I was actually planning a trip to Maldives this Dec but due to many many reasons.. it did not work out. Yet I'm still happy with these frequent short trips just to get away...Really missed the days of cramping together in a chalet and crowding over a BBQ pit with my poly friends at least twice a year. But the days were long over when everyone started working and studying making it difficult to get together even for a simple dinner.
And this time we finally got together in Genting, all thanks to organiser, Joe, who failed to join us due to some last minute held ups. Cat, who had paid, yet couldn't find someone to replace her shift, gave it a miss too. The 5 of us, Choon, JH, Lau, Alv and myself went on to the highlands on a Friday night and arrived before dawn. As it was an extremely short stay ( bound to leave on Sun ), we started our activities from 6am (sat) right up to 1am (sun). It's possible with us still young and energetic, but not sure we can in the future.
Updated each other on our lives over the buffet breakfast and glad to hear that everyone is doing well. It's kinda funny to see how our topics grew along with us... talking about jobs, flats and investments.. when we used to talk about grades, projects and gibberish.
After breakfast we bought tickets to the
amusement park. Though I've been there countless times, the feel is different with different company. Being the most playful one, I started off with kiddy rides like merry-go-round and jumbo. The guys were pretty relunctant but trudged along after some persuasion. You should see their faces when I asked them to take pictures... oh... they just felt so embarrassed! Oh come on, you guys are in an AMUSEMENT PARK... shouldn't u be amused??!! It felt so much like my younger days when I first came here and did the rides.
The only thing that I felt different was taking the thrill rides. I did not seemed to yearn for the thrill anymore. The roller coasters and the drop-off rides ( whatever u call that ) didn't appeal to me at all. But I still took the courage to sit on the Viking and the Corkscrew just to go with the rest.
We had dim sum for lunch , did some shopping and went to the Arcade for more games. We combined efforts and changed RM50 worth of credits and played till we achieved 1000 over tickets. Silly us got so excited and exchanged those tickets for some pathetic towels, note pads and keychains. But that's what's the fun about--Being a kid.
It wasn't too long before we had Bak Kut Teh for dinner, more rides and caught an extremely lame movie " Balls of Fury" which puts me to sleep. We ended the day at the casino where I lost RM10 to the stupid slot machine in less than 30 min.
This was a short, yet sweet gathering and I hope we can get more people to join us in our next.
