Remembering your childhood

What do you see from that picture?? Is it look familiar?? Well for me it is. When the drawing time while I was a kid, I always draw 2 mountains, 1 road to the mountains, and a house and also trees.

Well, why suddenly I posted this topic?? Since two days ago, I had a verry cheerfull conversation with G Xiaojie.

We were talking about our childhood. At first I was thinking that my childhood life is not good, if its compared to the other kids.
Well, don't want to talk much about my past life, but, just want you to know that, I really enjoy my past life. Though not many toys to play with. Only one robot toys that I had in my childhood. The robot was from my own saving.

Its always been a habits that my parents taught me that is to buy something that you like by yourself. So to get that cool robots (for that time the robot is really cool, its displayed a movie in its stomach, can shoot 6 missile from its head :D Is it cool or what?)

Yup, I think some of you were thinking, "what you must buy your own toys?", and some others would thinking, "I also bought my own toys." For you that had many toys, you must thankful for it, since some of us just cann't afford to buy one. For those of you that had similar experience with me please also be thankful, since you still able to have toys.

Well, forget about the buying process. The main purpose is to remembering your childhood. Try to look 4-5 things that really fun when you're still a kid.

I did like playing hide and seek with my primary school friends, where at that time we not even thinking about how we'll gonna live our future, just play and focus to find our friends and catch them after that.

I also remember about the rubber saint saiya heroes that I used to have for about 10 or more characters. It was fun to play with, and really cheap toys to bought at that time. It only caused me for about Rp 50,- and Rp 100,- for one single character.

What make me want to put this topic to the top. I just want us to remember our childhood life abit, so we can be thankful for what we had. Even if my childhood life is not as beautiful as yours, but I'm really happy for having one. Still had plenty of time for laughing, crying, playing, and to mix your emotion.

You know what, after remembering my childhood, I'm begginning to feel that I'm so happy, and can relax abit, also can forget about the rough life ahead for awhile. :)

It's a recommended action to do for refreshing awhile. Have a pleasant remembering your childhood ^___^

Genting, Johor Baru, and Kuala Lumpur 12-13 May 2006

On this long weekend, me and several of my friends visit three town in Malaysia, Johor Baru, Genting, and Kuala Lumpur.

We move from Bugis MRT at 7:30AM, waiting for the "Israel prime minister" Mr. Isak R. to arrive.

After that we take CW bus to Larkin, Johor Baru Terminal. Before that we stop at the check point to exit Singapore and take the bus again and stop at Malaysia Check point to stamp our passport.

After that, we're not directly continue our journey to Larkin terminal, but settle down for a while to eat and look for direct package to KL or Genting, which there is no more :p weeew. Finally we went to Larkin and take executive consortium bus to KL. The journey length is 4 hour, and it was a good time to sleep. we stop a while somewhere between Johor and Kuala Lumpur to have our lunch, and continue our journey to KL. Arrived at 4:30 PM, we're already exhausted, and the rain was pour down verry high at that time. So we must continue our journey with train first to Pudu Raya, and get our bus ticket to Genting.

Well some of us were hungry, so again we went for eating, this time is KFC as the target place. After that continue our journey to Genting. Arrived at 7:00PM with such a maze view. Genting is a high place like puncak in Indonesia. We can take 2 way to up from Genting terminal to Genting Entertainment Center. The first one is by bus, and the second one is by cable car.

Since our bus ticket is already included with the cable car fee, we must take the cable car to Genting Entertainment Center. Weeew... the cable car is quite scarry. It sure is not like Cable car in Ancol beach or in Taman Mini Indonesia Indah:p The cable car is crossing between the terminal to Genting Entertainment Center. In the middle is a 100 Million year jungle, and still the cable car must go up to Genting Entertainment Center. The journey on cable car is approx 10 minutes, with 3.8 KM distance. As you can see from the picture the height is really something, and for height phobia person, it sure is a scarry moment, since we're only guarded by a single cable :p

At Genting, I was shocked once again to see the place, it was a beautiful place with full of entertainment. Game center, Karaoke, Pub, Salon, Theme Park, Hotel, Casino, Bowling, Billiard, Restaurant, and many other more in the same place, in the same building.

We stayed at First World Hotel, and once again I've been amazed by the room number. It was the most many room hotel in the world. My room was 22730, you see, the room number is from the third digit, the 2 first digit represent the floor :D Got what I mean?

