out to check who the fuck the persistent bastard it. Turns out it's my father, rofl. A while later, I hear voices of my mother and grandmother, meaning that they came back too. Father called for room service AGAIN to deliver the freaking towels.
Went off for dinner, and to get my father to ride the Flying Coaster!
Wah lao, lame leh! My handphone's notes, which I have been using to write my blog entries, has reached 30 in numbers and I cannot create any more! How freaking lame... I have no choice but to write this on a piece of paper I found in the hotel room...
First thing we did after we (me and my parents) left the shitty hotel room (grandmother stayed behind for some reason) was to get the better hotel room. Compared to this afternoon, when the lobby was choked with people, there's only a handful of people at night, lol. DIdn't take long to get ourselves the "good" room.
We interrupt this blog post. The blog author has left to make himself a cup of coffee. Time now is 11:51pm by the way. *sleepy eyes* =_=
After getting the room, I shooed my mother off (XD), and my father and I went to Flying Coaster. Third time I'm trying to get him to ride it, rofl. He was refusing throughout the way towards the roller coaster, with crap excuses like cowardice, but I still managed to get him on. How? Buying tickets before he can reply. That's a great way.
Ack, coffee's too fucking bitter. One more packet of sugar!!
Flying Coaster was SUUUUUUPEEEEEER! Haha! Man, I really oughta take a video of it while riding it. Why did it slipped my mind? X( Father was extremely scared during the ride, rofl, closing his eyes shut and grabbing onto the handles tight. Close eyes for what? I spend RM12 to let him enjoy the wind blowing at him ah? -_- Haha.
Sweet, coffee's sweet enough now. Two packets of sugar with one packet of nescafé instant coffee... *jots down*
Went for dinner next. Wanted to go to Pizza Hut, but there were way too many people queuing up for it. Ended up in McDonald's. Fucking chilli sauce. No taste initially, lulling me into a false sense of security, then minutes later suddenly exploded, so spicy my tongue kena numbed. Pervert. -_-
Jialat, one cup of coffee drink half finish already... X(
Went back to the shitty room. Father and I took our belongings over to the "good" room, leaving grandmother and mother in old room. :P Wow! The "good" room is good indeed! I never knew First World Hotel had such good rooms! XD I'll be attaching pictures...
A picture of the card key needed to enter the room.
The wristband that I must wear in order to enter the Outdoor Theme Park. Note the blue 'X', which menas that I have rid on the Flying Coaster with an one-time discount of RM2. ^_^
The door of the "good" room, lol. 23rd floor, room number 807.
Photo of the toilet, rofl.
A photo of the sofa (which we used to put our luggage on), the table and chair (from which I write blog entries on), and the TV. Let's zoom in on the table... :P
Let me do some labelling. :P
Left of the TV is a comfortable two-person sofa and a table with an ashtray and a box of matches on it.
A photo of my bed. XD Note the telephone on the table to the right, with magazines and a yellow page directory under it.
A photo of the fridge, hidden inside the cupboard under the TV. Only two bottles of mineral water, lol. Cheapskate. :P
A slot on the wall to put in the card key. Wasn't expecting that rooms in First World Hotel have this too, lol. The ones in Genting Hotel have another function, lol. Electricity will pass through only when the card is inserted, so people wouldn't leave the electricity on after leaving the room. I'm not sure if this one in First World Hotel does the same though. I took it out and there is no difference. However, also, the slot can only hold one card at a time, hence explaining what the other card is doing on the table. -_-
I don't suppose I need to take a photo of the bathtub? Haha. XD The outside scenery also cannot take. At night too dark, screen all black black...
And oh, the TV is showing a Cantonese (or at least I believe... Some Chinese dialect lah...) TV show now. The people singing the song, "我要你的爱，你为什么不留下来？" Reminds me of a good friend of mine during Primary 5 named Justin, lol. He changed the lyrics of that song to "我要你 lanjiao， 你为什么不砍下来？" XD
Okay, I'm going to sleep liao! *jumps onto bed* :) 12.13am now by the way, lol. :)
Wah, sian. Early in the morning kena woke up by my mother. -_-" Call so early just to ask for room number... what grandmother want to come... Aiya, sian. So cold and shiok to sleep yet didn't even manage to sleep for eight complete hours... zzz...
My mother is complaining that some game named 'bangla' is not fun to play... What the fuck? Who would name a casino game after banglas?
My father is exxagerating to my mother and grandmother on how scary the Flying Coaster is... Roflmao...
