first step in Genting Highlands..

after....17 plus years of life..i've finally set foot in genting highlands for the very first time..shocking isn't it? everyone finds it surprising when i said i have not been to genting..not even once..maybe because my parents felt it's too expensive to go especially when we were young..hmm..so where shall i start?

WARNING : this is gonna be a....L....O.....N.....G.....LONG post...since it's my first time so got to jot down almost everything i can remember..it may be something u've seen lots of times but not for me..hehe
(click on the pictures for larger and clearer view)

the trip was great..fun..i went with my church friends, ben, edmund, chee foo and sue jane..how i love self organised trips despite how much i have to spend on my own but if only more friends could make it then it would be even more of a blast..so five of us went to kl on wednesday night by bus..reached there at about 11 something looking for the ktm station..lost one led the way..kinda lost but still we finally found our way..we waited for the train till past midnight only arrived..gosh..for the first time standing there during the midnight..lol..then we headed to caryn's place..nice place though..picture?kinda have it but nevermind, not posting it here..hehe

thursday morning, forcefully woke up early and got ready to leave..went to 1utama new wing by taxi and then went to genting by bus..so many people going to genting..can say 1 of the main tourists attraction in malaysia?yet it's only my first time..lol..then we went up to genting by skyway..nice..hehe

and so we reached genting...nice cool weather..

after hanging around for a while..we left our bags in the hotel lobby where they kept bags since our check in time was at 3pm..then we went for breakfast at burger king and to the theme park...wheee...!!no pictures cause i left my camera in the bag cause i was worried the camera would fly out in the middle of some rides.. ok, i remember the first few rides we took..

first the pirate ship cause we wanted something slow first as a warm up and since it was just after our meal..lol..then we went for corkscrew the roller coaster..and the excitement goes up higher to solero shot..solero shot was FUN!!scary but really syok..hehe..feels as though my heart and voicebox were left way up above..lol..but we waited in the line for almost an hour..

found a video someone recorded on the solero shot..quite funny..



he actually had guts to hold his camera..lol..

then it was time for something slow again so we went to dinosaur land..long queue as well but it's ok since it started raining and we were queueing under the shelter..not bad..but too bad, didn't snap any pictures..my dumbness for leaving my camera..i had pockets safe enough for it afterall..we went for more rides later till we had to check in..

back to the hotel lobby..get our bags and realised it's long before our turn to check in..about 200 over customers away i think..so we went food hunting in mc donalds this time..then hang around and time to check in again..
