Adventure in the Clouds!

PMR's over and done with. Books and pens are a thing of the not-so-distant past. Some of us have forgotten how to write. What do you do when you're in such a predicament? *Ahem*

YOU GO TO GENTING WITH YOUR BUDDIES!

The first 417 (almost) vacation!

After some confusion about the bus departure, we eventually reached Genting at about 2, checked in, and went to First World Plaza to HYPER! The highlight was the Haunted House, which wasn't really haunted nor scary. I just screamed for the fun of it. Really. No, seriously. Hehe.
After much walking around and arcading, we went to the hotel and picked up Kong. Then we went for dinner at HAPPY VALLEY! Haha what a name, considering it was at the peak of a mountain. Though we were pretty happy. Many thanks to SanYap/Syap/Yaspan/ShiningMoon for the 30% discount voucher thingy.

After dinner, we went back to the hotel to gamble. I won 4 bucks! Though I've yet to collect my winnings, I doubt I ever will. Then, after bathing, we went to the cinema, at 11.15 pm, to watch "The Coffin". I didn't even have a say in the movie choice! When I was informed they bought a ticket for me, I was like, what the hell?

Haha, but honestly it wasn't that scary at all! Heck, Ivan and Stan fell asleep! Though some PEOPLE *ahemJenandXyang* were scared shitless. It didn't really matter that it was 1 something when the movie ended, since most of us were still super hyper. But I, due to the little sleep I got the night before, talking to her, was EXTREMELY exhausted. Sanyap and Derrick too.

So we broke off from the group and headed back to the hotel for some shut-eye. And Kong mysteriously went off somewhere to "walk walk". HEHE! Wonder what he meant by that.
After about an hour, the rest of the guys came back from their "Candyland", and wreaked havoc in the hotel room. But I was just too damn tired to join in. So after a while, Sanyap and I left the room and went to sleep with Kong. ON A DIFFERENT BED, of course. Ah, utter silence and bliss from the next hotel room where don't know what was going on.

The next day, we all woke up like zombies, and had little energy. Sanyap and I had about 3 hours of sleep, while the others had about 1. Haha even so, I too was a zombie. But when we're all together it doesn't take long for us to return to hyper-ness. Thus, we ventured to the theme park! After having MarryBrown's for breakfast, which was surprisingly pretty scrumptious, we bought our tickets and went loose.

We went on the Swinger, the Go-Karts, the Flying Coaster and others, but for me the best was the Space Shot. Being a chicken in the past, I'd never ridden on it before. But heck, I've conquered that fear =P

As you would imagine, being hyper for long periods of time can lead to extreme fatigue, and while waiting for the Bumper Boats, many fell asleep or at least tried to, me included. I mean what kind of ride has a line an hour and 15 mins long?! But it was pretty worth it. =P We spent half the time in the boats bullying the sole non-417 person on the lake, a little 7/8 year old boy =D Haha we were freaking evil.

After having lunch, at MarryBrown's yet again, some left us, opting to go home and get some much needed rest. Xyang, Stan, Ivan, Weijun, and I opted to stay behind and play some more, while Derrick, who was sick, stayed in the hotel.
After playing 'til about 6.23 pm, we left for the hotel to get our luggage and walked the long, ardous journey to the cable car station. By then I was pretty tired, and no one really talked much. After realizing the cable car and bus tickets were lost, we bought new ones and headed down the hill. Xyang and I then left for dinner with the family at our usual Gohtong Jaya haunt.

And that concluded our 417 Genting Trip! Reading about fun experiences can be pretty bland, so for the first time in this blog's history, it's going to have PICTURES!

Enjoy the feast for your eyes. =D
