*Random thinking part 1*
Ok, i am back here. Alot of things happened. Some friends going uni soon, some going tekong for NS soon. But me? Hmmm, i am fortunate to be going to SCDF which is besides NTU. haha, in singapore but a bit far though. Can imagine sitting in mrt from tampines or simei to chinese gardens or boon lay. Lolx. The day will be one month plus from now. How will it be? It looks promising that even my parents went to visit the place that i will be training soon and came back home with smiles. hmmm hope that even if i am to be transferred elsewhere after 2/3 months, it will be closer to my home ba. Hmm ok now lvl 77 in maple. lucky number ya? Hopefully so. Btw, shall prepare a purchasing list for my special NS enlistment as i need quite a few stuffs for then soon. Sad that my mini alarm clock broke down after following me throughout the first 2 years plus in poly. Not sure if i am allowed to bring a bigger alarm clock to my campus or not. Hmmmm, if not, gonna buy one soon...
Ok, the election campaign starts today. Gonna see many lorries with people shouting through lorry with loudspeker soon ba, i guess. A pity i cannot vote this year. Awww, 2 years short of voting age. When i am out of NS, then i shall be ready for voting. Haha. But i shall have to wait for years later for next election ba. Hmmm, PAP looks to be taking more seats soon. If they can get 83/84 seats, it would be great for them. Getting all seats will probably weaken the opposition further though. O.o Is it really an option to give PAP complete control in the parliament? This is what some singaporeans are thinking of now though.
OK, i found this rather interesting paragraph about women in an email from friend. Shall post it here to end off this random post. Enjoy!
One Flaw In Women
Women have strengths that amaze men.
They bear hardships and they carry burdens,
but they hold happiness, love and joy.
They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy
and laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in.
They stand up to injustice.
They don't take "no" for an answer
when they believe there is a better solution.
They go without so their family can have.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They love unconditionally.
They cry when their children excel
and cheer when their friends get awards.
They are happy when they hear about
a birth or a wedding.
Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They grieve at the loss of a family member,
yet they are strong when they
think there is no strength left.
They know that a hug and a kiss
can heal a broken heart.
Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.
They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you
to show how much they care about you.
The heart of a woman is what
makes the world keep turning.
They bring joy, hope and love.
They have compassion and ideas.
They give moral support to their
family and friends.
Women have vital things to say
and everything to give.
HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN,
IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.
Quite Touching for some people ya? =) Be back soon for more, ya? hehe
Finding a new path is to forgo opportunity costs to other paths.

♂╘╬Genting Trip April 06♀╬╕®
-Started typing this on April 9th with breaks in between
At times, I enjoyed myself out there. At certain times, I felt a bit lost and could not express myself good enough. It often seems like it is a case of soul in local, body at overseas. But it was not to be. And due to some factors, it make my overall experience bad at times. Though it appears only to be slightly good experience. Well, thats the summary of wat i think of myself personally. As for now, let me evaluate the factors that affects my mood as well as what happens thereafter.
Day 1Everything appears set to be absolutely 100% enjoyable on the coach to genting via the tuas 2nd link. The weather looks fine, except that the ride is abit too long. Maybe it is due to alot of aunties uncles going there too, therefore having a few more and longer break times. I also managed to see the petronas twin towers. Looks tall, vibrant with sharp antennas on top of each tower. Looks cool enough to brighten my vision to embark on a journey to the "Celestial Heaven". Once stepped out of the coach, cool mists blow towards each and every one of us. Wow, what a great feeling. There are 12 of us on this coach, with the other 2 travelling separately. We walk towards the entrance check-in counter, even no aircon still quite cooling. Tats great,ya? Until i know how we are going to stay in the first world hotel (looks like a circus themed hotel), it seems fine. Time check : close to 3pm...
Strange to me and that is 4 ppl each stay in 3 rooms only. I tot should be 2 each in 6 rooms? Maybe there are costs incurred for too many rooms or some of them dun wan to be separated too much ba. Wats unbelievable is that each room that we are staying is way too small. Tv programmes are few enough to compensate my nightly devotion to local drama-xing shan shan and korean drama-da chang jing. O.o sad to say also, there is no proper clothes cupboard to put in clothes except for a small corner where some clothes hanger are kept hanging tightly on a bar of rod without any door protecting any possible dust. O, me forgot to say that i have no choice but to stay in a room with 2 respectful ladies and a know-but-dunno-how-to-communicate well guy. I shall label this guy throughout this post as mr guy X ba.
