A holiday trip to Genting Highlands – Malaysia
Photos and Travels January 18th, 2008
Hi there guys, you all probably wonders why I’ve been quiet for the past few weeks, well the reason is that I was away on a holiday trip with my family. This time I went to Genting Highlands.
Seems like it changed a lot since I last went there 10 years ago, here are some of the pics. I’ve stayed in Awana Genting Hotel for the duration of this trip and they gave me free cable car ticket ride to the theme park.
Do you know how fast these cable cars go? according to GPS reading, Its top speed is around 12-15 km/h and it slows down to 8 km/h when approaching its terminal. It’s funny to see some of the passengers closed their eyes when the cable car slides out from the terminal.
Apparently there’s a passenger limit on each cable cars.
I finally arrived at the theme park, I bought an all day pass wristband for me to enjoy all the rides over there. The funny square thing on the wristband is called QRCode (2 dimensional barcode), which is machine readable and meant to be read by a specialised scanner software.
Well, that’s all from me now, watch this space soon for other posts!
Back from Port Dickson! – No big deal actually
Photos and Travels January 7th, 2008
I just got back from Port Dickson (Malaysia). Suffice to say that I don’t go there solely for a holiday by the way. And yes, despite what my friend have said about it, I still think Port Dickson sucks for my taste.
Ah by the way, It was new year when I was there. No big deal there either, actually.

Are those Running Shoes ?
Funny, Photos and Travels December 2nd, 2007
Snapped this on the way back home, a while back. His kids are surely going to miss their school shoes :p
He drove the car without ever realising that his wife (probably) put their kids shoes to dry on the back of his car. The shoes didn’t last long however, after the traffic light turned green, I saw the shoes fall off the car. Too bad I was busy concentrating on the traffic at that time to snap another photo.
Anyway, happy school holiday guys…
