♥ Dream Do Come TRUE ♥ @ 12:27 AM
Yeah...I am Back!!!
Haha...I am back to Singapore le. Yes...I am very happy. Read on and you will know it. ;p
I set off to Genting on Thursday night with my colleagues and my friends. Very funny, I keep remembering the wrong timing leh. Haha...I thought it was 10.30pm but then in fact it was 9.30pm. Actually I am working afternoon, so since going night bus so have to change shift le. And the time was 9.30pm so I request to go off at 5.30pm (owe 1 hour) so that I can go home to wash up and have dinner before going out at 7.30pm. While Janice claim 30mins to go off early. So she will work till 8pm instead of 8.30pm. Too bad, she do not have time to wash up and eat.
Meet Janice at Taka Taxi Stand 8.15pm and Weifu and his mother take cab from their Toa Payoh's house to Taka and fetch us. Thanks Weifu and his mother for the free ride. We reached Bukit Panjang Plaza at about 9pm. Saw Josephine at the taxi stand and we all waiting for the rest to come. Claire and her friend were resting at the Mac. Bee Bee, Xiu Li, Cornie, Alice and her husband arrived shortly. Haha...We have been waiting very long at the taxi stand for the coach to come but it never turn up. In fact the coach is waiting at the other side of the road. Heng, we walked to the road junction and saw the coach, if not we might missed the coach. It was a 18 seaters coach. Very spacious. And it was majiam own by us. Nobody else except us taking the coach. We were quite shocked. Haha...
Total 12 persons. Wow...such a big group sia. We are like having a wu lin da hui at the mountain. We are the 1st batch going up, then friday night got another 3 of them with their family. Saturday another 1 of them with their family. Haha...So in fact, we can have a morning meeting on Sunday before coming back, well we did not and I did not see any of them because the 4 of us go our way. I think the rest of them got saw one another. Actually Taka got a lot of people always go Genting and JB one. We always met some when we are in JB. Haha. And I heard from them that Jonathan was staying at the same floor as us just beside our room. Because Xiu Li they all meet them while they check in and they check out.
Then the driver uncle played pop music sia. From Bukit Panjang to Tuas Checkpoint was only about 15mins ride. The seat was very cosy leh. Maybe too cosy till cannot sleep le. Haha. Then later after custom le, they play the Mr Vampire vcds. Saw this movie so many times liao le. Oh by the way, when I was at Malaysia Check point, everyone has to open and check bag except me leh. Haha...I am so lucky. I show signal want to check my bag but the lady signal me no need. So I just walk pass, did not even open up my bag zip. Then Janice so suai, check bag still ask so many questions. Haha...And we reached Yong Peng within 1Hr 30Mins. I ate a big chicken bun RM$3 only and it was very very the big wor. While we set off again, we had 3 extra persons in the coach. We all was in shocked, we thought we took the wrong bus. How come suddenly got 3 extra persons travelling with us. In the end, we also did not bother. I totally can't get to sleep, timing like not right leh. Haha...So do Janice and Claire. Alice also did not sleep, she was busy watching shows on the mp3 player. I am listening to my mp3 player, though eye is closed but my mind still awake. I know what is going on around. Die liao le, not enough sleep how to don till check in. Haiz.
We reached the First World Lobby before 2.45am. Wow so fast man. Haha...Then we proceed to Genting Hotel Lobby to check in our luggages first. Because we can only check in hotel at 12pm. Then all of us went to Casino except Weifu (he is under aged) and his mother (seldom go casino) go wander around. Actually Weifu tried to go in, but kana stop, so we all arranged to meet 12pm at the lobby to check in. Actually we are very sleepy leh. Middle of the night, no place to rest. Those who don't have the Genting card, went to make the card. Later we all go our own way. We played the jackpot. Lose RM$10. Sian le, so Janice and me went to play Big and Small table. We took out RM$50 each and we share it. Initially we won RM$100 leh. And we thought our breakfast got $$ le. Haha. But then in the end we lost. We lost the won $$ and lost our own $$ RM$25. And partly we are too sleepy liao le, and Weifu and mother were lost at the mac and he called me so we went to go find them at 6am. Ai yo, if he called me earlier we might left the table early and we might not lose the $ back. Haha...Took Big Breakfast at Mac and we lay on table to sleep at 7am. Haha...Sleep dao hand ma le. Actually the place was very humid, it seem that they did not on the air con. Heard from weifu that when they come in middle of the night, the mac was filled with people laying asleep around and though the mac open 24hrs but there is not much foods left to eat. Haha...Guess the people at the mac also waiting to check in hotel. Oh ya, when we were on our way to put our luggages, we walked pass the arcade and we saw a lot of people sleeping on the car racing machine. Haha...
