Genting Highlands 07

A lot of things happened in the course of last week. I went to pacific (the mall) twice in a space of 4 days for bowling + the pirate movie, got my wallet rm150 lighter for my phone repair and the brits have a new pm whose name is brown. and never forget the brazilians got humbled against the unfancied mexicans in their copa america opener.


go argentina! hell yes!


So, along with the stuffs i just mentioned above, i went to genting highlands last week which was part of my dad's farewell trip. Yes, my dad was about to retire one week after the trip which wooheedoodeedoo, is today! More about him later.


Back to the cameron highlands thing, my parents and i as planned (and as expected) were on the road to kl to visit tot and moleh, or my sis and bro respectively. Been to their house and after spotchecking their fridge, feeling a bit outdated and curious i grabbed a "Mini Poppers". which taste good. So i grabbed another one. and seems that im starting to love the stuff. how long has it been in the market?



I need one now...


So, we picked up my sis (my bro had work) and dashed off to genting highlands early in the morning. very early in fact. imagine waking up at 5am. yes. THAT early.


and as expected, we arrived early.




wayyy too early...

earlier than some workers... oh look, one people on elevator!
ok now, the shop is open...



in case you might wonder what we were doing that morning, we were actually waiting for my dad's office mates + their family who happened to come an hour later after the shop in the picture up here opened. you got me, i hate waiting.






so here is tot + aboh's office gang. and if you look carefully, you can see my mom pointing at something in my direction. i wonder what she was pointing at.

mom + dad + untie ruby (in orange)

so we gathered there for like 10 minutes or so and up we went to the cable car!!! and if my memory serves me correctly, i havent been into one of those since the last time i came here, which was a decade ago perhaps?

from inside the cable car.




mom + untie ruby... so who is untie ruby anyway? the story so far; mom and untie ruby were officemates during their early days, until my mom decided to retire early.


i wonder what happens if i swing the gondola xD


after a few minutes in the cable car we then arrived at the peak.


whoaaa

ok now, i let the pictures do the talking, kinda lazy to think.



dad and his cable car...
i have mine as well xP

our stay in genting highlands. and it is called the "first world hotel".

so we arrived there around 11am and after checking in at the hotel, its time to play. oh, before we get to play, we have to get our wrists tagged.



an unnecessary reminder, i know. im old.

playland.

ok, i like this pix a lot. if i am to remember anything about genting highlands, apart from the casino, this is definitely one of em.

welcome to malaysia, we have ghosts for you to visit.

i had been waiting long for this...


before the first 3d show.



this pix is cool, i must definitely get one for myself.



... and so i did.



Right, not much talking. The last 2 pix was taken from the last day. it was a 2-day stay at genting.

2 days... kinda remind me of the kelantan trip...
