It had been nine days of absolute bliss. Assignments thrown to the back of the mind, lack of sleep cured, and most importantly, I got to gather with my family at Genting Highlands!
My younger sister and I had to take a bus up since the car couldn't take so many people. When we arrived at One Utama at 11.30 a.m.,we were told that the next bus would be at 2.30 p.m. That certainly put a hitch on our plan. Can you imagine our frustration?
We bought the tickets and went for lunch. After taking a look at the available restaurants, we decided to go for pizzas. It's not really very satisfying since we have to limit ourselves to a very small budget.
By 2, we were waiting at the bus station again. We boarded the bus a couple of minutes after 2.30. Urgh....Malaysian time!
The one-hour-ride was uneventful. We dozed off after a little while. When we arrived at the Skyway station, our eyeballs nearly fell out - there were already over one hundred people in the line. How I wished to cancel the trip.
Luckily, it wasn't a long wait as I thought. In fact it was very fast. We only waited for about fifteen minutes.
The cable-car ride was scary. all the sounds from the cable, the height, the movement of the car.....scared us out of our wits.......not really. It was scary, yes, but also a unique experience.
Finally, we arrived at Genting at about 3.30p.m. What a hassle; we were 3 hours behind the rest of our family and they waited for us for lunch which turned into hi-tea.
Although we spent our time in the free hotel room, we still enjoyed ourselves. It was relaxing. However, I would prefer the calmness of Bukit Tinggi. If I had more budget, I would have preferred The Japanese Tea House there.
One day..........I promise myself.