After settling down, we soon went out to have a lunch somewhere. As we dunno where to eat, perhaps it is the presence of mr "hainan-look" guy that we soon proceed to a hainan restaurant which looks to be serving good food. It turns out to be quite worse, most of the things that we ordered looks good but taste abysmal only. I ordered fish & chips and found it to be one of the worse fish and chips that i ever had, though i liked that generous amount of tartar sauce provided. Ok, after this meal, i seems to fall down from heaven to hell instantly. Wats more is that, i dunno y we guys side no ordered drinks. Hmmmm, maybe the drinks not good enough to make guys side order for it? Girls table do have order drinks though, but the drink servings seem small. Ok, after meal all of us, 14 people looked around to see what can we do next. Only about 3 to 4 girls choose to go to ripley's believe it or not. The rest of us went to ripleys' haunted house. Firstly, each of us took a pic with a white clothed long black hair lady before taking a short 45 degree upwards ride up to the haunted house on the 2nd level. Throught the walk in the haunted house, it is made not-so-scary sometimes as there are quite a number of us walking through together at the same time. I feel that only when the hands of a person under some walkway came grabbing my ankles ,did make me surprised a little. Shortly after the dark journey, we proceeded to ripley's believe it or not.
Wow, there are alot of unbelievable things there. Be it tall, short, long, gigantic, freaky, mini-sized, spectacular, imaginary, illusionary, ancient or wonders, you can find most of them there. Well, most of my group just walk through fast fast and did not appreciate the art behind these exhibits too much. But never mind, lucky not me appreciating only but also a few more friends with me looking around as well. Hmmm, after that we walk a bit (separate into 2 groups) and rest awhile before going for dinner. 7 goes for kfc, the other 7 including me goes for marrybrown. I then know they accept cents somemore n did not list the charged price for food in the menu de. Sianz, one cents are indeed troublesome. Ok, my fish burger is normal, nothing special. Finally, we went for our bowling session. I know how to bowl a little though if i brushed my technique, i will play much better. All of them enjoyed themselves until it reaches near 12am. Ok, back to first world hotel to sleep and 2nd day awaits. Well, everyone took their baths and slept quite late. Due to me quite blur, that my guy X slept on floor and did not tell me beforehand. ... Pissed off rite? He did not even hint me tat i possibly can sleep on the other floor side of the connected 2 beds. So me off to sleep alone on the side of the bed without disturbing the other 2 girls on the other bed. See bad communication somewhat disrupt my mood at times. Next time, i dun wanna even share bed with him, for he did not say his plans beforehand de. Somemore, if someone dun understand something, he will not explain sincerely a few times until the other party knows. A creepy person too... ZzZzZzZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Meanwhile, one of the rooms got wrestling matches ba, the other being a hyper active entertaining room ba. I guess so... haha
Day 2Breakfast for the guys, biscuits for the girls. The girls decide to eat breakfast on the 3rd day due to the lack of breakfast coupons for all to go eat. Sure, there are quite alot of stuffs. Some dun look fresh to me and i jus choose a few types of side dishes to go with some bee hoon. Next, i went to get 2 he bao dan from the malay chef that continous just frys eggs on the counters there. I wonder is he always there serving eggs for 365days? Haha perhaps ba. I went back to my sit and ate a bit before going to get peach juice. Tastes not bad. Ok after breakfast, we went back to rest a while. Breakfast tastes just only satisfactory to me.
