Genting Highland

Several of my course mates wanted to go Genting Highland in this break. I followed. The trip was just fine only.

We paid RM38 for the outdoor theme park tickets. However, we just managed to play 2 games only, namely the swing and dragon coaster. OMG, say RM38/2, each game costs us RM 19. Hell-y expensive! Actually it was not because too many people that we had to queue for long but the extreme weather, precisely the mist! It was so freaking terrible that I couldn't see people 10m in front of me. Not at all! The weather is apparently disastrious, but I love it's icy cool and higly moist. It's so refreshing and I was like walking in the dreamland when surrounding was blur!!

They waited for almost an hour for the cyclone coaster (four person per coaster) just to be informed that the coaster had to be shut down as the weather was too bad. By the way, they were supposed to go next coaster. So, freaking Siu! While I was eating my wafer resting somewhere. I almost burst my stomach laughing at them. haha...

Here come the nice part. So, we had to stay in door. Some went back to Theme Park Hotel, while me, boon how and Chin went to the casino. By the way, I was 2 months underage! But so what hor, I managed to enter without having the securities to ask for my IC while the other two were asked. As that's the first time for 3 of us being in a casino, we just observed around. Didn't make any investment. We also went to the tutorial counter to ask how are the games played. A hokien spoken girl was explaining to us! haha...(What Ang Gong)...As it's overly smoky, we just stayed for an hour like that.
P/s: for those who used to tease me can't go in casino, paiseh to let you down babe!

At night, we had a very nice bowling session in First World Plaza. Lol, I used to be the king of superbowl, but that night I wasn't doing a good job. Just scored 90plus, while the rest exceeded 100 with Chin being #1 scoring 131. Excellent! Arh...fyi, I ever scored 163 (lansi)! After that, we went to the Monte Carlo, an investment center, precisely the Highland Casino lar. Again, I managed to enter! Yea, I looked like a man alr, not a boy anymore! There got smoking and non smoking area. I was kinda sleepy and not confident to put in my bet until the very last half an hour before we left. So, we played the big/small, odd/single, #1-6 thingy. When my money was on the table, I instantly woke up. Our bet was rather conservative, around RM5 to RM 10. At the end, we all managed to make little gain. "low risk, low gain". We hanged around for 3 hours plus and then went back sleep.

Next day, we camwhored around Genting and left. Half way going downhill we stopped by a Bak Ku Teh restaurant. I would have to say that's the nicest one I had ever tried! The taste was just gang gang. The pork lean, pig leg, usus babi, Foo Zou, You Zha Gui...etc, everything was nice! Topping up by the cool weather, it tasted even better as we didn't have to sweat whole wet.

That's all about Genting trip. I gotta acknowledge Ong for taking care my welfare in KL. He brought me around eating nice food. I like a very special porridege together with dim sun in Cheras and 13 sticks of Kajang Satey. I love the mutton satey so much.

"What is your biggest acheivement ?"

Yesterday, during a very boring class, someone abruptly threw a stunning question: "What is the your biggest achievement? " On the spot, I can't really give a sound answer.

Collectively, yea I dear to say that I have had quite some accomplishments. In primary school, I used to be the athlete two years in a row but I lost in the district running events. I involved also in school handball and basketball team. Academically, okok only. Secondary school, nothing much other than scoring pretty fine in SPM, which bunches of people out there did it better. (Shit...screwed up Bahasa Cina, like what happened in my PMR). Again, I was part school basket and football team. Club thingy I didn't involve much. However, I was very active in 二十四节铃鼓, sort of a chinese drum club. We managed to win gold and silver in the state competition. I guess that's really big moment for us! Ironically, the junior team was the champion instead of us being the senior team. swt. In university, I participated some clubs, held some posts and organised some events. Thus far, the biggest moment was NACES 2008 in UPM being the first runner up for technical paper presentation.
P/s: May left out some.

Talking about the biggest one, I doubt to tell which one of them. This is because different people different horizons, expectations, boundaries and levels. Well, to me all these change over time. Meeting new people get new inspirations or even influences, they all will change accordingly!

Long ago, I didn't think I would enter an university, here am I now. Long ago, I didn't think that I could have a boundless networking, but now I do. Long ago, I didn't think that I could write in English, here I do also. Long ago I never thought I would be an engineer, but now I am walking the path. Most unexpectedly, it's oil and gas industry which I scarcely exposed to in those days.

So, to answer "What is your biggest achievement", I would say it is the changes I have experienced thus far. Precisely, the mental and intelligence growth. From a plain sheet of paper, I am totally "tainted". I am not who is used to be! That's it lar...
