"Genting 2006 - K3 Reunite"

"Genting 2006 - K3 Reunite"



K3 2005 - Originally uploaded by tsencai.


Rarely an occassion we get to see all the people we've missed and cherished at one point in our lives. Well this isn't the case within us K3-ians! (K3 - is my class for SAM in Taylors 2005)

A minority of my classmates are back for the semester break - ChorYeow is back from Melbourne, while Pornking Patrick has made his return. Due to their return, us the remaining local ones decided to organize a trip.

Our first idea was to head to Semenyih but in the end we finally agreed on Genting.

Genting - not exactly my favourite place. But since its for the sake of our gathering, i guess it would be great. That time (last visit to Genting) was maybe just the wrong company at the wrong time. Some people would know what i mean :)

So..we decided to rendezvous at the KJ LRT Station at 7.45am. And because we are Malaysians, we all finally got together in place only at 8.00am+. Typical.

We took the 9.30am bus to Genting. Our original plan was to take the 8.30am bus. Guess that didn't work. Kind of expected; us K3-ians aren't very organized people. But nevertheles, we made it on our first step.

The journey to the Genting Skyway station took about slightly less than an hour. I got bored during the journey so i took some random stuff -

Enjoy :)

About 45 minutes or so we finally reached phase 2 of our journey. Suppose to head immediately for the cable car ride up directly to Genting but once again, we got delayed.




The bus from KL Sentral - Originally uploaded by tsencai.









We had to wait for Kwee to arrive so that we could take the cable car together. Apparently all of us (K3-ians) have problems with punctuality so that's why we're always behind of schedule.

So..we waited ...and we got bored...

K3-ians don't smoke :) - Originally uploaded by tsencai.



Come to think of it, nobody in K3 2005 smokes. Quite amazing, isn't it? :) My highschool-mates during the last year in highschool were non-smokers but now turned smokers. My coursemates in VU smoke as if they were lollipops. I really find it quite amazing that my classmates back in SAM were totally non-smokers. That was the year where i'm able to eat out with my friends smoke-free.Kudos to all K3-ians :)

Anyway i was saying, we waited...

and finally managed to board phase 2 of our jounrey to Genting :)

Note to Kwee (if you ever read my blog): You gotta work on your punctuality :) But nvm la..that day was an exception :)

So we were on board the cable car..

More from what i see in the cabin -

Enjoy :)

It gets worse... - Originally uploaded by tsencai.



...and worse.. - Originally uploaded by tsencai.



...till its kinda freaky - Originally uploaded by tsencai.



..till Joe seems rather fascinated - Originally uploaded by tsencai.



Finally... - Originally uploaded by tsencai.



Reaching the peak - Originally uploaded by tsencai.


The ride took about 10-15 minutes. Apparently this is suppose to be the longest and largest cable-car ride in South-East Asia (I think). It stretches 3km+ over some forest which they claim to be a million years old? - well at least thats what they said in the signboards. Quite an amazing engineering feat., don't you think? :)

And so, our second and final phase of our journey is over. Genting, here we are :)

Look out for Part II of this post. Blogspot.com is lagging like mad due to te excessive amounts of photos uploaded onto a single post. This leaves me to put the other pictures onto a separate entry.
