(photos will be up shortly)


271208 around 2140hrs, arrived @ West Mall.

No doubts she travel more frequent than me and having more & heavier luggages than this trip with me, that was all before we are together hence I have no excuse as to help her with the luggages. Furthermore, this trip we are going together therefore I will have to assist with the carrying of her luggage. She was not ready, so she drove over to West Mall and pick me up to her place 1st. We stayed there for about 20 mins in her room where she was doing her final check.
Set off to Golden Mile and we had a big pow & a can of Singha before the journey.

281208 around 0530hrs, arrived Genting Highland (First World Hotel)

The journey took about 6 to 7 hrs from SGP to Genting. When we first stepped down of the coach, we could feel the cold nice breeze & wind blowing right @ us. The feeling of reaching our destination safe and sound was great as we are mentally ready for our 1st holiday together.
We walked from the bus terminal to First World Hotel where we were going to stay. @ the lobby, the Q for just taking a Q number was quite long, as I am the (luggage boy), she was so sweet that she told me to find a seat first, put the luggage down and rest where she stand and Q for the Q number. Awww.. So sweet...

While she was @ the Q around 0537hrs, I was sitting @ the lobby running my eyes around the surrounding. Gosh, the place looks like a refuge camp. You can see people lying on the seat with a cloth covering over them and lying on the seat sleeping. few parent sitting on the chair hugging their younger ones while trying to get them to take a nap.

We managed to get a Q number. It was 7002. We can only check in @ 1400hrs later. Time now was abt 0615hrs. Since that's the case, we sat @ Starbucks, order a cappuccino and a banana chocolate muffin and share. We were chatting and I suggested that we try to catch the sun rise since both of us are rarely an early bird. She was spontaneous and agreed to the plan. We throw our luggage @ the luggage point and got a tag and we sort of ran towards the East direction as I had a compass on my watch.

The solid view that we were about to see @ the altitude of almost 6000 feet above sea level was an eye opener. we captured the 1st shot ard 0704hrs and had done some posing for the cam till around 0755hrs. (& as for the embarrassing things that happened in between this time, haha.. it's just our "little secret" and for the other couple in the car as well..)


After that, we decided to roam around the places, hotel to hotel, cafe to cafe and getting ourselves familiarise with the area and how the link from one hotel to another works. To kill more time, she suggested that we catch a movie. the cinema were @ the indoor theme park. We watched IP Man @ 1030hrs (chinese show) Know what? Ours was a special seat. OSIM massage chair!!! OMG... kanna massage for @ last 1 solid hour. Before that, we had our breakfast @ BK. Wow, the white coffee was nice! So was the breakfast.

@ around 1348hrs, we let our feet rest a while @ coffeebean cafe located @ Resort Hotel. The cloud were sort of surrounding us and we were enjoying the cold air blowing @ our faces.

Around 1400hrs, we walked downward towards First World Hotel where we were supposed to check in. When we reached there, our Q number overshot. It was say.. 7006 now. So we cut the Q and show the receptionist our Q number. She was kind enough to entertain us. Less than 5 mins, we got the room card. Yippee...!!!! Proceed to the luggage counter to collect our luggage back. Q up again.. haha... about 1/2 hr.

Finally took our luggages, card to the door of our room and head straight to the lift and proceed to level 6 where our room number was 6803. (Honestly, it dun looks like 6th level at all when I look out from the window in the room, it looks much more higher than that, anyway, not impt)

she started off by snapping pics of the room while I was preparing all our charging points for hand phones and cams.

We rested for about 15 mins, took our shower and continue resting. Ok... my fault, I forgotten what we ate. Maybe she will refresh me later.

291208 @ abt 1300hrs, woke up.
Plan of going to the outdoor and indoor theme park cancel as it will be a waste as half a day was gone already. So decided to roam the place officially. We had our brunch @ Old town cafe ard 1503hrs. We had Nasi Rendang, Nasi Lemak, half boil eggs and peanut butter toast and 2 original old town white coffee.



















We then KLKK again, basically enjoying the cold weather and the company of one another. (like mentioned on the earlier blog. hand in hand, walking in a cool weather, some muack muack..(keekee)

After that, we go and searched for a place where we can have the fresh cool air and drinking our wine in peace. Found some spots and KIV them.

Then it was about time for dinner. We wanted to try Lakeview Garden Restaurant, but when we look @ the menu, the price look ex. Hence we decided to go to the indoor theme park again where the food court, fast food, shopping, movies, rides etc were. We tried out the BKT. (Bak Ku Teh). Not bad especially having hot soup on a cold weather. It cost us RM$41 something which is about the same as lakeview if we were to order fried kway teow. However, no regrets cos our main objective is to have fun and fill our tummy...

