Growing up in a chinese family, Genting Highland is a hot spot for holidays. Well, those were the days my sister would bring me around play with rocking pirate machines or merry-go-round. Then, the high speed and impact bumper car.

During the teenage years, friends would go all the way just to enjoy coffee in cool weather. Now?

Fly~!!!

Well, it is a sky diving simulator…I never thought I’d play with it coz I don’t see a point of being blown by a huge air ventilator. But after trying it… RM 50 (hotel guest)/ RM 80 (normal) is totally worth it! For the first time in life, I AM FLYING, for real!

Tips: Keep your mouth shut at all times when you’re in the vent. =D

 

Eat~!!!

The Bakery – Right next to the entrance of Maxims (used to be Hotel Genting)

Recommendation:

Genting grown vegetable – Baby Honey Salad is the best.

Genting Garden grown vegetable – Baby Honey Salad RM 9Fruit tart is not to be missed as well. RM 9

Coffee Terrace – Next to The Bakery

A style that suits every category from 7 years old to 70 years old…Buffet!

All sorts of food – Local, Japanese, English, Korean, International.

Okonomiyaki – Japanese pancake with meat, soba, egg, sprouts, special sauce! It is as good as those I tasted in okonomiyaki specialty stores.

Not forgetting the most famous dish of all times. Hainan Chicken Rice.

Stay~!!!

First World Hotel – Deluxe Room, Theme Park view. Looking at the park alone got me excited to get myself onto the rides, Corkscrew especially!

Watch~!!!

One day of the year, all workers get celebrated…Well, students with part time job like me also tumpang holiday.

Yeay, cheers for those who worked hard throughout the year!!!Fireworks display for about 10 mins starting 11.45pm 30/4/09 at the open carpark in front of Maxims and Highland Hotel.

Of course, the highlight of this trip was the Dreamz, the only show on earth which brings white lion, white tiger and white cub. 

The very playful white cub Well, it is not the first time I watch this show but I still find it amusing.

Aerous – the white lion licked on my hand. Yup, I’m very lucky. David, the trainer was there feeding him and I was playfully hitting its paw. Obviously, my hand is more appealing than the red meat. =P

Not much pictures on the second day cause I fell sick. Constance and Daniel had to carry me to the car. Sigh…next time maybe.

Conclusion

What? I need a break from the hot city
