Class Trip To Genting Highlands

It's my final sem as a foundation student. In May, I'll officially be a first year degree student. Of course, just like any other classes, my class, TE1, organized a class trip. Last weekend, we went to Genting.

TE1 in Genting.

On Friday, we (as in the whole TE1 students except for 5 person who could not make it for the trip) were supposed to have class till 4 p.m.. However, we self-declare and ended our classes at 12. Yes, we skipped one class (English) just to make it on time for the 1 p.m. bus. Our class was supposed to end at 12.30 p.m., but thanks to our lovely and considerate lecturer, Ms. Thavamalar, the class was dismissed at 12 p.m.. We (me, Guat Shan and Leon.) headed to the bus station at 12.45 p.m.

We waited and waited and waited.. and the bus only arrives at 2 p.m.. Never mind that, we took a bus from Kampar to Pudu then Genting's bus from Pudu to Genting. The cable car ticket was included in the bus ride fee as well and it was only RM 5.70. Cheap, no?

Roomies :D

Anyway, we reached Genting at about 6.30 p.m.. We were splitted into groups of 4 and 5 to share rooms. I was roomed with Guat Shan, Leon, Emel and Wei Khiang. Since the rest of our classmates wanted to have McDonald's for dinner and the 5 of us do not want to, we went separate ways. Instead, we ate at the Genting's cafe. After that, the 5 of us walked indoor, outdoor and around Genting and snap pics until it was time to rest.

At the area where jockeys pick cars up.

I just love the angle where this pic was taken.

Emel, Guat Shan, Me.

The following day, we woke up at 8 a.m. and was supposed to meet the rest of them at 9 a.m.. Thus, we went to have breakfast in McDonald's and while waiting for the rest to arrive, we bought 4 movie tickets (Leon did not want to watch the movie) for Ah Long Pte. Ltd.. When they arrived, we bought our tickets (outdoor only for the 5 of us since we think it wasn't worth to pay for indoor rides). Initially, we planned to stick as a group and go for all the rides together but since it was a little hassle to stay as a group, we splitted again. By the way, I found that Emel is a very kind soul. While we were buying tickets, there was this little Pakistani boy who got separated from his parents and was crying. She talked to him and brought him to the Genting guards :)

Yes! We're ready for outdoor!

Yes, my class is dominated by girls.

Being superheroes.

My room mates and I stick together and went for all the rides. At about 3 p.m., we went back to our hotel room to bathe since we were wet from one of the rides. After that, we had lunch in a noodle shop where a bowl of normal wanton mee costs RM 14. I ate spaghetti which cost me RM 11. Ok la.. not that bad compared to Guat Shan's wanton mee. Anyway, after lunch, we went for the movie which tickets we bought earlier.

I know cameras are not allowed in cinema but we just want a pic XD

The movie ended 2 hours later. We met up with Leon and we strolled around indoor for a couple of hours before returning outdoor for the chilly air. It was really chilly at night. Perhaps because I was only wearing my jacket without any clothes underneath (remember my shirt was wet from one of the rides and I only brought 2 pairs of shirts). However, Wei Khiang was really kind and gentleman for lending me his jacket ^^ Really appreciate it.

We just want to feel England XD

Every one wants to return to their childhood where life was so simple.

We went for the Caterpillar Monorail and guess what? We got stuck! Thrice, to boot! The first time was the scariest since the caterpillar stopped all of the sudden in a deserted area. The scariest was, however, when Guat Shan started telling the possibilities of us getting stuck, we got stuck and when there was hysterical laughters. We were a little freaked out but we knew very well that the laughter was from the other carts. Yet, we still scare ourselves.

We went for a few more rides after that then dinner. Dinner was late. We finished eating at Pizza Hut at about 10 p.m. and went to the arcade after that. Somehow, we managed to obtain enough coupons to exchange 5 keychains, 3 postcards and 6 stickers. I think Wei Khiang should be the one to exchange for whatever he wants since he was the one who spent the most on the games. But he was nice enough to exchange 5 keychains for us. "For remembrance," he said. Going clubbing was one of the plans but because I am still underage, we cancelled the plan. We went back to our room and sleep instead.

Taken outside a pub called Cloud 9, if i'm not mistaken.

Next morning, we thought we were supposed to check out at 12.30 p.m.. So, we planned to wake up at 1o a.m.. The next thing we know was Jing Jing (one of our classmates) rang our door bell at 10 a.m. and told us that we were supposed to check out at 10.30 a.m.. Heck, we rushed and somehow managed to check out on time. We took the 12.30 p.m. bus from Genting to Pudu and our bus from Pudu back to Kampar was at 5.30 p.m.. Hence, we lingered around Times Square for 3 hours.

Leon's lonely back while waiting for the bus to arrive.

We met up back at 4.30 p.m. to walk back to Puduraya bus station. We received a message from TD1 students saying the bus was very punctual and 2 students were left behind. We panicked and started to walk really really fast back to the station because according to Jing Jing, we had to be at the station by 4.45 p.m.. Worst still, it started raining while we were hurrying to the station. We reached the station dripping wet with perspiration and waited for one full hour before the bus arrive. So much for being punctual. It was 8.30 p.m. when we arrived at Kampar and I was more than happy to be able to watch M'boro vs. Man. Utd.'s match. All in all, the trip was fun and exciting. I grew closer to my classmates and yes, I no longer left the barrier between us.

TD1 on the left.

P/s: Just in case you're wondering how come Leon joined TE1 when he's from TD2, it's because he wanted to go so badly and his class didn't have a class trip. And, by the sides, TD1 class trip fell on the same day as my class. That explains why TD1 was able to tell us that the bus was very punctual.

P/s + P/s: I notice there were A LOT of people wearing Man. Utd. merchandises from jerseys to t-shirts to jackets. I'm so proud of them :D