I believed we did had our fair share of KFC too during this day but can't recall was it lunch or dinner or supper. Anyway, the KFC was nice too compared to the ones in SIN.

After the makan, we KLKK to make some room in our tummy before heading back to the room to rest a while before we proceed and head out to the open garden and consume our wine.




301208

We woke up @ 10am, plan is to conquer the theme park. We bought the in & outdoor whole day pass. When we went in, I was like "holy shit", look @ the number of people waiting for their rides.

We attempt to wait for some rides like the roller coaster and spaceshot (like giant oil drop in dreamworld auzzie) but, F*@#, so bloody long and slow... skip and go for another one. My mood turn for the bad, she senses it and tried to cheer me up ( I know she also hate to Q up and wait - correct me if I'm wrong)

We walk to another ride which is called mine train. When we reached there, the staff there just turn us away by saying this ride is currently temporary closed.

(You know, the number of rides they have against the number of customers is not balance lor... worst still quite a number of rides are closed... corkscrew, crazy space lab, now mine train etc...It's just trigger me off and I say out aloud "Why not closed the whole theme park if there are so many number of temporary closure of the rides) I guessed she was pissed off by my action.

From there on, both of us walks towards another ride where the conversation between us hit off to the minimum. I told myself, "oh shit!, I just pissed her off." we waited for about 35 mins b4 we can have our 1st ride of the day. "The Flying Dragon" which lasted a min.

We finally managed to catch a ride after spending an hour in the park. Three quarter through the ride, the jerky movement of the ride causes her to knock her elbow against the hard surface of the dragon seat we were in. That was where my video recording ends cos to me, she means more to me comparing to continue with the recording.

When we got off from that ride, I was glad she told me she just feel numb and pain but no fracture to the elbow.

That's where we decide to take a break. We walk around the park again, there she saw the carousel and say why not take this ride since there are no one in the Q. I say, ok as I do not want to have any other thrill rides that may cause more damage to her injured elbow. We sat on the horses that can go up & down, up and down and took some pics for her. Seeing her enjoying herself and no hurt can fall on her, I was happy too. After this ride, I suggested we go for snack and rest a while.

We proceed back to the indoor theme park and tried the Marybrown chicken.. (something like KFC) hmm.. their food are not bad too.

Time was about 1550hrs, she says wanna go OSIM again? haha.. massage movie leh.., so we bought tixs for a show call "The Spirit" which shows @ 1700hrs. Meantime, we proceed back to the room and rest. We went down again around 1630hrs, had few games of basketball then go watch this show. Honest view, I feel that this show is blah... She think so too... but it's ok cos just enjoying doing things together be it good or bad.

We walked back to the outdoor theme park again. there, we saw the flying coaster and it is not within the outdoor theme park compound. Therefore, this is not include in the park pass. We have to fork out another RM10. We put our stuffs into the safe box b4 we head for this ride...

Off we go, like super heroes, flying around in the sky @ super speed. It was fun... As she knows I like thrill ride, she asked if I wanna go again but to me, I dun mind but not necessary so I told her it's ok. I'm contented about the ride. We bought the photo from them which captured both of us in it.

It started to rain after that. We were glad that we managed to catch this ride before it rains.

We went back indoor and play baseball & basketball. Got the tickets and managed to redeem 1 small soft toy and a small pen with it.


After that, we were both sweating so we went for a shower, then open up the cuttlefish and proceed with wine #3. Martini Asli.

We drank the wine, took some pics then it's time to koon.


311208 (Last day @ Genting)

I woke up @ 10am, pack my things then wake her up to pack hers as we need to check out by 1200hrs. As I done my packing 1st, I left her in the room to continue packing while I go and confirm our booking of the coach back to Singapore. After confirming, I proceed back to the room again and help her with her luggage.

Oh ya, just remember this, the coach that we took back to Singapore, this one is much cooler than the one we took to Genting. It has a built-in TV console for games and video. We finished off 2 full shows throughout the journey back to Sin. 1st was Money not enough 2 and the other one was 1408

Money not enough 2
I would strongly recommend ppl to watch money not enough 2 especially the part where it comes to who is going to take care of the mom. Have they ever thought that when they were a baby, they shit & wet their pants, did the mother complaint or give up on them? NO! They still love the kid. Now that the mom is old and her urinal system is weak (equal to no control over them) The children start kicking the mother around. I think I should post a short statement on this in my facebook so that some people whom I know are like this and maybe this will be a wake up call to them... (Anyway, I shouldn't get too emotional on this. It is supposed to be a happy blog for this one) Ok, next show.

