Pei Tze attended in order to keep Siew company, and to have some fun herself (and get out of KL for a while).
Timm, a co-worker, and one of his flat-mates, Marilyn, also joined us.
At first things were a bit rough. Normally they have a ticket deal that lets you buy a bus ticket and theme park tickets together. Today, however, they did not have that for some reason. So, we had to hire taxis to go up to Genting.
The cab that I was in had an insane driver. Taxis here in Malaysia are NOT sports cars. They are not well-maintained either. . . But our driver was driving like he was in a race to the top of the mountain!
We all took a cable car up the rest of the way. Apparently May could not take the cable car very well though. She looked very ill when she got out of the cable car!
After that May and her son Jason were very cold. One of the reasons I like Genting and Cameron is the fact that it IS cool in those places. But it is NOT that cold. Whatever.
We all went and ate at a Chinese food place. After that we went to play.
Timm, Marilyn, Andy, Jason and I went to the outdoor theme park. The first ride we went on was an elevator drop. Jason refused to go and Marilyn did not want to go. It was not bad at all. Tim complained that they do not give warning before the drop. For me that was normal, so I do not care about that. Andy thought it was really fun.
After that we rode a stupid boat ride. Jason did not want to do much of anything, but Andy wanted to do things.
We wasted 12 Ringgit for the boys to play some carnival style rip-off games. They played a cork gun game. Jason knocked all of the bottles over, but you do not win unless you knock the bottles OUT of the ring. *rolls eyes*
Jason also was really interested in a ring-toss game. I told him to watch people play. You can not win those games. That is why I call them rip-off games.
After that we went to an indoor archery range. Timm did not want to play, so the rest of us shot arrows. The staff there were strange. They are supposed to coach you. However, they coached placing three fingers below the knocked arrow. I was taught to place my index finger over the knocked arrow and the others below the arrow. Timm had previously worked in a summer camp and he taught kids that way as well.
The staff freaked out when I started shooting that way. They really did not understand when I told them I had been taught to do it this way. I have not shot arrows since I was about Jason's age (11) but I did pretty good for someone who has not shot since middle school!
Here is me shooting:
Sorry about the darkness. I am too lazy to clean these images up and Cameraman Timm is not that good with a camera?
Here are some pictures of my grouping (my target was target number 13, click to enlarge):
I will not post the pictures of the kids here. I am not sure that that is the correct thing to do without their parents' permission. However, Marilyn's grouping was not that good either. . . I am not sure if she has shot before or not. Not that it matters.
After that we tried to get on some other rides. We wanted to ride another roller-coaster, but Jason did not want to, again.
We finally settled on Jason and I going to the go-karts and the rest going on a coaster.
We waited in line forever, but things were too slow! After getting about half-way there and seeing that we would have to wait another 30 minutes or more to drive, I suggested we get our group together and go play in an arcade.
I hate to say this. . . but Jason is a SISSY! His younger cousin, Andy, is a much more daring boy.
In the arcade we played for a little bit. I found my punching machine and managed to beat the high-score and then beat my own high score. The next time around I did not do as well. I really blame that on the machine though. The machine started to have a problem that the pad hits and bounces up without catching, so the hit does not register correctly! Oh well, next time I can beat 1600!
After that we had a mad-dash to the cable cars to get to the bus and come back home. Jessica apparently did not have a comfortable trip. As soon as we were in the terminal she went to the toilet to throw-up.
Now, what do I want to eat? I am tired and hungry and my legs are a bit sore, but I had fun.
I'm glad that you had fun!:)
