Go Genting !!


The day was awesome but in some ways confusing [to be explained later on]. Everything went smoothly according to plan, which I should give credits to my sister, Along for being such a wise conscience that I needed in planning this day.

There were 8 people altogether, me being the eldest, my other sister Aisyah, my bro Faris, and cousins: Dhuha, Hajar, Epi, Tasneem, Hannan. In the photo, from left, it would be: Hannan, Tas, Hajar, Aisyah, Doo, Me, Faris, & Epi.

I'd love to bore you with the detailed version of this report but unless you're a family member, I doubt you'd be in the least bit interested. So here's the exceptionally brief & pictorial version. [The timeline isn't 100% accurate, they're all -ish2, if you know what I mean]

0730 - met up at UKM KTM Station to head to KL Sentral Station. It was
too
early for some of us (the school boys). But never for us girls!










0830 - reached KL Sentral. Bought food supplies and the 'Go Genting Package' tickets.

'Go Genting Package'
The tickets costs RM47 since we went on a public holiday. They cost RM42 on normal days.
It includes the 2-way bus & skyway tickets, and the Genting All Park Theme Park Day Ride Pass.




0900 - Our bus was at 1045, so we had to...'lepak' until it was time.
Waiting + annoyed = Dunkin Donuts.











1045 - Bus ride to Genting Highlands.
It took an hour so, Ipod ON!

















1200 - Made our way to the Genting Skyway cable cars.

What a crowd!

It was like playing 'Snakes' with a room full of strangers.


1230 - Skyway ride! A 15 minutes preview of what was to come.
We had our lunch throughout the ride.








1245 - Independently directed ourselves to the Outdoor Park. Successfully avoided the '1st Timers' syndrome. We nearly got lost, but not completely.











1300 - Got in! YEAAH! Finally!












6 hour journey to have fun, unbelievable. But it was worth a ride for the experience. Or should I say rides. Here are some of which we had the opportunity to venture upon.

The confusing things:
1. The weather - Sometimes it was like the sun was trying to kill us and then later the fog was trying to freeze us. I blame global warming.

2. Mood swings - Sometimes we were having the time of our lives on the rides then later we find ourselves bored to death waiting in line, loathing the others around us: the smoking couple, the gay Indians, the orange couple (touchy2), the very skinny guy in a very tight white trousers and his friends & girlfriends.

3. The lines were tremendously long when we were waiting. But after we had our ride and got off, the lines were half shorter.




























1 ride for every hour. Waiting in line took up 95% of each hour. Time flies when you're having fun...so our fun was incredibly short compared to everything else. But every ride was worth the experience. Especially the Space Shot, it was the closest we could ever get to suicide via jumping off a building. Free fall rocks!! Sky-diving is on my list.

We ended the day with a waffle treat and made our way back to the front gate to exit. Then we saw that the Spinner near the gate was lacking passengers. And so, what the hell! That's why I ticked the Spinner twice.

1945 - 2300
Our journey home. No pictures were taken because we were dead tired and had to rush a bit. But syukur alhamdulillah! Everything went smoothly. Got to our 2030 bus to KL Sentral just in time. We did our prayers at KL Sentral, bought some food for dinner, and darted home.

If only someone could invent a gadget for recording feelings. I wouldn't want to forget the thrills I felt that day. They made me feel alive, man. YEEAAH!!

Okay cuzs, here's the challenge: Whoever can keep the Genting wristband on the longest, wins.
Dateline: Family day on 31st May. The boys are already out. Skolah punya pasal..hehe..
