up on the mountains

Ok. I decided to change the design of my blog again. I needed something in between of home, travel, and  antique. Besides, small font for my posts. I like small fonts. So that lesser people will bother to read it. Haha.

On last Friday, i went to Genting together with my family and grandma. For 3 days and 2 nights, i was there. I didn't really go around the place except to stay in the hotel. The hotel itself was already enough to keep me inside. Uncle blessed us by booking an Oriental Suite in the Highlands Hotel. This hotel is only available for VIP and even in order to use the lift to reach the hotel, residents need the hotel card to move it! It was awesome! At first, he didn't tell us until we went into the room and got shocked over it. Altogether, it was a really pleasant surprise. The hotel consists of 2 storeys. It has a great view of the mountains, the sky and the land around them. I swear i can even see the sea from where i was! Inside, we have 2 large bedrooms with antique designs, sophisticated bathrooms with jacuzzis in it. I bathed in the bathroom while looking over the mountains. Such bliss! There are kitchen, a living room, and also a dining area. I thought i will be uncivilized for 3 days without internet, but lo and behold, they even provide a computer with internet connection. Not only that, i can watch World Cup from the flat screen tv on the comfy cushion. Never could have been better. :) 
I thought i would've to spend time sitting in a cafe in First World while all my family members are in casino. At that time, i was truly longing and praying that i would've the chance to behold the beauty of the mountains, the sky, the serenity and the rest of the scenery in that 3 days.  Didn't think that it would be fulfilled. It's pretty rare for a Malaysian city girl to have such opportunity, unlike those living in New Zealand, Australia etc. Thus, i'm satisfied. Almost wasn't able to leave the hotel on the last day. How i wish i can do that everyday. I know i can do this next time everyday. For eternity. Beholding Someone even more beautiful than all of these. Then, that would be eternal rest for me. Ahh, this is one of the things that keep me going here.

Apart from all of these, uncle further blessed us with a scrumptious dinner and then gave us tickets to this concert by Richie Jen. I didn't know who was that at first. I thought he was some old singer who is around his 50's. But again a pleasant surprise, i know him. The Momo cha guy. Haha. Enjoyed the concert pretty much. It was almost fully filled! Anyway, later on that night, was able to catch the football match between Spain and Paraguay at 2.30am in the Genting International Showroom! It was splendid. There were 3 screens and the place was quite hyped up with football fans. I could just feel the excitement brewing in the air. :)) The match was pretty interesting. I love to see the passings made by those Spain players and also the teamwork! Of course, the Paraguay's goalkeeper was pretty awesome! I like his action. Haha. So gonna miss this World Cup once it's over. I hope it won't be too soon! Oh, i'm supporting Spain! Lovely name. Hehe.

By the way, for the first time in my life, i entered the casino, by acting as my brother's gf! My previous history of trying to break in to casino when i was in Form 2 kind of made me feel inconfident of going in this time. Well, i guess i've truly grown older. Hehe. Just to have some sightseeing. The place was pretty huge. First impression, Las Vegas with those glittering, get fast money, dreamy feeling. I realised that everyone's expression in the casino was mostly grumpy, serious and sad. Pretty much like machines. Even those card dealers. >.<. The place was very much filled with smokes. I don't know how the card dealers survived inside. Anyway, the best thing inside was that i was able to drink for free. Hehe. Went out after about one hour for fresh air.

All in all, enjoyed myself. And now i'm back to the place where the battle is resumed. :) Adios~

p/s: So anticipating for the world cup semi-finals!
