Ho-kay..so we arrived at the Skyway station in Genting. If you haven't read the first part of this trip, click HERE.




Dunno-what hotel...too misty to see- Originally uploaded by tsencai.


K3-ians on the move - Originally uploaded by tsencai.

We headed straight for the outdoor theme park since thats where we plan to spend our whole time there. Click on the above image for a larger view - you can see the K3-ians walking. The fella in white is Kwee.


Guess what i spotted at the carpark :)

Well, it's something you don't get to see everyday. Nice car tho :) I spotted it at the carpark outside the Hotel Highlands.

Main Entrance - Originally uploaded by tsencai.

Somewhere we're going to spend our whole time at while we're at the peak. An adult ticket costs 36bux for a whole day entry. I guess it ain't so bad. It's been aeons since my last visit to the Genting outdoor park. But i stil remember my last visit to Genting.... O_o

So, while waiting for our tickets...Patrick decides to entertain KweeJin..It's some joke he brought back from Adelaide.


Patrick: Come let me tell you this riddle..

Kwee: ok...

Patrick: Gimme your hand...

Kwee:: ok...

Patrick: (Touching and feeling Kwee's hand) Ok y'see..there's this boy and a girl. They're separated by this river kays...

Kwee: ok...

Patrick: (Continues to feel Kwee's hand) This river is flowing very strongly. And the boy wants to reach this girl..how does he reach the girl?

Kwee: Um..dunno?

Patrick: Give up so fast? Think lame...

Kwee: Um..boy goes underneath the river and reaches the girl (refers to the boy going underneath the palm and reaches the girl)

Patrick: Nope...

Kwee: Um..boy jumps across river?

Patrick: Nope..

Kwee: Aye dunno lar..how?

Patrick: Actually.. i also dunno..

Kwee: ??

Patrick: I just wanted to touch your hand thats all :)

All: ...............

As clearly depicted in the picture above, that's when Patrick was telling Kwee his "joke". Freaking GAY wei.. well no comment on that.. i wonder if all people from Adelaide are like that...

My Outdoor pass - Originally uploaded by tsencai.

So, we got our tickets and made it inside...


First look - Originally uploaded by tsencai.

Being in Genting since a very long time..feels...funny? I don't know..i think most of the stuff look the same. Our first attraction we sat was...


Some flying chairs thingy..forgot wutcha callit. - Originally uploaded by tsencai.

Second attraction to go was the first rollercoaster built in M'sia. The queue was rather long...so...

..more random photos while we wait for our turn. ..

Us trying to look cool- Originally uploaded by tsencai.


Very soon Patrick decides to dominate the possession of my camera and begins his attempt at camwhoring...



Uh.. - Originally uploaded by tsencai.


Hum... - Originally uploaded by tsencai.


Joe decides to join Patrick's session w/ the cam - Originally uploaded by tsencai.


Making full use of my cam;



It gets rather misty at random times - Originally uploaded by tsencai.


Very misty..thats the SpaceShot (aka SoleroaShot last time) on the right - Originally uploaded by tsencai.




Our turn at the ride; front row - Kirsty and Aaron and behind - Kwee and SerYoong - Originally uploaded by tsencai.


After the ride.. i got hungry..so i went to get some food. Went to one of them set-up stalls..and i should've foresaw ther mad pricing.

SMALL cup of milo ais = RM5.00
2 SMALL pcs of pancake = RM4.50

It's totally ridiculous man. They may as well rob us on the spot. Talk about monopolistic pricing... but i was unusually hungry at that time, so don't really have a choice. It hurts to fork out that kind of money for really small portions of food.



Gang eating, and somewhat found something amusing to look at - Originally uploaded by tsencai.


After our short meal we walked around aimlessly and by the time we know it, we're in front of the go-kart attraction entrance.


Go Kart Arena - Originally uploaded by tsencai.

So, yea why not - we gave it a go though the queue is ridiculously long. We waited for at least an hour before it's turn.



Karts in place - Originally uploaded by tsencai.




Something for Nothing - Originally uploaded by tsencai.


