2 Days, 1 Night at Genting

Went to Genting Highlands with my college mates and it's my first time going there with them (Usually, I go with my family). We went there by bus and when come to think about it, it's quite fun. We even brought lots of food along (mainly junk food) and we kept eating in the bus although some of us slept. Well, I did not sleep because basically, I was very excited. We reached Genting in an hour time and of course, the first thing that we did was to check in at Ria Apartment. To keep it short, after checking in and rested for a short while, we walked up (around 10 mins) to the top of the hill where all the main attraction was situated.

Our first activity actually was to play at the outdoor theme park but due to the bad weather, it's closed. As a result, we spent mostly our time indoor and that's when a few of my friends and I decided to get into the Haunted Adventure (some went for movie). It's pretty scary and you wouldn't wanna know what I did inside. I guess it's not the human ghosts that scared me, but eventually, I was the one who scared them haha...Apart from that, we also spent out time playing pool and hey, my team won non-stop. Honestly, I suck at pool but when we kept winning, they joked that I brought luck to them. Oh well, whatever.... haha!

And after all that and a late lunch, we walked back to the apartment to refreshed ourselves and by the time we reached, it's already 7- something pm. We had dinner (some of them cooked while I prepared sandwishes for them- you should know I know nothing about cooking) and it's enjoyable to have dinner together. For the first time, I had such a big appetite that I finished everything on my plate although it's damn spicy. After dinner, we played Blackjack and I lost RM1. One of my friends said we were very stingy for playing few cents but hey, we just wanted to save for the big thing at the casino ;)

At around 11:15pm, we walked up to the main casino. I was highly excited and when the security guard checked me for my ID, I showed it to him with "pride" :P Anyway, I went in and one of my friends explained to me about some of the gambling games. I wanted to play Blackjack but there were so many people, packed like sardine (all mainly aunties and uncles) so I changed my mind. I then played the slot machine and I lost RM10. One of my guy friends played Roulette and he lost RM30. Well, I gotta say there wasn't any luck so we went to another casino which was situated at First World.

The Casino at FW was great and I liked the environment compared to the main one. Again, I thought of playing BJ but changed my mind after my friend told me the 'big & small' was much easier to play. So, I played it with rm50 and the next thing I knew, I won RM100! I was really happy because it's my first time entering the casino and I won (although the amount was not much). After that, we just walked away and went to Starbucks and at that time, it was already 2.30am (on Monday). And by the time all of us got back to the apartment, it's at 4am.

And to keep it short, on Monday noon, after we checked out, we wanted to play at the Theme Park but changed our mind again so we spent our time playing pool + shopping (didn't buy anthing though). And after walking around and relaxing for a few hours, we decided to go back to KL and by the time I reached home, it's quite late and I was so damn exhausted. After I sent the last SMS to my Special, I fell asleep.

Overall, I gotta say I enjoyed myself lots and for the next post, I'll be posting about what we really encountered or experienced.
