Genting Highland Trip

Last saturday morning, Nico and I had to wake up early because we had actually planned a one-day trip to Genting Highland. From Cyberjaya to Genting Highland was actually quite far so we get up on 6:30am in order to reach the peak before 12PM.

7:15AM - We boarded on the local bus, Rapid KL (T429) from Cyberjaya to Putrajaya Sentral.

7:30AM - Reach Putrajaya Sentral and waited for few minutes before we could board on the bus which goes to KL City which is (E1).

8:10AM - We reached KL Sentral and as we're hungry, we went for McD for breakfast. Well as usual I would just take the Big Breakfast.

9:00AM - We thought that, ok it's time to get the tickets for bus to the hill, however when we reach the sales counter, it was already a long queue there. Sigh.. I should knew it earlier that surely many people would go up to Genting Highland during weekend. So to avoid the crowd, we decided to go Gombak and see if we managed to get an early ticket through Kelana Jaya line LRT.

9:45AM - We reached Gombak (Terminal Putra LRT Station) which is another place that has the shuttle bus service to Genting Highland skyway. To our surprise, there is a queue too. I am the 20++ people behind the queue. That's not too bad compared to KL Sentral.

10:45AM - We finally managed to buy the tickets. Yea.. the queue moved extremely slow. RM30.10 for two person's through and flow tickets which inclusive of Skyway. Expensive? I have no idea on that.

11:20AM - We boarded the shuttle bus to Genting and we reached Genting Skyway station at almost 12PM. I think should be around 30++ minutes, we reached the peak. I am not sure how long it actually takes, as I didn't really see the time.

We took almost half day to reach the peak from Cyberjaya. (TnT)

The food in Genting Highland was really expensive. A typical dumpling noodle or wanton noodle priced at RM12, and it only consist of 3 dumpling/wanton per serving. Luckily our food was sponsored by Annie. Hahaha... :P After the lunch, Annie went back to work, so Nico and I was walking around Genting Highland to take pictures. As Christmas Day was just passed, we managed to see some of the decorations which they had not removed. Nothing special but some of it was cute.

I love the feeling of covered by the clouds.


This path gives you good foot reflexology. Anyone love to try?


Christmas?

As I mentioned earlier, we actually planned for 1 day trip however when we roam around, there was a guy gave us tickets for F.I.R. Showcase @ Arena of Stars, 8PM. Hohoho.. since is free so we decided to take a look, and because of this we can't go back to Cyberjaya on the same day.


F.I.R. showcase tickets :).

Luckily we managed to sold our return tickets away for RM16 and Nico's brother Yugene was there for company vacation, so we managed to overnight in his room. :D

We return back to KL on Sunday morning by taking Genting bus. We bought the ticket from First World Hotel bus station for RM5+ only. It was the direct shuttle from Genting Highland bus station to Titiwangsa LRT station. Well this is cheap, but the bus condition was worst than Rapid KL. LOL...

That's all for my story on Genting Trip.