Finally Alice and her husband found us at the mac at 8.30am. Heng I sleep 1Hr 30Min liao le, if not damn sleepy. Slack till 9am and went to find Bee Bee they all to get the tag to change shoes. Claire's covered shoe is giving her a lot of problem. We also shun bian change our covered shoe to scandal. Haha...Then the rest all go eat breakfast while the 4 of us went to First World Plaza. Went to outdoor to enjoy the breeze.
Took some photos then later we buy the tickets for the indoor theme park RM$21. Went to play the motion master: Adventure Of Ali Baba. A very boring ride leh. We were given a black glasses then the seat just move a bit. Not very fun. Later went for Rio Float (Family Ride). Haha...Shop around, went to Cd shop and found 3 albums that I wanted to buy very long. But I did not have enough $$ to buy and i was still considering. Haha...We will be back to buy before we go back if I have enough $. And then Claire and me ta bao Marry Brown Rice Set and addition 1 Chicken set (to be share) back to hotel to eat at 12pm. When we reached hotel lobby, we could not find the rest, so i called them and they have already checked in hotel liao le. And they asked us not to go up because the room still in a mess, have not cleaned up yet. It seem a bit er xin lor. Because very dirty lor. We went to our room though the inter-connecting door. Then sat down to eat our lunch and later went out. In fact, wanted to check in hotel and sleep for a few hours before going out but then in the end, we cannot stay in the room, don't know what time they will come clean the room. Heard from Bee Bee they all, they said they did not wrong way, they claim the luggages liao le then go counter check in hotel. Haha...So no choice liao le, room not ready but bags all pushed up liao le. The room so dirty yet they can still have the mood to shower. Eeeee, the feeling not good lor.
So the 4 of us went back to First World again. Weifu and his mother also followed us over. They go shopping and we continue play the rest of the rides Bumper Car, Venice Gondola, Reindeer Cruiser, Ferris Wheel. Then Claire and her friend went shopping while Janice and me went to Mac to find Weifu. Oh ya Weifu help me bought the 2nd S.H.E album liao. It is for my Birthday's Present. Thanks Weifu for the super early belated present. We rest a bit and while waiting for claire and her friend, Janice and me went for 2nd round of Motion master (left last 2 seats just nice) and Bumper Car. Later went to First World Casino, walk 1 round could not find any table that accept Min RM$5 so we sit down at the canteen for some free drinks. I drank 3 full cups of Milo leh. It was hot and very yummy. Then we met up them at the mac and headed back to hotel.
Back to hotel, finally can rest le. Those guys were sleeping soundly in their room. 1 of the bed 2, 1 of the bed 3 (2 vertical, 1 horizontal) and 3 on the floor (they request extra blanket and pillows). Haha...Then we close the inter-connecting door in order not to disturb their sleep. Chit chatting a while. Claire and her friend went to wash up and we slept for 1Hr 30Min before we left for our dinner. The next door too many people liao le, so very noisy when they are awake. Haha...I settled my dinner for Claypot Chicken plus a drink RM$16 leh. A bit x leh. Janice took the same as me. While Claire they all took Wanton Mee. Then we went to First World AGAIN. Wanted to go for bowling and we had a voucher for 1 free round but when we reached there, Janice and me don't want to play. And intend to redeem the voucher and share the games by the 2 of them but the voucher is vaild before 5pm. Haha...So no choice, we went to shop around and then eat ice cream. I share the ice cream with Janice because we are still feel full from our dinner. Then we walked back to hotel and bathe and have a early sleep. Those at next door is out for dinner buffet, they thought of asking us to join them and then keep knocking on our door but too bad, we left our room early le. I heard them coming back at 10pm, very noisy leh. Haha...
We slept from 10am to sat 10am. Wow more than 12 hours of sleepness. Still okay lah, we had less than 5 hours of sleep within the last 24 hours leh. Finally wake up le. Went to First World and settle down for our breakfast at a Malay Stall, mix rice and vegetables. Self services one leh. Very good lor. I took a plate of rice (a lot leh) then scoop 2 vegetables and 1 sweet and sour meat plus a can of coke. RM$13.15. Though it seem a bit expensive leh, but very very full leh. And after breakfast we went to buy ticket for Mr Bean's Holiday. RM$15 include popcorn, snacks and drink leh. Haha...The movie start 1pm so we spilt into 2 group and go our own way. Janice and me went to the CD shop. Still aiming. Haha. Just went for that 1 shop, it was about time for the movie. The movie is funny. Not bad lor. Then we meet Alice and her husband and weifu for the Haunted House. Actually the night before, we decided not to go for the haunted house because our $$ was tight and plus Claire is scared of those things but in the end she say she want to go, so we went in together. Oh ya, heard from Alice that she was sick, having fever on fri and luckily for Josephine's medicine, and she was feeling better and on sat it was Bee Bee turn to be sick. Ai yo, heng after that alright.