Afternoon soon, all gathered to buy 2 day outdoor and indoor theme park package tickets. We soon went for the merry-go-round in the air ride for twice. Quite cooling but can be dizzy if sit too many times. Before that, some went for the supposedly not so fun haunted ride. Heard from them that the ghosts not human de, so not scary and is quite predictable. After that, time for the cyclone coaster ride. I did not quite enjoy it at first as it sends u like wanna fly but can only fly a bit that type of feeling. Enjoyed it 2nd round though but the bump a bit special and the ride is speedy too. Ok, next, some went corkscrew roller coaster, some go fun kart while the weather starts to drizzle with mists soon. Fun kart should be renamed as begginer kart as it is not fun at all. Though safety precautions are taken, the kart speed is way too slow to pose any danger. Oh, during the drizzle, we went to a jap restaurant called Sushi King if i not wrong to eat some jap food. I ate cold soba. Taste nice but a bit ex. Lucky i bring more than enough RM with me. Somemore comes with free yakult. Haha nobody eats sushi though as the restaurant is almost deserted like tat. Their sushi appearance dun look that great to me. Soon after, we go outdoor amusement park a while and saw some more brave ones attempting more tries at space shot than the rest few of us. Tats freaking sick ya? An elevator carries you up to about 8 storeys high, let you see the nice scenery before free fall to make you feel as if your heart is about to pop up through your throat. About 6 of us went sit the 5 storey ferris wheel to see the brave fellows drop from high up the sky back to the wraths of the highlands. A number of them seems immune to this ride after a few times of free falling breezy ride. Soon after outdoor theme park closes at close to 7pm, we went to try out the indoor roller coaster. Wow, there are quite a number of sharp turns and is fast at times to thrill some people. Most notably, there are always people shouting while seating in this ride. For one fact, it is quite chilling to sit in this ride. In the end, we sit through quite a number of times.
We went to "Food Street" that resembles the marche style for dinner. There are nothing much to order as the food most of us ordered got minor problems. Some got a lot tao gheys, Some tim sum dun taste like tim sum, western food servings proportion a bit too little, meat too tough to chew and delights like fried rice dun taste that nice too. I ordered fried noodles which is ok to eat but noodles can be further cooked to blend the taste together. Soon, some of us buy fruit with chocolate fondue in a plastic cup. Tastes unique and worth trying though if you don't like chocolate. After dinner, we split up into 3 groups. One goes freely walk walk, one goes arcade and got some try to join into the casino. Ooooohhh, but they failed instantly though. Sad, isn't it? Me meanwhile play house of the dead 4 there with a couple of my friends. Found that it is easier fighting together but fighting alone is tougher as i never tried playing alone. Died miserably and failed to reach my own expectation of reaching at least stage 3 of the game.
Owwww, thereafter we go to play bumper cars. I think it is now one of my favourite "sports" at the moment. Can it be known as an indoor leisure sport? Maybe to some, the answer is possibly yes. I started to then analyse while playing to see which angle plus wat velocity when banging one of the other car may cause a bigger bump impact. I discovered and make a few pointers for myself but i still need more match experiences to fully master the bumping skills. Not long later, we breeze through the last few rides of the indoor roller coaster and we went back hotel soon. Throughout the day, my headache somehow ricochets and my brain feels like spinning on its own. So, me slept soon and the mr guy x slept beside me after i am in deep sleep this time. It seems like everybody can sleep well. Maybe mr guy x slept too near me and my body sense a rise in temperature immediately? I dunno, but it is fortunate i made a good dream. If its bad, maybe he would suffer bruises ba. Worse come worse, if i had learned karate or watever skills, one would expect him to grumble about it the coming morning. LOLx...
Day 3Oh well, actually i woke up early de but somehow as most people are asleep, i fall back to sleep again. I think that the girls went to ate their breakfast this time and most of them went shopping. Meanwhile, i dun think any guys including me got eat anything ya? Hmmm, a rather big group of guys went for bowling at 12pm soon as we got some free tickets to free games. A pity it is not a free match case, else most of us would have chiong to play bowling much earlier already. At much later time, I played quite badly somehow as i tries to find some sort of rhythm but just does not seem to find it. Maybe my practicising of rolling the bowling ball in spinning mode does somewhat affects my judgement of accuracy ba. Perhaps due to my below par performance today, i somehow decide to join three other girls who just came back from shopping and wanna play bowling. Me therefore had my lunch quite late. I still did not play well in first match but did improve in the 2nd match. Ok, off to kfc for lunch with one of my friends. Everything seems to shrink including the zinger burger. Oh well... The others go to walk walk first.
After that, we gather in time for the 4D motion picture in threatre. It is about ali baba on some sort of rescue mission. A pity it is too short and the graphics can be better. I suggest Wizet can create a maplestory plot in this sort of 4D motion picture. Sure will have small kids wanting to see how marvellous the effects when fully integrated are. Imagine a hermit assualting some high level creatures on a volcanic mountain. Haha, would it be better than this simple ali baba show. Most likely. It depends also on how much investment the company is willing to invest to earn money from such shows.
