Short Trip to Genting Highlands!

by Sheryn - 01:22

Hello world! So I just came back last night (Tuesday) from one of the most fun trip I've been to since 2005. Haha. I've always loved theme parks and especially those that have super thrilling rides. So yup, besides Sunway Lagoon in KL, another nice theme park we have in Malaysia is Genting Highlands somewhere Pahang. You can find out more about this place from the link. See I'm being so nice for sharing haha! Okay, I was super excited for this trip cuz I really needed to just forget the world (my world) a bit. So yea, took a 6-hour bus ride from Penang at 8:20AM and reached Genting at 2PM. Checked in to First World Hotel to find out that the room is quite big. I expected it to be very very very small.. So yea, went for the indoor theme park which costs RM 32. We played 2 types of roller coasters, Bumper car (which was so so so much fun), watched a 4D movie (The Haunted Mine) and sat on the Reindeer ride (probably10km/h). We repeatedly sat on the roller coasters and bumper cars to make every cent of 32 bucks worth! Haha Yes, the indoor theme park was supposed to be like a warm up session for the next day! Okay enough of me talking, I'll show you some pics!

So this is how half of my room looks like.. Really, not bad at all for the price. (RM78/night)

In time to snap 2 selfies before going to the Indoor themepark. :D

Went over to the other room... Look what's going on! Somebody's excited!

Sorry for the blur shot; roller coaster started moving already ahhh!! Excited!

A girl being a girl... Snap snap snap even when the roller coaster was already moving! HAHA nothing can stop meeee!!

Yay to the third/fourth ride!!

See, nothing can stop us from taking pictures! Hahaha

Inside the 4D cinema watching The Haunted Mine. So lame the show.

And here are our Bumper Car pictures! I really enjoy playing this so much more compared to when I was younger. Maybe because it's fun to knock people like crazy without getting into trouble. :D

Yay to my super excited face -.-

The rest of us:

After dinner at Burger King:

Eeek!

One of us wanted to go to the casino but I didn't want to and also another was underage haha. So never mind, we take picture of the casino.. :)

When we were back in the room, so tired d, cannot snap our faces so we snapped our wrists instead! HAHA

Okay so after this, we bathed and everything, it was still very early, like maybe 9-ish? So we went to the other room to play cards instead of going out again. We played, laughed and everything till about 11++ and went back to our own room. My roomie slept earlier cuz I just couldn't.. Then few minutes after I fell asleep at maybe 12-ish. Here comes my creepy dream... I dreamed that there were ghosts like appearing right in front of me. I was sooooo scared I woke up. Thinking it was already 6AM, and I had a horrible headache. So I took aspirins and checked the time, it was ONLY 3AM!! GOD HELLLLLP!! I was still very much in fear. But I prayed and prayed like mad and finally felt peaceful again so I went back to sleep. UGHHH! Stupid nightmares! My advice to people staying over in hotels is to pray before you enter the room or before you sleep. THIS IS GOOD ADVICE okay! Okay we woke up at around 7++, got ready, all set and packed up. Outdoor theme park, here we come!

Please excuse my dunno what nonsense face! Haha not enough sleep!

Had breakfast and paid RM 7 for this milk tea served in a Styrofoam cup! ISH.

After breakfast, I met an auntie. She wanted to sell us cheaper tix for the theme park. So why not? We bought the tix at cheaper price cuz she's a tour guide. :D

So here we are at the outdoor theme park. Had sooooo much fun!!!

Yay!! For a sec, it didn't feel like Malaysia!!

We actually took a lot of rides but couldn't take picture cuz I didn't bring my phone and also was too engrossed with the thrill... Not to mention DIZZINESS!!! :/ So after playing like maybe 10 rides or so, we got super tired! And HUNGRY! So we decided to have lunch and after that we needed to head to the bus station by 4PM. It was 2:30 when we left the park. Went for a eat-all-you-can steamboat and bbq at a price of RM 35 each in Hot Pot.. Very very cheap place to eat in Genting. :D

Here are a few photos of the food. Too hungry to snap more already!!

After lunch, we say bye bye to Genting!! The bus was surprisingly very comfy, clean, pretty but the driver drove a little bit too fast! >:( Got so worried the whole time!

Goodbye, Genting Highlands.... We had a great time!! See you soon!

So we came to find out that this place will be closed for TWO years for refurbishment and upgrading works starting September 2013. So thankful that we went before they are closed. :) See you soon, Genting!!!

-The End-