Before we get in to haunted house, there is a photo taking with the 'Ghost'. Claire was scared by the 'Ghost'. Then we went up by the escalator and went into the room. The room was very dark and the environment was super errie. And everyone was handed with a small glowing light stick. I was in the middle and then slowly squeeue dao behind liao. Haha...So weifu and me walked behind lor. Initially we were all scared. But slowly both of us not scared liao le. Then Claire was in front of me. I holding her from behind. Hua qian xia zi ji. We were not scared by the 'Ghost' instead by their screaming. Haha...As we walked, the 'Ghost' will popped out from the hidden door trying to scare people. And they particular like to scare Claire, she was so scared that she scream till her tears dropping. The front was walking super slow that the 2nd group had catch up with us. Haha...Not very scary leh. A bit lame and very short duration leh. We wanted to buy the photograph but then we can't find ours leh. Don't know why leh. Strange right. The rest went back to hotel and while the 4 of us still there. I bought some hair pins and hairband for my little cousin. Then we shopped around. Janice and I had almost shopped finished all the shops le. So tired and we head back to hotel while Claire and her friend continue shopping.
We took another path to Highland Hotel and then walked pass the Gift Castle and I use my Genting Card points to redeem the keychain and top up RM$7 only. Though it is not worth to use the points that way, well I take the points also no use lor. 1GP = RM$1. 8GP = 1 Night Stay at First World Hotel (Low Season). Then we went back to our room and rest and claire and her friend was just after us. Haha...Janice and i went over next door and chat with them. They are going to K song later. Think the most bored person is Weifu and his mother because there is nothing much they can do. In fact weifu and alice wanted to go theme park one, friday heavy fog and sat raining, so suai. His mother not like other auntie like to gamble. Think she was quite bored but she mixed very well with Josephine. Actually Claire's friend wanted to go down to KL but she said it too slow liao le lah. It was almost 11.30am le leh. A bit late liao le. Perhaps next time go ba.
Claire and her friend washed up again and then we went to Sushi. Spent RM$204 for 4 persons only leh. Super X leh. More x than Sakae Sushi leh. Haha...After the dinner, we went to walk around and then Claire's friend was looking for money changer and she change $$. I had to change another S$50. Haiz...I spend all the $$ in entertainment and foods. I did not even bought anything leh. Sob Sob. Bu Gan Xin, have to buy something.
After that we went to Casino, it was super crowded. And we see and see. And we plan to come back midnight since our luck is better at night and also it might be less crowded. So we went back to hotel to wash up and claire's friend went to bed. Janice wanted to went to bed but was disturbed by our talking. Then Xiu Li and Cornie was back from KL and everyone is not in the room so they knock on our room, wanted to put their stuffs down and go out. I ask either Claire or Janice to check the connecting door see if they got close the door not. Heng they did not close the door, so Xiu Li and Cornie can go to their room to rest. Haha...Claire and I still do not want to sleep so we just keep on talking. And keep disturbing Janice up. Haha...Then we also thought about our Taiwan trip. Hehe...I wanted to sleep at 1am wake up at 3 am to go Casino. But I can't get to sleep, Janice and Claire also can't sleep as well so we all decided to go Casino. Haha...We were actually losing $$. Then we change table. Keep seeing and seeing. 4am le. Janice and I intend to stake all our balance in hand RM$50, if win, good, if cannot, we go back to sleep. Until desperate, Claire spread her chips. And we won X14. We managed to recoup back. Haha...Janice and me lose RM$5 only. While Claire won RM$5. Heng. Thanks to Claire for the sharing of $. And we found out our luck is better at 4am to 5am. And we have to be dare to stake bigger. Initially we only put RM$5, 1 in 1 out. No win no lose lor. So we learnt to stake bigger. Haha...So we all went back to sleep 5am and while going back, we met Alice who also want to go back to hotel room. But when she knock on her room door, nobody answer (guess they were asleep liao le) and we tried checking the inter door and they had closed it, so no choice Alice went out again (don't know what happen, maybe go find bee bee to take key or knock on door to wake them up, not sure after that).