A while later, most of them go paddle water boats in pairs and took some extravagant photos. Me actually wanna paddle, but could not find someone to paddle with me. A bit sad then, but i can only say i got no such opportunity at that point of time. Chilling wind kept blowing near the bay area, and i sat there with a few who dun wan to paddle to see how those people paddle together. After that, i tried corkscrew roller coaster with almost all of them except one. Quite thrilling as it twist and turns at some sections though. Through much later rides before outdoor amusement park closes, i found that where you sit in the roller coaster can have varied experience. Hmmm, ok after that, they went for some space shot frenzy before taking some more snapshots. Evening time, we went to a chinese restaurant at basement level. So far, it is the best meal since the first day of arrival at genting. Ordered about 6-7 dishes and each of us ate about 3/4 full, which is appropriate for dinner.
Soon, we spilt into 2 groups again. 8 persons go to watch that Mysteria theatre live performance, the rest go watch 'Ice Age 2' movie. Feel somewhat cheated abit to watch that Mysteria show as there are not much exciting portions. Lots of dancing around which makes one sleep easily then concentrate. -.-||| Ok ended up feeling sleepy when the show ends. Met up with the rest at the bumper car area and continue bumping each other. I found some rhythm in bumping and will continue honing this skill next time when i get to bump cars again. lolx... This continues until it is almost 12am. So all of us went back to respective small hotel rooms. And so, the fighting goes on in one room? The room next to mine is noisy at its peak somehow, with my room the quietest as i am in the room mah. What crap am i saying. haha. My room got gambling sessions, chess sessions and there could have been psp interactive sessions had there not been that mr guy X failure to even tell me to bring tat particular game. What a guy that thinks he can predict wat others will do or wat will happen, but does not turn out to be what it is.
Day 4Later on, some watched sunrise but instead see only fluffy clouds. Ok, my room mates and me soon returned to our room but discovered the other people that are having fun at our room fell asleep. We took the keys of the couple tat fell asleep and went to their room at 3 level lower and sleep soon. But again, tat mr guy X should not have slept first. It is originally meant for the 2 girls to sleep on that queen size bed. And the rest of the guys are to sleep on the floor. Even if he sleeps only on one side, he did not even say who the other side is meant for. Me hesistate to sleep on the other corner for a while. And upon seeing the other 3 fellows reaction at that my guy X ignorance, i see no point of not sleeping at the corner when there is no other fellow wanting to sleep there. Sigh, what a drama... and the others soon went back to room for a rest. Soon, it is packing time. All pack finished and returned hotel keys soon. All bags are kept in a room near the counter. And we went on to eat a quick lunch at tim sum corner downstair. Most share tim sums, which taste ok only. Some share other stuffs. A moment later, some go arcade and some continue shopping. The arcade is rather big which uses ez-link tap card system which somehow are inresponsive with only a tap. You need to tap once more than the required credits to get the game started somehow.
Those who go arcade, goes for cable car soon except me n mr guy X. Oh y why is he not going for cable car i wonder. Y dun just leave me alone in the arcade? After me finish my credits, i dun even knows what he gonna do. So on the way back to the first world hotel, i just simply ask a question. He jus does not reveals what he is planning to take me to next. Maybe lead me to a mysterious hideout and let me rot there? Hmmmm, as u all know i get tense when i dun even get a clue of what the person next to me is doing what next. The fact that mr guy X did not say he is gonna do as there does not seem to be a 100% answer for my question jus prove that his explanation skills are poor at times. His persuasion skills are not activated at times too. What a letdown... From the surface, it seems like he is handing me over to the girls. But in deeper understanding of the situation, it is not known that the fact actually is i cannot bother to follow him to where he wants to go next as he just wanders with silience. Ok, just walked a little and bought a T-shirt back to singapore thereafter. Board the bus an hour after short walkabout and watch vcd in the coach back to singapore. This time, it is just around 7 hours back to the starting point. Along the way, bought dried foods and stuffs nearby genting before arriving in singapore with more things than ever. The main group travelling then departed separately outside lavender mrt station. Time Check: Around 10:30pm...
Some reached home from there by cab, the rest by mrt. As i am rather familiar with where taxis will probably stop for you, i managed to get a cab and send my friend home from tampines mrt safely.
=) Felt glad...
Walked home from tampines mrt station, feeling having enjoyed the gathering, unusual tinch of sadness, sense of some satisfaction and the drift away from perfection...
