WE HAVE ARRIVED AT GENTING HIGHLANDS after an excruxiating long car ride...

07:12am

settled down for breakfast...

we had Tim Sum... :)

a random taken by daddy...

Dallas is happy to be there! haha

taken by daddy - Dallas & Rayen, after tim sum-ing.

its nice to see half the building disappear into the clouds isn't it? :)

a huge moth on the glass...

the Outdoor Theme Park

the colorful First World Hotel.

we walked into the Indoor Theme Park and this is what i saw... cute huh! huge dougnuts!!

and this...

wow~ a big slice of watermelon~ haha

the Carousel aka the Merry-Go-Round relive your childhood! but i didnt take it. :)

as it was pretty early, there wasn't much peeps.

the "Eiffle Tower" in Genting. they kinda cant decide if they want it to be in Paris or Genting.

Dallas wanted to ride on the thing that goes around the "Eiffle Tower". :)

daddy looks stranded in Pari... er i mean Genting. lol...

this wasnt fast at all. in fact it was really.....slow.

hee hee, i thought we were in Venice for awhile. yea, AS IF!

honestly, those "people" rowing the boat looks kinda creepy. did i told you that they were fake?!

this ride here, is WAY slower than the caterpillar one that was above. seriously, if i were up on one of those, i think i'd get out and walk myself to the end.

ok, although its not real, at least they made it look REEL. thats good enough! lol at the "lover's bridge".

Dallas, Rayen & their mummy were on the Ferris Wheel.

Liberty going wild. haha

look at him, so happy taking the ride. apparently the ride is called "Ride around Paris", i was like, yea, right.

and mummy posed for her pic taken.

(below) Rayen & Dallas on the Carousel

i had quite a time with these signs, cos they were blinking...

the "Haunted Advantures" is a ride. who dares?

i guess this is the closest i go to Lady Liberty for now isn't it?

the face kinda creepy~! yikes!

hey... look what i've found. heehee. its actually "Padini & Co." lol... pea pea pea pea pea~~

can u see Jack from Nightmare Before Christmas dress as a pirate? ( in the middle!) cute huh! i was afraid the stallholder wouldnt like it so i took this pic from afar.

a random by me, i kinda like this. :)


10:26am

sat down for a cuppa, at "Coffee Bean", i had a Berry'd Treasure and a piece of Almond cookie. *slurp* ;)

Berry'd Treasure and Almond cookie

my shoes... :) u know, bored... :)

I WAS AT THE ACADAMY AWARDS! as if...

and i guess this is also the closest i can get to the Acadamy aka Oscar isn't it? sigh...

Maria Sharapova~

Superman? why "G"? is it instead of wearing "S" (for small) he's wearing "G" for giant?

oh! wait a minute! dont tell me, "G" for Genting?!! gotta be kidding me, thats a lame one! :S

up in the heavens~ haha. can u see the cable cars? can u imagine what a ride would it be, riding thru the clouds! :)
when i got there, i was like, "is this it?" "have we reached heaven?" haha

all thanks to us walking the wrong way, or else we couldnt have the chance to capture such nice shots of the scenery.

it was an amazing sight! to see cable cars suddenly appear thru the fog... haha

another moth, this time on the road. it seemed to have frozen...

up in the hills, there's actually people living there! i wonder if they're like hill billies or something... and how the hell they get down? bungee? parachute? slide? what?!

just looking at the fog/mist takes my breath away~

we've been walking uphill for some time now... since the first outdoor pic. *phew*

still quite a distant to go.

the beautiful view of the mountains~ :)

after that we reach the car park and getting ready to go downhill...

14:40pm

after a nice scenic "hike", on the mountains we head downhill... beautiful scenery all the way down. and i got it all down in cids and pics.

14:55pm

i just had a mind blowing experiance, literally! going downhill was so windy.

just now at the indoor theme park didnt get to play anything or ride anything actually but after Dallas's mom is done with her rides she peels (opps!) out the wrist tag and gave it to me! so of course, all i wanted the entire day was to ride the "Euro-express" again and i got to ride it 3 times with Rayen! :)

and i did something crazy. i video-ed my "journey" on the "Euro-express" hahaha and i love it!

on the way down...

15:00pm

we're experiencing difficulties with the car again. and its the tyre again! yes, the one that went flat and was replaced. and THE HORROR! apparently it wasn't screwed on tight enough! we heard sounds that we shouldnt be hearing from a car so we pulled over (like duh!) and they got it fixed in like 5 mins plus.

con't downhill-ing & "mind-blowing"...

Daryll actually wanted to changed seats with me but i refused, too good a chance to let go of. so im still in the window seat. (proud of it)

the scenery is incredible! amazing! air is fresh, cool, SO UP THERE! wee~

when i get my driver's liscence one day and get a car, i'll sure drive up there again!

15:00pm

it's been 24hrs plus since i last slept, but i aint sleeping! i refuse to! i wanna see the scenery!

15:17pm

imagine if we were to actually make our way down on foot! wow! the amount of land we'll cover and the scenery we experience!! WHOA!!

we stopped here to grab a bite... yes, its that "Shalala Coffee" place that we passed by earlier...

17:41pm

after pee and food, we are back on the road again.

it rained... they got out to grab more bites... and pump up the car more. i stayed in. why they could get so many bites and not get enough?
