Get-a-way to Genting

Was looking forward to this short break after all the hassle I had went through in my work place and the congested lifestyle recently. Not only to relax myself in the resort but also would like to try my luck striking jackpot or doubled my capital of few hundred bucks to few thousands!!
Easy to say..but I really desperately need additional tax exempted income like wins from gambling to lighten up my current credits..And my all time favourite Chanel tote bag!! I am so in love with that....

Ok, so we plan to get up early in the morning and on the go before we were caught in the traffic. Everyone saying it was a bad idea going up to Genting during this Labour Day break as this highland will be mounted with people and rubbish! But too bad..I already paid for the room rate. Nothing much can be done to change our plan.

As always, things do not workout as planned!
After karaoke and mahjong at Jane's the night before, and my self indulgence on my favourite tv dramas..I only slept at 3 in the morning. So by the time I opened my eyes, it was already 1030 morning. Getting ready was another hassle for me. So another hour was spent.

After rushing to fill up our stomachs and filling up our car, we manage to get on the road by 11.30 morning..The traffic did not surprise us at all as we already expected for such a long awaiting line of cars going up the highland!

We reached awana by 12.00 and thank goodness, they allowed us to check in early as that. As usual, check in queue was damn long and by the time we got our room is already 1.00 afternoon.

The hotel provides free shuttle bus to skyway (the cable car) and the ride was free for skyway too. So we decided to try out the cable car ride. The queue was extremely long..again, the ride which was suppose to take 15 minutes took us an hour before we can got up the highland.

Our stomach already growling and we decided to save the Ah Yat for dinner. So we opt for this Shanghai restaurant which suppose to serve Shanghai delights..Nah..food sucks and extremely pricey! Should opt for McD instead.

Next, we should be filling up our wallet and purse. So we tried our luck in casino. As expected, when we come out, we are hundred bucks lighter. Damn!

So we should be doing something thats provide joy and yet worth paying! Which are the video games!!!! Ghost squad, Daytona, Time Crisis and Photo Hunt. We spent quite some time at the video game zone though! Then, we decided to take a bite from Baskin..As we were tired of walking, we decided to have a cheap karaoke session which provides really cheap and tasteless dinner.

Since we were tired of walking all day, we decided to head back to our resort and call it a day.

Never in my life again to take a cable car alone in Genting!!!!!
It was like a nightmare or in those creepy horror movie scene or the sci fi ones!
The night was quiet but filled with crickets and bugs buzzing..
There was no light in the cable car itself which send chills down to our spine..
Thank God we had another couple behind us!

We reached back to resort safe and sound..took a hot bath and crawl back to bed.

The next day, we basically tuned ourselves into slow motion mode. We had a moderate but sumptious buffet breakfast..a short nap before refreshed ourselves in the shower. Headed back to home.

We were exhausted from the journey though we did not do much.

So we had a nap again...filled our full weekend with tv juices, take-away foods, video games and sleeps.

Now feel recharged and in a very active mode.

Skipping work in the weekends are well paying off right now!
So gotta pen off and return back to my over loaded work load before my boss starts yelling at us again!!!
