Our very first trip

As our pre-scheduled diving trip was cancelled, Law and i decided to go Genting instead. It was a last min decision and luckily we still managed to book the coach and hotel room. Ironically, this is our very first trip oversea together, alone. After 2 and a half yrs together, this is our very first..haha.

We took grassland coach and its good! Its very spacious and the seat could almost be lowered to a lie-down position. Something like those first class seats in an airplane, except that there isnt any pretty stewardess to take orders..lol The ride took us 7 and a half hrs, reaching genting at 3pm.

My personal steward...lol..

Note, that is his own finger (acting cute), i am holding the camera..lol

After my previous horrible experience at First World Hotel, i was a bit reluctant when ah dear says that he is gg to book First World. But as we are on a budget, so i agreed. We are staying at Tower two this time round and the room is very much better than the one i stayed in a few yrs ago. The walls are not yellowish and the ceiling fan doesnt not seems like its going to fall and cut us to pieces...

Even the toilet comes as a whole. The last time we were at First World Hotel, the bathing area and the peeping area is separated into 2 cubic and there is practically no where to hang my clothes when bathing.

The only complain i had about the room is that there is a smell...oh well..i think i can still stand that.

The traditional practice of gg to genting is to go eat the BaKuTeh for the first meal. Imagine you are so cold and hungry, so the best thing is a bowl of hot soup!

Attack!!!

For the 3 days we were there, it has been raining on and off and its very cold! About 14~15 degree on average. Everywhere is very misty.

Went watch Flood at the cinema at night. We went for the Osim massage chair seat which cost RM15 each (abt S$7.50) and we have 2 hrs of massage! Quite a good deal. Even if you dun wan to massage, you can still lower the chair to a lie down position and enjoy the movie, a bit like Singapore's GV gold class? Hee.. The show was quite ok, except that there was these malaysian teenagers which kept talking in the cinema. They were sitting behind me and i dun understand why the ppl beside them can stand them! Is it a norm in Malaysia cinema for pp to talk. At one pt of time, the girl was on the phone and was telling the other party that she is at Genting. Think that person cant hear and she repeated that a few times, getting louder and louder!! Faint...

One thing good abt gg free and easy, you can wake up anytime you wan and not rushing for the hr. Woke up just in time for breakfast at McDonald.

Both of us caught the flu bug and Law was feeling very sick.

Haa..look at his face

Even though he is feeling sick, he still accompany me to have a little walk

After that he simply "cheng bu xia qu le", so we went back to the hotel room for a lie down. While he is sleeping, i went shopping alone and bought some stuffs :P

My purchases...not much actually

After his sleep, ah dear felt better, thus we went to the Theme Park (that was actually 4pm+ in the afternoon le)! :D

We went on the Swing

On the pirate ship

Corkscrew roller coaster

Ferris Wheel

Can see how misty it is. Visbility quite bad and its damn cold!!

Cooooolldddddd!!

Bbbbrrrrrr.....

We sort of skipped lunch for the past 2 days, and dinner was just a simple affair at the hotel foodcourt :P

After which we headed to the casino to try our luck. We played "Da Xiao. At first we were very lucky. Whatever we buy, we win....but then i think our beginner's luck didnt last long and we lost abt RM120 in the end...hai...

We over-slept on sunday morning and woke up at 10+. Checkout is at 12noon, so we decided to washh up, packed and checked out straight away. We deposited our bags at the hotel lobby so that we dun need to carry them ard.

At 23rd floor, this is all we can see when we look out of the window. Its like we are floating in the clouds...quite errie thou...

After skipping lunch for the past 2 days, we decided to treat ourselve to a better meal before leaving, thus we went to Sushi King at Highland hotel.

So hungry

Ah dear's food

Mine

As ah dear is sick, he didnt managed to finish his food..thats quite rare thou :P After lunch, we went to the casino for walk walk and see see then its time to go home le.


While waiting for the bus

Sad that its time to go home. Happy times always dun last..hai..

Virgo Cruise - 22nd - 24th Feb

For those who know me well, they would know that i used to go on cruise about 4-5 times each year. My parents are not that rich lah, just that they are card members, thus can book the cruise using points instead of paying hard cash. But since i started job with KPMG, that rate has dropped to once a yr. The last time i went on Virgo was with my family and Law and that was in year 2006! So i have break my record for skipping a yr (2007) ..haha .. Actually there wasnt much things you can do on board. The main activity is to EAT and SLEEP!!! Serious! And of cos for those who gamble, there is the casino.

This time round, Trishelle went with us too. Its her first trip on virgo and she was so excited and hyper throughout the 3 days! Sad to saty, Law got to work, so he didnt join us.

Looking at so much food, how not to get fat! lol...but of cos these food are free on board.

Other than eating, we also went around taking pics and even brought Trishelle to a mini carnival and swimming on sat.

Trishelle took a liking to me! Hee..

Waiting in queue for a game at the mini carnival

My granny told me that on her last trip to virgo, she took a pic of a ship that was across the whole side of the wall. It took us quite a while to look for this pic, as there are altogether 3 stairways on each level and there is about 8 levels with such a wall. But nonetheless, we managed to find it :D

At the children's pool

After the swim , Trishelle with a satisfied smile :)

Actually at the carnival, we have played and earned enough points to exchange for a small gift and in the end we got a mini bear handphone accessory. this of cos goes to Trishelle. The carnival was in the morning. Andf by noon time, at lunch, one of the poor bear's arm got rip off..haha by her owner of cos

By the end of lunch, this is the state the bear is in....

Hahaha....ahem...abit voilent, but then Trishelle is only a baby afterall :P
