3 days 2 night passed by like a breeze. i thank God for the weather and how much He has blessed the cg during this trip. throughout our stay at genting, it rained non stop except for the time when we were out at the amusement park. it only rained when all of us were super tired already.
most of us stayed over at someone's house on d day minus 1. i was at mugen's at around 10pm. we wanted to play cards but we were too tired to do anything so we just watched some mtvs on youtube before turning in at around 12am.
gave all the grps morning call. apparently, everyone was awake rather early but not all were on time. we got on the bus at 7am and left for genting. jerrick slept throughout the whole 7 hrs except for the custom thingy. after derric slapped him on the chest, someone threw a jacket at him, slammed a pillow on his face, he remained motionless.
the whole bus ride, we played bridge, pig, psp, dai di, talk nonsense, sleep, eat, watch movie and before u knew it, we were at the foot of the mountain (entrance of genting). the bus driver had to do alot of sharp turns which my cg calls it drifting. we were quite impressed with the way he made all the turnings and made alot of noise until we reached our destination. the temperature dropped alot but due to the fact that we were in the bus, we didn't feel it until we alighted.
checking in took up 1.5 hrs. we had to wait for 1 hr before it was our turn to get the keys, thus we went for lunch at kenny rogers. the lady took quite awhile before she got all of our orders but the food came pretty fast. the chicken is bigger but the portion for the sides were smaller.
i went to get the keys with mugen while the rest stayed there. managed to get 2 connected rooms and one single. single room was in between the 2 connected rooms. the girls were well protected but dun think they felt peaceful.
it took us half an hour to get to our rooms and here's y. firstly, we took the lift at tower 1 and realised that we couldn't go to 6th floor. thus, we pressed lvl 8 and took the stairs down to lvl 6. lvl 6 door was locked, so we walked all the way down to level 1. on the way down, there were alot of dead moths which were really BIG. after lvl3, it was lvl 2b, 2a followed by 2. when we reached one, there was this flood which none of us wanted to get our shoes wet, thus we decided to get back to where we were, which was lvl 4 or 5, where the door wasn't locked. from there, we walked eastwards to another lift which happens to be the service lift. when down all the way, and up again cuz the doors were again locked. then at lvl 3, we saw this group of workers and decided to ask them for directions. they us out of where we were and we were finally on the right track. one of the cg members were getting desperate cuz he needed to crap and thus, we were really glad to be in our rooms.
after we unloaded our stuff, all gathered in my room and we went shopping. with such a big group, it was tough. we went out of the shopping center, felt the cool breeze and abit of drizzle, decided to stay there longer cuz the feeling was quite shiok, to be among the clouds. dan didn't bring his jacket thus he went up first and after awhile, we decided to have free time until 7.30pm before we meet for dinner.
i forgot where we went for dinner but it was nothing good and super expensive. in fact, one bowl of wanton mee cost 6 sing and duck rice around 8 sing. the food is served moderately warm or cold and the portion is pathetic. oh ya, we had dinner at some food court which sells things at average 12 riggit.
at 10, we had a short worship then we started discussing our cg goals for 2008. spent most of the time thrashing on issues that is crucial to the growth of the cg. took us quite awhile to really sort things out. really thank god for showing us the solution and yes, all we have to do is to try and be willing to make a difference.
ended quite late, we had to sleep early cuz the next day gonna be long and all had to wake up at 7 to be on time for morning devotions. after everyone went back to their rooms, i could hear marcus and tsura having their mini gheyboxing singing some chinese songs really loudly. when i went over, marcus was dancing in front of the tv. quite funny la but i kind of used to it alr.
next day morning, devotion was abit disorganised cuz i suddenly lost my thoughts eventhough i got most of the things down. had to pray while sharing both at the same time cuz i felt God challenging the cg in another area that i had prepared. we ended of with prayer in which dan lum prayed for courage to get on the rides and the rest of us prayed for weather. so ya, after devotions, we had breakfast at macs then we moved on to the amusement park.
the rides were quite fun but the queue was horrendous. we took videos on the most extreme ride which is the free fall thingy. it goes really very high up, stop for 12secs before u dropped down for 5 secs then go up, 4s, 3 s etc. at first i thought i could really tank it like a man. so i left my hands and legs up in the air. when the thing dropped down, i became half a man and grabbed the bars holding me down rather tightly and screamed (in a manly voice.. duh!). the fear lasted for like 2 secs only. then it became quite shiok.
the second ride that was even scarier than the free fall was tea cup. it might seem rather harmless, wait till u ride with dan chia. he spin the cup at almost 1.5 rev/s. i felt as tho i was gonna get thrown out of the cup. uncontrollably, my body slided down and when dan told me that can almost elbow my face, i wanted to move but couldn't cuz of the high speed and giddiness. i was really glad that the ride was finally over and yes, thank god that i'm alive. i couldn't move for a few seconds cuz the world was spinning in all directions.
we headed back to the hotel at 6 plus i think, some of them went to play archery and some shopping. anyway, i felt nauseous so i had to go back to bathe and rest abit. had our dinner at pizza hut, after waiting for like half an hour. by now u must have realised that most of our meals were settled in fastfood. its weird cuz we realised that fast food is cheaper than normal food.
did abit of shopping at FOS and wanted to queue up for indoor rides but once again, the queue was rather appalling and totally turned us off. thus, we decided to head back to our rooms to rest since we were out at 8am and by then it was already 10pm and everyone's tired. most of the guys gathered at marcus's room to watch disturbia on his ipod, plucked to the tv. then, we played cards at the corridor till 12am before going to my room to play cards again till 1am before loke chased them off cuz he needed to sleep.
oh ya, there was this cute conversation at the bumper boat rides, involving marcus huang and the operator who controls the ride. there was this weight limit capped at 75kg and marcus looked slightly more than 75kg.
operator: what's ur weight?
cg member: he's 73kg
operator: 75kg cannot take the ride
cg member: he's 73kg le
operator: ya, 75kg cannot take the ride
cg member: 73kg is lesser than 75kg
operator: orh okie.
while waiting to go for this ride, as requested by edmund, when the queue was like one ride away, it started drizzling so the operator sort of closed the ride, thus we went off to another ride. when we saw that the ride was operational again, we came back and when we were like one ride away again, it started pouring. since both times we waited for like 1 hr in total, we were so bored that i think derric came up with this apple juice thingy, that is to flick the adam's apple and joel went on with the herpes attack with jerrick. marcus was singing the enchanted songs and loke was trying to find a guild to join.
day 3 morning, we woke up abit later for devotions. had a short sharing of how the year's been for us and cuz of our big group, it took quite awhile for us to finish but i felt that it was good to close our retreat with this.
we split up for breakfast and i got slaughtered quite abit. ordered fried rice with one fish and one egg and it cost my frigging 16 riggit. marcus was worse, he ordered fried rice chicken and sotong and paid 23 riggit for it.
we did some shopping again, suppose to take the bus at 1.45 but it dragged to 4pm. we played cards awhile, go to terminal, went shopping again, go back to terminal and played cards at the terminal until our bus arrived. most of us slept during the first 2 hrs. when it was around 8pm, all of us stuck our faces on the glass window trying to spot stars. it was quite a pretty sight. so err, i guess that was it. sigh, i'm really sleepy now and i still got alot of christmas cards to write. goodnight!! merry christmas to all :)