It has 2 Theme Park, inside and outside, the inside theme park was beautifull, full of light, some times remembering me with Lippo Karawaci which has the same model, inner theme park, but this one is surely bigger than that, more amusement and more entertainment also. It has Eifell Tower Miniatur, Venice Gondola Miniatur, and many more of it.

Genting is normally knowns as casino places. That's right, there is 3 big casino place in there. Since Malaysian goverment doesn't want to illegal gambling everywhere spreaded in all over malaysia, the build a big casino in Genting. You can see almost all of the gambling games in there, poker, black jack, wheel of fortune, machine matching game, etc.

But for people that come not for gambling there were many other entertainment place to visit, like the theme park, the game center, bowling alley, and snooker billiard, and also the famous flying coaster.

Now, I'll tell you about the outside theme park more, since I not observing the inner one quite detail. The outside theme park is quite similar with the one that built in Jakarta as Dunia Fantasi. But then again the weather is surely different, the weather in Genting is quite similar with Puncak and Bandung. So when you're queueing your game, u'll only feel good air, not hot air. Imagine, riding a roller coaster with fog is bellow your track, it just like riding a roller coaster in the air right ^__^

Ever had a dream to become Superman? hehehe since we cann't fly like him, in Genting there is a flying coaster amusement. What's it like? Well Flying Coaster is just like riding a roller coaster. But the main different is we're not sitting in the roller coaster, but we're have a pose like superman when flying with two of our hands above our head... Up.. .up... and awaaaaaaayyy :D
Try to keep ur mouth shout?? Hahaha, already tried, n failed to do so, since it was to fast and to crazy to do so.

There were also a Gokart Race, which you can ride it with, each race will consist of 16 player. The track the trafic there all real, the one that not real is the rider and the start, since we're prohibited to bump our car to another and the start was once in a column.

Hehehe, ok not enough time to try all the games, since we must catch the time to get back to KL. This time is not visit only, but try to look arround what's in it on KL.

Well, KL is quite similar with Jakarta. All the vehicle is quite similiar, we can found scooter bike and sport bike aswell, and the car brand is quite similar also. The different part is, every motocycle rider must turn their lamp on everytime. And the train n bus in there is verry good in comparission with Jakarta.

But the road condition, the building condition is quite similar with Jakarta. Even the highway itself is similar with Indonesian Highway. One another thing about KL, if in Jakarta you can see motorcycle ontop the pedesterian, at KL you can see Taxi ontop of it :)) Felix is almost hit by the cab driver with his un guilty eye step in to the pedesterian where he walked in. Huehehehe you must thanks to God that u're still alive Cat :D

OK, finished the journey at 12:00 AM, and we carry on to our place by bus or cab there. I'll see u in another adventure trip ok. ^___^ Posted by Picasa

East Coast Journey

Sunday Journey, travelling to east coast park. At first, I was thinking that East Coast will be just an ordinary park, with lots of tree, some place near the beach and hot.

Well, I've got that point quite right, yet there is still more than that to see. It's hot, but the tree cover the area so well, and the water is so clear.

Usually people go to East Coast to have a barbeque party, biking, or playing inline skates, making sand castle, fishing, camping, although there is some other water sport activities in there, like water skateboarding, water win surfing.

Well the verry popular sport in there is biking and inline skate. Each road in there have minimal 3 way. 1 Way is for people walking it's figured by the foot step prints, and the 2 others is for inline skates and biking.

Well, most people think what if I don't have a bike, or inline skates? what should I do in there? just watching peoples who really enjoy that? Do not worry, they rent the inline skate, and the bicycle also. For Inline skate, you can rent it with S$ 6 in the 1st hour, and additional S$ 3 in the next hour. For Bicycle you can rent it with a various price, they rent various model from S$ 3- S$ 15 / hour.

Well it sure is a great place to relaxing and enjoy sporting, since I really like the inline skate there. The track is verry long. You can try to skates uphill, downhill or just flat and cornering.
The track is also fits well with the wheel, a little bit slides will make your skates quite fast.

There was also a place for playing a remote controlled car. The track is designed verry well and clean. It's just like watching the original F1 race there.

What about thirsty?? It sure is thirsty. But do not worry, they also sell foods and drinks there. Alot of Satay food, coconut, and fresh sugar caine juice. The famous "No Sign Board" Seafood restaurant is also there. How about the price, some times the price for the entertainment place is quite expensive. Hm... it's a slightly higher than the normal place. But, I think it's still on a reasonable prices.

Will get back there on next weekend, feel free to joining. Posted by Picasa
