GENTING, I LOVE YOU!

Genting has always reminded me of my childhood.
The Rolling Thunder Mine Train, the bumper boats, the Sungai Rajang Flume Ride, the cycling boats. Even the bumper cars.

I laugh, I smile to myself when pictures of them remind me of being a little girl. A little girl with huge dreams. A little girl crying in a huge supermarket when she didnt get the doll she wanted so much. A little girl who loves cotton candies. Waffles. And Popcorns.

I smile when I see the Ferris wheel, the Dinosaurland, the Merry-go-round.
They are all kiddo stuffs, but I really want to ride them again.
Who cares if Im all grown up? Who cares if it all looks childish and snobbish? Who cares if u call me a kiddo?

The rides make me feel happy. Somehow.
The joy when we were once much much younger, much much smaller, much much cuter when we see the merry-go-round. That's how it feels.
We might be old, darlings. But we r young at heart. We still do act like kids at times. Thr's still a child in every one of us.

I just want one ride. And its all that matters.

The Snowland makes me smile. I laugh when I see snow. Its all man-made snow, but who cares? Its cold. It freezes your senses. It numbs your body. It simply makes you happy. It makes me happy :D
I promised myself I will play with real snow when I grow up. And I know I will. Soon.

I smile when I see the cable cars. How I wish the distance is much much longer from Gohtong Jaya to Genting. Seriously.

Cant believe I cried and threw tantrums when my dad said we are not gonna enter the theme park when we visited Genting when I was around 9. Perhaps I had a natural ability to throw huge tantrums. Perhaps my parents were lenient. Perhaps my parents got so bored of me crying non-stop.
I got in at last. And it rained 5 minutes after we got in. How awesome :D
That's how I remembered that moment. It stays. Felt like it got hammered right into my head. Cos it taught me to listen to my parents and forget about being so selfish. For once :D

I wouldnt forget about 'Ripley's Believe It or Not'. Wonder if they still have it. They did some awesome art using coffee on huge pieces of bread, had a gazillion collection of ties, and an illusion tunnel. Not forgetting the Venice Gondola. Gosh, the place was practically turned into a wishing well. There's tons of coins. Bet you did collect at least RM300 if u pick them up. One by one :D
Wonder why I like it?
Cos I spent awesome moments at those attractions with my 1 good friend. A good friend who taught me so many things. A good friend who showed me what love really meant. A good friend who will always remain in my heart.

Genting is always a place I love. The theme park, the cold atmosphere, the buzz.
Would love to go there again to spend some real good quality time with someone I love. With people I love.

And 1 thing I gotta try the next time I visit?
Hmmph... lets just see if they stop me from entering the casino :D
