Genting Day 1
Woke up at 5.25am on Sunday morning to get ready for the trip to Genting. Reached Boon Lay at 6.50am. My cousin's family of 4 (Mt Aunt, her husband, Li Xin & Ming Jian) and my family of 5 board the 5 Star bus. It was the bus that is advertised on TV saying that there is mini TV, game and massaging seats. Well, there's TV but with NO earpiece. There's NO game at all, NO massaging seats. It was so disappointing. The bus then proceed to Tuas Checkpoint, where we were stuck in the jam for more than 1 hour. it was raining at that time.It was several hours later when we finally got through Singapore's and Malaysia's Checkpoint. About 1 hour later, the bus stopped at a place called 'Yong Peng'. The toilet there was so rundown and dirty. Regarding the food there, there wasn't much to choose from. I ended up with a plate of roasted chicken rice. The taste of it wasn't nice. I didn't finish it. I bought a giantic big chicken pau to bring up to the bus. The taste of it was totally disgusting. This chicken pau got bones. What the heck ? Yucks ... After another journey of more than 2 hours, the bus stopped for a toilet break at a petrol station.After another hour of journey, we reached the bottom of the mountain. As the bus was going up, my ears were suffering from the high air pressure. There were mist everywhere. It was hard to see the road in front, so the driver drove slowly. We reached at around 2 plus in the afternoon. The hotel hall was damn packed with people, all queuing up to check in. In the event of waiting, I went to get a waffle. There was this auntie, in her mid-fifties cutting my queue. I told her 'I was here first !' in both Chinese and English, but she just could not understand. She just kept Blabbering in cantonese.We checked in at 5.30pm, we proceed to our rooms on at Level 1. I was quite disappointed when i learnt that our rooms were at Level 1. Level 1 is the only level with rooms that are linked. My family booked 2 rooms that has a door to link up at the middle. (I don't know how to describe) My cousin's family booked a room just beside ours. My mother, sister and I shared a room, whereas my Father and brother shared another. After unpacking, we took turns to shower. Then we meet up with my cousin's family for dinner. We walked for quite a distance before queuing up at 'Coffee Terrace' for buffer. It was RM$50 plus for adult dinner. it was a long queue before we were led into the restaurant to a round sofa table. Then we proceed separately to get our own food. The restaurent was so big that we have to walk a distant just to get a little of each food. There were sections for Nyonya, Indian, Western, Japanese, Chinese Section. It was close to 10pm when we leave the restaurant. We were so bloated that we could not walk much. So, we returned to our hotel rooms. We retired at around 11.30pm. My sister and I were so afraid of the dark that we left the lights on. And this irratates my mum. I fall asleep at 12 plus, woke up at 2 plus, slept again , woke up at 6.55am. We went for breakfast at around 9am, as we have to wait for our cousin's family ... (they are used to waking up late)
