Kingdom Of Castle Peak

It has been a long rest for me, so heres the remaining 2 days.

18/12/06 - In the morning, all of us went to the nearby coffeeshop we usually go when we are there. We had Wan Ton Mee, Meat Bun and drinks there. The place was relatively old and maintain its standard ever since the first time i came few years back. My Mum didn't feel well after meal but after eating medicine, she felt better. After that, we found a van that takes us up straight to Genting at 180RM. Considering the troubles we have to go through just to reach Genting in a cheaper price, we decided to go ahead with the van. Comparing with the 200RM given by the hotel, the price is considered quite reasonable already. With that, we took the van and arrived at First World Hotel in about 1hrs 30mins.

Upon arrival, there was a large number of people there and the check-in area was queuing up like mad. Lucky for us, we found seats for my grandma and we didn't took too long to get our rooms. Once we put in our bags in the room, we went off to have our lunch at one open restraurant which was quite not worth the price for the food. After lunch, the adults went to the casino (obviously) while the kids went to play at the theme park. Due to the bad weather condition, the outdoor theme park was closed and left with only the indoor one. With the large number of people there, the queue for every game was so long, plus there is always some maintainance problem with those more popular rides. We only took the 1min roller coaster before we went around shopping instead of queuing as it was just simply too long a wait. We also played archery, bumper car & roller coaster twice.

We also went to the Ripley's believe it or not haunted house. I went in before, so i was expecting somehow the same thing. Well, to my expectation, they changed the whole area with some similar scenes. This time, i led the whole group in after briefing by someone who was talking Malayu that everyone didn't even get a single thing he said. I was scared as well, but i confidently walk my way down as I used my visual well enough to guide me through this. The ghost came out and scare us which was quite dangerous for the weak in heart. My youngest cousin was scared like crazy, he didn't even want to talk after the whole thing. It was after a while, he managed to overcome it.

19/12/06 - Finally the last day of holiday. We check out of the hotel after having a Mac's breakfast there. It quite worth it there but at the wrong time. With less than SGD$6, you can get a breakfast meal with a hot & cold drink of your choice. We waited at the lobby while waiting for the bus departure time, which was when we met up with one of my uncle with his family and his friends. I went up to their rooms to say hi and chatted with my cousins.
During the bus ride home, as we went to fetch some people from KL, and as we were turning in the tire of the bus just split off and the bus went haywire. Lucky again for us, the bus driver was experience enough to take control of the bus well. If we were still at Genting and this thing happen, Only God knows what is going to happen. We were delayed for 3 hours just to get the tires repaired, and as we were stuck in the middle of the turning out from a highway, the girls had to create their own toilet while the guys just have to simply head near the trees and settle their problem.

We finally managed to reach Singapore customs at close to 1AM in the morning. And if you think this is the end, you're wrong. We were held back as my uncle left a bag that contains chewing gum, and as it was not alot, i felt that we shouldn't have made this mistake. I felt very guilty over this as it was a very very very SMALL issue. Well, its over and another lesson learnt and experience gained from this 5 day trip with my family.

Family bonds are there for a reason, quarrels are surely to come, but solving them in a positive attitude will only strengthen the bond. I LOVE MY FAMILY!!!!

- THE END -