1408
Wahh!!! This show powerful lor... Able to make her scream quite a number of times.. Fortunately I think the rest of the passengers are having their headphone on too.. I hope.. Otherwise, they would think what's happening behind the coach.

It was a very thrilling show. As each seat can play same or different shows, depending on the user, she was able to sync both mine and her seat show and make it as if our show are link up.

Halfway through, the coach stop for dinner break. She says the show finishing liao so wait a while. While the rest already out of the bus and it left only two of us on board. After 5 mins, we decided to come down for dinner as it was quite a long while before the show finishes.

While we were @ the door of the coach, it was "SHIT" the door was shut and we didn't know what is the bus driver number. Looks likes both of us are stranded in the coach without aircon.
We were able to reach panic mode where I just try my luck on those button display on the dashboard... Wheee.. Luck was with me, the 1st button that I pressed, it was the right one, the door open, we step down and I try to look for another button outside the coach to close the door but bor leh... So, as I noticed that the reaction of the door opening earlier was pretty slow, I decided to go back on board, press door close and rushed down. I MADE IT!!! Both of us are down and the door of the coach was close. @ that time, I was so proud of myself... ;)

Then we went to the canteen, order a kopi, follow by Ramli burger and share our meals. After that, all of us board the bus again and we were on the way back to Sin. We were discussing how we can go over to my Sue's place to do the countdown. Bye Bye 2008 and Hello 2009.

When we reached Boon Lay side, it was abt 2245hrs already. As there was no available taxi around, she call for cab. We headed over to her place when she took a quick shower while I wait for her in her room.
After that, It was already about 2330 hrs. We were about to leave her place, her mummy came out and asked Viv to drive her car over, which initially I was thinking, we take a cab to my sis place then after that I will drive her home, but since mommy already open up her mouth and suggest, accept lor as it was her kind and nice gesture of offering her car. (Why I dun want Viv to drive was I think she is tired and therefore prefer that I drive her back after that.)

When We reached Sue's place, it was already 0005hrs (1st Jan 2009), When we went in, they already fired all the poppers and sprays. There was a huge crowds there. This is the 1st time Viv meet all my sibling @ one go. From Ron except Juslyn as she was working (Sharmin & Cheria), Sue & Mike (Vernon, Shaun and Alexis) and Doris & Francis (Mavis - not there, working, Louis & Janis). Mom was not there as she went to play Mahjong.

Oh my dear niece Sharmin, I guess she was already high at that time, so Sharmin chatted with Viv, telling her that Mavis was mentioning to her (Sharmin) how cool she was (Viv) Could it be because of that she is so excited to see Viv? Oh well, I'm glad too as my niece likes her as much as I love her.

As it was as usual Popiah party, we have to roll our own popiah, so Viv and I started rolling it, eating and enjoying the wine as well as the company. Viv commented that the popiah is nice. Nicer than the one we had in the palace of some princess.. haaha ;)

About 0145hrs, we decided to make a move as I do not want to hold her back for too long. As my luggage is still in her car, she drove me to my house downstair which is 3 mins walk away from my Sue's place. Then I took out my luggage, kiss good nite and askher to sms me when she got back home. The carpark was full so I pointed to her to reverse into the NO PARKING zone so she can do a three point turn. To my surprise, she just zoom all the way in reverse gear to the exit. I was shocked!! Anyway, I am glad that she reached home safe & sound.

There might be few things that I may have left out here be it deliberately, accidental or forgotten...haha.. do remind me if any.. lol


Oh yeah.. dun mess with her...BASKETBALL (due to the profession confidential issue, you can only see the pro in action from side and back view only)


We went to the Funtasy world (Arcade games) where we challenged one another on basketball

Dun play play wor... She was a basketball player during secondary school time...Lucky for me and she gave chances and let me win her.



Overall, It was a 98% fantastic trip we had. I long for more like this with her again soon... the other 2% was screw up by me which she did told me not to be hard on myself. I will dear. I will..Therefore, the 2% was caused by ......anything lah.. The more impt one is the 98% compare to the silly 2%.

Thanks dear for being so forgiving and sharing this fantastic, wonderful, memorable trip with me...Ya, thanks for agreeing to come over to my sis place to do the count down.

Love you!!!
