The Last Minute Phone Call

Day: Friday 8th April 2005
Time: 4.45 pm

The Don: Darling, is it too late to apply leave for Monday?
Mrs Don: Leave? Why? What's on Monday?
The Don: I was thinking.. since my meeting is on Monday afternoon, why don't u come along with me to KL tomorrow then maybe we can squeeze in Genting on Sunday or Monday morning ?
Mrs Don: Really?? (big grin) Then wat about the BBQ on Saturday?
The Don: It's ok. After the bbq, we leave straightaway for KL.
Mrs Don: YAHOOOO!!!!!!!!

The initial plan was only for The Don to go to KL to meet his prospective Malaysian business counterparts but I ended up tagging along as well. The eventual drive to KL only happened on Sunday morning due to the BBQ ending later than we planned. (officially ended at East Coast at midnight but for the rest of us it unofficially ended at 3am Sunday hehe)

The drive up to Genting was much steeper and much more dangerous than I remember. We decided against taking the cable car and drove up all the way to the peak and The Don had to negotiate corners like this one....

We spent almost the entire Monday morning at the Outdoor Theme Park. While some of the rides were pretty lame(dun bother with the unconvincing space simulator!), the roller coasters were quite fun. We sure had a helluva time on the double loop roller coasters (and we sat in the front!!!) Image hosted by Photobucket.com
and the "adult version" of merry-go-round

We had so much fun The Don was even late for his 3pm meeting but he didn't seem to mind the slightest bit. And thanks to our cousins Abg Wan n Kak Ida we did managed to taste the famous Satay Kajang even though we only got as far as the Sungai Buloh exit.


Despite it being a super short n impromptu trip and no shopping time whatsoever, it was truly a wonderful weekend getaway....

Aiyo darling, I was in Genting last monday. Most of the games you played, were bloody lame and have been there since I was 8. I'm 22 now. 23 on this 19th. So it sux.

Yang best ialah space shot dengan roller coasters yang macam superman tue. yang kena bayar extra 10 bucks.

Genting was bloody small, why haven't we bump into each other? It's a bitchy world nowadays. Love ya.

I was there from 10.30am till it close at 6.30pm.

Downtown East Escape Theme Park? I thought Pulau Sentosa would offer much much more than that.
