A short getaway to Genting Highlands!

I've not been to Genting for so many years and finally, we found the time for a short getaway, get away as far as possible from the city life and well, this is the furthest that we can go at the moment. Forget bout airasia.com.my and it's really cuti cuti malaysia now. Get a house with full renovation and you will know the pain.

We woke up as early as 9am and stopped at MCD drive thru and grabbed the breakfast set. Then, we took LRT to Gombak and unfortunately, the next bus is at 1pm only. That will be pretty late then. Oh, how sad. We decided to drive to the skyway and take cable car. We reached skyway about 11am and I was wondering why there was such a long queue waiting at the bus waiting zone. We ignored the long queue and headed upstairs for the cable car ticket purchase. To our surprise, the skyway is under maintenance for 70 days, from 13.09 - 21.11.2010. Phewwww... what a day. Since things didn't go our way, I planned to just drive down again and chill in the airconditioning shopping mall instead. But Justin said just go ahead and thus, we purchase the bus ticket and join the long queue at 1st floor.

Sigh.... 70 days maintenance.

It seemed to be a long queue, huge crowd but waiting time was only about 10mins. At least, they have efficient shuttle service. Ticket price is the same as cable car, RM5 per person. Thanks to this, my happy mood slowly increasing to the peak!

Finally, we reached the highlands after 30mins of drive. It was pretty fast, and the bus drive did not speed. The old sweet memories flashed back. The moment when I was still single and we, college buddies, crazy housemates went all the way up, when the sky is as dark as charcoal, only street lights available, no moon light but there was mist... just to have a cup of starbucks. That was really crazy of us in those old days.. what a sweet memory!

We arrived at the highlands pretty late, 12noon and the crowd at theme park counter was even worst. Guess you can't and don't even want to squeeze in with all the ketiak ketiak smell. =P So, we decided to hang out indoor. I wish to play this again, but not space shot and flying coaster!




Shopping in highlands is always fun.. but this trip was only WINDOW and SEE and TOUCH shopping, no BUY. Hehe...

And we saw this unique stress ball. I just couldn't stop laughing! In my mind, I was thinking who need this the most! Hahaha... Guess you can't find this elsewhere in KL? So, why wait? Quickly grab two while stocks last! Haha!




Nothing much to do in the highlands if there's no theme park. So, remember... wake up early, go early and be the first to purchase theme park tickets for the day!

Wish to go again with a night stay... a full day theme park.. midnight chilling with a cup of hot chocolate... no window shopping, but buy shopping... snap lots of pictures.. nice meal with hub!!! Many more things to do ............ XD