Now that we're all wasting time while waiting for the coach, which will bring us back to Singapore, to arrive, I figured that this time would be better spent blogging instead, so here goes!
Weather is crazy, mad and lunatic. Yersterday it's cold like fuck, now it's warm like fuck. Damn, this feels like being in an oven. Come, winds! Cool us down! ... *nothign happens* ...... Eh, never mind.
Man, too many Malay females running around covering their entire bodies, other than their eyes, with black cloth. What the fuck? Damn, I can't resist thinking of the word "ninja" whenever I see one of those freaks. Damn, no one's gonna be able to see any of them at night, dressed like that. Perfect assassins... *shudders*
Ok, now I'll start blogging about what happened today.
After coming into our room for a while, grandmother left at around 8:30am, said to take a walk around. Three of us stayed in the hotel room, with hardly anything to do. A long while later, we decided to leave for breakfast the moment grandmother returned to the room. The problem? Grandmother didn't return to our hotel room until 10am... -_-
Decided to take a bath while waiting to kill time, and also to try out the bathtub. :P Problem? I only brought one set of clothing... -_- So I just had to wear the same clothes again rofl.
Went to First World Cafe for breakfast. Four of us got in free, just because we got two rooms, lol... The variety's a joke. Nothing much to eat. :\ Just got myself four pieces of bread. Toaster no power one, and neither are the jams. What the heck, I felt like I was eating plain white bread. -_-
So damn sian. Nothing to eat, and I aren't even hungry in the first place. -_- Grandmother also not hungry, didn't eat much. So I decided, to save time, that I will bring grandmother to the Outdoor Theme Park. XD
So the two of us left, leaving my parents to finish their breakfasts. On the way to the Outdoor Theme Park, oh, shit! I realized that I left the ticket, which I bought yesterday and which I needed to enter the Outdoor Theme Park with without having to pay another cent, in the hotel room! X(
So I told my grandmother to wait for me in the lobby while I go back to the hotel room to get it. SORU!! Ran too fast, so I was explanatorily exhausted. Damn, my stamina seriously sucks... I need to work on it, lol...
At the hotel room, I drank two cups of water to make myself feel less tired, then grabbed the ticket adn rushed out. Opened the door to leave the exact moment my father opened it as well from outside to enter, rofl. He told me later that he returned from breakfast. I didn't say much then, didin't want grandmother to wait long, so I just rushed out.
Had to buy a ticket for grandmother so she can enter the Outdoor Theme Park. Freaking queue is sooooooooooooo loooooooooooooooong. Those Malaysians seriously lack efficiency...
Still need to show IC or passport to buy ticket for senior citizen, zzz. Was rushing panicky, lol. Didn't help much either when grandmother messed up and handed me MY passport instead of hers to show the female behind the counter. X(
Both of us got in the Outdoor Theme Park. To be honest, I used to think that after a long one year of not operating, the Rolling Thunder Mine Train would still not be operating. Man, I was so glad that I heard it going up the tracks noisily yersterday night while having McDonald's. Was even more glad to see it operating when grandmother and I checked. :D
Damn, the Rolling Thunder Mine Train is just my favorite. It's the very first roller coaster ever that I rid. I can still remember and recall it. It was my first ever trip to Genting then. There used to be a restaurant under the Rolling Thunder Mine Train, where my family and I were having lunch. I finished it very early (I forgot how, haha), so I sneaked off bravely to do some explorations. I found the roller coaster, thus even more bravely decided to ride it. I felt no fear at all, only fun and excitement from it. (Worthy to note that I cried on the Rodeo Rider, the three-storey and junior version of the Space Shot, during the same trip -_-) Of course, the adults were frantically looking for me, and just imagine their shock when they see eight-year old me on the roller coaster! XD
...Just how the fuck did the damned Rodeo Rider frightened me to tears when I didn't even shout in fear while riding the eighteen-storey Space Shot anyway...?
Of course, there's still always the dear memory of Dave and me riding it cheering with arms raised high up in it... XD Haha, what fun times we had.
Thus, explanatorily, I was sad when it closed down last year. Even sadder when it is still closed down six months ago. Even even more sadder when Mark told me that it is STILL closed when he visited it three months ago. Haha...
But that's all in the past now... The Rolling Thunder Mine Train has re-opened! Hip hip hooray!
