KL TRIP (3rd Day)

Woke up at 8.30 am as and we were about to go Genting! I've never been to Genting before and it was my first time going there. We took cabs to the nearby bus interchange to buy bus tickets as the genting bus counter was closed when the 4 of them arrived there yesterday night. The 11 am bus ride was sold out and we were left with 12 noon bus ride. We decided to take cabs up to Genting instead. Took a picture of Petronas Twin Towers along the way there.

After around 1 and a half hour, we finally reached Genting Highlands.

Grand entrance, eh? The air is indeed very cooling and the winds are rather strong. Passed by the cable car station on the way to the theme park.

The indoor theme park is infused with a shopping centre.

We purchased the outdoor theme park tickets which is 34 RM per pax. Took several pictures outside.



The rides were not as many and as exciting as we expected though. There were too many people queuing for the rides and we had to wait a long time for each ride. The rollercoaster ride was also a disappointment as well. The theme park is visibly old just by looking at the dull and worn out gold carts and the seats for certain rides. We only tried 50% of the rides there as we were too impatient to wait around 50 minutes for the more popular rides like the vertical drop and gold cart.

The amazing thing about Genting is that we are actually in the clouds. See this picture for evidence.

The vertical drop was suspended for a short while coz the clouds had enveloped the whole structure.

We spent around 2 hours in the outdoor theme park before getting indoor for lunch at Kenny Rogers. There wasn't much shopping at Genting since the outlets were not a lot. Headed back via cablecar and minibus. Took some pictures in the cablecar.

Passed by Batu Caves along the way to KL.

We stopped at Megamall (biggest mall in KL) for another round of shopping. Split into several groups and prowled the shops for good bargains. Quite a lot of my friends bought Levis jeans as they said it is cheaper by at least $20 in KL.

Guess what? Penny Tai is holding a mini concert at Megamall at night! There was quite a long queue outside an exhibition hall waiting for Penny's concert. We had dinner at the food court and decided to take a peek outside the exhibition hall since the people have already entered the hall. The security guards gestured for all of us to go in and we were rather pleased that we are able to enter without tickets. There were quite a lot of people inside but the hall was very big and it was only half filled. It was my first time seeing one of my favourite female chinese singers live. Took some pictures of her as well.

We stayed for only 20 mins as most of my classmates did not listen to her songs. They were playing some games with the audience and i only listened to Penny's live rendition of "Jie Jiao De Xing Fu".

We headed to Chinatown next for more shopping! Bought a few tees and a sweater there. Starting to feel the end of KL trip drawing near.
