[ 441. Back from Genting ]
The day before the trip, zhichao came to spend the night at my place. I mean, he was like half an hour late to come to my place, and we were about 1 and a half hours late for the class gathering. Haaa... that's so typical of us. We are like the resident latecomers of the class. So when we finally locate them at sushi tei... zca nd i walked out of the place just after saying hi... just to go the macdonald's and eat my dinner. Gosh. Then the class just went to play pool after that... before we went home at 11...
And yet again... zhichao and i were the latest. We met deb, shirleen, edmund, zequan, his frens sam and aixuan. at about 645am at golden mile center... when i got there... the first shock that was uneeded came along. SOMEONE ELSE BROUGHT THE SAME BAG AS ME!!! Yes, thank you ax. "...!!!!" Ok, and we were on cloud nine when we realize that we were the majority on the bus with 8 of us and 6 other passengers only. So we happily dominate the rest of the seats at the back of the buses with our bags, titbits and more. 7 hours ride. 2 hours spent at our dearest second link. Yes. and we apparently encountered some fine specimens of the st hilda handbell kids at this area... and according to our observation and jenghu's complaints, we gathered a few things. First, they failed the true blue singaporean test by apparently failing to identify the right queue to follow. After all that training at the hello kitty craze and now you dunno where to queue up?! What crap! So using their superb blending skills, they attempted, sadly, with success, to merge in the adjacent queue where we were in. That was followed by twenty people or so who were blindly following them in the queue that didn't exist. That was sufficient to grant them complimentary death stares from us. Second, they can't seems to keep their comments to themselves despite doing their own business. This was certified by our very own jenghu when she paid a royal visit to the toilet at the checkpoint. According to the official statement from jenghu's press secretary, the st hilda kids' gaps didn't shut from the point of entry right up to the exit.
Finally home free and Singapore free... and genting here we come. Titbits, music, daidee, and chess were the orders of the day. Uneventful ride, except that we overtook like 7 buses on the highway, thus reaching the cable car station by 1 something. That cable car ride was fantastic man... "World's fastest cable car and southeast asia's longest cable car" WOW. Jenghu and shirleen got the fright of their life, no thanks to zhichao. Oh, that ride also made zhichao found a new passion of becoming a kamikaze pilot. Oh yes... with a jenghu, of course there must be an fan dui dang... so definitely zhichao rose to that title.
That air up there is cold.... brrrrrr.... and after checking in, we found lunch at macdonald's. And yet another record held by jenghu was that she broke her sandals on our first walk towards first world plaza. So our first task was to buy a pair of shoes for her while for the first time in history jenghu and the opposition stood side by side waiting patiently. Yeah. Lunch was at 5pm at pizza hut.. together with a first class show of how a family took off without paying after a meal. Interesting things you never get to see in Singapore. (Gosh, i'm getting bored of typing this because of my vocab limitations.) First night was kind of slow... So the eight of us met up for dinner at 8pm, settling at this sushi joint. And my goodness... this is the first time the sight of food makes my appetite go away. One interesting thing to note... No one seems to be taking any sushi off the belt, much to our amazement. That was so fun man... we ordered a meal for the four of us, but ended up giving the food to edmund. The power of
Sleepless at genting. Even after we played for another 2 hours of so in ed's room jenghu decided that she couldn't sleep. So we venture to first world yet again fourth time that day... and trying to be gungho (and lazy) i walked out in that 15deg night in pe shorts and sweater. Ouch. Oh, did i say that i've discarded all my diet plans for this trip? So i decided to have supper at that unearthly 3am. Boy it was great. food, glorious food.
Next day breakfast was at 10am i suppose... we resoluted to have proper meals for the day... but we still woke up late and had our late breakfast at macdonald's anyway. Arcade games were next on the list... but well, most machines seems to be underserviced and out to eat our tokens up... never mind... Oh. People who knows jenghu should know that she never touch arcades game. So make an intelligent guess of what she did? Buy more shoes! LoLx. Yeah. I reckon we spent lots of time walking from genting to first world. Yes... 5 flights of escalators and a long stretch is not exactly that near... but we don't have much of a choice i guess. So after exploring the genting arcade we went on to first world arcade...
