Genting short breakaway

07.07.11~08.07.2011

I booked the hotel a week ago via online website. Manage to found a reasonable price at RM98/nite @ First world hotel. I am excited on this day to come. It has been quite a while i did not take a break. Been bz with the photo shop biz (Jajemmi Foto Station). It start early this year, from planning, execution, till running now. Quite tense up when things are falling apart, yes, even my family. Miss them alot while i am all alone in this big city, miss them so so much.

Chatting over the phone or msn video call are pathetic. There is one time my son sees me in msn, he open his arms, called me Papa... this means he wan me to hold him, hug him... i could not do tat... my tears nearly blast out. So, i told myself, i need to work extra hard, achieve goals and everything will be goes smooth soon after.

So, i need this holiday badly, i need an quick escape, i need a short breakie. Only took us 40mins from selayang to genting.

This is Jedric's 1st time to Genting. We parked our car at 1st world basement 4th floor. Found a car park quite far away from the lift, no choice but to walk cos the papa not so familiar with genting...haha... So, get him ready sitting on a stroller, then, off we go!

While waiting the lift to the hotel lobby. Look how sweet he smile... he knows kai-kai means shopping.

Yay! at last we are finally here, 1760meter above sea level!

Check-in hotel was rather easy, it can be done in their check-in kiosk but i wanted to amend something, so i Q for changing it to double bed instead of twin bed. After checking in the room, it was clean and basic, we don't mind at all. Jedric  is happily running around the room.

After settle down everything, we head to indoor theme park to explore. Bought 2 tickets for aldults. Jedric need not a ticket. =)

Told him to hop on a horse (marry-go-round), he shows excitement but then when his mom accompany him, and the thing keep spinning...he starts to chicken out dy. Silly boy!!!

Bring him to gondola too... as these are family rides.

He keeps staring at this "uncle".... hahahah... he must be frighten gua...

Then, we Q up for bumper car but when our turn, the staff told us he is too small to play... piang eh...waste our time waiting. apala!

I cannot remember how many time I accompany him to sit on this mini train. He is very excited on the bell as well. He keep telling me... traaaaaiiin.... So, i got no choice but to Q again and again.

After a few family ride, we oso tired already, so, we head back to hotel to take a quick nap. Dinner will be meeting up a friend whom works here. She will bring us for good food.

Jedric 1st experience on a bus. We took from 1st world to genting hotel.

Meeting up a friend, Adrianne. After dinner, she bring us to walk around.

"Papa look, a fountain"

This boy is always full of energy running around.

This two ladies keep talking when they meet up. Only few minute they did not talk, tat is becos they bz chewing the food. So, me n my son gets bored... he pulled me up, asking me to bring him around. Hahaha... we go ferris wheel another round.

We checked out next day morning, the breakfast in 1st world cafe has improved compare to my last visit few years back. I would rather call it a canteen, becos, here everything is fast and in volume. We decided to enjoy cool breeze outdoor today, so, we had some walking.

"Look papa, i found a dunno-wat-lock, how come got lock here one?"

The malay uncle gave me this "apple"

Yes, i forgot my tripod...

His mom ask him put his lil' hand into the pocket and he obey! So cute!

We then walk back to 1st world, had the ice-cream she showing interest yesterday (i pull my wife away when she stare at it yesterday)

We waited >20min for the to get ready our serving. It does look like "frying" the ice-cream, actually they use the chiller to make it chilled. Wat is special? i dunno! the bottom cup is made by chocolate in liquid form, they freeze it and mold it into a cup for the ice-cream.

Tadaaaa... Gelatomio ice-cream, ICE-CREAM ON THE ROCK! U get to choose 2 flavours of ice-cream, few toppings.

Too bad, we gotto enjoy it without tables and chairs. According to the staff, they are new and waiting Genting to provide them some seats.

My boy sees this and keep saying he wants "Ice keeeem"... just give him a spoon and he will do the rest, no need to teach one. The portion is too big for us and we cannot finished it. So, i ask the staff "tabao" for me, he then add more toppings on it...omg, already cannot finish liao.

We reach selayang house abt 3something in the afternoon. I felt terribly warm when back... i just love the cooling weather there...

P/S: special thanks to Adrianne to bring us to good dinner, love the durian dessert. We had a very very bad lunch in the food court... yuuuucks, now tat dinner call food la...hahhahaha....

We, voted them?

Everytime i hear our minister being interviewed, they cannot answer it correctly! 1st, they did not hear wat is the question, in their heart they are so defensive till they shut their ears! They just wanted to say wat he wanted to say, is this a debate? y r u so defensive? i have never hear other minister from other country so defensive? We need some one who is charisma, able to handle the situation calmly and not like wat we hear/see in the video. Obviously, we did not vote them to represent us! They are being "choose" not becos they are capable, just to fill up the table.

Y u wanna quarel with a journalist? Can you be diplomatic? this is world wide TV, whole world sees this! Y u wanna mention other country, y u wanna condemn others and just to show u r better? Y u wanna interrupt, when ppl is asking you a questions? Never hear and fully understand the whole situation! The example u given is totally not related. Pls dun answer when ur head is HOT! Cos... u r mempersiasuikan...

I am so looking forward on the coming GE!!!

Thank you, God!

Having love ones by ur side is always a bliss... see ur kid interact is...fuwah, i kenot express my happiness to you but all i can say is, i am blessed with love ones. Been awhile i never had a break. So looking for tmr's short break with my love ones. Biz has started since april, i almost work daily, trying my best to put it on the right track... and it seems on the right track now.

Photography - Water Drip Experiment Shoot

I was bored in the shop, feel lazy to continue edit those wedding photos. So, i decided to take a break, pick up some of the old photography magazines to get some creative ideas. Manatau the shutter bug bite me and cause my hand itchy, body itchy. And i start to do some setup for a totally new challenge. A new type of photography that i did not do before i.e water dripping!

It's really spontaneous and thank god, i could use all the things i have in my shops. And the setup went really smooth and i can start shooting after 10mins. It was easy! :)

Here are only 2 picture that able to present, not perfect, not satisfied but at least it can be presentable, to let u all see.

All these were done in Manual mode, shutter speed at 1/1250, aperture at F8, ISO at 200, manual focus. Need to preset the focusing and use continuos mode to shoot until i get my desire water dripping style. I uses my Sony A550 + minolta 35-70mm F4 lens (commonly called "mini beercan"!)

It was fun! Doing something that is out of box is certainly FUN! i would certainly to try it again.
