A Memorable Trip

We went on a short vacation to Genting and KL after almost a year since we last had a proper break.

Planned to spend the first and second day in Genting. Since the hotel check in time is only at 3pm, so we decided to have a "BUS tour" around KL.


It's been almost 9 years since I left KL, bet how much I miss the busy life there.

We randomly picked a bus which we saw in KL Sentral. Asked the bus driver to put us down at the last stop, Taman Maluri. Along the way, we passed by the route which I used to travel every day during my secondary school days (Jalan Pudu and Jalan Pasar). MY..! How much this place has changed ever since I left KL. Even the old cinema (once was the landmark in Pudu has also been torn down). So we got down at Taman Maluri and took another bus to Pasar Seni. And there we again picked another bus all the way to Sg. Long.

This was the most memorable route as I managed to have a quick glance at my old neighbourhood, Jalan Chan Saw Lin, and amazed at how much it has changed. I hardly recognized the place where I'd been staying for the past 17 years until I've passed by the signboard. The journey went on, leading to my old primary school, SRJK (C) Tai Thung. The same thing happened, I couldn't believe my eyes that this is my formal school. Everything looks so new to me. The big basketball court had make way for the new high way indeed.





Well, the whole journey to Sg. Long took us almost 1 hour+. It was kind of a torturement for our butts :D Sitting on a plastic chairs. Once reached Sg. Long, we took another bus to Puduraya. There goes the story "my life as a butt" when HE started to imagine himself as his butt and communicating with his closest childhood friend, Mr. Annal.

So finally we reached Puduraya on time leading us to Genting!




The weather's superbly cool up there. Checked in to the hotel. He then popped the major question which brought my life to another new phase. "Are you hungry?????" haahhaahaa, just joking. I'm still so shy to share about it.

Well, he kneed down and proposed to me with this baby. (11 carat / 100 diamond ring) :D. From that moment onwards, I only comprehended the meaning - "Tears of Joy". The whole agenda was accompanied by both our new and old theme songs, "Thankful for meeting you" and "Everyday I love you".



There ends the 'sad' story.

There, for the first time we patronized a casino. The experience was enthusiastic! People were gambling with big bucks, and we cooly threw out RM30 to play jackpot. It was like the Chinese proverb which goes "a cow going out to the town" (阿牛出城). We didn't even know how the game goes, and that we actually were allowed to claim the unused/ won $$ back with a member card. A reasonable price to get such experience.







Most of the time was spent in first world as we'd already visited the outdoor theme park last year. To kill some of our time, we went to the 4D motion master. Enjoyable cum funny experience especially when the white kid beside was making a commotion when he missed the seat handles in the middle of the show. Such a cute action, haha.



How nice if time could be freezed, 2 days doesn't seem to be enough in such a great place with great weather (average 16 Celsius).

Time to say goodbye. We then proceeded to the Genting Skyway, going back to KL.



Thought of being like some backpackers, haahaa. Finding for some kind of cheap hotel in Bukit Bintang. But the blazing hot sun failed us. We finally ended up in Melia Hotel. That means, we were only backpacking from Berjaya Timesquare to Melia Hotel which is just right opposite, what a failure I can say..



After some rest (watched half of the ending part of 'Con Air' and the beginning part of '13 going on 30'), we started our journey again. Took bus to Puduraya, and we walked to Petaling Street. It was also my first time of visiting there even though I'd been staying there for so many years.

Costly satay, RM1 per stick with strong ginger taste!


Spent 2hours of walking and having our dinner there, we then walked back by following Berjaya Times Square building. On the way back, we dropped by Lowyat Plaze to have a stroll before heading to Sg. Wang Plaza where a moon cake festival concert was going on. The place was packed with homosapiens, didn't wish to linger any longer there even though Manhand my newly found potential-idol was performing.


So we off to the hotel after a tiring long day.


It was indeed a bad decision as when the clock stroke 10pm there was a fireworks performance, what a waste! That was the second time when we actually witness fireworks show together from a hotel window.






We spent our final day in Berjaya Times Square. Watched a quite boring movie "Accident" as I'm too old for horror movies. After the movie, we went window-shopping until ended up in Borders. Had an eye on these books, but nevermind, I'll wait until they get cheaper in their softcovers sometime later.



Anyway, I was still able to get myself 2 books, the ones I've always wanted to buy since a year back.



Half-reading


Finally we hung out in Starbucks for 2 to 3 hours with the opened books and straying eyes. :D

That brought an end to the 4days 3 nights trip in Genting and KL and most importantly my bachelor life.!