ZzZ Home sweet home at last but definitely not the last...
Anticipation 6
- The travelling place seems near yet not near exactly
Must-Explore 6
- Apart from Ripleys' and tat haunted house, there is only more entertainment but not unique enough.
Amusement theme 6.5
- Got indoor that runs till 12am. Outdoor can have more variety but is often affected by mists and other weather conditions and closed at 7pm. Bumper car rox!
Zest 7
- The thrills in staying over there. Value declines if u go there too often.
Exotic taste 6
- Food does not taste nice and some seems not that fresh. It is not easy to find good food there.
My Overall Score for genting -
6.3 Sidenote: Maybe Sun Yan Zi concert there during Month of May is a special concert which may attract more people than at anytime of the year ba.
Ok, let u all view this naruto video which i feel quite fitting to introduce naruto to those who dunno what this anime is or about yet. Shall discuss a few other things soon. See ya soon... As at point of time, I've reached lv.74 in maple. To be happy or to be sad that i did not play other games as much?
(Right click on the below video frame a few times while scrolling down/up to adjust the video position to fit this post frame before playing it.)Stay tuned for more action...
Being Active and Passionate will fill your life with adventures. True???

*Random thinking part 1*
Ok, i am back here. Alot of things happened. Some friends going uni soon, some going tekong for NS soon. But me? Hmmm, i am fortunate to be going to SCDF which is besides NTU. haha, in singapore but a bit far though. Can imagine sitting in mrt from tampines or simei to chinese gardens or boon lay. Lolx.

It looks promising that even my parents went to visit the place that i will be training soon and came back home with smiles. hmmm hope that even if i am to be transferred elsewhere after 2/3 months, it will be closer to my home ba. Hmm ok now lvl 77 in maple. lucky number ya? Hopefully so. Btw, shall prepare a purchasing list for my special NS enlistment as i need quite a few stuffs for then soon. Sad that my mini alarm clock broke down after following me throughout the first 2 years plus in poly. Not sure if i am allowed to bring a bigger alarm clock to my campus or not. Hmmmm, if not, gonna buy one soon...
Ok, the election campaign starts today. Gonna see many lorries with people shouting through lorry with loudspeker soon ba, i guess. A pity i cannot vote this year. Awww, 2 years short of voting age. When i am out of NS, then i shall be ready for voting. Haha. But i shall have to wait for years later for next election ba. Hmmm, PAP looks to be taking more seats soon. If they can get 83/84 seats, it would be great for them. Getting all seats will probably weaken the opposition further though. O.o Is it really an option to give PAP complete control in the parliament? This is what some singaporeans are thinking of now though.

I did not quite enjoy it at first as it sends u like wanna fly but can only fly a bit that type of feeling. Enjoyed it 2nd round though but the bump a bit special and the ride is speedy too. Ok, next, some went corkscrew roller coaster, some go fun kart while the weather starts to drizzle with mists soon. Fun kart should be renamed as begginer kart as it is not fun at all. Though safety precautions are taken, the kart speed is way too slow to pose any danger. Oh, during the drizzle, we went to a jap restaurant called Sushi King if i not wrong to eat some jap food. I ate cold soba. Taste nice but a bit ex. Lucky i bring more than enough RM with me. Somemore comes with free yakult. Haha nobody eats sushi though as the restaurant is almost deserted like tat. Their sushi appearance dun look that great to me. Soon after, we go outdoor amusement park a while and saw some more brave ones attempting more tries at space shot than the rest few of us. Tats freaking sick ya? An elevator carries you up to about 8 storeys high, let you see the nice scenery before free fall to make you feel as if your heart is about to pop up through your throat. About 6 of us went sit the 5 storey ferris wheel to see the brave fellows drop from high up the sky back to the wraths of the highlands. A number of them seems immune to this ride after a few times of free falling breezy ride. Soon after outdoor theme park closes at close to 7pm, we went to try out the indoor roller coaster. Wow, there are quite a number of sharp turns and is fast at times to thrill some people. Most notably, there are always people shouting while seating in this ride. For one fact, it is quite chilling to sit in this ride. In the end, we sit through quite a number of times.
