This author is currently on hiatus for the ignoble cause of mugging. The public is advised to remain calm, as this routine protocol has been shown to have no effect on one's violent tendencies in 96% of cases.

Sorry for not updating for the past three days or so, was away in Genting but didn't have time to type out a blog post earlier, considering that we left at 4 in the morning, half-asleep...@_@ Unlike some frequent travellers, the last time i went up there was a few years ago, back in primary school i think. Not much seems to have changed since then though - although quite a lot of new rides at the theme park were opened up (damn height restrictions!) Did manage to try the Space Shot though, in which you're carried up this tall tower, and for those who don't already know...  ...you're left up there for around 10 seconds, which gives you just enough time to enjoy the view (provided there's no mist) and go, "Oh my god, what the hell am i doing up here?! It's so freaking high up, holy f-AAHHHHH" And then you're falling, you head feels like it's being ripped off, but then again, there's your neck and your hands which are gripping on bloody tight to the bar, you want to sream but your heart's stuck up your throat. And you're bounced up again before the cycle repeats a few more times. Gosh, after that, everything else - even the corkscrew thingy - seemed to give no kick. Guess there's a first for everything though, heh. Ah well, other than the theme park, there was really nothing much else to do other than eat and slack in the hotel room. Which was fully paid for thanks to my uncle's Genting Points - redeemable for most expenses - cos he's a Gold WorldCard VIP, okay! Yeah, he did win quite a bit at the casino too. How i wish i could enter the casino - it adds a whole new dimension of entertainment. Plus, no queues! So unlike the theme park, which is really nothing much after the first few trips and you get bored of it. (What it really lacks is a nice water park - the single flume ride and swimming pool doesn't count.) Sadly, it's still another 6 years before i hit the magical age of 21 - though it's only 3 years if i go for a cruise. And no, if you're wondering, i defnitely won't be going to the Singapore IR anytime in the near future, thanks to the one or two hundred "entrance fee". Damn, you could go up to Genting and gamble for an entire day with that cash. Now that this trip is over, it pretty much spells the end of the real holidays - these last two weeks will hafta be devoted to mugging, projects, homework and all that crap. Oh, and a bit of SCO too. Dang. =/ |
