扫兴

扫兴: (Canto: Shou Heng) means an act which makes a particular situation unhappy. And sad to say, I'm an expert at it.

During the weekend, I decided to go on a little trip to Genting with my friends, the Confucian clan. Truth to be told, I was never a fan of it as I am darn broke. Nevertheless, Wai Kiat and I traveled to Genting by the 6pm Genting Express on Friday. Point to be noted about Genting Express is, they are sure punctual. I mean really, REALLY punctual. The driver wouldn't wait even for a second.

There was this guy pleading for the bus driver to wait a while, as his friend was yet to come. But the driver was certainly not a tolerant one. He left despite the many pleas from the poor guy.

So we reached the peak around 7.30 pm and had dinner @ a Chinese restaurant called 'Tong Lo Wan'. (Causeway Bay) Anyways, the food was super expensive. Guess how much a normal 'Yong Chau' fried rice cost me ? A bloody RM 15.90. I think it would normally cost around RM 8.90 back at KL. One dinner and I'm RM 20 ++ poorer.

Later, we walked around the area (First World to Genting and back) and settled down at the hotel, awaiting the return of those who went for the Jackie Cheung concert. When they returned, we got into little chats and went to bed. Boring huh ? I tried to engage them into longer conversations, but none bothered to respond. Poor me.

Guess which is mine ?

Sleeping was a torture to me. I'm no good at sharing beds. I just feel so restricted. Like I dare not move, afraid to wake the person beside me. Thus, I stayed awake through the night.

Quite expectedly, I was left tired and drowsy the second day. Even so, I got my lazy butt up and went exploring around with my friends.

We went bowling, into the casino and tried rock climbing. It was only RM 4 a climb, inclusive of equipments. That, I reckon was a steal. Anyways, take a look yourself.

Above was the highest I managed. I did not lose my grip or fell but I gave up. It wasn't because I was too tired or something, just that I couldn't find the next firm grip to elevate myself up. So, I let myself drop. It was pretty cool and scary actually, just letting go and jump down.

But before I jumped, I managed to strike a pose.

After that, we really had nothing to do. It wasn't an organized trip and there is actually nothing much to do in Genting. I can't say I was pissed off. But you know, I had this feeling of sick of not knowing what to do plus I was tired and so I said I was going back to the hotel to sleep.

I know, all the way up to Genting just to sleep ? It was pretty 扫兴.

I am always like that I noticed. I don't know whether my absence made a difference but I think it certainly does make an impact. I guess I should learn to get a hold of myself.

It's snowing in Genting Hotel !

So I had my sleep and later had dinner with them. I think the dinner was the most worthwhile dinner in Genting. It was at Be a Star karaoke. They had this offer, where depending on the meal you choose, cheapest RM 15 nett and most expensive RM 20 nett, you get a meal, a drink and 2 hours of karaoke. Quite a deal, right?

After the karaoke session, those who went for the Jacky Cheung concert decided to go for another session.

This time standing on the bridge outside the Arena of Stars. Crazy right ? They actually stood there through the whole concert.

That pretty much sums up the trip. Had fun getting to know someone new, Lye Quan's friend, Foong Yee and the quality time I spent with my friends of 7 years.
