Just came back from my Genting trip last night. A short but fulfilling holiday. The holiday was practically eat, shop, gamble, eat, fun at theme park, shop, eat, gamble, eat and sleep. As you can see, most of the times are eating compared to sleeping. Hahaha... Like what Elaine said, I too is a bad fat girl =P. Here comes the many photos taken during my short and enjoyable holiday in Genting.

All of us feeling comfortable on the Grassland Express coach

My notti one was anxiously trying to test the games on the coach.

My dear dear bought me waffle ice-cream when we stopped halfway for break =)

The guys having their smoke break when we finally reached First World Hotel

After the long journey, both my dear dear and I were feeling tired but happy

After checking in, all of us went in search for some food to fill our stomachs and we found this chinese restaurant selling tim sum.

Some of the tim sum we ordered

After some tim sum, we adjourned to the noodle house next to the restaurant and had second round of breakfast =p Eh well, the cooling weather makes people gets hungry easily mah.

Lovely views of Genting in the morning

My dear dear and his colleague, Thomas, took a pic at the hotel lobby

Me and my beloved dear dear

After checking out the casino and a few games, some stayed on to gamble while me, my dear dear and Thomas went to the Outdoor Theme Park.

After taking the go-kart rides, we saw this which I have tried before 4 years ago. Having a slight fear in heights, the two adventurous guys went ahead to try this free-fall ride without me.

Eh I saw the two of them dunno discussed simi while waiting in the queue for their turn. Keke.. So I started snapping the comical sight of them =D

An up-close snapshots of them =P

The heavy fog slowly covered the top of the tower. I am sure those people up there on the ride sure can't see anything except the fog

Finally it's their turn to take the ride =)

Up they went and back! They seemed to love it and showed me a thumbs up sign

Next was the roller-coaster ride named Cockscrew

After the rides at the theme park, we went for our lunch at this Japanese restaurant.

Some of the sushi we ordered and not forgetting the must-have chawanmushi.

Everybody enjoyed the food very much and it was really cheap. 6 of us and the bill only came up to RM300 leh.

After the hearty lunch, it was free and easy for all of us. Some went for shopping, some went to the casino and some went back to their room to rest. Walked pass the Watsons at our hotel and saw them selling Kate products which used to be available in S'pore. Not wanting to miss the chance, I bought a loose powder and a mascara at a discount =) I is lucky de lor.

A few hours later, it's time for dinner le and we decided to have it at Kenny Roger. The guys were tired but still got energy to pose for photos.

Our sumptuous dinner at Kenny Roger. After that, we adjourned to Starbucks for coffee and cakes somemore lor. We really eat and eat and eat but that's what holidays are supposed to be, right? =) Actually, we went to Starbucks to pass time while waiting to watch the movie, Diehard 4.0.

While waiting to go into the theatre, these two guys saw the Transformers poster and started to go into posing mode lor -_-''''

Since I can't stop them, I join them =D

Diehard 4.0 is a great action-packed movie which I recommend to all of you. The movie ended at about 4am plus and by then, all of us were looking like zombies liao. Hahaha... So we went back to our respective rooms and rest for the night.

Next morning, we woke up early to have brunch and do some last minute shopping before we check out and wait for our coach.

Goodbye Genting....

Dear dear, thanks for bringing baby to this Genting trip and was a much-needed one for both of us to relax. Baby totally enjoyed herself and hope you enjoyed too. Thanks for pampering me. Love you loads! Muacks!

MeEt mY fLoWeRpOd fOrUm fRiEnD

Just now went online to check my exam results for the two modules I took 2 months ago and I can say I am so pleased with my grades. I got Grade B for my Business English and Grade A for my Quantitative Maths. The late nights and burning of midnight oil are all worth it! Now I am so gonna study even harder for the next 2 modules, Financial Accounting and Economics. Exams are coming again in about 1 month's time.

As my dear dear will be having his exams around the same time as me, he said we should go for a short holiday to relax ourselves first. So last Friday he went to book a Genting trip for us and some of his colleagues. He said its a little treat from him to thank me for bringing him to watch wrestling next month. Heez... So very sweet of him =) After our exams, he will be bringing me along to his company's trip which is gonna be a cruise. I have never been to a cruise before and I am so looking forward to it.

Last Friday, I went to meet this friend of mine whom I got to know from this beauty forum, Flowerpod, which I used to visit often. 3 years ago, she left for Australia to further her studies but we still keep in touch via MSN. Last week, she emailed me saying she will be coming to S'pore for holiday. So after a few email exchanges, we decided to meet up for dinner and some catching up. Although it was a small group and also a pity as the rest like Elaine and Noelle couldn't make it to join us, but we still enjoyed ourselves that night. So very sweet of her to buy some chocolates for us.

pLaY! A ViDeO GaMe SyMpHoNy

Last Friday, my sweet dear dear brought me to watch a Video Game Symphony at the Esplanade Concert Hall presented by Singapore Arts Festival. The two planned concerts as well as the additional concert of the Asian premiere of PLAY! were sold out. It is unique as it reaches out to both music players and gamers by combining classical music played by a full symphony orchestra with the pop culture of video games.

Some of the titles played that night might be familiar to most of you. They were Super Mario Bros, Daytona (It goes,"Daytona~.... Daytona~...." when you play the beginner stage that music lolz)and Sonic the Hedgehog. For gamers, you might be more familiar with titles like the Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid, World of Warcraft, Kingdom Hearts and Blue Dragon.

My dear dear and I was really very impressed and totally immersed throughout the whole concert. Having seated on the 4th row from the stage, we could feel the full impact of the orchestra. I even saw this musical instrument, the Harp, for the first time in my life. It was huge and so fairy-tale. We simply couldn't get enough of the concert. I clapped so hard until my hands turned red lor. Even after the final title "Final Fantasy VII, One-Winged Angel", the one which we were so much looking forward to hearing it ended, the encore from the audience were deafening. We all want more! So the last title played was Shinobi which won the highest votes online.

Tickets were bought sometime in March to secure the best seats

Me and my excited dear dear

We had Ramen for dinner @ Marina Square before we went for the concert

Pang kor kor, my dear dear's colleague joined us for the concert too. Supposed to have another colleague joining but he couldn't make it at the last min. 1 ticket wasted wor =(

After the concert, I got a sms from lovely Elaine asking me whether I wanna join her and her friends for coffee. Without hesitation, I agreed to join her. We had a great time though it was only for a short while. Let's arrange to meet up again, ya? =)

RiVeRbOaT ReStAuRaNt

Met up with pweeti mama Noelle last Friday for dinner. Many thanks to her because she brought me to this riverboat restaurant at Marina South Pier. It was a lovely place indeed, be it with friends or loved ones. Moreover, the prices are pretty affordable. Both Noelle and I had a great time enjoying the food, the gentle sea breeze and occasional rocking of the boat. We even explored the other decks and took lots of photos shown below. Heez... Enjoy!
