Drivin' up North

Last weekend I travelled to KL, Genting and Melaka (in case some readers don't know where they are, it's actually Malaysia) on a 2-day trip with Melvin, Ken, WC and Hanrong. They rented a car and decided to drive up towards the North for some new adventure.


5 December

Album: Day 1

We met up early morning at around 5am and they picked me up the last. From ma house we drove to Tuas checkpoint and fortunately there wasn't much of a congestion. Ken was the one drivin' and he actually dozed off while on the wheels!!! Luckily nothing happened to us! When we reached KL, it was Mel's turn to drive up to Genting Highlands. Drove via Kuantan and reached there around 11am. We toured around Genting first... Wanted to go to the theme park but it was so cloudy and foggy, we decided to play in the casino.

As usual I played ma jackpot. First machine that I played made me lose 30 or 40 Ringgit. Second machine won me around 25 Ringgit lol. And I almost fell asleep while playin' coz all I had to do was press the button. It was only when I had free spins then I turned awake hahaha.

Happily withdrew ma winnings from the cash machine then we went to check in to our hotel. We dropped at the wrong location but I managed to take some nice photos while the guys went to check with the security booth. Finally we found our hotel after some rounds of driving.

The front office agent also cannot make it. After she checked us in, she didn't tell us where to take the elevator. No signage. Towel and toiletries also gotta pay money to buy. Room's water heater was also not functionin' properly. But anyway the room was cheap so forget it.

We went down to KL, this time Ken was the one controllin' the steering wheel. Omg the way he drove really made me dizzy. And made Hanrong puke. Fortunately I did ma usual - sleeping, so I didn't puke or anything. Oh, and we got horned by other motorists on the road. All Ken's fault. Hahahahaha.

First destination: Berjaya Times Square. Went round and round then reached the building. Wanted to play the roller coaster but all of us were already feelin' unwell after the ride so we didn't go for it. Had our dinner at some Penang cuisine restaurant. The staff don't understand English well, obviously.

Then we walked over to Bukit Bintang area. Bought ma contact lens. After that, I bought 3 pairs of shoes, all in less than an hour. Power daoooo!

The night is still young, furthermore it was Saturday night. So we went clubbing at Zouk! On the way there, there was a massive traffic jam and we reached there like an hour later I think. Super long.

There was one idiotic guy on the dancefloor who kept dancin' and kickin' his legs and pushin' us almost outta the dancefloor. So I danced with bigger movement and pushed him lol. Wanna dance then just dance on that spot, don't move around and affect other people's mood... -______-!!!!

WC drove us back to Genting. I fell asleep in the car and woke up, and for a moment I thought we were in the underground tunnel coz of the orange lighting. But in fact we were halfway uphill and I must say that it's DAMN dangerous when drivin' uphill at night. The mist of the cloud was really heavy and we couldn't see anything on the road at all. Even the orange lights from the lamp posts weren't helpin'. Fortunately we could make it back to the hotel without any mishap....

Album: Day 2

Woke up and explored the surroundings of the hotel. Took nice photos of the pagoda and the big Buddha sculptures and many more. After that, we left the hotel and stopped at this rest point for lunch. Ate nasi goreng... oooo nice but abit oily. After that, we went back to our car and Mel wanted to take something from the boot. I was with him and then we got into the car and moved off.

JUST when we got onto the highway, we were horned by a car. We thought Ken didn't drive properly again. WC looked behind to see which car horned. In the end he saw the boot door was open. HAHAHAHA!!!! Then we told Ken to stop the car, Ken swerved the car to the side of the road as though we were gonna crash. Mel and I quickly got off the car to close the boot and then we drove off again. LOLOL all of us kept laughin' and laughin' nonstop. Damn bloody funny lah!! Somemore our car is the hatchback kind, everyone on the road was able to see our bags lOl. And we were lyin' to Ken that maybe his luggage fell out and rolled on the road coz when we closed the boot we didn't notice his luggage inside. Lol....

We travelled down to KL and proceeded to Suria KLCC. Another jam again, just like Bangkok. Horrid! I bought some office wear for ma new job and then we took photos near the pond outside the mall. It was already around 3pm so time to leave KL.

Decided to go to Melaka for awhile since we would pass by there on the highway. Ken almost fell asleep while drivin' again. Omg... should punish him! So we had our dinner over there. Food was so-so, not as good as what I ate at the rest stop earlier in the day. And that shopping mall sucked, it should close down! We should have gone more inside to the town...

It was around 8.30pm and we had to head back to Singapore.

Power trip!!! Thanks guys for the fun! Next time we shall organise this kinda trips again~
