Ooooppssss...sorry..tak sempat sambung yesterday. I went home for lunch, decided to take a few mins nap and ended waking up at 1500...so bot Nura and i thot it's better to stay home instead..lazing around. We need the rest anyway. And last nite, stopped by at the chinese opera at an open lot just beside the junction going in to Tmn Sempadan. Probably because of the hungry ghost festival or sth... tapi memang cun la.... Like all the costumes and stuffs... all so colorful and so vibrant... and the voice.. perghhhh... macam pavarotti tuhhh.... heheh.. ok..ok... sambung balik citer genting. :D

Thurs June 26th (cont'd)
It took an hour or so to reach Awana Genting. From there, we took a 20 mins Skyway ride (the cable car) all the way to the theme park a.k.a Puncak Kegembiraan. Heh... it was very foggy. Maybe it rained the day before and the fog was so heavy that our views are quite limited. Darn.... and i thought to myself.... usually they dont allow rides in the theme park if it rains/the fog is too heavy... damn! so.. either its gonna be puncak kegembiraan..or puncak kehampaan la.... anyway.... we enjoyed the scenery and hope that the weather will be great.

Once we were up there, we hurried off for our first ride inthe theme park. It was still very foggy that we cud only see things as far as only 2 metres or so... So we trotted along the roofed walkway and the first ride we saw was this Pirate Train Ride... aahhh.. what the heck.. naik je la.... a warm up ride. Actually i was a little nervous gak at the beginning.. coz i havent been in any rides for quite sometime... so initially i decided to go on the ride with alqas.. skali kena gi one by one.. damn it! so... went in by myself... and halfway thru rasa macam nak tido.... hmm... not challenging langsung... :P takpe... warm up ride.

Next stop.... another so called warm-up ride. We went for the teacup ride. Our cup was spinning like hell.... we ended up pening.... padan muka. After the ride lepak jap by the side coz i had to repair my brooch a little.. damn brooch..haritu baru la nak bikin problem... hampeh! and then, we proceeded to the Matahari ride (the ferris wheel) again, our so-called warm up ride (sebenarnye we opted for that coz all the other rides werent ready yet.) Punya la queue.... when it was our turn, it started to rain and the ride was cancelled... haremmmmm... penat queue...for nothing!!! So keciwa punya pasal, we hurried down to the Swinger... ahh..thank God the thing was opened... and we had one helluva ride... Oh Yessss!!! At last... one actual ride!!!! Rigt after that, we went over for the cyclone ride. Again, we were in luck coz the thing was opened and there werent many people queueing for the ride. The Cyclone is a mini roller coaster thingy.. 4 persons max each ride.. so naik aa... heheh.... kecik kecik cili padi aa that thing.... Ingat kan biasa.... turned out..okay aa jugak..... but not like extra fabulous..just okay...

Right after the cyclone..... the weather was still fine and so we headed to The Corkscrew, the double twisted roller coaster. When we arrived there, we had to wait a while for our turn and then when it was actually our turn, we headed for the front coaster. Alqas and satria at the very front, me behind them. When all the coasters were full, the attendant had fastened the security bars.... and we're ready to go.......... ten!ten!ten!!!! the rain poured!!! Hampeh tahap dewa!!! punyala excited duduk dlm tu.... i mena... the bars were fastened already for god's sakes!! And the goes the attendant sayingt that the ride is temporarily closed because of the rain..... damn.... So we got stranded there for a few mins, waiting for the rain to subside.... reda je sikit, we headed into the indoor theme park.. nak buat apa lagi kat luar.. All the rides were closed. So we went in, had our lunch at kyros kebab.. and continued lepaking inside taking piccies.

When it was nearly 1400, we took our chance aa.. gi lura balik, see if the rain had stopped. Well... it was still drizzling..ingat kalau rides sumer tutup... we'd go down early, sambung lepak at KLCC... hmm.. As the Antique car ride was opened, we decided to get on it.. aahh... what the hell la kan.. might as well get on every ride no matter how boring it might be... So naikla.... And.. when we're cruising down the lane in the car, the sun started to shine!!! Yeayyyy!!!! Alqas was pressing down the pedal so that the car will shoot off as fast as possible.. tapi antique car kan.. mana nak laju... we finished the ride add ran straight up to the the Solero Shot ride... it was opened!!! There were only 2 seats left... so alqas and satria went for it 1st while i waited outside for their bags while trying to gain enough willpower to get on the ride soon after. I looked from outside the ride as the platform was lifted high up..like 3 storey-building height... maybe more... and after 10 secs, the platform swooshed down.. like eeepppppssss!!! man! takotttt..... When both of them got down... satria sworn not to go up the ride again and alqas was superbly excited byt the ride... she said it was best gile nak mampos mampos... huh... As the queue for solero became quite long, we decided to go on the Corkscrew first....as it had just reopened and there werent many ppl there. Thank God, this time the ride bleh go on.... and it sure was fun!!! Best aa... serious.. whoever goes up there and didnt go up both the corkscrew and solero..rugi. Turun je corkscrew we ran straight for the solero... this time its my turn, and alqas agreed to go on the ride again with me... I was half closing my eyes with my hands when we were far up in the sky... my mind was trying so hard not to even think of being on the ride... my heart was racing and beating with some unknown, haywired rhythm and when i finally had the courage the romve my hands off mmy face.... Swooooossshhhh!!! the platform was dropped down and i cud feel my butt not even touching the seat and i could've sworn that my heart was left somewhere up there.... like shit man.... it was awesome!!!!! Then, when it reached like 1/4 of its height, its lifted up and dropped down again for a few time... memang aa best gile nak mampos.... i'd certainly go on that ride again.. for sure!!

Next, we went on the swinger again..just for the fun of it and then hurried to the Sg Rejang Flume Ride where we got wet all over... The flume ride was ok.. but i think i'd prefer the one in Sunway Lagoon better coz that one has three inclines.... the genting one has only two... Next, we proceeded to the Genting Mines Train ride for our very last ride and assumed to be 'drying-up' ride.. coz we thot it'd be an easy family ride and it would get us dry a little... the ride turned out to be quite awesome... it was beyond expectation la... coz we expected some kind of a slow moving wagon.... sekali.... hmmm... it turned out to be one helluva roller coater ride... seram gak coz the ride went thru tunnels.. really dark tunnels and we're quite afraid if our heads will knock the roof of the tunnel... hehhe... worth the ride....

1535, we headed off to the Skyway for our ride down... Hmm.. slept the whole way back to KL... Then after smayang in KL Sentral, took a train to KLCC, sent the piccies fro printing... had dinner at picnic.... tengok Adibah Noor sang at Ramlee Mall, get the piccies, laughed our heads off reminiscing the good times we had up in genting and started to walk up to Bintang Walk..... A day full of fun, lughter and walks.... heheheh... Upon arriving at Bintang Walk, we had a drink at Starbucks while waiting for my mom and bro to pick us up. Around 2315, my bro arrived, he droves us around Uptown before sending alqas and satria to the Duta stn for their midnite bus to pbntr.... Wow... what a terrific day. **Special thbnks to alqas and satria for making the day a great one!!!**
