Today was the day we visit Genting, or what Chinese people call 'wun dang' (foggy mountain top). Before the road trip, we had yumcha at a nearby restaurant. Most of the dishes had prawn in them since it's one of my favourites. Unfortunately, I couldn't finish it all because there were too many dishes, and my stomach still felt a bit sick.
After breakfast, uncle, aunt, cousin San San and I went to Genting. Cousin Mun Fei and Mun Loong couldn't come because they both had work. Cousin Mun Hong called while we were on the way there. I tried to persuade him, but nothing worked. Not even when I said I wouldn't talk to him anymore. But that's okay, I understand that he had work to do. I feel quite bad for him because he works very hard for very odd hours. He's a baker who specializes in making bread, so his job's quite laborious. And he's so skinny >.< !!! He's practically just skin and bones =( he needs to eat more >=( !!! OH OH OH! His girlfriend is also a baker who specializes in baking cakes. Apparently, she's his junior =). I wish them both lots and lots of happiness =D. Speaking of girlfriend, she works at a restaurant in Genting! That Mun Hong, even if his girlfriend is in Genting, he STILL wouldn't go with us >=( lol I guess he really couldn't get away from work.
They sure didn't name it wrong when they called it 'wun dang;' it was really foggy. But luckily, it wasn't foggy enough to stop the rides. They say that if it gets too foggy, they wouldn't open the theme park because it'd be dangerous. My aunt said that, at times, it can get so foggy that you could barely see pass your hands =S. We had some hot tea to warm up first; it was kind of cold. They tried to snuggle my into the casino, but it didn't work. Unlike Australia, the minimum age required to enter was 21; I'm only 19. It was kind of difficult for me to look older because 1. I was wearing kid-like clothings and 2. I have a young looking face. But rather than accepting failure, we decided to try again, and this time it worked ! We deducted that because they were in the middle of changing shifts, it was easier for us to get in. I started laughing, but cousin San San told me to not laugh and not look back, just keep walking forward =P. Inside, we played the pokie machines. To be honest, I still don't find pressing buttons and waiting for a jackpot that addictive. Now that's a good thing, or else I would've gone broke. Then again, it was my aunt's money I was using LOL ^_^'. Aunt liked playing pokie machines, so she bet quite a lot. It didn't matter because she won it all back anyways =).

Made from recycled bottles =D how resourceful is that?!
While uncle aunt were gambling in the casino, cousin San San and I went to the theme park. We bought a ticket for both indoor and outdoor parks. Most of the time, we were outside. The rides were pretty fun, it was just that we had to wait a while to play them since it was so busy. There was a 'Flying Coaster' ride that I forced my cousin to ride with me =). It was kind of scary, but I was laughing more than I was screaming. I was laughing because it was funny hearing my cousin scream, not daring to open her eyes for the entire ride xD. I got K.O'd at the 'Pirate Ship' ride. I didn't mind tossing and turning rides, fast rides, up and down rides, but back and forth rides make me dizzy =S. Thankfully, it wasn't even 36O degrees, or else I would've vomited on the ride =S. Now that wouldn't have been a pretty sight to see.
We walked around, took photos and looked at animals. They were show casing a yellow and white snake and a lizard (I'd provide the names if I knew them). While I ran towards them, my cousin ran the other way. She's afraid of reptiles and big dogs. Just like aunt and my mum, but my mum's not afraid of big dogs though. I had the urge to run over to her when I held the snake and lizard, but I didn't. It would've been to slack =P. A fascinating merchandise I found was wax hands, as in your own hands being the foundation for the wax. Seeing that Australia didn't have any, I decided to make one myself and bring it back here =). I just hope they'll let me pass the security check with it =S They might think I actually chopped someone's hand off and placed it into my luggage, or think that I shoved drugged into it =/. If that does happen, I'm gonna make them pay for not only the hand, but the plane ticket to go back to Malaysia, to make another wax hand, and then come back >=) .

| This was only half, I couldn't take it all in one shot, so I just took the picture of the scarier looking side =). |

| This was my K.O. *sigh*. |
Since we were getting tired, we decided to go play on the inside instead. After watching a 3D movie, we met up with aunt and uncle to eat dinner. We had lunch at this very fancy looking restaurant called 'The Olive.' The interior design was quite classy, quite elegant. I felt I was inappropriately dressed =S. We had an a full course meal: appetizer, entree, soup, main course and dessert; they all tasted quite delicious. The soup was a tad bit salty for my taste, but it wasn't bad. The entree was some kind of duck dish. There was this particular meat that was very soft, very tender; it practically melted in your mouth. It was nothing like any other meat I've tasted. I asked what it was and they told me it was duck liver. I almost wanted to vomit. Not because it tasted bad, but just the thought of eating something that wasn't meat, muscle or skin just turned me off. But I continued eating anyways because it was rude not to finish what was on my plate. I guess my stomach wasn't really with me because I couldn't finish my tender Angus beef (I think it was =S). My uncle ate the rest of my meat. To be honest, I vomited a couple of times today. I guess my flu was really getting to me =/. Aunt paid with her credit points from her Genting card.
