Trip of the Fellowships - Genting Highland 2009

It's been a long time that we did not have outing in a group of friends. We have decided to go Genting Highland for a short trip. All together we have 10 people for the trip. The trip members are: Suer Harn, Geok Shang, Pui Chien, Shen Ngin, See Chiek, Sek Hoe, Meng Tat, Jian Jun, Connie and me.

We boarded the 707 coach bus and left Melaka to Genting at 10.30am. We reached First World Hotel at about 2pm.

Having obtained our booking queue number, we wandered around First World Hotel and end up have lunch at Mcdonalds while waiting for our turn to check in.

After the lunch it was photo shooting time...

Luckily, we managed to get 3 rooms for 10 ppl with a promotion rate although we just had only 2 coupons with us. The 3 girls shared 1 room, whereas Mengtat, Sekhoe, Jianjun and me got into one room; Puichien, Shenngin and Seechiek got into another room.

We placed all our belongings into our room, and then we went "money hunting" a.k.a. gambling. My luck is not bad, won rm30. Enough to pay for connie's and my lunch in McD just now.

After that, we had our dinner at Lao Di Fang, one of the cafe near casino. The food quality is moderate and it came at a high price. I had an economy rice whereas Connie had a chicken rice. 2 plates of this cost us ~RM25. Freakingly expensive!

We went back our room for some well deserved rest. At about 9pm, we came out strolling around highlands. Thanks to Geokshang whom worked in Genting before, she brought us to a park where right in front of Resort Hotel and we could see the whole Kuala Lumpur scenery. What a sight to behold!


The scenery of Kuala Lumpur. Brilliant!


Feeling cold, we got back to our hotel wishing to have some drink at Starbucks but it was crowded with people. Thus, we just had some hot drink inside the casino and grabbed a supper in one of the cafe located in the lobby of First World Hotel. Feeling tired, we were off to bed at abt 12 midnight.

Woke up at 7am in the morning, after brushing up, we had our breakfast at Old Town Cafe. After the breakfast, we went to one of the Botanical Garden near First World Hotel.



At the Botanical Garden. Guess which is my leg?

Proud to be MMUians..

We are above the clouds..

Not forgetting to snap a pic with First World Hotel.

After that, we had a bowling game. Let's see who had the good skills to be the highest ranking among us. The result turned out to be Seechiek was the best bowler, whereas I am the "best" bowler counting from the back. :P Lady luck was not on my side, I had a great start folks. :P

Time flies and it reached lunch time again, we had our lunch at Hou Mei Restaurant. Having chosen this place as we had a 30% discount coupon. The food here is better compared to the one we had yesterday.



After the lunch, it was time to head home. Boarded the coach at 3pm, we left Genting Highlands to Melaka. Feeling tired, but anyway, it was an enjoyable trip to go with my friends.
