Hi guys...yea..u guessed it..late updates again...kinda disappointing huh...lol...i actually typed one whole entry before i went to genting...but somehow i deleted the whole thing...before i could hit Ctrl + Z, the thing autosaved...gahz...i guess technology is like a double edged sword...sometimes good sometimes bad...in the end blogger helped me auto save a blank page...thanks blogger..:) Ok...but still...no excuse for blogging late..haha..but its still better than never blog...yup..so here are some updates...simple and short ones...:D
Update 1Well I had a close shave with dengue 3 days before i went to Genting...And there wasnt any shaving cream to go with it......*silence...* Ok...nvm...So first i had high fever...and on the third day i had spots all over my hands and feet...(These are the EXACT symptoms of dengue...) I went to the doctor...and i was totally sian-ed diao..cause i totally didn't expect it and I will be disappointing Jin zi and Jeremy & Kailin if I couldnt make it...I was so frustrated I kept sighing...haiz..haiz...haiz...till my mum said..can u pls dont sigh anymore...lol..
So i went to Tan Tock Seng hospital to have a blood test...and i remember looking at the doctor and asking him "Is it dengue?" I was telling myself that i was ready for the worst news...
He told me he had to take my blood sample...so i put out my right hand...and let him draw blood...lol and although i kinda got used to blood test already..it still kinda hurt abit..after all its a needle poking thru ur veins rite? lol..so he took one tube of blood and i was somewhat relieved..Just went i was holding on to the cotton bud to stop the blood, he looked at me and said "I think i didnt draw enough blood...I'll draw more..." My first reaction was "WHat?! Same arm??" Lol...no kidding...i really said that to him...then he replied, looking very amused "No la...the other arm..." =_= Like there's any difference...lol...in fact i dunno y i asked that...haha...Ok...so no choice..one more prick....Ow...
Finally he was done and i went to have a meal..cause he said that the test results will only be out only after 1 hour...I remembered i didnt eat much cause i was just too worried...lol and i had to hold up both my arms thank to mr doctor...lol...the meal seemed really long cause i was really worried about the results..Sigh..
Ok..60 mins later i walked back to the test lab...it was a long long walk...everything around grew quiet...i could hear every single lup dub of my heartbeat...the air was dry...and..i'm being to emo now...lol...ANW.. i went to see the doctor... I looked into his eyes and asked... "Is it dengue?" He diaoed back and said... "Your platelet counts are alright..its not dengue..." I leaned back and said "Heng ah!!!" NO KIDDING..i really did say it out loud..lol...but the doctor just looked at me with those =_= eyes and said "Dengue only ma...2 weeks fever only..no need scared die one la..." LOL..this doctor so cool lor...no wonder draw my blood like free one...lol...oh well i dun really care about it...ITS NOT DENGUE!! Genting HERE I COME!!! :D
Update 229/07/2007 - 31/07/2007 : I had a hell of a time in GENTING!! Lol...ok ok basically i went genting with Jin Zi, Jeremy and Kai Lin...it's sorta like the first time i'm out overseas with non family..heh! Not including the band trips during secondary school days...lol..anw...i really enjoyed myself la...damn fun...haha...
29/07/2007 : Day 1... Met at 5 plus under Jin Zi's block to wait for kailin's parents to fetch us to golden mile...haha thanks kailin and parents! LOL... Jin zi wasnt really feeling well though..but still she insisted on going...feel really touched ne...THANKS JIN ZI! :D
Yup..so we boarded the grassland bus and began our long and sleepy journey...lol..
On the bus I made some interesting discoveries...
1) The bus was not like the one Christopher Lee, Moses lim or Zhong qing sat on... It was kinda...old....
2) The seats will not allow u to lean back (I mean pressing the buttons...) until u cross the singapore border... =_= like that also happy...
3) The toilet is one interesting place... i will elaborate later..lol...
4) There were many bald old men...