Dragged grandmother to sit on it with me, right in the front row, rofl. Like my dad on the Flying Coaster, grandmother had her eyes closed throughout the entire ride, and worse, she's audibly chanting sutra to calm herself down... -_- Rofl... XD
After the ride, I went next door to visit the... *checks name* Sungai Rejang Flume Ride. Asshole name that no one will ever remember... -.-
Pi hour! Let's celebrate by reading out digits of pi! 3.1415926536... eh, that's all I bothered to remember... XD
Anyway, I'm on the coach now, waiting for it to depart. Saw a kid with a Nintendo DS playing Pokémon Pearl. Lucky guy, I haven't being able to buy Pokémon games ever since Gold and Silver came out. -_-
Anyway, since now, on board the coach, I have nothing to do, so I suppose I will continue my blog.
We went to the... whatchamomcallit Flume Ride, yeah. Was unable to convince grandmother to ride it with me, lol, because she rid it with Edmond's family last time, according to what she told me, and thus knows how scary (for her anyway XD) the ride is first-hand.
So no choice, I just had to ride it without her.
Coach has finally left, whee. My father, being a guai lan, went off and sat in front at an unoccupied seat, leaving me alone. -_- Anyway, blog continuing... when I felt like it. -_-
The below is made as an edit on 10:52am Wed 20 Jun 2007:
Okay, I feel like contiuing it now.
I left my jacket, with my digital camera inside, with grandmother, fearing that my digital camera would be spoilt if exposed to the water encountered on this ride, before running off to queue up. Didn't leave my handphone with her though, I believed that it would be safe inside my tight pockets.
Only two Chinese guys in front of me, around my age. Felt bored riding it alone, so I asked if I can joined them. They agreed lol. We waited a long time, and finally, three boats came, each of them very near to one another. We went into the first one. The two of them were asking me where I wanted to sit, but I, with no preferences, just answered, "Whatever. You guys sit first, I'll take the remaining seat." So they took the medium and last, and I jumped into the front one.
The boat was going very very extremely slowly. I suppose this is why those three were very near each other; the first one slowed down and the other two caught up. No matter, the three of us were astounding bored by the 'amazing' speed the boat was travelling, so guess what? We decided to switch from 'automatic' to 'manual'! XD
There were two metal 'fences' at each side of the trails, keeping the water in as well as preventing the ship from going off-course. The three of us grabbed the fences and pushed it backwards, so Newton's I-forgot-which Law will take place and the boat will move forward, lol. It worked, we had a surprising lead against the boat behind us. :)
And comes the first curve-thingy lah, don't know how to say, haha. It was just about three-storey, not that scary. While going up, I didn't even feel the need to grab the bars to prevent myself from slipping behind, lol. The gradient isn't that steep anyway. The guy behind is complaining that all of the water is flowing backwards to him. ^_^
And we reached the top point and skidded down. Just for fun, I was raising my arms up into the sky, lol. Just as we reached the bottom, I decided that staying dry is better than getting wet, so I quickly bent down my neck and raised my arms to form a shield, lol.
On the way to the second curve thingy, we continued pushing again, this time with more power (both hands instead of one), balance, teamwork and coordination ("You two pushed left, I pushed right, so in that way we won't all push same side and make the ship flip."). Ho seh boh? XD
A while later, the boat behind us crashed down the curve. Generated a huge water current that bring us forward by a bit, lol. I suppose this is how the water current can be in constant motion (well, let's not talk about the speed ^_^") without any generators, thus saving electricity...
On the way to the second ride, the two behind told me that they once got stuck at the top point of the curve thingy. Man, to get stuck there without going down in front or backwards, the boat must be parallel to the ground at the top of the curve, right? So if its position would be the gradient of the curve, and since it's parallel to the 'x-axis', its gradient would be 0, so to find the x-coordinate of the turning point of the curve, we find the equation of the graph, then differentiate it to dy/dx, which that would be equal to 0. Then that would find us the x-coordinate... Wait, what the fuck? Why am I blabbering mathematics? X(
Anyway, back to the getting stuck part. I was expecting that they got stuck for damn long, like half an hour or so. Then he told me he was only stuck for one minute. -_- Lol. I used to believe that the staircases beside the curve was used for maintenance purposes (for the repairmen to get up in case something is faulty), but they told me that it is actually meant for people getting stuck up there to climb down, lol! Not sure if what they said is true, though...
Had to grab onto the bar while going up the second one, lol. Gradient is just too steep. Exactly at the top, the guy behind told me that it is exactly here that they got stuck, lol. Then we slid down, whooohooooo. XD I did the exact same thing, raised my arms for fun and quickly shield myself when it reaches the bottom.
