My holiday!

Over the Chinese New Year holidays, I went with my father, mother, uncles and aunt to Genting Highlands Resort, first of all, let me state something: I'm sorry, I did not get you guys gifts. I forgot, sorry.

First of all, we went to the coach terminal at Lavender. As we were early, we decided to head to a nearby coffeeshop for breakfast, when we got back, we boarded the coach.
After around 7 hours, we reached First World Hotel at Genting! the weather there was very chilly, 14 degrees Celsius! Almost as cold as it was when I went to Korea 2 years ago!

After checking in and plugging in my PSP which had run out of battery on the way to the charger, we went down to the level of the indoor theme park and ate 'Kenny Rogers' for dinner where I had spaghetti and muffins we went around exploring the whole hotel and shopping a little. While shopping, I met Nikki who was also holidaying at Genting! what a small world! My parents had bought me another stufffed white tiger for my collection, which has now been expanded to three! Afterward, we went up to 'level 2A' and into the bowling alley! Our lane was full of problems, first, my bowling ball kept getting stuck at the back of the lane and I had to wait around 2 minutes each time for it to return back to the bowling area, as well as the pins getting sweeped away before the end of the frame. In the end, I played three games and I ended up with scores of around 100 for each of the 3 games. We did not do much on the first day, and I was very tired from the coach ride so I decided to sleep early.

Here's a picture of my three tigers:

Aren't they cute, I named theme after the three brothers of Shu: (From left to right)
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Liu Bei!

On the second day, we woke up and had a buffet breakfast that I feel was lacking in quality. Afterward, we went to Diadora and my parents bought me a pair of long pants and then, My father, uncles and I went to the outdoor theme park. While we were in the queue of a roller coaster, the weather took a turn for the worse and it started raining. more than half of the rides were closed because of the bad weather so we had no choice but to visit the indoor theme park the roller coaster was mediocre, but being indoors they were unable to make a very exciting one. The bumper cars were going way too slow and I could hardly feel any impact at all, and the line for the 4D movie was way too long.

We went to the arcade where we tried a few video games as well as skill games, in which we won some tickets and points to exchange for prizes! I won a kiddy bag with a tiger on it as I hit a 'big prize' in one of the skill games. Afterward, we had a very good buffet at a nearby hotel which i think was Resort hotel where I ate till I could not eat anymore. After dinner we headed back to our rooms and I played my PSP and slept.

On the third and final day, we did more shopping and went around browsing through the shops. On the coach back there was an electrical socket beside my seat, which I made very good use of and charged my PSP while playing. On the way back, we were stopped by some Malaysian traffic police for a reason that i still do not know until now. We got home at about 8.30p.m and rested up, that's why you get to read this post today!

I fell that although Singapore is not as big as Malaysia, our government is much better and controls the country very strictly yet fairly which is why now we are so prosperous. I feel that I am very fortunate to live in such a safe and peaceful country such as Singapore.

More pictures will come in soon!