Click on the image above for a larger view. They have clauses everywhere man. I think they're afraid that someone might die o' something then later kena sued.


What's a Peckless driver? - Originally uploaded by tsencai.

What's a PECKLESS driver? Besides all the singboards al around us to be careful, cautious etc etc while on the go-kart, we had to sign a clause that states that Genting will not be responsible for bla bla bla whatsoever injury and stuff like that. See the image bleow -->


Clauses.. - Originally uploaded by tsencai.


We even had to go through a briefing. Yup, they even had a briefing room. In the briefing, we're told about where is the brake..the accelerator..all the bla bla nonsense that we've known of since we all know how to DRIVE. haha... :)

I heard there were even accidents in the go-kart arena. Farny huh. Wondered how those accidents can happen. Their engines look like the ones you find on lawn-mowers; that means they can't really go that fast.

ChoongKhin's so lucky - Originally uploaded by tsencai.


And so..an hour or so worth of wait and only 5 minutes of go-karting. Hmm..

Next up... Genting's just-in, fresh and latest attraction..



Flying Coaster - Originally uploaded by tsencai.


Yea it so brand new and fresh, you have to pay 10bux per ride! It's called the Spider-man but i think they should've called it Superman.



Spider-man? - Originally uploaded by tsencai.


So whats this Flying Coaster thing? Basically the seated position on this roller-coaster is different. Instead of the usual sitting down thing, what you have here, is that you lie down on your belly, hence thats why i think they should've called it Superman instead of Spiderman.



FlyingCoaster awaits next round - Originally uploaded by tsencai.


The stupid ride costs 10bux! Pain..jsut because its new they had to charge it at some supernormal price. Anyhow, i didn't go for the ride but the others did...

360' twist - Originally uploaded by tsencai.



Next attraction on our list - the corkscrew. This time everyone was on in this one. Initially i didnt't want to be on this one cause i'm afraid of all these topsy-turvy twist-loopy kind of coaster but i was forced on this one :( but in the end, it was fun man :) But you would never...ever...catch me on this next ride..




Spaceshot aka "Soleroshots" - Originally uploaded by tsencai.

No way man you'll catch me on that. Only Kirsty, Patrick, Kwee, Joe and Ghee were willing to queue up for that. AhFai, Aaron, CHoongKhin and I backed out.


After at least half an hour of queueing up...

Patrick expresses his regret on the ride - Originally uploaded by tsencai.


Joe too, expresses his regret on the ride. Ghee looks bored... - Originally uploaded by tsencai.


No.1 reason i'm not going on that - Originally uploaded by tsencai.


Seeing them go being tossed up and down on that machine makes me nauseous already. After the ride it was already 4.45pm or so..and our bus ride home is at 5.30pm..and that means we still have to take the cable car back to the bus station.


First World - Originally uploaded by tsencai.

Most of us were hugnry cause we skipped lunch, so we just ran into some random restaurant, and we random-ed some penang kopitiam kind of restaurant. There, i had the most expensive HOT chinese tea ever.. i don't have to elaborate on whatever i ate there. Go to Genting, and you'll know the power of monopoly pricing.

And so, after our meal we rushed off straight to the cable car station. It was already 5.15pm that time..and we hadn't even take the cable car ride down to meet our bus ride at 5.30pm. zZz..confirm cannot make it la. We'd have to makedue with the 6.00pm bus. Once again this proves that punctuality is K3's downfall.


We're leaving! - Originally uploaded by tsencai.


From the inside...- Originally uploaded by tsencai.


Going Home... - Originally uploaded by tsencai.


And so..as predicted, we only reached the bus station at around 5.45p, adn that means we late for the 5.30pm bus. haha..lucky there was still enough space in the 6.00pm bus. SO we hitched a ride on that bus and finally made it back to KL Sentral.

Went home to drop off some stuff and then proceeded to dinner @ Asia Kafe. s' been a whle since i last ate there.


Turns out Genting wasn't so bad after all :) At least i went there for a purpose; unlike the last time i went there.
