Genting, Kuala Lumpur 五天四夜游 (22nd Dec to 26th Dec) - 4

What can you do in Genting?

1. 避暑。Genting is around less than 20 degree Celsius. It is more than 1800 m above sea level. So it is good to experience the coldness if you feel hot in the city.

2. Casino. Yes. Many people come here specially to gamble! It has more than 5 casinos and opening 24 hours per day. So you can gamble till drop.

3. Shopping. There are some nice shops around though not the best and as good as KL. Simple shopping are available but I feel the price is high.

4. Theme parks. There are a lot of rides to be experience. Mainly for kids.

5. Food. Many good food there. Fast food, restaurant food, food court food, snack foods, cafe food... Quite a good choice.

6. Entertainment. If you look through the calendar, you might be lucky and some of your favorites artistes or groups might be there performing. I end up watching a performance called Freeze. A ice skating performance with magic...

Genting, Kuala Lumpur 五天四夜游 (22nd Dec to 26th Dec) - 3

As I only in Genting for a day, I wanted to stay at First World Hotel. But a visit to Tripadvisor, first 10 latest reviews 都给与超烂评价。So I decided to stay at Maxims Genting which has a rather good review. Is it good? Lets see.

Room:
The hotel seems recently done an overhaul cos it seems pretty new to me in the interior. I stayed at their Premier Room and was quite happy with the room size. The room view I got is looking at a low building roof. But the sky clears up, you get to see the the Pagoda of nearby temple and KL tower and Petronas twin towers (need to zoom using camera etc..). The bed is from Simmons and it very comfortable. The pillows are very good too. You get complementary bottle waters, newspaper and fruits. However, there is no free wifi in the room.

Bathroom:
The bathroom is of a very good size. The bathtub is on right hand side and the toilet bowl and bathing cubicle is on the left hand side. It has a nice rain forest shower and two basins for you and your partner. The bathroom amenities are packed nicely in a pouch. The bathing amenities are from Aigner. The towels are of good size.

Services:
The service need to brush up. When I arrive at the entrance lobby, nobody seems to care to help with my baggage. The staffs at the counter speaks pretty good English and friendly. The check in is pretty easy. I was asked to take a seat the couch and was given a hot welcome Chinese tea which is a nice touch due to the cold weather. Check out is equally quick at the same place. Many staffs at the door are more interested in chatting among themselves. The staffs over the breakfast area are also stingy on the smiles. They also lack of knowledge when ask where to take bus to KL.

Overall, I feel the hotel is quite good just that staffs might need to be trained more. Location is pretty ok as whole Genting resort is linked up. So walking to anywhere is easy. Just that you need to walk a bit longer to main shopping area, fast food and theme park.

Genting, Kuala Lumpur 五天四夜游 (22nd Dec to 26th Dec) - 2

The first day I went to Genting first. It is about N years ago since I went to Genting. So this is why I decided to go to Genting on the first day of my 大马游。I stayed at Maxims Genting Hotel.

So how do you go there?

1. Took a plane to KLCC.
2. Took a Airport Express (RM35) to KL Sentral.
3. Take a Genting bus (~RM10) to Genting.

But I did not do item 3 as I was there at 10am and the next bus is 12.30pm! So instead of 3, I

4. Take a Genting taxi (~RM25 per pax, min 4 ppl to go) to hotel.

There is a Genting taxi company just beside the Genting bus counter. It need 4 ppl before the taxi will go. If you only have 2 ppl, you have to wait for other ppl to take with you. If not, you need to wait for 45 mins and then if still no ppl, you just need to pay RM25 per pax and the taxi will still go. The best thing about Genting taxi is that it can just alight at whatever place in Genting. The journey took about 1 hour.

So how is Maxims Genting Hotel? 下回分晓

Genting, Kuala Lumpur 五天四夜游 (22nd Dec to 26th Dec) - 1

Recently I just back from 一年一度的北上大马游。 When I told my friends I am going to KL for 5 days. Their first reaction is:"KL so fun meh?Need 5 days?" 他们不知道的是 I am meeting my KL friends and 5 days really not enough!! Ha... This time round I have met 6 KL friends there. They are L君 and 猫小姐。 小马 and 丽沙。 龙秀 and 凤舞。

So where did they bring me this time? 下回分晓。

四川豆花 make my wobby...

Last week went to 四川豆花 at UOB for dinner. Dunno what did I eat, after that I feel a bit not well. Stomach like bloated. Then guess what? Next day, I vomited 4 times!!! Woah!!!! Any way, the ambience is not as good as China Club. It is pretty crowded and noisy. Populated with a lot of Japanese! Surprisingly..

第17届《新加坡金曲奖 》得奖名单

Can see that this year not many overseas artistes attend. That is why I guess this year award winners mainly focus giving out to local artistes instead. Some results so unconvincing.

O**C Bank Sucks

Just call up this bank. Their policy sucks... Going to slowly withdraw all my services from them...

The Lion King Musical

I have gone down Marina Bay Sands to see The Lion King Musical. The costume, singing and props are quite good. But they shine the spot light into audience eyes three times which I find it disturbing and irritating. They also try to inject some local humor which some might find it weird. Things like :"I tot I saw Merlion", "HDB upgrading". Also they input some mandarin 臺詞 such as "謝謝﹐鼓勵。" The show I feel is a bit long at around 2h 15 mins. Of cos, the final highlight of this event is to buy myself some Lion King souvenir. Haa!!

訂早報﹐送攝影機﹗

There is a promotion lately. If you subscribe 早報, you can get gifts plus a 10% discount in subscription rate. Why not since my family reads 早報。The gift I got is a camcorder. It is a pretty simple camcorder. I all along wanted to buy a simple camcorder for fun. But just that I dun wish to pay for one. Ha... 它來的真是時候﹗

A trip down to 巴厘岛 (住二)

I also stayed in Seminyak. It is a pretty good area to stay. Close to Kuta but not too crowded. However, if you take into the consideration of the bad jam, it can take more than 30 min just to travel to Kuta from Seminyak (which is a less than 10 mins drive on good traffic condition). The hotel I stay is Bali Villa. The location is pretty good. A few minutes walk bring you many shops and eateries.

A trip down to 巴厘岛 (住一)

Before flying over, I was spoilt for choices on where to stay in Bali. But finally I have narrowed down to two locations. First is Ungasan and the next is Seminyak.

Ungasan is at the very south of Bali. Taking a cab from Airport will take you 45 mins. The location 可說是鳥不生蛋。It is pretty far from everything. Even the nearest town is about 15 mins drive. So staying here is mainly to relax and not to venture out to anywhere. The hotel I stay is Banyan Tree. 這裡就如世外桃源﹗I would strongly recommend to stay here for at least one night for the fantastic view of Indian ocean!!

回归

Today I will start my blog again. Quite a lot of things happened for the past 6 months plus prompted me to take a break. Now I am back.... My 回归之作 will be my trip to Bali. Look out for it.

重新出发

休息了大半年，是时候开始恢复写我的blog。七月一日，自有分晓。

Hello 2011!

Happy New Year!!
