Diet no longer working temporarily

Nah, no white Christmas this year.
Unless Mother Earth decides to give us all a surprise next year, we shall have snow alright?
This year, like EVERY other year, I spend my day in Genting Highlands.

It was a painful and tiring journey from Ipoh to Genting.
Both mum and dad went up a day earlier to catch some concert. Aah!Yes, they are wayy happening than their own daughter..
Bro and I, took the bus to Genting the next day itself. I bumped into Yap Yen Yee,together with her friend,and we took the same bus there.

So, why was the journey tiring?
First, I had to wake up as early as 7 am, to make sure everything's ready and done. I had to wake my pig brother up by 7.30 am, get my shower, and by the time we settled down, I had to call the cab, and go to the bus station. At the very last minute, my brother told me that his newly bought iPod shuffle couldn't listen to songs, so I had to quickly switched on the computer, download iTunes for him, and stuff the songs in for him. It was a matter of seconds when we switched off the computer and the taxi arrived.


We boarded the bus, and I quickly stuffed in my newly received iPod nano. I tried to get some sleep, but my player was playing some random songs which was blasting so loudly that it gave me a headache; a massive one. And I was so close to tears. I took out my headphones, but the pain didn't go away. I slept the pain away.

We arrived in the skyway station at 12 pm, the driver was efficient!.
Due to the long queue, 4 of us, which includes YenYee and her friend, took the taxi instead. Only RM40 and we avoided the traffic, hassle and we saved time. So, my brother and I reached Genting Resort Hotel, and we found Mum and Dad, standing there, waiting for us. Owh, before that, they kept calling to check on us, whereas I kept reminding them that we are no longer small little kids. Heck! After the new year, I am going to be 20. We checked into our hotel room, and were disappointed to find that the room only has One bed. One bed for 4 of us, and both dad and I are not exactly slim ok? The usual room we stayed in Genting was not available as it was the peak season, and we failed to get the usual room. Dad did online booking and booked the wrong room. Dang!

Anyway, that didn't occur to us as a problem, at least not till the night. So, we dropped off our luggages, and went for lunch instead. Dad brought us to the Emperor Restauant, just outside he casino and we had our lunch there. Both bro and I were terribly hungry, so we kept ordering dimsum and dishes. Dad kept signalling that we are not in FohSan, Ipoh, and the prices in Genting were trippled or doubled. Yes, things are ridiculously priced in Genting!

After lunch, Dad and Mum went into the casino whereas the two of us, went walking around to First World Plaza. Took us 1/2 hour to finished exploring, we found nothing new. I opted to walk all the way back to the hotel room, and bro went for gaming. I spend my time, updating my stuffs, and eventually falling into a deep sleep, until, someone rang the doorbell so many fucking times. And when I woke up to open it, I saw the housekeepin lady, inside my room, handing me a fruit cake, compliments of Genting Highlands Resort. I mumbled "thank you" and for a second, I held the fruit cake in my hands. The next second, I put down the cake, and I was like "WTF!". What if we weren't around, and we left things which are valuable in the room. The housekeeping people can come in whenever they want to!. I turned on my laptop, disappointed again to find no WiFi service available in the room, and then decided to watch an episode of "Heroes" when Bro came "ding dong-ding dong".

At the end of the day, the 4 of us, went for an International Buffet in Coffee Terrance Cafe.
International Buffet was nowhere near "International" if they only serve 'LOCAL FAVOURITES','NYONYA','WESTERN','CHINESE','INDIAN','JAPANESE' food. International means something other than these food which I always come across in buffet, anytime of the year! It was a total different Christmas dinner this year as it was the first time I didn't eat anything "Chrismassy" like turkey, or christmas pudding, or something like that. Instead, I enjoyed the satay they served. Dad quietly brought in a bottle of wine, and the 4 of us, enjoyed ourselves, like every other dinner we sat together.

















After dinner, we walked around Genting, and Dad talked to us (again!) about the philosophy of life. If Chongkz said that Meiling is Confuscious, wait till she meets my dad! Dad was talking about something serious, siap with actions and a lot of facial expression, I suddenly made a remark: "Why you so dramatic one?"

He looked at me, didn't know how and what to react. And then, he chuckled.
and I was like "Huh?"

Alright, I guess I got the dramatic genes from him.

So, we spend Christmas eve together as a family. We did countdown-ing in our rooms, because I didnt want to go out and join the crowd. It must have been pathetic on my side, as everyone is either in a group or in pairs. Come to think of it, have you seen anyone, in some new year's eve party alone?
Aha!. That's my point.
So, Dad bungkus-ed Ciabatta sandwich for all of us, and we opened up another bottle of wine, and yes, we all dropped on our beds till the next morning. Dad, mum and I, shared the queen size bed, while Bro has to sleep on the floor. Muahahaha..Okay, we did the "Paper, scissors, and stone" thing and I won ok? Fair and square.

We left about noon the next day, only to realize that bro doesn't want to go KL. Damn stupid la him. Wanna go home instead. All my shopping wish, poof-ed! Gone!
I didn't manage to catch up with Yoke Yee who was also spending her holidays there. Hahha, damn no jodoh one ler!

So, i shall end this entry with a little cam-whoring pics of mine..Hahha..yes mar, have to end it with a happier note ge ma..!





It was rather lonely this Christmas, and to know that the person you love is spending his/her Christmas night with someone special instead of you, it kinda hurts. Looking at the bright side, the new year is heading this way, hopefully an ending to all and a new beginning?
Let's pray together alright?
