Bloggers Day Out | Single to Mingle at Patio Bar and Lounge, Genting Highlands

Posted by RedButtockz Wern at 12:24 AM 0 comments
Soon after the visit to the Ripley's Believe It Or Not, we had some free time to explore the First World Plaza. So, all of us decided to watch "Pirate Story 4D" show which cost RM8 per pax.

The show last about 15 minutes only and all of us felt slightly dizzy after the show. Maybe it was the movements from the chair + lack of oxygen in the theatre hall.


Before the Single to Mingle event, we planned to try the Genting Sky Venture but unfortunately it was fully booked.

And for those who love bowling, there is also Genting Bowl @ The First World Plaza.

You can try playing their glow in the dark bowling during these hours;

Our next destination would be the Snow World but due to time constrain, we did not manage to experience it as well.

Location
Level T2A, First World Plaza
~~~~~~~~

So the finale of this Bloggers Day Out is the Single to Mingle @ The Patio Bar & Lounge. The bridge to the Patio Bar & Lounge was decorated with lovely heart-shaped balloons.

The decorations of the table that night =D

My love to you~ xD

Dinner served at The Patio before the start of the event.

And of course the participants of the Single to Mingle. This event consists of nine pairs where they have to complete certain tasks to win.

Before the winners are announced, the couples are asked to play a game where the girl has to throw a thing and the guy has to catch it with his pants.
Some of the bloggers participated as well. Some did not hesitate to throw the durian to get more points but the organizer stopped them from doing so to prevent unwanted "injuries".

And finally the results are out. Congratulations to those who had won =)

(I wasn't in the photo T_T)

We then managed to have a peek at the Wine & Whisky Bar at The Patio. It was very grand and classy which looked like a meeting place for yakuza important people. The reason it looked so grand and classy - its the place where they store all the exquisite liquor which all are very very very expensive. So expensive that I am afraid to go near it in case I broke any one of them =(


The very comfortable sofa there. After a long day in Genting, all of us were so tired that we wanted to sleep on it.

Right after our lunch, we went to the Haunted Adventure where I closed my eyes most of the time to experience some terrfying moments with some "ghost"
You may also wear a 3D glasses if you want to see a 3D ghosty haha!

One of the scary-looking Haunted Adventure staff.

~~~~~~~~

Next, after our Haunted Adventure we head to the Ripley's Believe It Or Not! museum.
Here, you can see many astounding collections of oddities by Ripley.

One of the attraction of that month is the Fertility Statue. It is rumored that if someone touches these statues they will be more fertile as what the statue name says.

And this is TianChad who is unable to resist the temptation to touch those statues *tsk tsk*

This is the scary looking prison that were used in the olden days. There is just enough space for a person to be in it and imagine you have to spend the rest of your days there *claustrophobic*

The "World Luckiest Chair" which is rumored to give you lots of good luck. Praying hard here for uh... something ;)

And this, some of you might seen this before in TV, the genuine shrunken head. Wondering how a human's head can be shrunken to this size? Visit this museum to know more ;)

A mirror that will show distorted image of you. My eyes became bigger with it *blinks*

This is the world tallest guy. I am only half his height.

Oh yea! this amazing Frozen Shadow room. There is a board in the room where your shadow will stay for a few seconds after the flash. Its kinda nice to play where you can create a board full of creative looking shadows.
Our shadows - looks like a wall graffiti. Too bad the photo turned out to be blur.

Near towards the end of the museum, there is this place where will make you feel really dizzy after walking right through it. Wanna know why? Go experience it yourself. It is really worth the fun. =D

There is a combo package to visit the Haunted Adventure + Ripley's:
Adults RM 30
Child (3-12 years) RM 24
Opening hours: 10am to 10pm

This is the Genting's Galleria where we were told about the history of Genting and were given tags that had our names on it *cool*


The miniature model of Genting Highlands.

Right after the briefing, we were brought to Pedas Springs Spa where we will be given a foot and shoulder massage :D

We were given a tour around the place and it really really felt relaxing and I wanted to spend my entire day there but too bad we have other places to go to next T___T

Inside, they have a Signature Floating Spa Villa which was located outdoor where you can see Genting Themepark and the Lake.

There is also a private room for couples to enjoy their relaxing spa.

Right before our massage, me and Nicole were given a shorts to change. And this is how it looked like HAHAHA!

Nice or not? xD

This is me enjoying my massage! =D

Oh yea, they also have internet services provided in Pedas Springs Spa too.

[Travel] Hatyai Part 2

Posted by RedButtockz Wern at 8:57 PM 2 comments
I'm back with the continuation of my Hatyai trip. The very next day, me and some of my friends went for a day trip to several places around Trang, Thailand.
Our first stop was the Le Khaokob Cave. I was told that in order to pass through the cave, we must lie down flat in the boat. And I thought at first, hey its quite fun. Just a little bit different from the usual boat rides.


The beginning of our boat ride. Quite relaxing... until we reached the cave's mouth. We just have to lie down for a little while.

View of inside the cave.


The stalactites

You can see the water dripping forming stalactites. They are still "growing"

The real excitement of the this cave is actually at the end. After several stops inside the cave, we reached a place where the tour guide ask us to lie down flat on the boat. We were curious on what's awaiting us ahead as they ask us to keep any bulky stuff and store our cameras in a safe place. So the bad part here is that I can't share any photos when reaching to the end of the cave.

So after making sure everyone had lie down as flat as a pancake, we started entering a dark hole with water dripping on our faces. This was where we all started screaming like crazy because the walls and the stalactites was really low that it was barely a few inches away from our faces. And I feel that the tour guide there wasn't considerate enough. They row the boat real fast even though there are some places where we nearly hurt ourselves.

All of us were rather small sized and I wonder how some big sized elephants people pass through this part.

~~~~~~~~

Another cave temple we visited. Most of the temples we visited were in a cave. It wasn't like those temples in Ipoh. Theirs was located deep inside the cave where we had to move between tiny spaces to reach there.

I guess that's why they have fans inside the cave to ventilate the area.

~~~~~~~~

After much screaming and doing acrobatic moves in these caves, we finally had our lunch at a hill near Trang. I didn't manage to get the name of this place =(




Wooden tables and chairs


Food we had there. Not bad and the price is quite reasonable too.

~~~~~~~~

During the night, we had to attend a "Gala Nite"
Their glass bottled soft drinks.

But I've decided to drink Air Gajah water instead.


Performances that night. Sorry for the blur photos. I have to keep their privacy been using mobile phone to take most of the photos during this travel.

There are also fat...

and ugly ones =x

~~~~~~~~

So that's all for my Hatyai trip. Saw this bus full of Hello Kitty on my way back...and the bus driver is a guy ^^
