My Genting Trip + Malacca and JB...

This post should have been up quite some time back. But I haven't had time or maybe, I have been lazy... I had a short getaway last week. Just after my audtion, Simon and Minhui drove to KL to look for me. And up we went to Genting... :) It was a very relaxing, nothing much planned but very enjoyable trip. Just spending time together. But... Mark pulled out last minute from the trip and I became an obvious LIGHTBULB. I am glad they didn't mind also. Besides, they are still very loving even if I'm there or not! Whahaah... 'Cause of Simon's membership, I had free hotel stays and a hotel room to myself :) Thanks a lot! We needed 2 rooms... How could I disrupt the couple. :P

This trip sparked my first official entry into a casino. I have walked through casinos in Vegas but, I was underaged then and I didn't see what was going on. This time round, we went in and I saw how "big, small" was being played. It was tense! But I am glad I'm not really lured to play at the casino :)

We had one MAJOR highlight...

On our way back from Genting to Singapore, when we reached Ipoh (quite near to Johor), Simon asked us to check our passports. I was rather sure that I had mine in my lugguage. He had asked me to checked for his and Minhui's and... it wasn't there! The whole situation became tense... I knew it was no joke to be losing passports in a foreign land. I helped looked around and it REALLY wasn't there. They analysed the situation and confirmed that they probably left it at the hotel. Good thing Minhui was quite calm... in fact, she seem quite happy... wahhah! Cause if she left it at the hotel, means we would spend another day in Malaysia. Haha... It being a grave issue, I began praying... and praying and praying... :) We found the hotel's number on a tissue box that Simon had taken from the hotel room. Haha... And asked them to check the room for us. Thank God and thank God that the passports were there! Really really thank God :) So at 12am, we drove back up to Genting, a 4hrs drive back up. Though it was tiring, I thank God for everything. For being in control and for being there... and with the journey up to Genting again, I had quite a good talk with Simon. Some things that I have wanted to say for some time. And I am glad we talked :) I really cherish the time spent together...

Thank God for Simon and Minhui as mentors, colleagues, close friends, fellow music lovers in my life :)


We slacked and slacked... Ate and ate and this was our usual routine of using the net.


At the middle of a mountain enjoying teh-tarik...


The mushroom farm that we failed to enter...


Hahaha... China boy and Mr. Sleepy at A&W... Talking about A&W... When I saw it, I was elated! But... the standard has dropped so much! Its no longer nice. :( I miss the A&W from my childhood...


A&W... Look at the colour of the waffle... :(


At the happening street of Malacca! I love the street... it was bustling and different!


Famous Chicken Rice Balls and Kampong Chicken...


My wonderful photography! I think I am talented in photography man... 2 heads + a restaurant! Wahhah...


Our only group pic together... taken with a pair of shaky hands... wahhah


This is the "hui guan"... Something like a community centre for different groups of people with the same dialect to gather and have activities... It looks so traditional and happening. I didn't know such a thing exist!


In japan... Handmade sushi. I actually enjoyed it. Although Simon had warned us about its hygenie. But its nice!


A rainbow we saw on our drive back :)

This was our 3 trip overseas now... How many more will there be?

Thanks for the time... :)

Thank God...