Lol... If i have the pics i will post them kk..haha cause they are all with jin zi...:P
So the journey was really long..haha will be quite boring to describe...but let us talk about the toilet...lol..its actually a small room which cant stop shaking.. (because the bus is moving) In it is one metal pail and one plastic bucket with water in it... So basically u "relieve" in the metal pail..and flush it using the water in the bucket...the funny thing is the difficulty of "aiming" properly for a guy...i mean...i feel like i was shooting a machine gun in an area hit by an earthquake...kept shaking and shaking and shaking and...ya..shaking...lol...so basically u really gotta concentrate...lol...so u will aim properly...and not dirty the place..ok..i shall stop describing...i wonder y i went into so much info..i'm sorry all...:P
So basically we had 2 stop overs and i realised how much kailin loved to eat..haha...and together with jeremy, they brought a HUGE bag of tidbits...its true..it was HUGE! lol..and they just kept eating..haha..good life huh! :P Ya..and on the way we were watching 'the banquet'... Not a bad show..but missed some part cause i fell asleep..:P
Ok ok...lets move on to Genting... After i-forgot-how-many hours of journey..we reached first world hotel...the first thing we did was check in..bla bla...and since i registered the trip under my name...i was sorta like the boss..haha but jin zi was there to pei me queue up and everything..so not too bad..:P
So we checked in and put our laugage in the room and everything...
By the time we were done...it was near 3 pm? or was it 4pm...so it was no longer wise to go to the theme park...cause will be quite a waste of money...so we ended up playing some indoor rides and going to the Ripley's Believe it or Not Museum!! Cool place! With all the cool exhibits and everything..will post the pics if i receive them! :P Took lotsa pics there..haha..
Indoor rides were quite fun...although not very thrilling...we sat on the bum bum car and some indoor roller coaster - which was totally not frightening..lol... anw it was the first time Jin zi played on the bum bum car...fun rite?? heh! :D really...we had fun knocking the senses out of each other..:P Lets go again some day! :D
After the indoor rides we went to the musuem...there were exhibits of the most amazing things on earth...like guys with 2 pupils in one eye...a real unicorn man (who had a bone stick out of his head)... the largest shoe...bla bla bla...too many things to talk about...haha..you guys can go to
http://www.ripleys.com/ for more info...:D
At the end of the museum, jin zi was curious about one of the gantries at the end..those that spin in one direction for u to go out...lol...and we all know that curiousity killed the cat...so she walked thru and guess what? She was stuck in there...cause she couldnt turn back anymore...:P Initially we were all quite worried cause we didnt know where the other side led to..so in the end i went in with her to check it out...:) to our relief..it was just another exit..whew..:) So we went out and waited for jeremy and kailin to come out..:) Really had lotsa fun! :)
Night time...we were free and easy...so Jin Zi and I went to play bowling..haha Jeremy and kailin went to take some indoor rides...:)
30/08/2007 : Day Two.
Started raining since morning...Really dampened our mood cause due to the heavy rain..most of the rides have been stopped...:*( So we first went to fill our stomachs with the free buffet coupon... We ate lots of eggs..bread...Cereal..haha...
After that we just went to walk around..play some arcade and pray that the rain will stop soon...
Fortunately..around 1 plus 2... the rain almost stopped...so we were able to go in and finally played what we went to genting for! :D
Some of the rides we played were:
1) Pirate Ship ( I give it : ***** 5 Stars! Shiok!)
2) Ghost Train ( I give it : * 1 Star! For the effort to make the super-lousy-and-not-so-scary robots)
3) Go-Kart (I give it : *** 3 Stars! Not bad..quite fun..but Jin Zi wasnt feeling too well to join us...next time k!! :D)
4) The Cyclone Rollercoaster ( I give it: **** 4 Stars! Exciting and really fun!)
5) There was this ride whereby we're spun around while hanging our legs out... forgot the name (I give it *** 3 Stars! Quite fun for the 1st ride...lol)
6) The one that resembles the haw par villa ride where u slide down the water (I give it ***** 5 Stars! Super fun! Only me and jeremy took cause it was quite cold for the girls...we ended up being SUPER WET and COLD! But FUNN!!!)
7) Flying Coaster (I give it ***** 5 Stars! SUPER FUN! U fly around while lying on your belly...Extremely thrilling! NICE!!! :D )
Anw...it was at the theme park that made me fall in love with Cup Corn! Credits to Jin Zi..who introduced me to it! :D Thanks jin zi!! Heh...Cup Corn ROX! :D
So at the end of the day...we went to watch this circus kind of show called FLY...lol...Then went back to orh orh le..:)
