Hi! I am updating my "spider web" infested blog! I will first talk about my Genting trip.



The hotel check-in process was terrible and there wasn't any instructions on checking-in at the huge lobby of the hotel. The information counter was empty and all I see when I first arrive at the hotel is a long queue which lead to a counter with the sign "PLEASE TAKE A NUMBER TO CHECK-IN". Any English educated person will of cause wait in the queue. After waiting 20 minutes in the queue, I was simply told: "You and go to the hotel counter to collect your keys." I was like 'WHAT THE HELL! I WAITED 20 MINUTES FOR NOTHING!' That's not all! I have to wait another 10 minutes until the hotel finally process everything and hand me the key! The lady serving us was taking her own sweet time and even chatting with her colleagues before handing me the keys! What a shitty hotel! By the way, the hotel is First World Hotel, the lousiest budget hotel in my opinion.

(I wanted to add pictures but after 15 minutes of failed attempts, I gave up)

The next morning, my dear and I decided to spend our time in the amusement park. My mood gotten quite bad when I see all the queues in the park. I have to fucking wait 30-45 minutes in order to ride a ride! That would means I would have spent almost 85% of the time in the amusement park waiting! Anyway, I manage to ride around 5 rides if I'm not wrong. Not that thrilling for me as I do not find the speed very fast. For the other rides, I decide to give up riding it after I saw the queues. Anyway, we decide to spend our money eating. I will talk more about our food later on in my blog. We also visited two attraction inside their indoor amusement park, the "Ripley's Believe it or Not" & "Van Helsing Adventure". The former is definitely worth it price as we remain inside the "Ripley's museum" for nearly 2 hours! The later is damn boring! We have to wear blurry 3-D glasses, hear sounds and only have one pathetic worker trying to scare the socks out of our toes. He/She was fairly successful doing their job on Cynthia. At night, we caught a movie, ratatouille.(I'm not sure about the spelling and lazy to check the spelling) I wanted the "Osim" seats but it was already sold out even when we bought the tickets early in the morning. In the end, we choose the premium seats. It is definitely "premium". The seats were hard as wood, no couple seats for me to cuddle up with Cyn. Lousy shitty cinema. Popcorn sucks too. We tried to get inside the casino but was chased out due to me wearing slippers.(Not because of my age, guess I looked too aged)

Next day, we played arcade and took a cable car down to I don't know where. The view in the cable car was "fantastic"! Clouds surround the cable car and the view was so foggy that nothing can be seen. The window shopped around the cable car station and there is even a mini zoo there. It boast that it have a collection of 300 over animals inside but "disappointingly", most of it were fishs and only afew animals. Perhaps I find fishes uninteresting because I do not appreaciate "marinalogy". Then, it was back at Genting, had our meal and window shop again. Finally, we went inside the casino(Guess I really look old) without any resistence from the security guards. The jackpot machines were not what I am expecting. Not those which will be filled with cash once a jackpot is being acheive but all the money will be crediting inside a card. I guess even casino have been advancing. We even visited a temple some distance away from Genting. That's about the highlights of the trip.

I have high expectation of the food there as Cyn told me malaysia food is super SHIOK! The higher the expectation, the higher the disappointment is very true! The service was also extremely bad at one of the restaurant, namely Spice Restaurant. It sells Indian crusine and I do not know whether they are racist or they look down on us because of our age but their service attitude is simply unacceptable! We were waiting for any one of the waiters to serve us at the entrance and none of them came forward to serve us! I was staring at all the waiters and I even manage to get eye contact with one of the waiter but that damn Indian waiter just look away quickly and hide in some corner! I'm not racist but I really find them %!%^&^!@#@.
Now, I will list the HIGHLY NOT RECOMMENDED restaurant
1 - Good Friends Restaurant
2 - Only Mee
3 - Yum Yum Chinese Restaurant
4 - KFC
And the HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
1 - Lake View Restaurant
2 - Merry Brown
3 - Hong Kong Restaurant
My theory is that good food wouldn't be up Genting because if a chef is really so damn good, why the hell would he/she want to travel up Genting which is up in the clouds to cook?

Basically, the trip will be more enjoyable if there isn't any queues, racist waiters, cheaper food and nicer food. Looking forward to visit Malaysia again later this year. :)
