Happy Moments

Me and mum went to Genting some few days back just for the sake of getting fresh air. It has been 3 years since my last visit. The cost for one night stay (with breakfast) is RM 38.88! Darn cheap for 2 persons! Of course, you can’t expect much of it except for some basic necessities provided by First World Hotel. This is also my first time staying in First World, which is known for its eerie stories. Well, I dun encounter any spirit or ghost over there, instead I hav a pleasant stay despite staying in their cheapest and lousiest room.

The cable cars that take visitors up to the peak of the highlands. So-called “longest and fastest in South East Asia”.
Nice view from my room window – Genting Theme Park!
What’s in my room?


The surrounding was misty and cold, night temperature was around 13-14 degree Celcius. Upon checking in, we went out to hunt look for dinner. Food isn’t cheap, whatever you are having there would cost you around 30-60% higher as compared to the city. We had gali mee (curry noodles) at some mini food court…Nothing can beat the satisfaction of having a bowl of hot and spicy noodles on a cold freezing evening!

The interior of the food court is very oriental, with old fashioned benches, wooden tables and Chinese lanterns.

Well, I like this most! I was hoping the string to loosen and seeing the chicken ass sit on someone’s head! *wicked laugh

Ok, enuff with my imagination!

Back to the photos...
Jars of 'tong sui' (above) and fruits (below)
After filling up our tummy, we went to casino and gamble! sight seeing and go back to our room for a good rest.
Ok lar, I admit that I went to casino but not for gambling ler…just looking around ;-)
The next day, we woke up early as not to miss out the sumptuous breakfast…

I had a lil’ bit of everything - nasi lemak, fried meehoon, sausages, omelettes, buns, local kuihs, cakes, porridges, salads, fruits…etc.
When it comes to buffet, I tend to over-eat, coz I dun get such chance at home. Oh so-full!

Some of the food I took… Porridges (above) and kuihs (below)
The healthy ones...
The oily and fattening ones…
And my favourites…
I had too much till I dun feel like eating for the next few days!



Overall, i m happy with the outing as i get to eat lotsa foods breathe fresh air and spent quality time with mum!

Happy - Happy Moments

Curry mee looks very small le...

The only gambling I do in the casino is slot machine la. But I always set an upper limit of how much I would lose, e.g. RM50 in Genting or $10 in Las Vegas. After losing that amount I would stop.

Black Jack as played in Genting has different rules, which put the guests at disadvantage. No fun la...
