Ahhhhh..... I need it... after months of firefighting at work, I'm totally burned out...I need a break...thus' along come Ops Genting & KL... a four days trip that should cool me then
( excuses ).13 April 2006 and off I go to the "City in the clouds" .
An almost 6hrs journey from Singapore got me to the "City in the clouds". The journey there was rather smooth with occasionally slowness in traffic due to some road works along the northsouth highway. I ain't complaining though..its for a better road condition.
Wifey took the 1st driving shift all the way to MACHAP.
Me had to buy a road map to guide us thru' the journey although I wanted to rely on my SPIDER SENSE to lead us thru'...but then again...naahh..it ain't gonna to happen anytime soon. Wifey feels more confident with a MAP rather then my SPIDEY SENSE.
Reached "Theme Park" hotel at around 1530hrs. We could have reached earlier but I had made a wrong exit resulting in us having to go a longer route. So much for my SPIDEY SENSE.... I'm beginning to feel that I'm loosing my super power...*darn*
Our rooms had a good view of the "Outdoor Theme Park". This is the first time we had such a view. Usually we would get views such as a TREE blocking a scenery or juz a CARPARK view.. This time round, it was different.
We rested for a while before began exploring the CITY.
The temperature was not really cold so we decided to walk outdoor instead of using the sheltered walkway. The air was fresh although u could smell some vehicle gas ocassionally. Overall it was still fresh.
There was nothing much to do at Genting except for some sighseeing. Both MOMs and Wifey are not into those trill adventure rides. They wandered from shop to shop and to more shops.
As for me, I did try the skydiving experience with wind blowing towards my body at a speed of 195KM. I can FLYyyy... I got new power !!
This is the second time I tired this. Had fun doing this but still nothing beats the BUNGEE Jump that I had some years back. Anyway, it was still good fun flying without wings in the tube..I feel like a fish in a big aquarium with people watching from outside with full amazement. They must be thinking.." WAhhh...So big fish one, good CATCH"
The MOMs & Wifey did try a ride. They took the slow boat ride that simulates a scene in PARIS..BON Jovi !! eeh salah..BON Jour...
After this we headed back to our hotel. Lightout.
14 April 2006. After breakfast at the hotel, we checked out to begin our decent to KL City. But before that, we did our final tour around Genting. The MOMs & Wifey managed to do some last minute shopping
...(biasalah, orang pompuan nie)
Here are some of the Garden Photos that I managed to capture before our decent to KL City.
Time checked 1430hrs...and we are in KL. Just 45min drive from Genting. We had wanted to check into hotel first but since we passed by "Masjid India" site first, we decided to checkout this place first.
The MOMs are full of smiles here...Biasalah...tempat dia olang...
The weather was cloudy when we reached and soon after that, the Sky began to CRY...juz look at the tears running down the streets.
We decided to had our lunch there.. We all decided to have a light lunch as we will be continuing to tour the area in search of that perfect blouse
By 1730hrs, we decided to call off the search and began proceeding to our hotel.
We got an intro of the KL Jam *damnz*
.
Traffic was at a stand still. We were stuck for almost 30min in a small lane before finally breaking thru' to the other side
(teringat lagu " The Doors")..At the hotel, we are given a VIP treatment..Prehaps because we took the PREMIER ROOMs. We were treated to a welcome cocktail. Ain't dat COOL !
We decided to scrap our plan for dinner that night since it was raining heavily. The MOMs looked pretty tired from the search misson earlier. They tucked in early while me and wifey had a quiet dinner of Tomyam soup & Paprirk Rice at a nearby restaurant.
15 April 2006. Rise and Shine...a new day and a new mission. First stop, KLCC.
The place was rather packed with human traffic. I decided to break away from the team to venture on my own there. I'm a one man army scouting and securing my own mission.
I had toured the area for almost 2hrs before regrouping with the rest of the team. By then, we were already hungry. Time for "Oscar Echo" or in other word...makan dahhh...
I had the chance to catch a glim of the latest NOKIA N series phone during my solo round at KLCC. The Nokia N91. With features such as an inbuilt 4 GB HDD space and Wi-fi connection, who could ask for more..Suddently my N70 feels small compared to this. I had asked the sales person about the price but no details were given to them yet as the release date will not be for at least within the few weeks.
After done with KLCC, guess where is our next mission. "Jln Masjid India" again...Since the MOMs had nothing to buy at KLCC, they prefer Jln Masjid India better...Hence resulting in "The Return to Masjid India".
This time round the sky wasn't crying. It was a clear day. Lots and lots of people. There was a weekend BAZAAR happening there with stuff being sold at a cheaper price. It was indeed a feast for the eyes with almost anything being sold there. Kindy of reminded me of Pertaling St.
I saw something interesting that caught my attention. A stall was selling Singapore Rojak. Since when there is a rojak called Singapore Rojak ? hmmm...
The tour at "Jln Masjid India" took about almost 3hrs and it was time to head back to our RHQ (Radius Headquaters).
As usual, we had our afternoon cocktail at the VIP lounge before heading back to our respective rooms. No dinner outing again as The MOMs are tired so me and wifey decided to roam around Jln Bukit Bintang ourselves. The weekend there is so happening at Jln Bukit Bintang with live band performance along the streets, night bazaar, foot massage, strip clubs, eehh sorry, mistook KL for Bangkok.
After much walking, me & wifey decided to settle for a KFC dinner before heading back to our hotel. Checkout the CHICK..err I mean the chicken..