(Gosh, you realize my account is getting shorter and shorter...)
Nothing much in the afternoon except me, zequan, sam and ax exploring the indoor theme park. And yet again... jenghu decided to bring her party to go shopping AGAIN. no wonder our annual national expenditures is so high. The weather is so misty that we don't really wanna explore the outdoors. So anyway... we went to take a couple of rides, and the thrill rides we pretty good i guess. So the outdoor ones would be a lot better i guess. Haizz. What a waste... And then again, the queues in the indoor rides were too long. Haizz. Oh, on that indoor mini-roller-coaster or watever you call it, the four of us decided to scream our heads off on the last ride after dinner... hahahaha... i mean, when other people were taking rides, you usually hear only girls' shrieking during the turns and such. And for our turn all you'd hear was a bunch of crazy guys screaming with their hoarse voices, so loud that when we turned back to the start so many people were wide-eyeing the four of us. Doesn't really help when our screams turned into uncontrollable laughter and banging on the train as we got off the ride. BwahHAhahahaha....
Oh, dinner... i HAVE to talk about dinner. For the FIRST time in genting... i'm getting some decent food. This buffet at tropical kafe was kinda pricey at RM29, but it was good anyway... sushi... roasts... chicken rice... soup... salads... roti prata... grilled fish... sugar cane juice... fruits... cakes... noodles... etc etc... we were like piling food up our tables... hahahaha... not really that good as some buffets in singapore, but it was at least decent food for once. Yeah. I guess no one place can beat singapore as a food haven. Oh, how blessed are Singaporeans. =)
That night we wanted to ton... but while they were playing their games i ended up half sleeping on ed's bed... hahahaha... popping up to make incoherent comments. LoLx. I hate that. make a fool outta myself i guess. But apparently they seems to be enjoying themselves... that's all it matters... hahaha...
Ok.... i'm back barely 20 minutes later. Think apart from giving the details of what-when-how-where i wanna pen a few thoughts over here as well...
this trip has been a good getaway for me though... away from home, from people, from stuff, from ministry, from studies... from everything i had at home. Enjoyed the company, the wind, the timeless experience... where i just lose track of time and just laze around... that's one reason why i decided not to bring my watch along as well.... (a dumb one i guess). Most importantly... it was another time of self discovery... realized that i can't stand people being indecisive... that lead me to be impatient... then i end up making lotsa decisions... so i had to curb myself back a lot of times, stopping short at snapping at certain people... haahahah... I mean, i decided not to supply any form of suggestions at times.. and simply shrug my shoulders. Dun wanna be domineering... though i think i appear so. I hate that feeling. People will be distant from you. They see the leadership in you, but they don't see the friend in you. Nahhh... i got enough of that. I dun want be a leader... i just want to be like everyone else... I talk a tad too much at times too... ya know being passive complaining? yeah. that's just a bit less than outright criticism i think. When i was bitchin to someone about the other one... he passed a comment "aiyah... i'm used to such things already lo. Complain so much for what? complain already also no use..." i mean... ok, first that's a hint to stop complaining (which i usually don't care and they are used to it anyway) and the second... quite true... there's nothing much that can be done when sometimes the subject of my complains sulk and refuse to say what's wrong when you ask what's wrong and give you a stupid attitude that you can't stand. Ok... i think i'm complaining again. Haaahh... i shall stop bitchin about it now... lolx. And i strongly believe that i really can't stand myself if i meet myself... people who puts the other party down at all cost... in a nutshell, ego. Uhh... you get the gist... Many thoughts came across my mind during the whole trip. Looking at others... at myself... at my life... at my circumstances... i realize i can't live without God... yeah. I dunno... but guess absence makes the heart fonder... i do miss the bros and sis...................
