3 Days 2 nights of Genting Highlands! WooHoo!

Went to Genting last week on Friday night with a big group of our friends. Waited for an hour plus for our coach bus to arrived. After that most of us fell asleep in the bus on the way to Singapore custom checkpoint except for me. I couldn't sleep a wink thoughout the 9-hours long journey. After we went pass the Malaysia checkpoint, again most of them are sleeping. BaoBei snored quite loudly in the bus. I couldn't sleep cos of the cold air-conditioner. We reach our destination at 6am. Had stop for breakfast before that.

When we arrived at our destination, we put our bags in a hall and BaoBei bring me to walk around the hotel. I reluctantly went with him cos I was feeling very tired. We went to casinos, some shopping centres, and 2 arcade games centre. I have never been inside casinos before all my life and was very delighted to have step into a casino!

Went back to the original spot at 11am and proceed to play some games. I played a game that requires to step on 12-steps of colours. It's sort of a memory game. You have to remember all the 12 steps of colours within 30 secs of the card you picked, and then you have to step on the colours that matches with the card that you pick within 3 minutes. Somehow, I manage to win that game in ONE GO. I tried to memorise the 12-steps colours of the card that I pick. BaoBei pick the same card with me but he gets to go first. He won after 2nd try cos he forgot the colour of the last step. While I win at one go. The organiser beep at me with his whistle cos he thought I step on the wrong color(Cos I played Too fast) in the end, his assist said,"She step correctly" He was stunned! Cos he replied,"Huh?! So fast?!" If I am not wrong, I cleared the game within 10 secs flat. The people who are in the queue for the game look at me with big eyes and said,"HUH?! So fast!?" I won a brown bag for the first game.

I then went to play the SAME game for a different prize. The prize is a T-shirt. That queue for the 2nd same game was quite a long queue. Imagine this, I just finish playing the first game with the 12-steps of colours. After I finish the 1st game, I still remembered the colours in my head! When it was finally my turn to play the 2nd game, guess what? When i pick the card, it is EXACTLY THE SAME CARD that I played on the first game! How lucky is that?! Part of me feel like giving it back to the person after looking at it for 3 secs. Cos I already know the steps! But the game rule states that is 30 secs. So I just treat it as a practise even though I know I don't need to. After that, BaoBei and my 3 other friends look at me when it's my turn to play. Again, I cleared the game in one go! This time i think is less than 10 secs. ALL of them were stunned! BaoBei said,"2nd time already!!! 2nd time!!! Clear at one go!!!" Then I heard the people at the queue said,"Wah lau eh! This girl!" I won the T-shirt but then it was too tight and too small for me -_-" I wanted to give the T-shirt away but nobody wants it. After that we went for meeting and called it a day.

I went back to my hotel room first cos BaoBei had to stayed for the meeting and I haven't slept a wink for a total of 40 hours straight!!! Woo! Broke my first record of 24 hours without sleep in year 1998! I duno if I had count correctly, on Friday, I woke up at 7am and haven't sleep until the next day at 10pm. Count it yourself. I don't know is it my imagination or my hearing problem. At first, I hear my hotel room door crack(like someone open the knob of the door) but nobody step in! After that I hear like showering sound coming from the toilet but again, I am alone in the room! I was scared and I went to my bag to place a yellow paper that my mother gave me beneath my pillow. BaoBei only came back at midnight. I was scared to death the whole time!
Day 2:
Went for breakfast early in the morning. I am still not used to waking up so early. Then went for a 5 hours meeting and a group photoshoot which BaoBei missed it cos he was sick. Had a grand wedding-like dinner which they called it "Gala dinner" followed by group dancing in the disco light - WooHoo!!! Went to shop around and experience first hand on a particular incident. I learnt something through the incident and then later shared with my group of friends.

Day 3:
It was time for us to pack up and leave. Went to gather at 11am to leave for Singapore. Again, the journey was very long and each of us gets to share our experience in the bus. When I said that I cleared the game at one go twice, all of them are surprise and jealous at the same time. Especially when I told them I have a very bad memory. All of them don't believe me. I taught them how I remembered the colours and encourage them to try it next year.

I will end here for now. Will blog again some other time.
