Day 5

PhotobucketHaa such 'shiokness' to be on 1 week vacation. Well not exactly 1 week of PLAYING, but at least it's 1 week OUT of OFFICE! Best of all, I got my passport stamped lol....

Went to Genting from Sun-Wed. The sole intention was to experience sth different, but I really wanted to come home while I was there. The moment we stepped into New World Hotel, it was so different from what I'd imagined à la Cameron Highlands. I wonder why do people always compare the two when they're so vastly different. But well, I got to visit the theme park and the casinos which was an eye-opener....so many old folks there sitting by the slot machines and the gambling tables. omg. I was expecting young people! We walked ard but since none of us gambles we didn't stay long and that was fortunate cos 10 min in there, you gotta wash ur clothes already cos of the cigarette smoke. Yucks. I think a tour of Genting shld only take 2 days at max, just enough to take all the trill rides at the theme park and walk ard a little. There's really nth much to see nor shop there.


Oh but during the trip, I realised how super 'low maintanence' I was :/ The only thing that got me jumping at the breakfast buffet table was dao see hee porridge (fried dace with black beans), and at the hotpot buffet it was the seaweed which I ate the most. Of the entire trip, it's actually the RM6 cable car ride with made me happiest. Haa....such a loser.

But anyway I don't think I'll be going back to Genting again cos I so cannot take the high altitude there, the noise pollution and air pollution. Next trip will be to the rural areas or at least somewhere more outdoorsy.

So glad to be back. On Thur, went with Tim to attend OSA dinner and caught up with some ppl we haven't met in ages. We ditched the 'student-ly' affair and headed to the Guild Hse for dinner instead. It was good cos it was Tim's treat all the way. So nice to have such generous friends haha :p Good to meet old friends and make new ones :)

After Jap mid-terms yesterday, met Liang at Queensway and bought a pair of sports shoes for him! Haa lucky boy, hope he appreciates what a wonderful sister I am. lol. Sheesh, think I'm getting abit high from just recalling the retail therapy....I'll be back again~
