A getaway to Genting

This getaway was planned about two months ago. I was looking forward to it. And the time was right as the boss had recovered from his surgery of his little finger. 

We arrived First World Hotel yesterday morning by a coach. It was already 10.30am and we were waiting for another friend who was supposed to check-in our room for us.

The hotel lobby..
We waited here for almost 2 hours.

Then we adjourned to the convention centre to have a look.

At the same time, we got our room key, entrance tickets and our lucky draw tickets.
We rested in our room and got ready by 5pm.

At 5.30pm, we met our upline and took a picture with her.

We had a chinese-styled dinner.
The award winning event ended at about 11pm.
 


The next day, ie today, we went to explore.
We don't see outdoor themed park anymore.
Renovation is being done.

My favorite place..
we took a picture here.

Love this beautiful new hotel.
Lots of great statues inside it.


We got ourselves a membership and slot cards for free.
Tried the slot machines but no luck..
With the membership card, we got a discount of RM2 on food.

Guess how much this plate of nasi lemak cost after the deduction.

We left Genting at 4pm. I reached my place at 7.30pm 
after the coach driver had sent the other passengers back.

Short and sweet getaway!

      Your boss needs to travel a bit to recharge and change the frequency around him. I may sound like a superstitious old lady but it is true.

      The theme park has lost its shine and popularity when compared to all the others in overseas! It is high time they upgrade to the best. Genting has too much funds and budget!

      Oh..it's a self-sponsored trip..
      I was saying that the boss didn't need me to be around the shop. He didn't go. I went with my friend.

Twin bananas

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
