the f.i.n.a.l. installment

How I wish that the title actually reflects my car loan... the final installment! Perhaps I should dream on later...


Superb aerial view from the 22nd floor... don't you wish you can wake up to this every morning?

Well, most of the day was spent in the casino (Starworld :: seems easy and convenient to enter, moreover, was not prepared for much formality). Practically, 5 out of 10 individual in the casino is a smoker. Yeapz, the ultimate multi-taskers. You'll be amazed that they are able to gamble, strategize, smoke, drink, and even cuss at any given moment. As I lack experience on table gaming, I decided to go for slot machines, less crowd, less smoke, less hassle. There were like hundreds and hundreds of different slot machines to choose from. Talk about being spoilt for choices...

I did win 10 bucks, hahaha. Considering the slot machine costs 5 cents per spin, 10 bucks is equivalent to a 20,000% win. Any reason for me not to be happy? In case you're wondering why there are no pictures, cameras are not allowed in the casino. If you ever thought of 'curi-curi' take a photo, please follow the instruction noted below beforehand:

Look at the freaking ceiling

There are practically more CCTVs there than the grand total of rooms in First World Hotel (ok... I am exaggerating, but there really is A LOT of cameras). Heed my advice...

Indoor theme park night view

Walked around, enjoying the cool breeze before getting major headache on deciding where and what to eat. This is actually the first time ever (for me) for a trip to Genting without eating any fast food... *beaming with pride* So we went back to Flavours to try out their food minus the 'tong sui'; I must have pretty good taste/great sense in ordering as all the stuff that I wanted was sold out... So, we had some:

Rice with ABC Soup

Chicken with BBQ sauce + rice


Therefore, this trip is basically filled with lots and lots of eating and shopping; other activities include:

4D-Motion Master :: had me wondering what happened because I think my vision cacat-ed. I could not really experience what happened even with the following combination:
- wearing glasses + special specs provided
- not wearing glasses + special specs provided
- wearing glasses
- not wearing glasses
- wearing glasses + mun yee's special specs provided (which she said worked wonders for her)
- not wearing glasses + mun yee's special specs provided

Therefore, I concluded that it was indeed my vision's fault. IMHO, it was nothing different than a 3D thingy except:
- the seats are moving (motion master mah!)
- at one scene where snakes were crawling towards us, they added some props below the seats that whips our leg (as though the snakes are wiggling between our legs... hahaha, lame but creative...

Bowling :: I cannot even stress how bad the game was ... No mere words can reflect it...

Terribl-est game I ever played...

Performance :: Free show at center stage, traditional dances and performance by some unknown singers - but damn passionate and talented

Soon, enough, it was time to leave... it was a great relaxing getaway...
