genting the third

so far, i've had 3 ways to enjoy genting. the first time i went, it was purely for a concert. the second time, with a bunch of mature people who's not up for the theme park. and this time round, for the third, we go all out crazy.

Out-of-the-ordinary Act 1:

eat the banana-peeling ice-cream.

first thing first, it wasn't even in banana flavour. i didn't realise that until V pointed it out to me. you see the yellow 'banana' peel? it's pineapple flavoured jelly. the white part is just vanilla ice cream.

obviously you can get it at a much cheaper price at pj or anywhere else. but honestly i wouldn't have bought it on any given average day.



Out-of-the-ordinary Act 2:

i have no photo for this but i think it deserves a mention. that stupid roller coaster ride - corkscrew.

the story is, we bought express tickets for the outdoor theme park and were determined to squeeze every cent's worth out of it. and squeezed we did. we jumped the queue for the teapot ride (i forbade any teacup turning, hence, we were the most lifeless teacup among the lot), the pirate train ride (too chicken to take it in the end), ferris wheel (amusingly named after the sun, the matahari),the spninner (the ride with the swing seats and you get swung around in circles. highly DANGEROUS).

and then we arrived at the CORKSCREW, with lotsa 360 turns and plummets.  needless to say, i am so humji that the camera shot me looking straight down at my legs (throughout the ride) while everyone else was looking up into the sky. pft, i'd rather take the caterpillar ride any day (which we did and slept the whole way through).


Out-of-the-ordinary Act 3:

Skydiving. or rather, mock skydiving. rm38 for 2 minutes worth of skydiving experience.

fun, but once is enough. note: you will need to live with skydiving goggles mark  for the next hour or so.


Out-of-the-ordinary Act 4:

shoot arrows like crazy. well, that's because G was hooked on archery. but that's besides the point. omg my leg is damn awesome here can.

the point is, we shot a total of close to 100 arrows per person, for 2 days consecutively, with malay music continuously blasting in the background. the result: irritated archers with aching arms the next day.




Out-of-the-ordinary Act 5:

busting our wallets on theme parks and funfair games. no need for further explanation.


and V won this on the first throw when we were at the coin throw game. talk about lady luck on our side. but subsequently we spent over 20 dollars on more of these funfair games before concluding that lady luck has left the building.


there you have it, ladies and gentlemen. 3 notably different ways of enjoying genting, for the 3 extremes.
