Finally, the day for my retreat, alone up to genting. I was hesitant to even leave for golden mile on the day itself. But I pulled myself up and went for it.
Pros & Cons of travelling alone:
For the first, which is the obvious, I am the only one there for myself. So, I gotta make an effort to keep myself safe at all times.
When I am alone in the coach and there was a bad jam at Tuas checkpoint, I got no one to talk to in the coach. So, I logged on to msn via my mobile. Jair & Kirk was there to chat with me. When I saw Kirk's displayed name on msn "It's not about what you got, it's about what you make of what you've got (quote from Step Up 2)." I totally snapped out of my gloomy mood. I thought to myself "yeah, I am doing something to my life, so I should feel happy instead."
Reached genting around 6-7am I think. I could only checked in at 2pm. I got lotsa and lotsa time to spend. Real big deal for me, when I am still tired and wanting to sleep in. I went to Mac for breakfast. Then walked outside the hotel to enjoy the cold morning breeze and fresh air.
Morning view outside First World Plaza.
Morning views outside Theme Park Hotel. Real peaceful.
Thereafter, I found myself a cool and quiet place to rest my feet. Combining both the great outdoor weather and music in my player. I was simply feeling the music in me and indulging in the sense of touch (cold breeze blowing on my face, closing all my pores haha..)
Packed Kenny Roger for lunch. Took my bag from conscierge and checked into my room at Tower 2, 27th floor.
I was so sleepy after lunch. Fell asleep from 4pm till 7pm. Went down to get movie tic and packed chicken rice for dinner. Chatted on msn and fell asleep again.. yeah.. real tired.. haha. Woke up just in time at 1.25am when linda sms me. Realised movie is starting in 5min time. Should I go or should I continue sleeping? Heck la. I changed my clothes and make it down to the theatre. It's unlike Spore's GV. Movie starts on the dot. I missed the first 10 min of Hellboy.
Next morning - woke up, had curry noodle for breakfast. Then watched Dark Knight at 12.30pm. Went shopping, walking. Bought Marry Brown chicken for lunch. Ate lunch, watch tv and nua (rot) on bed.
Went down to Coffee Bean, enjoy a cuppa with cheesecake and read my manga.
Next movie, Hancock at 8.30pm. Thereafter, zzzz again.
Woke up early at 7.30am. Showered, packed my stuff and had breakfast. Another con of travelling alone. No one to share the big bowl of porridge and beansprouts with me. I practically force it down at the end of it.. felt super full.
Walked around for the last time before checking out at 11am. Took the coach at 11.30am back to Spore.
The first day & night in Genting was kinda tough cos I was all alone and felt abit lost as to what I should do. Not to forget - linda tried to scare me about First World hotel being "dirty" and all and Rosie told me "jangan pandang belakang". I totally freaked out. I brought my hp into the shower, blast music to the max and left the shower door open. Slept with lights and tv on for the 1st night. All thanks to linda and Rosie. Anyway, 2nd day onwards, I managed to brush off 90% of the fears and kinda got the hang of travelling alone.
I am now either planning a trip with my parents to Malacca or another own retreat to KL.
