It looks like you woke yourself up early in the morning in the heaven! If you happen to be staying overnight at Chin Swee Temple's Hotel, try wake yourself up in the early morning like this for this scenery.

The day began with our visit around the Chin Swee Temple on the rooftop. The breeze of the wind was really strong and yet it is cold on the rooftop. We went up to Genting after praying in the temple with cable car again.

After spending hours of joy in the theme parks, we headed to the main entrance of the outdoor theme park to where the celebrities were coming for Awards Winning Event. Fortunately, we were able to meet the last celebrity walking on the red carpet, Eason Chan. As soon as he walked in, we continued our indoor theme park.

That was the end of the day 2 in our Genting Highlands Trip and returned to our hotel by bus again. We were not able to sleep early that night so all of us went to the rooftop of the Chin Swee Temple at 12 something in the morning. The fog was a W.O.W, they were kinda thick and yet very very cold for me coz I'm wearing just a single and think layer of shirt without jacket, I shivered at that moment. We hung out for half an hour on the rooftop and then went back to our rooms for a deep refresh - Sleep.

GENTING HIGHLANDS (DAY 1)

In the January, my friends and I had our trip to Genting Highlands. A very warm appreciation to Wei Sean who made the trip a success. Together with Wei Sean, Andy, Dennis, Phei Qin, Ying Ting, Alicia & Shi ling, we had our safe arrival to Genting Highlands after hours of ride on the highway. After checking in into Chin Swee Temple's Hotel allocated just a few feet below the entertainment city, we took the cable car towards Genting Highlands after a short rest in the hotel.

As soon as we arrived at the Genting Hotel, we walked our way to the First World Hotel to where the indoor theme park is. We visited the "Ripley's Believe it or not" muzeum. That was my second visit after a long long period of time since my last visit into it which was 5 years ago.

While waiting for some of our friends that were left behind in the muzeum, these mirrors catches our attention. You may be appeared to be "taller", "shorter" or even "wider" when you stand in front of the mirrors.

Another interesting stuff was the slanted internal designed room with a snooker table in it.

We headed for our dinner in the First World Hotel and started shopping before we went for rounds of bowling after we enjoyed our proper dinner.

The bowling center is worth to spend your night time visit in Genting other than gambling in the casinos.

We headed back to our hotel in the Chin Swee Temple by bus. We were lucky to be able to catch the last bus after the cable was closed at a specific time in the evening. That was our first day in our trip to Genting Highlands.
