Genting Trip, 25th October

|

Went to Genting on Friday, 25th October 2008 with Axon Colleagues. It's been a long time since I've been there (last time I went there was 20 years ago). The road leading up to Genting was so misty/foggy that you can't see beyond five metres. Luckily, Lee Wen is a reliable driver. The family suite at Theme Park Hotel where we stayed was quite big so there wasn't any need for me to use the sleeping bag I brought along.

In the evening, we went for the 'Motion Master' ride. For those unfamiliar with this 'ride', this involves participants sitting in seats that move in accordance with the movie on screen . Unfourtunately, I think we chose the wrong time because the short movie on screen was 'Alice In Wonderland' and the graphics are worse than Playstation (the first one). The seats also didn't move a lot since 'Alice in Wonderland' ain't really that scary to begin with (PG-13 below). Haih...never mind, just scream for the heck of it.

Watched 'Bangkok Dangerous' that night. The movie's summary:
  1. Plot: Assassin for hire tries to leave his career. Things don't work out too well along the way. Transformation of character as Mr. Cage changes from a cold-blooded killer to a killer who's jiwang.
  2. The Good: A lot of things blow up and a lot of people get shot in the movie, nice river drive-by shooting scene.
  3. The Bad: Too many things get blown up, the ending is not so great.
  4. The Ugly: Nicolas Cage's hairstyle
Next day, some of us went for the theme park rides. The Go-Kart's speed was albeit slow, I think anyone can outpace it. Everyone going for Go-Kart has to wear those shower caps. Maybe the helmets have mites or something. Got a variety of rollercoasters and rides in Genting but the queue for the good ones are too long (very lazy to queue, so long...afraid I will collapse).

Went back to KL at around 1600HRS. Lee Wen is a very good driver, most of the passengers managed to fall asleep.....zzzzzzzzzz.

Honourable mentions:
  1. Timothy (booking the rooms and the spirit of the Genting trip)
  2. Pui Leng (having a cool set of glasses/eating the most amount of Cheezels)
  3. Ida (for sleeping during the movie)
  4. Lee Wen (for being a Pemandu Berhemah)
  5. Tuck Loon/WS (photographers)
  6. Tong (being able to sleep soundly without any pillow or blanket)

Lol! Love your review of the movie. Guess I won't be watching it.

20 years since the last time you were in Genting. How old are you? 46? ;)
