Go Genting Baby!!!!

 

 

Wei everybody!!!!  How was your weekend?  Runo and I had a blast!  We went to genting baby!!!  The journey Up was too cool!  It was hot for my kelisa though.  It screamed all the way up.  Then, on the way down, it screamed again! Coz I engaged Gear 2 and 3.  Most of the cars going down smoked their brake pads.  I smell burning metal on metal every time a car passed by mine. 

 

Oh, did I tell you the journey was Too cool? 

 

So, When in genting, do what everybody does.  Enjoy!!!  It's has been a while since i go genting.  Much has changed.  No more major construction between me and entertainment.  First world plaza is cool.  Not your regular neat and tidy shopping plaza.  Everything is everywhere.  It's like a Focking Carnivale, Circus, Fun Fair Etc. Etc...  And it should be!  I didnt go on rides in the park coz I wanted to explore the new genting.  An I did.  My feet aches like hell.  The place almost never sleeps. 

 

Most of the shops in First world plaza closes by 11 pm.   Some food outlets open till 3am and some 24 hours.  Starbucks Open till 4 am and that's good!  One place that never sleeps is the casino Chains.  There are few new casinos and everybody is so into it.  and some really win and make a fortune out of it.  Well, Besides the owner of course.  But really, even runo, a first timer, with the help of a Tyco friend, won, few hundreds Man...  Too bad I didn't coz i was busy exploring the new place.  But it was all good... 

 

I didn't keep track of everything I did but I did take some pictures.  Not many but they're fine.  I guess you have to be there to feel it.   Just being in the cool misty n windy environment is already marvelous.  Go on the rides and you're good to go.  Unless you are like me. 

 

I had my last ride on the triple looper years back in Sunway lagoon.  Guess what? It really looped three times!   And it screwed my bio-balancing mechanism in my head.  Minutes after that i couldn't ride on a floatation device on water coz my whole world would just spin out of control.  Then for months after that  I couldn't sit at the back seat of a car.  I need to ride in the front passenger seat or My world spins and I get a headache. 

 

Then years after that, I suddenly woke up round 3am with my brains spinning, I was saying 'This is not good' and blood oozing from my ears, and wearing only short pants/boxer i was sent to the hospital by my housemates.  Well, thats a whole other story.  I'm sure it's not directly related but still it has something to with my brains...

 

Anyway, without scaring anyone anymore, here are some pictures of genting.  Go genting and have fun.  It doesn't really cost much if you go during low season or don't stay there.  Go early morning and leave evening.  Be extra careful when leaving at night or early morning when it is dark coz the bends are hard, the turns are sharp and the lanes are tight.

 

 

Runo and maybankers as we're having buffet dinner, RM 26, not excellent but enough to make you don't even want to look at food when you're done.  It saves you big bucks y'know.  There are too many places to eat and all are expensive.
