A company trip to Genting Highlands - Part II

Part II of my story. You can back track to Part I over here : http://marvinchong.blogspot.com/2008/04/company-trip-to-genting-highlands-part.html

A double decker bus...!

Lunch time!

Anyway, we arrived at 11.30am, so by the time we made it in, it was already 12.00pm - time for lunch! A large number of our staff gathered in a shaded area beneath the staircase, and started to deploy the contents of their picnic basket. After having a filling meal, the people broke up into their respective groups and went their separate ways.

The pirate ride. One of the few rides to be open throughout the rain. Unfortunately, there are more decorations on the outside than inside. Waiting for something to happen, before you know it you're outside already.

Unfortunately for us, it started raining at nearly 1pm. It wasn't really that heavy, but at that altitude, it was enough to cause some mists to form. The outdoor rides were closed and it wasn't until ~3.00pm that they were open once again. By then, the outdoor park was quite empty, as anyone who wanted to come in would have to pay full price when more than half the day was gone already.

I did not go on many rides, because I've been to Genting before some 3-4 years ago. Not much has changed since then. I'm disappointed to find that some of the rides were temporarily closed, like the monorail and dragon ride (don't remember the actual name, though).

Deserted - where has everyone gone?

Due to the overcast sky, it was not an ideal scene to take good photos. Nonetheless, the photos are here : http://mcwk.multiply.com/photos/album/59/A_company_trip_to_Genting_Highlands

You will never convince me to get on this ride!

Well, at the end of the day, it was time to go back. We had told everyone earlier to gather at the bus at 7.30pm, so after a hasty dinner, I rushed back to the bus and we left for Vishay as scheduled. Ha, ha. The other bus, they made a pact to depart at 8.30pm, so by the time they reached Vishay, I was already prepared for bed at home!

We've learnt some valuable lessons from this experience - the first ever company trip. Hope that there will be another one next year, so we can improve on our organizational skills!
