I was disappointed cos i only have one pair of shoes and having to queue such a long queue, i sms my sis who was in the queue to abandon the mission and go home. But she said "Its ok. You stand in the queue and i go look for any items that I might like". She found two long sleeved shirts which cost 2 pieces for $16. What a great deal!

The best part i must say is queuing to make payment. Along the queue lines, i saw so many merchandised being abandoned. So many patrons in the queue lines keep trying out all the abandoned shoes and get hold of those that they fancy and of their size. Guez what? i found a shoe that interests me - "Hydro"! It was my luck that the abandoned pair is my size and its black in colour. I quickly grab it and placed it in my shopping bag. Gee...its my day!

Along the queue lines i keep a look out for any other sandals that could interest me, and was also looking for the jibbitz. I couldn't find any jibbitz when i did my rounding earlier. Then...THE JIBBITZ! There on the floor were three packets of jibbitz, with 5 jibbitz in each packets. 2 of the packets i liked the design and grab it! Usual price $3-$7 per jibbitz, now $1 per jibbitz! But the design are pre-pack so you just chose any packs with the most design that you liked best.

Genting Highlands

Where : Pahang, Malaysia
Place : Genting Highlands
When : 5th - 7th Nov '08

I'm still confused where to go for my hotel check-in when i reached Genting. The other time i came, i was directed to a room for "Tour Group check-in". This time i checked in at the main lobby of First World Hotel. My advice is; better to ask the security personnel where u should check-in before you start queueing for the queue number.

First World Hotel Main Lobby - Check in counters

Better than my last visit, this visit recorded temperature to be 17-18deg C. Previously the weather here is hot that wearing a thin layer of clothing is sufficient to make me comfortable walking around Genting. (My last visit was Feb this year).

Tried the rides indoor and outdoor. I guez age is catching up on me that rides which i could take previously with no problem, my heart couldn't take it anymore.


This panel shows which of the games thats in operation for the day

Riding on the corkscrew and cyclone, i can feel my heart almost fall out. Esp during the downride. Basically these two are roller coaster rides.

Flying chair


This ride (Space Shot) is close for maintenance. Never been on it before, and I dont even wanna think wanting to try this game. :-)

Try taking the sky way cable car if you have not ride on one. The cable car ride here is long and fast. And its not too expensive unlike the cable car ride in Spore.






Look at the mist. I can't even see the cable car in front of mine.


Despite being a cold weather is Genting, the sun still shines. And even tho the sun is up, the temperature is still cold.

For those who wish to buy some souveniors back home, drop by at Level 8 and you will be greeted with so many shops selling all sorts of items ranging from keychain, bags, purse, handphone chain, T-shirts and many more.

These shops are categories under "country" themes i.e shops selling items from India, Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Spore, Korea, Japan, Middle East. I bought some from Vietnam and Korea.
