Up hill this and that

Genting was quite packed, even though Malaysia’s school holiday was over, but Singapore school holiday still a week to go. So we saw a lot Singapore cars around (cockroach was there wor, see?).
And I just found out I can differentiate the Singaporean from local, by listen to the way they speak Mandarin! Cool…
Singaporean’s Mandarin got a unique accent, 语气比较急促 (Earthtone 除外，她是懒人说话).
:s:
The highway going up and down at Genting are getting better and better, every gambler can go there simply point on a brick(s) and claim he/she donated it.
:s:
First World Hotel’s lobby check-in counter looks like a bus terminal (Twinsdad’s comment), or a well decorated hospital (my opinion), with roles of chair. Now think about it, it look like a bank too.
:s:
The deco in Genting give me a feeling of — peasant wear an emperor gown (或是东施效颦). no matter how they tried to copy the deco from oversea (LasVegas), it still lack of a lot of detail. Anyway… they might want to say that the visitors also got no good taste (emm? included me liao). Anyway, it is a artificial place, what I expect? cheh…
:s:
The most interesting attraction in Genting is cloud watching (for me personally), 坐看风起云涌。
:s:
I saw the Amber Court from the new wing of the First World Hotel, I don’t know how is inside, but it outlook is in such a sorry state. And the half built Billion Court looks like a haunted building next to Amber Court.
:s:
Genting used to have a lot of roses, but I can only see plenty of chrysanthemum now.
:s:
SIL said the room in First World Hotel new wing are a bit bigger than the old wing, she quote “Friend said she don’t even wants to bath in the old wing’s bathroom, too small to get in.”
That small meh?
:s:
To remind the visitors Genting is a place for gamble, the stuffs all have a similar face — poker face.
:s:
Dine in Happy Valley restaurant(Theme Park Hotel) have three dishes, are cheaper than having burger in fast food chain, and tastier, for at least three people.
:s:
Genting hotels are the only hotel I see a lot of Chinese signage around, seems like the visitors from China only visit Genting when they came to Malaysia.
:s:
People tells a lot of ghost stories happen in Genting, but I didn’t see one.
:s:
Everything in the Genting can be the prop or background for taking pictures, including the dustbin; and the 1 x 2 feet, 4 feet tall police counter — Twinsdad’s comment.
:s:
At the outdoor theme park while SIL riding the merry-g-round with the gilrs, over heard a cute old couple (about 60<>) conversation –
Old Auntie: “This one so slow wan, not chi-geek (exciting) at all.”
Old Uncle: “Neh, that one very chi-geek, go ride that one.” Point to the machine next to the merry-go-round, a spinning swing.
:s:
Judging from the above mention, I didn’t pay 100% full attention to the twins during the Genting visit, even though without the camera.
wahsei….. Genting..Genting…after my stpm..sure i will up to the hill….hmph…
Wah.. your mind works like a journalist.. scanning the area for writing material while not giving the twins 100% of your attention!
Btw, which hotel is the best hotel to stay in? I kept hearing people stay in New World Hotel, and then complain about it.
I stay in Amber Court b4 (got free voucher), the room is big (like Awana Genting) but too bad the location not good!
my first stay at first world hotel was my last stay also… the bathroom is smaller than my office cubicle! maybe now is bigger gua… LOL!
I so gian to go Genting. becos almost two years never step out of Singapore liao..but your account brings back memories of the genting I went..looks like never change …the atmosphere..
feel like going there to gamble leh.
last time wei used to say, genting is what malaysia is like if got winter..
think cameroon highlang nicer hor?
>> Milly, yah, go cool down :D.
>> Zarasmama, can’t help lar, no camera mah, hope can use my eye and mind as the camera LOL.
I stay in most of the hotel before, of course the economy and spacious wan will be Theme Park resort, Genting and Resort so long never stay there, so don’t know how it is now.
But First World Hotel you have to have 心理准备，really really very small, the room we stay after put in two single bed together, the side only have about 3 feet to move about, the 床脚 there got 2 feet space. and no cabinet, only a open wood hanger for your cloth. no refridgirator.
>> Jesslyn, the location really put off a lot people.
>> Egghead, LOL… then I am sure you stay in the 1st first world hotel, the 2nd wan not so bad.
>> Earthtone, so gian ah? LOL… poor thing, after pregnant and being mommy is like that lor, come lar, this year end come here or not? them may be we can have a blogger meet also ;).
Cameron? so long never been there so don’t know leh.
wow that’s a lot of ‘this and that’. did you jot down your thoughts, or you managed to remember all the details till you’re back?
Genting ah … go there for fresh air can lah … the others, not my type yet. everything is so overpriced, like eating in USD … moreover i don’t gamble. maybe when i have kid(s) I will enjoy genting more. anyhow, glad that you have been doing some travelling huh … must be fun for your family, and a lot of quality time too!
i’ve been really slack at blogging and didnt realize you gave your blogsite a face lift