After the ride, all three of us are wet, lol. XD Luckily my handphone isn't. :3 The three of us separated and said bye, since it was the end of the ride. I think those two went to re-ride it, lol.
After that, we went towards the Corkscrew. Saw the Pirate Ship along the way. Asked if grandmother wanted to sit on it, but she didn't want, lol. Man, it isn't scary at all anyway. Haha. XD
Wanted to sit on the Corkscrew to take a video of it. Too many banglas in the queue, damn sian... And queue so long, unlike the first day. Zzz... Was playing blackjack on my handphone, lol. Then suddenly announce they closed for maintenance. Zzz... Maintain what shit... Lol. Everyone was booing and jeering, some even with thumbs-down, as all of them leave depressedly. Lol.
Then went down to Spinner. Figured I might as well ride it, since I didn't the day before. Dragged grandmother to ride it too, lol. She was persistent in refusing, but I was even more persistent. ^_^ She ended up riding it. I got dizzy after that and needed medicated oil. X( Haha.
Then we went back to the hotel.
Hanged out in the hotel room for a while, packing the luggage. After that, we checked-out the rooms and went to deposit our luggage at the lobby. Then nothing to do, so I dragged my father to the Fantasy World - Video Simulation Machines to play arcade. Put in RM12 for two games each of Time Crisis III, each of us continue once. But someone was playing it when we got there. Wanted to wait, but got impatient, and decided to play Initial D. Oh my god, the Initial D there sucks compared to the ones in Vision City, Genting Indoor Theme Park. Sucks like hell. Wasted RM6 on it. Basket, money suckers. Then we played Time Crisis III. Got owned quite early, haha. Then we left to look around.
Found some Kopitiam in First World Plaza. Then went to eat. Not bad lah, the food. Then went to look around. After that we left towards the place where the coaches assemble and wait for passengers, don't know what's the name of that place, haha.
Oh my god, what the fuck? First I see a Singaporean car with 13 for its plate number, now I see a Malaysian car with 13 for its plate number! Somewhere in this world, we have two very unlucky and stupid idiots... :)
With nothing to do, I was staring up at a plan up in the air, when the song Believe (second opening of One Piece) plays on my mp3. This makes me realize that Believe would be a great song to use when making a video about planes, lol. The tune just fits so much with flying, for some weird reason. Planes, huh...? *thinks of Battle of Britain*
Nothing much to do on the coach, lol, so I'm taking note of the plate numbers of vehicles that drove past, note the first three alphabets and try to think what three words they can stand for. Best so far is NBA: National Basketball Association. Rofl. :P
Just realized, from reading a signboard along the expressway, that there is a place in Malaysia named Tampin. -_- Obvious ripoff lmao.
Staring at the bushes in the middle of the road while listening to Zetsubou Billy. The bushes disappearing to the right (behind me) reminds me of the karaoke subtitles that Kuro-Hana Fansubs use for Zetsubou Billy... XD
Watching the reflection of the mirror (for the coach driver to detect cars behind) on the window jumping up and down (due to the coach travelling on the uneven surface of the road), while listening to Adventure World (18th ending of One Piece), and I was reminded of the karaoke subtitles ADC-Elite Fansubs use for Adventure World... XD
Finally...! A stop...!! TOILET!!! *kicks ground ten times in an instant* SORU!!!!! *dashes towards toilet*
Finally, man. Tolerated for four and a half hours. Fucking coach driver. That's a thumbs-down for coaches; driving cars for teh win!
And just be to be sarcastic about it, I'll thank the coach driver for training my tolerance. Now I can tolerate nature's calling longer and refuse to get my lazy ass off my computer chair longer. *rolls eyes&
Had dinner too. Fishball noodles. Soup was salty; damn nice.
Just got past the Malaysian checkpoint. No queue for teh win. :D
Just got past the Tuas checkpoint. Man, it's great to be back in Singapore.
Reached home at last. Thanks to uncle (Edmond's father) for fetching us and bringing us to our homes. ^_^ (Uncle's a taxi driver)
Was damn sleepy, lol, so my mind's all fuzzy and foggy. I ended up calling uncle 阿伯 (used to call my father's elder brother) instead of 叔叔 (used to call my father's younger brother). X( Ore wa bakayaro desu. X( (Translation: I'm a freaking idiot.)
