chilling in GentinG

Once upon a Labour's Day, i was stuck in what felt like a scorching hot oven the size of KL city. So i decided to gather my bestie, Yin... and a couple of other 'labourers'...(hee)

Mark & Moon pulls off their 'coool look'

for a road trip...

Behold the 'Floating Water Pipe'(!)

to the City of Entertainment G-e-n-t-i-n-G!

It's been ages since my last trip here and where better to cool down and enjoy the chilly air if not in Genting, right?In memory of the late Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong, there is now a gallery dedicated to him where we can now read about his life achievements (not that I read la :P)

and be awed by the awards and recognition received throughout the establishment of this golden empire.

Look who even made it to this gallery...it's KiMi Raikkonen!

KiMi's handwriting is soooo similar to mine... *wink*

Lookie, I got a free pass to all-park!

We covered the outdoor theme park first as the morning was simply tooo lovely to spend indoors.

See what I mean? It doesn't look sunny at all! aaahh this is the 'natural' air-conditioning we all need in KL...

Introducing siu V's ...

Scary Ride No 1 -

Scary Ride No. 2 -

Scary Ride No 3 -

And when i say 'Scary Ride', i reallly mean scaaaary ride!!

And obviously i stayed far far away from those heart stopping, life-sucking hell machines!!
Dare me to do something else like... eat worms?

This was something new for me...Beryl's Chocolate Wonderland.

Nowhere near Charlie's Chocolate Factory (go read Roald Dahl!), it would really be something if this place was flowing with streams of real chocolate syrup and everything was made of real chocolate.

On second thought, probably not in Malaysia,

or else everybody would be doing this...

My favourite was the Teacup! Spin me round and round, you'll never see me down.We must be feeling 'old' coz we even went on the Antique Car!

Feel even 'older'? Take the Ferris Wheel then.

Soft toys you can win at the fun fair section. Luckily they looked 'cheap', otherwise I'll be buying token after token and playing like nobody's business.

The boat ride's pretty fun too! Best thing was there's no time limit so you can pedal till the sun goes down or till your legs get tangled in knots from pedaling too much.

And knowing us, it soon became a version of Bumper Boat.

Group take - the wacky version

Group take - the serious version

It was so misty come night time, our pictures turned out like this.

Fooling around

Mark trying to be funny (and friendly) with his new buddy

Somewhere indoors, I came across this ad at this booth. If only I had bought their cookies to see how it can make me 'more feminine'.

You can't say you've been to Genting without stepping into their Casino.

I'm always curious what car they were giving out for the Jackpot.

Wow, I can just picture me driving around in one of these babies.

ouuh! Lady Luck wasn't with me that night as I lost 100 bucks in 'Sin City'.

Another bonus for the night was watching (and sorta learning) the guys play pool in the Genting Recreational Clubhouse (for staff only, mind you)

Thanks to Hwee Nee (I hope I got the name right) who is Mark's baby sista!

She's the cutie beside Moon. See the resemblance? (not really..haha)
