Genting Trip 2010 (Part 1)

*IMAGE-HEAVY*

I don't always blog about my overseas travels (Europe, Japan, China, etc) as I feel it is rather tedious to a certain extent., especially if it involves sieving through all the photos I took and posting only some of them. But I will try to, in time to come... Even if it means being as slow as a snail... Or maybe even if a snail makes its way round the globe once, I may not even be done blogging about all the trips! :p So basically, I'll try. Since my Genting trip was only a three-days affair, so it is far more easy to blog about it. So here goes...


I decided to take a short trip to Genting. We made a last-minute booking just one week before we went off. And I was glad we managed to get a room at the hotel which we intended to stay at.


I booked my 3D/2N Free and Easy package via Heart Travel Pte Ltd, one of the few agencies under WTS Travel & Tours. I chose WTS as there are many pick-up points available around Singapore. Of course, there are other travel agencies that also offer Genting packages. But I chose Heart Travel to book my Genting trip as this travel agency is a social enterprise - Doing their bit for community while applying market-based strategies.

Leaving for Genting from Singapore in the early morning.

The coach that I took was the 24-seaters CEO Platinum Cruiser. Apparently, the seats are all allocated, so passengers cannot choose the seats. I was lucky to be given the first rows as I have plenty of leg room that I could even prop my legs up, as seen in the photo above.


After passing the Malaysian custom, a Malaysian guide boarded the coach and did a little bit of talking, etc. I wished she talked lesser cos I really wanted to sleep. There was the usual rest point halfway through the journey to Genting Highlands. After a few hours, we finally reached the First World Terminal!

The Deluxe Room of the Resort Hotel.
A 4-star hotel in Genting Highlands.

We booked a deluxe room at the Resort Hotel. The check-in at the counter was efficient and without any hassle. I liked the room when I first entered it... Not too bad, I would say. The toilet has a separate shower stall with an overhead rain shower head (I like!). The king-sized bed was pretty comfortable too. However, bath towels and floor towel were missing and I had to wait for an hour for them to be sent to the room. Apparently, I was told that the hotel ran out of bath towels. (-_-)

Munch time at Marrybrown. Missed the chickens!

At First World Indoor Theme Park

We also went to watch the 'Haunted House' 4D mini movie.
But I still prefer my 'Pirates' 4D experience in Sentosa.

Fog at night

But not as foggy as compared to those days...

So ghostly...

When I saw this pic after taking, I thought it reminds me of 海派甜心 (one of my faves).

Not that I am anywhere near her talent or beauty.... :)
