Indoor Theme Park

Heee... I shall continue my Day 2 evening tour at Genting with lots of pics again :)

We resume our theme park tour in the evening after dinner....



Dinner at HK cafe




We or i should say me, was contemplating if we should go to Van Helsing, a haunted house. It is EXTREMELY SCARY - too much for me i think.

From the outside, it looks pretty eeerie already.. But after much thoughts, i decided to give it a shot! Since i've never experience visiting a haunted house/ride before and i thought i could convience myself that, "Anyway, they're all fake..... Just human beings inside, nothing to be afraid of...."

Ok, this is bullshit! For people like me who are timid and sensitive to ghostie stuff - This doesn't work at all!

From the very moment i entered the lift (need to take the lift one level up), which makes the whole experience even scarier, i kinda really 'regret'...... *HELP* i kept repeating to Mr. G, "It's so scary, i'm soooo scared..........." but i knew it's too late to back out now.

When we reached the entrance, i just stood there... freezed. The whole place, the path ways are soooooooo dark that i could hardly see my own hands.... For a moment i thought, "Can i be deaf and blind for like 20 mins?" I really hope i could...

It was almost silent in there which makes the whole atmosphere even more terrible.. I just can't stop thinking, "Is something popping out in front of me soon?? What isit gonna be? How am i going to react" You just can't anticipate what will happen. Help.........!!!!

So the only way i thought could minimise my fear is probably to have minimal exposure to vision and hearing.

Minimising Hearing - I used my right hand to cover my right ear real tight, and while my left hand clutched his right hand and i pressed my left ear as closely to Mr. G's arm as possible, having the hopes i won't be able to hear any thing.

Minimising Visual - If you asked me, what is in Van Helsing? I can tell you in four words.... "I really don't know!" Cos from the 2nd minute i stepped in, with my ears covered... i shut my eyes too! And basically, i just walked blindly with Mr. G guiding me. Ocassionally, i would open my eyes for like 0.5 second and shut them immediately.. So i could barely see what is in there....

I know..... this is the first and last time i will be visiting such place.




Xerene is scared....


This is the eerie lift... :(




Inside the lift.... :(


Ridleys Tour

I just felt sooooo relax when i stepped out from Van Helsing. It's like hmm.... Rainbow after the rain? In there, we took really lots of photos... :D

Luckiest Chair in the World! A must sit :)



Last Theme Park Ride

We went to take some indoor rides after which...




Indoor Boat Ride



Ferry Wheels - Self-shots


Arcade
Spent our last night at the arcade instead of casino, hee... And yeah! We won 2 teddy bears! :D Time flies and the next morning, we prepared to head back home... Though Genting is not as fun as in Taiwan but for a short get-away, it's not too bad eh :)



Mr. G got the white one for me & i got the blue one myself, hee..

Outdoor Theme Park

Heee.. This post gonna be a looooong one with lots of pics cos we took quite a fair bit. So much so that i have to break my post to 2, heee...

We woke up early in the morning and got our All Day Theme Park taggie. We planned to use up our morning for the outdoor theme park and leave the afternoon and evening for indoor :D



Entrance - Tag



Our first ride




Show Boat Fantasy




Pirates Train



Choo-choo Train



Flume Ride - We were all wet!



Time for Makan! *Hungry*



Let's go slow after lunch... The Caterpillar Ride



Dinosaur Land


Rides we took

We also tried the Flying Coaster, which is consider a new ride in Genting. Though i'm not an extremely daring person but i felt the rides are not very 'scary' afterall, heee.... But it was really tiring after all the rides and we headed back to get some rest before we continue our indoor theme park tour :)

Our Genting Trip

Took a short break over the weekends at Genting! The weather was just nice.. cooling.

We started our journey early morning at 7am and by time we reach Genting, it was like late afternoon and hence, went around to check out the place, planning for our tomorrow's schedule. Pretty unfamiliar with the area as my last time there was around 8/9 years back! :)

During our bus ride, the driver played the movie 'The Black Sheep' and after watching, i didn't have a very good feel.. cos i'll be petrified everytime i watch horror movies and that's the reason why i always avoid such shows..... Indeed i didn't have a good night sleep, i had nightmare of a person slicing up himself till death!!!!!! OMG.. i woke up from the bad dream and i believe this was due to watching the horror show in the morning. Why oh why did the bus driver played such movies :(

Anyway, here's the journal for my first day at Genting :)



We arrvied Genting! :D


Time for ice-cream



Enjoy yummie BR ice-cream



After ice-cream, we decided on our plans which will be watching the performance, 'DREAMZ' tonight and leave the whole of tomorrow for theme park! :D



Heading to buy tics for the nite


Very soon.. it was 9pm and time for the show! The performance ended 1.5 hours later and we have no where to go, plus both of us don't really enjoy going to casino.. So basically we just hang around, pop by casino for awhile... then went for coffee at Starbucks *All-time favourite*

During our coffee session, i was being 'taught' on improving my photo taking skills - cos they were Lousy. Heee, well cos i just love snapping pics without much thoughts on the background or surrounding. Pose & Snap, haha.... so Mr. G says all his pics were awful and told me the basic rules of taking pictures. Alright, i shall try harder tomorrow and take nicer pics, heee... Check out my Day 2 photos :)



Tickets for 'Dreamz'


After the performance


Check out Good pics Vs Lousy Ones



my 'sad' look after realising how bad my photography skills were

Back from HK

Came back from HK last evening and usually i'll be rather tired.. But surprising i still have the 'energy' to go out and have dinner with Mr. G.

During our last night in HK, Shyanne & me just hang out around Causeway Bay area. Can you believe it, that place itself we can hang out till 12+? Had our dinner in a Jap restuarant and the food there is really quite nice.. but then also expensive - we spent around SGD 100 in total.


Food there were really fresh & yummie!


i love their Salmon Skin Handroll :)



She loves Jap food :)


Wow wow...... loads of sushi *yum yums*


We met my cousin for dessert after our dinner and she brought us to 'Lucky Dessert'.

Cousin & Me



It's Dessert Time! :D


Okie, after this trip.. i can conclude Shaynne is really a 'Shopaholic + Foodholic', heee.... But shopping with her was really fun too!! :)

Evil Jojo Birthday @ HK

Finally, i manage to find the very nice egg tart i've eaten in Hong Kong with EO & Ina last year. If you ever go over to HK, must must eat this! Heee... The cafe name is call 'Tan Dou' located at Wan Chai.


Traditional HK snacks - 'Dan Tart', 'Po Lo Bao' & 'Nai Cha'


After work, we planned to celebrate Evil Jojo's birthday after dinner. Had roasted goose at Yung Kee, also another famous place in Hong Kong- located at Central. As usual, we'll call to reserve seats before heading there, otherwise you gonna wait for like 45 mins to get a seat! :s




Dinner @ Yung Kee Restaurant



Before we head to Lan Kwai Fong, we went to H&M again! Hee... Cos the flagship store is at Central and the store is really huge - so much better than the one at Mongkok which was rather messy & crowded. I didn't buy any more stuffs cos i had enough shopping, i think :)

We just popped in to a pub along Lan Kwai Fong and bought a slice of German Cheese Cake for Jojo... Here are some pics:




Happie Birthday to Jojo!! :)



Our drinks for the nite

Cheeeeers!




Jojo making her wish :)




The 3 of Us


It was close to 1am and also time for us to head back hotel. Though tomorrow's gonna wake up early but i guess for the sake of Jojo.... Hee... sure man! ^_*



Time to find our bed
