malaysia
hm. i m back frm malaysia. been thr frm tues to fri. it was a pleasant surprise indeed, as i saw my pri sch friend, enchun on the coach too. haha. if i remb correctly, she sat beside me during pri4. haha. she is nw in nj too, in the arts stream, bt i rarely see n tok to her.
anyway, i went to genting on tues n wed, kl on thurs, n malacca on fri. hm. actually, i tot it was quite boring, cos i haf been to genting like numerous times. haha. the indoor theme park was a total waste of $$. it was so damn boring. the rides r so slow. i only sat the euro express n visited the 4d motion master. the euro express is even worse than the rides in escape. bt i tot the 4d motion master was quite interesting n something new. basically, it involves u goin into a movie theatre, whr u put on a pair of 3d glasses n sit on a chair tt can move. haha. wat surprised me was tt during the ride, some water actually sprinkled out frm the neck part of the chair. i guess tt was the 4th d.
the outdoor theme park as a little bit more interesting. it wld haf been better if it was not for the rain. 2 times i queued up for the main attraction, the spaceshot, n 2 times it rained, n the ride was temporarily closed. i only managed to gt on the ride at nite, whr nt much ppl were queuing up. spaceshot was quite interesting. basically it involved propelling u up this pole as u sit on a chair, n then lower u to the grd suddenly, so u wld accelerate faster than 9.81ms^2. actually i tot tt the lowering part was not scary. rather the part whr u were slowly moved to the top of the pole was the scary part. the top was so darn high. u cld actually see kl frm the top. haha. as it was at night, i saw many small lights clustered together, so i assumed it was kl, as kl was less than 100km frm genting.
thr was tis ride which i particularly hate. nt tt i thought that it was scary or wat, bt my specs actually fell off halfway during the ride, n i initially tot it was lost in the tracks as the ride, the corkscrew, involved the roller coaster turning upside down. my specs fell off nt becos of the turning upside down, bt becos i tot tt the ride was so boring, so i raised up my hands. in the process of raising them up, i knocked my specs off. i was scolding vulgarities for the rest of the ride. when it ended, i was really relieved to find them under my seat. i dont really noe hw it ended thr.
haha. thr was also go kart thr too. bt the karts were quite slow compared to escape's. anyway, thr were ard 15 karts. i started off 2nd, n managed to overtake my brother who was at pole at the 2nd lap. other than tt, the whole thing was quite boring. it was freezing cold driving the kart at nite. hm. the rest of the rides were quite sian.
at kl, we visited the batu caves. according to my mum, i had been thr when i was very small, but i dont seem to haf any recollection of it. anyway, the caves were managed by indians, n was sort of the place for them to worship their gods. thr were many altars n some statues of the indian gods. thr were also many monkeys ard thr too. quite interesting.
malacca was the most boring. visited some chi temples, museums n shops. thr was tis shop tt sold products obtained frm bees. i dont noe hw the sales person sweet talked my father into buyin products costin rm400+ despite protests frm us. i seriously dont like his spendthriftness. i dont understand hw a bottle of honey, a bottle of honey wif royal jelly, flower pollens, royal jelly n some miscellaneous stuff. dumb la.