We went to "Food Street" that resembles the marche style for dinner. There are nothing much to order as the food most of us ordered got minor problems. Some got a lot tao gheys, Some tim sum dun taste like tim sum, western food servings proportion a bit too little, meat too tough to chew and delights like fried rice dun taste that nice too. I ordered fried noodles which is ok to eat but noodles can be further cooked to blend the taste together. Soon, some of us buy fruit with chocolate fondue in a plastic cup. Tastes unique and worth trying though if you don't like chocolate. After dinner, we split up into 3 groups. One goes freely walk walk, one goes arcade and got some try to join into the casino. Ooooohhh, but they failed instantly though. Sad, isn't it? Me meanwhile play house of the dead 4 there with a couple of my friends. Found that it is easier fighting together but fighting alone is tougher as i never tried playing alone. Died miserably and failed to reach my own expectation of reaching at least stage 3 of the game.
Owwww, thereafter we go to play bumper cars. I think it is now one of my favourite "sports" at the moment. Can it be known as an indoor leisure sport? Maybe to some, the answer is possibly yes. I started to then analyse while playing to see which angle plus wat velocity when banging one of the other car may cause a bigger bump impact. I discovered and make a few pointers for myself but i still need more match experiences to fully master the bumping skills. Not long later, we breeze through the last few rides of the indoor roller coaster and we went back hotel soon. Throughout the day, my headache somehow ricochets and my brain feels like spinning on its own. So, me slept soon and the mr guy x slept beside me after i am in deep sleep this time. It seems like everybody can sleep well. Maybe mr guy x slept too near me and my body sense a rise in temperature immediately? I dunno, but it is fortunate i made a good dream. If its bad, maybe he would suffer bruises ba. Worse come worse, if i had learned karate or watever skills, one would expect him to grumble about it the coming morning. LOLx...
Day 3Oh well, actually i woke up early de but somehow as most people are asleep, i fall back to sleep again. I think that the girls went to ate their breakfast this time and most of them went shopping. Meanwhile, i dun think any guys including me got eat anything ya? Hmmm, a rather big group of guys went for bowling at 12pm soon as we got some free tickets to free games. A pity it is not a free match case, else most of us would have chiong to play bowling much earlier already. At much later time, I played quite badly somehow as i tries to find some sort of rhythm but just does not seem to find it. Maybe my practicising of rolling the bowling ball in spinning mode does somewhat affects my judgement of accuracy ba. Perhaps due to my below par performance today, i somehow decide to join three other girls who just came back from shopping and wanna play bowling. Me therefore had my lunch quite late. I still did not play well in first match but did improve in the 2nd match. Ok, off to kfc for lunch with one of my friends. Everything seems to shrink including the zinger burger. Oh well... The others go to walk walk first.
After that, we gather in time for the 4D motion picture in threatre. It is about ali baba on some sort of rescue mission. A pity it is too short and the graphics can be better. I suggest Wizet can create a maplestory plot in this sort of 4D motion picture. Sure will have small kids wanting to see how marvellous the effects when fully integrated are. Imagine a hermit assualting some high level creatures on a volcanic mountain. Haha, would it be better than this simple ali baba show. Most likely. It depends also on how much investment the company is willing to invest to earn money from such shows.
A while later, most of them go paddle water boats in pairs and took some extravagant photos. Me actually wanna paddle, but could not find someone to paddle with me. A bit sad then, but i can only say i got no such opportunity at that point of time. Chilling wind kept blowing near the bay area, and i sat there with a few who dun wan to paddle to see how those people paddle together. After that, i tried corkscrew roller coaster with almost all of them except one. Quite thrilling as it twist and turns at some sections though. Through much later rides before outdoor amusement park closes, i found that where you sit in the roller coaster can have varied experience. Hmmm, ok after that, they went for some space shot frenzy before taking some more snapshots. Evening time, we went to a chinese restaurant at basement level. So far, it is the best meal since the first day of arrival at genting. Ordered about 6-7 dishes and each of us ate about 3/4 full, which is appropriate for dinner.
