A holiday Part 2

Cont'd

Having eaten the expensive Wanton Mee, walked around abit before heading to the lobi to wait for our number to be flashed on the display board. Finally, the number was flashed and we approach the counter to find out that I was required to produce a hotel voucher so that they can process the check in procedure. Not having the voucher, called the agent and soon was settled and proceed to the room where we rest a while and went down to explore the new and cold environment. Walked around the lobi and saw the internal roller coaster, monorail (caterpillar style). First we went to the Ripley;'s Believe It or not to look at the amazing and bazaar stuff that Ripely has collected and experienced. About 30mins or so, the walk was over and we proceed over to the amusement park/ entertainment centre where the all ages ppl was battling their wits out with the machine to get the most number of tickets. We tried a few games before finding the comfort one which we played to get us 769 tickets. This can be addicted when one sets the eye on the type of soft toy that one wans.
Iris actually wanted to get the soft toy which will cost 2500 tickets to redeem. But having seen that the amount of money spend of getting the tickets is not worth buying one of the shelf, so we settled with the number of tickets which we have and exchanged for 2 cups with the Genting logo on them. Before leaving the entertainment centre, I went to the enterance where I took a number of shots of the Genting logo among the nite and foggy background. Took me a while before i got a shoot. Apparently, the shot I took was quite similar to that of the postcard which we happen to came across on the last day of our trip. After the shoot, we went to have our dinner where we have Fried Kwey Teow, Laksa and mix fruit juice. Food is extremely expensive at such place I say. Well, after that we browsed through the shops around the hotel before heading back to the room to put down our stuff and proceed to the Casino to have a feel and view of wat it is like.
While in the Casino, was the most embarrassing moment. Changed Rm10 chip and placed Rm5 on the table when the min bet on the table is Rm20. So 'malu', then a uncle then ask me to pass my chips to him and he added his onto it and place the bet but did not win.
But it was a good exposure. Too smoky though.
After which we went to take a rest as the next day we going to KL for shopping and visting KLCC.

20th Sept 09

Had a late breakfast. The crowd is huge, its like the ocean of ppl all flooding into the cafe for the breakfast buffet. The morning air was cool and was a good weather for some shoot of the surroundings.
We went ahead to take the public transport down to KL which took about an hour or so. Reach the terminal, took train to KLCC and then took some day shot of the Petronas Tower before heading out again to KL Sentra where we took the train to MidValley MegaMall. Man was the train slow and packed. Can see that Iris was not that happy with the transport. At the megamall, walked around and did the window shopping.
After having our lunch there and visited the pet station on the same level as the food court. There are so many species of animals ranging from, rabbits, Chinchillas, Ferrets, Parie Dogs, Iguanas, Spiders , hedgehog, fishes, dogs and birds.
From there we headed towards, Sungei Wang which is the KL Far East Plaza. Went there and shop around and found the shop which I came across quite some time back which sells BB guns. But unable to buy and bring back to Singapore. Walked around and went to a shop which sells some dresses where Iris bought a dress.
After we walked over to Berjaya Time Square where there is an indoor roller coaster within the mall and hotel together as one.
After that we went to KLCC again to have our dinner and also to shoot the night view of KLCC. KLCC at night was lighted up and making it ever so silvery. Took a couple of shoots, since there I din bring my tripod down, I have to use my backpack to act as a temporary one and the outcome is nice.
Then was the ride back to the terminal to take the bus ride back to Genting highland. I believed that the bus driver must have been in the F1 race before as he is making full use of the bus full potential.Swirling in and out of the lane really gave us an experience of our life.
Went back and rest as the next day is our check out day. we roam round the indoor theme park before heading to the bus which will bring us back to Singapore.

Overall was a wonderful experience at Genting together with Iris.
