Went up to Genting yesterday morning with YL and her coursemates. We bought tix earliest bus, 8.30am and latest bus, 8.30pm, which came in as a package deal.
On the way up via the cable car, we already felt very cold as it was drizzling and the fog was really heavy. We couldn't see where cable car was moving towards.
Once up there, we decided to head to the theme park 1st.....and it was sooooo COLD!!! We were practically freezing! The wind was very strong! The fog was still very thick! We could hardly see anything in front of us......so we decided to go for lunch 1st.
I remembered Genting's theme park to be warmer....but it was really freezing cold yesterday. And ppl were saying that Genting is getting warmer and warmer.....maybe due to global warming. Intially, I was planning to go with my normal jacket only but decided I should just take the thick one...but it's not enough!!! I should have just bought a winter jacket, together with gloves and ear muffles!
After lunch, we headed back to the park and it was still BAD! It's drizzling slightly with thick fog and super strong cold wind! My contacts were getting dry, our hair were drenched wet...well not really, it's due to the moist wind! Our hands were super cold. We were all shivering....our thick jackets is of little use. We should have brought super thick wind breakers.
Due to the fog, the view was really bad. We couldn't enjoy the beautiful scenery. Our visibility was only around 20steps??(5-10metres only) We couldn't see anything beyond that. Even friends who walked further up front, we could only see their outline!! As for those higher/taller rides....we could only see their bottom part and the rest......must be heaven! It was sooo cold that there's smoke?? when we talk.
Even though the weather was horrible, the place was still packed with locals and tourists. We went on only 5-7 rides as the lines were long. Plus we took toilet and snack breaks! It was so cold that we got hungry easily and craved hot food!
Soon the weather got sooo bad that some rides had to be closed. We were lining up for a coaster ride when we were shivering soooo badly that we could no longer stand the cold and decided to leave.
We ate a bit only as we were thinking of coming back down to KL for dinner. Thus after tea-break, we went our separate ways. A few of us went for MotionMaster, which was....a waste of my time! I remembered it to be much more exciting and the 4D images to be much clearer. But last night's one was.....BLUR! Thus I had no idea what it was showing.....as I was too busy adjusting my specs!
We decided to head back to the Skyway at 7.30pm since our bus leaves at 8.30pm. But......It CLOSED!!! The cable car service CLOSED!!! We had to either go to the Avana's one or buy a bus ticked directly down to KLSentral. A man told us that there won't be any more buses at Skyway. Panic......
Since we had no idea if we could get a bus ticket even if we took the Avana cable car, we decided to get a direct bus instead from First World Bus Terminal. We arrived there and it was....EMPTY! NO ONE~ only empty buses. All the counters were closed! So we ran around to check if any of the buses are going down to KL. Finally saw 1 bus conductor....but he just arrived!! and he told us to check with the counters. When I was roughly 10-15 steps away from the group, I could only see their shadowy figures!!! The weather was getting worse, drizzling much more heavily and the fog much thicker. The wind was a lot colder too.....I tot it might be 10degrees or lower!!
Finally, we decided we should probably spend the night in Genting for safety reasons. 1st, the fog is tooo thick! We couldn't even see what's ahead of us....what more a bus! Plus it's at night, the bus driver might be sleepy and driving carelessly. 3rd, the roads are slippery. Safety first!
We then rushed back in because we were worried we couldn't get a room as there's really a lot of people in Genting. We got a double room?? Jiunn phoned her dad who asked a friend who called another friend who asked another friend to try get a room for us.....haahaa....and we got another double room! So 5 in 1 room and the other 6 in 1.
Great! No towel, clothes, tooth brush, contact lens solution, case...!!! haiya! After we checked in, we quickly went to buy our necessities......bought toothbrush, contacts solution, face wash, this and that la.......
After leaving out stuffs in the room, we went for dinner at MaryBrown. The whole day we've been eating unhealthy, fast food......morning, some hotdog thing, then lunch...Tempura set, tea break...KFC! We then went shopping for clothes...managed to buy one tee-shirt!
By the time we were back in the room, we're already half-dead! Could hardly open my eyes.....the thing I'm most looking forward to is a hot shower and a comfy bed! There's 6 of us in a room, thus 3 person on each half of the bed!
Didn't really sleep well because it was sooo COLD! esp my feet! We didn't have anything to cover ourselves. Also there were not enough pillows.....we only managed to get extra towels from the hotel staffs!
Then at 4am in the morning, some stupid fellows were shouting and screaming like mad!!! till around 5.30am!!! Disturbing my sleep! I kept waking every half an hour. Jiunn even went to the door as she thought those people were outside out room.....but turns our, they were in the next room!! BISING!!! The YL, P and J were sleeping really peacefully, they didn't even hear anything! Only, Jiunn, LY and I kept waking up! We were all super tired and stressed!
Every one seemed to be sniffing in the morning! As we checked out, it seems that every room we walked past were filled with youngsters our age! Luckily, the cable car is in service again...the down side was, no refund for our tickets!!! and we had to buy new ones!
Yup, definitely one of the most adventerous ( or unlucky) day of my life! Never in my life had I been stranded like this before! Thank goodness there's sooo many of us! and that we were in hotel in Genting and not in a forest!!! Lucky there were rooms and we didn't have to spend out night at Starbucks! haaha......
Note to self, the next time I go Genting. I must bring a set of contacts, spec, spare clothes, super thick jacket, ATM card, mobile phone charger, hair lotion.....just in case. Toothbrush and tooth paste can buy there.
When we woke up in the morning, J asked me if I knew what room we were sleeping in. I replied "No?" She said the room we slept in is actually a 'Love room' because the focus of the room is the bed! The tv is at the side, meaning it's not the main thing. Plus our bathroom is an open bathroom! Then she said, dunno how many ppl did what thing on the bed!!!! GREAT!!!!
I don't know about all these la. I'm with 10 future architects...they know the things they studied.....so...yea!