Soon, we spilt into 2 groups again. 8 persons go to watch that Mysteria theatre live performance, the rest go watch 'Ice Age 2' movie. Feel somewhat cheated abit to watch that Mysteria show as there are not much exciting portions. Lots of dancing around which makes one sleep easily then concentrate. -.-||| Ok ended up feeling sleepy when the show ends. Met up with the rest at the bumper car area and continue bumping each other. I found some rhythm in bumping and will continue honing this skill next time when i get to bump cars again. lolx... This continues until it is almost 12am. So all of us went back to respective small hotel rooms. And so, the fighting goes on in one room? The room next to mine is noisy at its peak somehow, with my room the quietest as i am in the room mah. What crap am i saying. haha. My room got gambling sessions, chess sessions and there could have been psp interactive sessions had there not been that mr guy X failure to even tell me to bring tat particular game. What a guy that thinks he can predict wat others will do or wat will happen, but does not turn out to be what it is.
Day 4Later on, some watched sunrise but instead see only fluffy clouds. Ok, my room mates and me soon returned to our room but discovered the other people that are having fun at our room fell asleep. We took the keys of the couple tat fell asleep and went to their room at 3 level lower and sleep soon. But again, tat mr guy X should not have slept first. It is originally meant for the 2 girls to sleep on that queen size bed. And the rest of the guys are to sleep on the floor. Even if he sleeps only on one side, he did not even say who the other side is meant for. Me hesistate to sleep on the other corner for a while. And upon seeing the other 3 fellows reaction at that my guy X ignorance, i see no point of not sleeping at the corner when there is no other fellow wanting to sleep there. Sigh, what a drama... and the others soon went back to room for a rest. Soon, it is packing time. All pack finished and returned hotel keys soon. All bags are kept in a room near the counter. And we went on to eat a quick lunch at tim sum corner downstair. Most share tim sums, which taste ok only. Some share other stuffs. A moment later, some go arcade and some continue shopping. The arcade is rather big which uses ez-link tap card system which somehow are inresponsive with only a tap. You need to tap once more than the required credits to get the game started somehow.
Those who go arcade, goes for cable car soon except me n mr guy X. Oh y why is he not going for cable car i wonder. Y dun just leave me alone in the arcade? After me finish my credits, i dun even knows what he gonna do. So on the way back to the first world hotel, i just simply ask a question. He jus does not reveals what he is planning to take me to next. Maybe lead me to a mysterious hideout and let me rot there? Hmmmm, as u all know i get tense when i dun even get a clue of what the person next to me is doing what next. The fact that mr guy X did not say he is gonna do as there does not seem to be a 100% answer for my question jus prove that his explanation skills are poor at times. His persuasion skills are not activated at times too. What a letdown... From the surface, it seems like he is handing me over to the girls. But in deeper understanding of the situation, it is not known that the fact actually is i cannot bother to follow him to where he wants to go next as he just wanders with silience. Ok, just walked a little and bought a T-shirt back to singapore thereafter. Board the bus an hour after short walkabout and watch vcd in the coach back to singapore. This time, it is just around 7 hours back to the starting point. Along the way, bought dried foods and stuffs nearby genting before arriving in singapore with more things than ever. The main group travelling then departed separately outside lavender mrt station. Time Check: Around 10:30pm...
Some reached home from there by cab, the rest by mrt. As i am rather familiar with where taxis will probably stop for you, i managed to get a cab and send my friend home from tampines mrt safely.
=) Felt glad...
Walked home from tampines mrt station, feeling having enjoyed the gathering, unusual tinch of sadness, sense of some satisfaction and the drift away from perfection...
ZzZ Home sweet home at last but definitely not the last...
Anticipation 6
- The travelling place seems near yet not near exactly
Must-Explore 6
- Apart from Ripleys' and tat haunted house, there is only more entertainment but not unique enough.
Amusement theme 6.5
- Got indoor that runs till 12am. Outdoor can have more variety but is often affected by mists and other weather conditions and closed at 7pm. Bumper car rox!
Zest 7
- The thrills in staying over there. Value declines if u go there too often.
Exotic taste 6
- Food does not taste nice and some seems not that fresh. It is not easy to find good food there.
My Overall Score for genting -
6.3 Sidenote: Maybe Sun Yan Zi concert there during Month of May is a special concert which may attract more people than at anytime of the year ba.
Ok, let u all view this naruto video which i feel quite fitting to introduce naruto to those who dunno what this anime is or about yet. Shall discuss a few other things soon. See ya soon... As at point of time, I've reached lv.74 in maple. To be happy or to be sad that i did not play other games as much?
(Right click on the below video frame a few times while scrolling down/up to adjust the video position to fit this post frame before playing it.)Stay tuned for more action...
Being Active and Passionate will fill your life with adventures. True???
