Weekend Genting Getaway

Went to Genting over the last weekend with my besties! Departed on Friday at about ten plus, close to eleven, at Golden Mile Complex. And yay, love the double decker Five Stars Tours coach! The experience was totally different as compared to ten years ago, when I went Genting with them. Now, their seats are comfy plus with massage, leg room is awesome and can watch movies or play games! Simply awesome!

Entertainment on the coach!

Friend playing Puzzle Bobble on the coach. Blurred due to moving coach :S

And so, we arrived there on the wee hours of the morning, about 5am! It's pretty cold, and while we just got down from the coach and making our way to the building, a cold gust of wind just whoosh by! Sending shivers down our entire body hahaha. And that's after a friend commented, "Where got cold?". What an irony! It's like the nature is answering him hahaha!

Near the hotel lobby, people asleep while waiting to check in in the morning

The empty row of counters :(

After asking around and queuing for a number to be called starting from 9AM, we went to McDonald's to chill. We have about FOUR hours to KILLLLLLL! GAHHH. :(

Breakfast at 5+ AM! Drinking the hot tea in a cold weather is so warming!

Monopoly Deal to kill time!

Finally, after what seemed like an eternal wait, the counter(s) are open! Slowly...

The result of waiting close to 2 hours...

Still not our turn yet! ;(

Our queue number is 140. Despite getting the number at 5am last night, it was still quite a large number. Lesson learnt: We should have bought express checkin, maybe the queue and waiting time will be much shorter!

Spotted a cute boy wearing a Tweety bird jacket! :D

Camwhoring bait while waitinggggg...

At last, we managed to check in at about 12.30pm! Gosh, what a long waittttttttt!

The room! Looks small but cozy and have everything you need ;) Not sure if there's air-con though, cos there was no controller for it. There was a hugeass fan overlooking the bed though. But amazingly, even without aircon (maybe), it was not hot. Probably cos of Genting's cool weather and all haha.

There's a safety deposit box too! Handy! :D

Proceeding to the theme park, spotted Statue of Liberty on a motorcycle!

Theme park in sight!

For the theme park, we purchased the unlimited indoor and outdoor rides for 1 day at RM66 per person.

The Flying Coaster!

And no, we didn't pay extra for the Flying Coaster. 

Just showed our wristband, probably now no need to pay extra? Hahaha

The Flying Coaster! Queued probably close to 2 hours for it. ;) It's really fun and heart thumping haha. There are no safety belts, only a metal gate behind your back, so relying on your hand grasp and feet. It's lying down, like superman kind. And there are two 360 degrees turns! Both my hands and feet gripped on damn tightly HAHAHA. Exhilarating! ;)

Sat on the Pirate Ship as well! The queue was moving fast, waited for a short duration only.

The 'Flying' Carousel! FUNNNNN! And windy! Hahaha. Short waiting time too.

The Spaceshot! So high up in the sky! I wondered how high is it.

We sat on the Spaceshot as well! Super super long waiting time! Maybe 2 hours or so? :/

Pretty fun, hahaha but the ride felt like it was over in a moment of seconds. Haha, I guess the most heart racing part was during the first mega drop! Anyway, there has been rumors that an accident in which the woman's scalp/head got ripped off in this particular ride as her long hair was caught when it was going down? Omg scary :/

And wow, the Spaceshot is so much TALLER than the First World Hotel. :O

The Ferris Wheel, which we forsake it to queue for the Spaceshot beside.

The Corkscrew Rollercoaster ride!

The queue for Corkscrew was quite okay, moves relatively fast, compared to The Flying Coaster and the Spaceshot. One time can seat 24 person :)

The track of Corkscrew. There's two 360 degrees turns!

The Corkscrew was fun, but way less scarier as compared to USS Battlestar Galactica, which is faster and more heart racing.

The world of Dinosaurs

LOL at my petrified expression! -__-

Cute tram!

Sunday, Day Two.

We woke up really late, hahaha. As the night before, we decided to have brunch instead. More time for sleeping! :P

Big pot of Bakuteh! Cheap and good!! :D

Yummy!

Coach departed on Sunday in the afternoon. About 1.30pm?
 Reached Singapore at about 8 plus at night. :)

Short weekend getaways from the bustling Singapore ;)
