Highland Holiday

Genting on a holiday is possibly the worst place to be if you're claustrophobic. Or people-phobic. Um.. yeah.

Mum, Dave, my 2 cousins and I went up to Genting for... fun. Naturally, the Theme Park Hotel was fully booked. So we opted for First World.

Anyone who's been there knows how large the First World Hotel lobby is. And let me tell you, it was practically impossible to walk anywhere without bumping into another human being (or a pillar, if you're unlucky). And everywhere you turned, there were people sitting on the floor surrounded by bags. Two words : REFUGEE CAMP!!! Honest, that's what it looked like.

The amount of intelligized primates walking around put us off going to the theme park so we went up to First World instead... And bumped into guys in ugly masks promoting the Haunted Adventure. They were trying to be scary but to be honest, it's hard to get scared when the ghost is dancing to Punjabi MC.

But my youngest cousin (she's 14... lol) was scared, so only 3 of us went up. Haunted adventure? More like laughable. The only thing that was scary was the thought that the loud clapping noise would kill our ear drums. Blah.

But the Ripley's Believe It Or Not exhibition was something else. Cool stories on people who survived horrific accidents, guys with horns and extra pupils, the world's fattest guy, medieval torture equipment... Wow. We spent an hour going through the whole thing. Fascinating!

At 8 p.m. we finally decided to check out the theme park. Only managed to try 3 rides coz it was so misty we couldn't see more than a few feet in front of us. Sigh. Wasted.

One thing I've learned : For some reason, guys in Genting are a hundred times bolder than those in KL. They'd chat you up if you give 'em half the chance. Freaky!

We still enjoyed ourselves, though. It was like we were on laughing gas the whole time. Well, blame it on David. Who wouldn't laugh when a Form 4 SCIENCE student calls the pupil "kanta mata"? Oh.. ROFLMAO!!!

'Kay, nuff now. Buhbye for another few days.
