Hey everyone! Im here to post again.

Im having some problems with upoloading pictures recently. =/ Because everytime when i click to upload pictures, the error page came out. In the end, i have upload the pictures one by one.

Anywae, lots of things happened during the past 1 month! School had been busy as usual and the highlights for last month was the family trip to Genting Highlands, from 15/06(Sun)-17/06(Tue) and Stayover in Heart of God Church, 11th-12th of June. It was really damn fun la! haha!!

OKay! i shall first start with the trip to Genting!


On the 15/06:

Early in the morning at about 5 am, my whole family was awake and was preparing to set off! As you know, if you were to caoch up to the Highlands, you gotto report and board the bus by 630 am. Then with some delays here and there, the bus will only leave at 7am. It was abit troublesome that day because we had to take a their bus to somewhere near queensway and
change another coach that will bring us to out destination. And guess wat, the first bus was short of one seat and my bro end up sitting on the floor of the bus. Luckily there is this lady who bought one extra seat

Ya! After that we got off and change to another 26-seater bus. Much more comfortable with the bigger and adjustable seats. BUT! there were problems here and there la!

For example the seats of the bus, there should be a handle for you to adjust the cushion board which is used for resting the lower part of ur legs. Then for some of the seats, the handle had broken off or something and the cushion board will just stuck halfway in the air. Here is a piicture of how it will look if you were to sit on the spoilt chair:


As you can see, the cushion board which should support the smaller thighs of your legs end up supporting the thigh instead, and make it in a way that the person had to sit all the way out so as to rest his legs in a uncomfortable manner. Imagine sitting like that for 7 hours. Luckily there were extra seats!

Anyway, the chair im sitting on is still alright , that issue did not really bother me much. LOL!

I alway like the long bus journeys because you can like just sit back, listen to some songs, relax and enjoy the sceneries outside. Comfortable can!

At the start, they gave us this goodie bag with some brochures, a packet of Singaporean flavour curry noodles, a bun, etc. I was so hungry that i ate up the bun.
The whole journey was about 6 hrs plus with all the stoppings here and there for lunch and toilet breaks. And i tell you, the part when the coach is going up the slopes to Genting Highlands was my worse ever. We can hear the the sound of the engine keep on accelerating but the bus was just moving in such a slow and unsteady speed, that make it feel like the engine might just die off anytime! And during the trip up the hill, about 5-6 Coaches which were initially behind us actually overtake us! Then you can see all the aunties popping their head to the bus driver and asking things like.

"Eh! what happen ar?!"
''Later the bus break down, how?!"
"Wah! How come the bus like that one?!''
''When we go home will like that again anot ar?!!"

But in the end, we managed to reach the top in 2 hrs time. Double of the amount of time needed normally, i guess!! Never again!


This is how the interior of the bus actually look like. It looks fine on the photo, but its not! So we checked in the hotel (First World Hotel is damn BUDGET!)in at about 4 plus, wash up abit and went down for dinner! We ate at the food court at the 3rd level and although it looks clean, the food taste wierd(at least for the things i ordered). My family said that it was so-so, and i thought its definitely incomparable to that of Singapore! Thats for sure man!=D

After that, we went to shop abit at the First World Plaza, which is at the first few levels of the hotel building. There weren't much difference in the shops as to what i remembered last seeing them as.
My cousins, my brother and i had decided to go to the Outdoor Theme Park the next day and we were so excited about that. Even before the trip, bk cousin and i were discussing about how exciting and thrilling it will be with our cg la! haha..

On the 16/06:

The next day, i woke up at about 9 to get ready and had a early breakfast to prevent myself from vomiting everything out during the Outdoor Rides. The four of us prepared and went out at around 11 plus. In the end, THE OUTDOOR THEME PARK WAS CLOSED!!! ARRRRGGGGGHHHHHHH!! due to the rain!

We were so dissappointed and demoralised lo! This is my 3rd time in Genting and my first time going to the outdoor theme and this kind of things happened. Gonna be a wasted trip!. Bk cousin and i decided to explore the ouside of the hotel. We went around and took a couple of photos


On the way, i thought that we can actually go to the Theme Park and make it on time to board the bus at 2pm, if we were to wake up super early the next day.

That night, we went for a fabulous dinner buffet at the restaurant Coffee Terrace and paid only RM 56 each! It is something like Sakura International Buffet but of higher standards, definitely. The ambience there was pretty good also!


As i could remember, they offer 5 different types of cuisine, namely the Western, Japanese, Asian Chinese, Nyonya and Muslim.

I like the sashimi frm the Japanese Cuisine best!! Every slice of salmon has got balanced layers of flesh and fats with a shiny and smooth texture. The slices were so tender and firm that when you put it in your mouth, it literatelly melts in it and the taste of freshness is just so wonderful!! I requested for 2 servings and it made my day!. Fresh salmon lovers will confirm like one man! With all the deserts and fruits, we really ate until very very full! We went to bed early on that night.



\/my bro and cousin insist that i take a cool photo of them drinking-_-/\


Actually im suppose to conference with a few of my classmates on msn for updates on the lessons i have missed, but was too tired la! Sry guys!

On the 17/06:

That day, i woke up at 7.00am and started packing everything and to get ready. I set 3 alarms on my phone and another one on my lappy the night before to ensure that we will wake up on time for the Outdoor Theme Park! I was really determined to go. Everything went according to plan and i managed to play every ride i wanted to, for my first time there! [eg. skydrop, the superman rollercoaster, all the roller coasters except the wet one, the go-kart(Sg Escape is mch better. only for this), etc. YEAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!

We also went up to the Dinosaur park where we need to climb a flight of stairs. We also took pictures up there!

US!!






After that, we went back to the hotel to check out and and manage to leave according to the schedule. I was abit late by 5 mins as i rushed back to the plaza to get something!!

Okay! i have come to the end of my trip to Genting Highlands. i will end with 2 of my favoirite pictures taken during the trip!=D



P/S- I shall update on my stayover in church again.=D
