Genting Highlands - Kuala Lumpur - Malacca (05.12.09 - 06.12.09)

Day 1

Didn't sleep for the whole night as I was too excited about the drive-up trip to Genting Highlands and KL. We arranged to meet at 4.15am near ma house. The car arrived and I drove to Tanah Merah to fetch melvin and then to Queensway to fetch SC. After that was expressway to Tuas Secondlink. We reached the Malaysian side at around 6.15am.
I drove the first leg which was about 200km, then wc took over, and mel drove the genting leg. The whole trip towards Genting took 4 hours. The road to Genting Highlands was extremely dangerous as the mountain was extremely foggy. When we arrived at Genting, we headed straight to the casino. Initially planned to go for theme park, but it was raining. This is the second time when I went to genting and it was raining. However, even if it wasn't raining, i would still not go for the rides as im scared of heights. Mel and me didn't gamble, and we went to a cafe to slack until the rest are done with their gambling. After casino, we then headed to the Genting Skyway for a joy ride. It's also the second time i sat on this ride. When we landed on the other side, went to check out the horse ride, but too bad it had ceased operations. Jalan Jalan around the area, then headed back to First World hotel where out car was parked, and then went down mountain to our hotel. We went to the wrong hotel, Goh Tong Residence Hall, instead of Chin Swee, which we passed by far far away. In the end, instead of checking in at 3pm, we reached at 4pm. Rested for a while in the room, before we headed back out towards Kuala Lumpur for shopping and clubbing at night.
Driving down to KL was horrendous!!! so many cars, traffic jam, faded road markings, notorious drivers, confusing road and directional signs, plus, the GPS gave quite confusing warnings as well. It lagged by 100m, and when it said "Turn left now", there is either no turn, or a small lane!! I had to make last minute manoeuvres swervings in the terrible downtown traffic of KL. But nevertheless, it pays to have a GPS unit when driving overseas.
I parked the car at Berjaya Times Square, and off to shopping. SC wanted to go shopping alone, but then i thought that it was dangerous for a gal to shop alone in a notorious town unless it's KLCC. So I decided to accompany her walk ard, while the rest of the guys went on their own. When we met up, headed for KL Zouk. This time, wc drove as I was too tired and kinda depressed to drive in the stupid traffic. I was sooo shagged that i slept in the car for a good 40+ mins according to han rong, and totally oblivious to ma surroundings. When i woke up, we were somewhere near Zouk KL, which is situated near KLCC. Zouk KL is soooo high, its been years since I last clubbed. totally brought back memories when we (mel, sc, me) clubbed at MS. We roamed the club, then stayed put at Velvet Undergound. Partied till around 1.30am, and since it was kinda late, and wc wanted to go rest in the car, mel decided that we shld be gg off as well. sian man, the songs were beginning to reach the climax, and everyone was beginning to get high. Too bad, next time shall visit Zouk KL again. WC drove us back to hotel, and the night fog seems to be worse than the day.

Day 2


Woke up at around 9.30am, then went downstairs to catch the attractions which the temple offers. All of them went to pray, while i just stayed and watch. It's a sunday, and im supposed to be in Church, however this time round, im in a temple. Checked out at 12pm, then I drove down to KL Sentral again, this time it was sooo much smoother for me, and I could navigate easily. On the way to KLCC, we lunched at this rest point, which almost all the stalls sell Nasi Padang. Mel was saying that they shouldn't sell the same thing, as in a perfect competition, the stall vendors will earn zero profit or a normal profit!! And then, when we departed to KLCC, guess what, one car horn at us, and i was thinking WTF, horn simi lan, nvr obstuct or whatever, then wc realised that our boot wasnt closed!! I had to make an emergency stop at the road shoulder and close the boot!! DAMMMMM PAI SEH MAN!!!!! Parked at Suria KLCC, and then off to more shopping. After shopping, we decided to head back to Singapore. And I drove again. hahaha... On the way, we stopped over at Malacca for dinner. I ordered some chicken in Thai style, which was the worse i ever tasted. No time to explore Malacca though as it was already evening then. Too bad oso... but from the surface, its quite a sleepy town. And then once again, i drove back heading to SG, until some rest point when wc took over. pics will be uploaded on FB soon! stay tuned!! =D
