Genting 2009

Day 01, 28th June 2009, Sunday


Right after arriving in Genting, we headed straight to the Hainanese Chicken Rice Restaurant for lunch. I’ve missed you, my black teh-o!!!


Okay this picture mainly for the amusement of how stick figure is bowled over by his receiving enlightenment.


Decor of the Hotel Resort Genting, the place we stayed at. Ti and Pa shared one bed, while I had one all to myself. Luxurious!!!


The only photo of the three of us.


After that we decided to try out the free WiFi at The Coffee Bean downstairs. Their mobile WiFi sucks. I kept logging out! Also, the cakes weren’t nice at all, and I’m not saying this out of spite. It was a horrid experience.

Day 02, 29th June 2009, Monday


Outside the outdoor theme park. The sad thing is that Ti is too chicken/bored to go for the rides while Pa is too old to attempt them. In his own words, “I’ll walk in there and get carried out,” to which I lol-ed like nobody’s business, unfilial daughter that I am.


Some of the same flowers that I saw last year, except that this time they’re in stages of wilt :(


This stalk had full blooms though!


But the next stalk I saw further uphill was in an even worse condition.


The indoor theme park’s merry-go-round.


They had a Vietnam Culture exhibition. These ladies were making sand paintings. I especially liked the one of the lady in front of the moon. The interesting thing is that both sides were a different picture. Power!


After that we walked a lot and had lunch at Old Town. I was terrified when the prawn mee I’d ordered came in red. It wasn’t as spicy as it looked, but I still couldn’t finish it. Old Town’s WiFi was still the best I’d ever had the pleasure of enjoying.

Day 03, 30th June 2009, Tuesday


Buffet breakfast provided by the hotel in the mornings.


Some snaps of the room before we left. Am especially taken with the toilet because the wardrobe could be accessed both from the corridor and from inside the toilet! Pa thinks it’s stupid but I think that it’s an awesome design!

That’s it for my short trip to the highlands.

Now excuse me while I try to down the ginger tea and pretend that some dust got into my eye as I sob over a burnt throat. After that I shall comfort myself with some manga and then lay down on the bed feeling down and trying to keep the food in my stomach because my flu-induced poor appetite tried to reject what little I could force feed myself in order to take my meds.

I don’t want to be sick anymoreeeee :(

Kuching – for a place that does not derive it’s name from cats, it sure does identify a lot with its phonetic similarity.

BRB, again.

Will be off to Kuching tomorrow afternoon, but not before battling biometric scanners that refuse to scan my thumb (so far it’s been a 100% fail rate due to my paper-thin skin pfft).

I went to Ruby to stock up on the cheapo b&w film that I’ve come to love and feel comfortable with last Saturday. What do you know, the boss just happened to forget to stock up the shop with it. At least I got a roll of high ISO to play with…

BUT THIS MEANS I ONLY HAVE 5 ROLLS IF I WANT TO BRING THE SLR (which I do!!!):

1) Delta 3200 (the one I bought, $7)
2) Pan 400 (my regular love)
3) Provia 100F (slide to try, $10.20 the horrors)
4) Kodak 200 (my uncle’s friend’s shop closed and he gave some film away :( )
5) Centuria 200 (same uncle’s friend, though I read bad reviews from this film)

I don’t want to shoot so many color film… I want to shoot b&w so that I can develop them by myself :( Maybe tomorrow I’ll get my lazy ass down to town to get some.

Will be back on Monday night. In the meantime, do contend with woe-faced Shortie from the color neg film that finally made it to the labs.

I miss her muchly!

Also, I found out that I have one roll of exposed b&w. Have seriously no idea what it contains.

BRB

Don’t say where I am.

And wait for me.
