Genting Highland

Facing the monotonous work and piles of tutorials and assignments
The three of us decided to go to Genting Highland for one day trip
To breathe

Genting Highlands is an integrated resort development comprising hotels, casinos, shopping mall and theme park in Pahang, perched on the peak of Gunung Ulu Kali at 1800 meters high
On the peak, First World Hotel-the largest hotel in Asia with over 6000 budget rooms-provides much of the budget accomodation along with family-oriented Theme Park Hotel

We arrived at KL Sentral around 9am
After buying bus tickets at the lower ground floor (The one-way fare inclusive of a Genting Skyway ride is RM 10.70 per adult. It will take you only the Genting Skyway Lower Station at Awana and from here you have to take the cable car up to Genting.)
We boarded the Genting Express Bus at 10.30am
Since it was a last minute trip (we did not buy our bus tickets beforehand)
We could not get the return ticket from Genting to KL Sentral
We ended up buying the one for Pudu Sentral instead (KL Sentral-Pudu Sentral)
The bus journey took us about 45-60 minutes
Then followed by the cable car ride (too busy enjoying the journey and lose track of time)


Inside a cable car
See how happy they were
Loving the greens
Upon arrival
We found this restaurant called Hot Pot for steamboat
Since my friend loves steamboat very much
So we paid RM30 per person for the steamboat buffet
The best food you can have in the cold weather!
They served the best ice-cream! No Joke! We had bowls after bowls. 
Overall
I think it was just so-so
But big thumbs up for the ice-cream
There were a few flavors to choose from
And all were quite unique!
We had an enjoyable time chit-chatting, laughing and cooking together~

Coincidentally we dressed in the same style and color !
Did a bit of shopping
There was a Power Rangers Exhibition
To be honest
I'm not really a fan of Power Rangers (Who cares, just grab some pictures will do! Sorry Power Rangers fans > <)
But I remember that I watched a lot when I was a kid
Childhood memories~
Look at my friend. How cute!
Initially
We wanted to go for coffee
But we were too full after the buffet
So we just walked into the Casino
It was my first time in a Casino
Ohhyaa we had a small cup of free coffee there
Our return ticket was 5.30pm (My friend had to work the next day. So, we had to leave earlier)
We walked back to the Skyway Station 40 minutes before the departure time
Little did we know that there was a huge crowd of people queuing for the ride
Waiting anxiously
We finally got out turn after about 20 minutes


Are you afraid of heights? To me, the scariest part was the beginning of the ride.
By the time we reached the Genting Skyway Lower Station
The bus had already left (we were late for about 10 minutes)
So people
Remember to check your departure time of your bus ticket
And allocate more time for the cable car ride at Awana Hotel by queuing earlier since there is always a crowd especially on weekends
The bus will not wait for you if you are late
Lucky for us
We met a kind bus driver
He asked us to queue at another line for the next bus (just besides the normal queue)
If there were empty seats in the bus
We could enter
So that's how we managed to go home!
Waiting for my next getaway~
Now back to studies, assignments and exams!

Australia Part 11- Stanwell Park, Kiama Blowhole, Kings Point Retreat Ulladulla for Camping

Image
Day 15 (4/1/16) The plan was to visit Stanwell Park, Nan Tien Temple, Kiama and finally Ulladulla to set up our tent for camping The weather forecast said that there would be a shower or worse, thunderstorm these few days Besides, Nan Tien Temple at Wollongong was closed for some reason Quite unlucky huh~ Driving through the forest Stanwell Park  Feeling so tiny in front of nature~ Stanwell Park is the first of several pretty coastal towns south of the  Royal National Park , on Lawrence Hargrave Drive. It's a popular beach for surfing and picnics and an easy day trip from  Sydney . The hills that rise sharply from the coast to the escarpment and the strong air currents make Stanwell Tops a prime spot for hang gliding. The  Grand Pacific Drive  passes through Stanwell Park on its spectacular route along the coast to the South Coast. Stop at Sea Cliff Bridge, located between Coalcliff and Clifton, for a walk along this engineering masterpiece (need to zoom in my pi

Eco Forest One Day Trip

Image
Have you heard of the Eco Forest in the heart of Kuala Lumpur? (Formerly known as Hutan Simpan Bukit Nanas) I only got to know about it recently And it shocked me that the city centre of KL actually has a forest?! This is the entrance that we entered from We took the monorail to Station Bukit Nanas Once you walk out from the station You will see this sign Just follow it There are actually 2 routes (one from Jalan Ampang and the other one from Jalan Raja Chulan) If you follow the Jalan Ampang route You will need to hike for approx 20-30 minutes in the Canopy Walk depending on your speed It was quite an easy hike But lesser people The Raja Chulan route is the nearest to the suspension bridge So if you just want to grab some nice Instagrammable pictures It is better to go to the Raja Chulan route Immersing ourselves in the forest There were actually very few people using this route So it is better to come in a bigger group of people And remember to bring mo

Palladium Cafe KL & Batu Caves

Image
On one fine day (3rd of August) Our original plan was to have our lunch at NU Sentral followed by Palladium Cafe KL But we ended up with a half day trip to the Batu Caves Unexpected trips are the best right? So after having done some shopping and lunch at Pasta Zanmai We took the KTM to Taman Wahyu According to one blog The Palladium Cafe is actually within 10-15 minutes walk from the Taman Wahyu KTM station We initially followed But unfortunately there was some construction going on that day So they blocked the roads (you can still walk there but it will be quite dangerous given that you have to walk besides the highway with speeding cars) After walking for about 10 minutes We walked back to the ktm station and took a cab instead (which only cost us RM3 cuz it was really near) It was a great workout especially when we had to carry the shopping bags and walk under the evil hot sun! Your mood will be instantl