We woke up 10.30am. Found Claire sleeping back to her bed, haha, because her friend is occupying the bed ma jiam her own so Claire no choice had to sleep on sofa but then Claire told us she can't get to sleep, when she close her eye, she would see the haunted house, she was so scared that she went back to squeeue the bed. Oh, think next time better don't play. A pity can't go play. Actually Genting one also alright lah. Taiwan one more fun leh. Haha...I was thinking if next time go play again the house hor, I will go scared them instead of they scared us and even hit them. And heard from Alice that her husband actually slam on the window (there was a window in 1 corner and in fact the person will come out and scared people but in the end never) because her husband saw them and hit very hard on the window and they heard the people inside scolding. Haha. The next door again making noise. They are playing blackjack in their room, private gambling. Haha...We pack our bag and check out 11.30am. I remember the timing wrongly again. I thought 2.30pm instead it was 1.30pm leh. Haha...Ai yo, memory really not good leh. We carry all our stuffs and went to First World Plaza to eat the Kenny Rogers. Finally able to eat it, been saying it for days liao le. Yummy and filling. Then we went to CD shop again to buy the 3 albums.
After that we went to First World Hotel Lobby to wait for the rest. And last mins, Xiu li, Bee Bee and Cornie decided to extend 1 more day. Haha...So only the 9 of us go back. The bus is a bit cramp. And some more our seats are behind. So sian. There is 3 seats empty and we put our stuffs there. In fact our coach is 18 seaters one but it will be morning 7am so we forgo it and we took 1.30pm and it was a 27 seaters. While going down the highland, we all felt so dizzy leh, almost want to vomit liao le leh. The bus driving a bit bumping leh. Then we stopped at the foot of genting to shop for some local goodies. I carry a backpack, a small sling bag and a jacket around my waist and I bought the goodies 2 bags. Nothing much liao le. The rest still got buy shirts and shoes while me only cds and goodies. Haha...The traffic was great. And I was able to sleep while on bus. When we stopped at Yong Peng again, we saw the magazine at the shop, bought 1 Pack Fei Lun Hai Post Cards and 1 Fei Lun Hai Magazine and Gong Princess Hours Magazine. After reaching Bukit Panjang Plaza, the 4 of us sharing cab back home. Each of us pay $5. And we reached home 8.30pm just before my mother bring my cousin home. Haha...Wow very fast leh, we are back to Singapore liao le. Though there is nothing much there to do, but it was still better than coming back to work. Haha... Heng today is off, still can rest and recoup my sleepness. And I am back to work tomorrow again. And I will be looking forward in April. Going there AGAIN with my mother, auntie and cousin. Haha...This time only buy transport and we hotel we redeem the points.
Anyway I am very happy to be able to buy some cds: JJ 乐行者, JJ 第二天堂 both Malaysia Version at least not China version, been looking for it very long. And I also bought S.H.E 青春株式會社 (weifu give it to me), S.H.E 美麗新世界 both are Taiwan Version. Haha....Spent $250 over there. Just bought these cds and all spent on entertainment and foods. X sia. The food there is not cheap leh. Overall spent $137 for hotel and transport, plus renew my passport $70. Haiz...Wow, actually can use the $ and save a bit more to travel to other place liao le. Haha...
♥ Dream Do Come TRUE ♥ @ 1:34 PM
Looking Forward...
I am looking forward to my Genting Trip. Can't wait to go there, relax and have fun. Though it is nothing much one, just Genting AGAIN and did not take any plane, but at least it is out of Singapore. Haha...
This time round going with Janice, Claire and her friend and mem plus 8 of my colleagues. Wow. Total 12 persons and what is more, we only book 2 rooms at Genting Hotel. The 4 of us will share 1 room and the rest of them in the other room. Haha...
Initially we intend to share 6 in a room. But I think Claire's friend don't want and she even opt for 2 in a room. Well, if 4 in a room, charges will be higher. So of course Janice and me don't want lor. In fact both of us don't mind sharing with other. In the end, Claire said she would top up the differences for us. Ok lor, fine with us. But my colleagues they all will have to squeeue in a room lor and their fee will be lesser, so can be good can be bad for them. Well, think most of them are gambler so should be no problem. When they are sleeping in the night, some go casino and when they woke up the gambler come back and rest. Haha...
In fact there is only 8 person including me going. In the end, I called Claire and she called her friend and we drag Janice to go. Since 1st March, she have been considering and we keep bombard her. And Claire and me will each give her a treat over there. Haha...So today we confirmed all the hotel and transport.
We will be leaving on 22/3 Thursday night bus and be back on 25/3 Sunday afternoon bus. 2 weeks more to go. We are just so exciting in it and even planning for the trip itinerary. Haha...
