1st time in Genting Highland

It was the 2nd day where I ended my exam (20th Jan). I walked to Uni to take away roti telur and roti susu for dinner. There's nobody at home except me and Audri. On my way back to my house, I met my coursemates Lynn, William and Charly in a car waiting for Chris for dinner just in front of the bridge. I stopped by to chat a while and ended up being in the car. Charly and William just finished their last paper, so they're quite excited.

Although I took away roti for dinner, I followed them to Restaurant 52 for dinner, and that's a BIG dinner. They're talking about going to Genting Highland at night, and asked me and Chris to joined. I knew it's going to be time consuming and it'll drain all my energy, but since I'm in holiday mood, I agreed. So we left Semenyih at 10.30 p.m, William was driving.

They said it's going to be 2 hours drive until we reach Genting, but honestly the journey isn't that long as I thought. Spending time talking with coursemates can be fun, although I don't know them that well yet. The road up to Genting is really tough, William is really good for being able to get us up safely.



We arrived Genting at 12p.m something. It wasn't as cold as I expect (since I'd been to Mt.Kinabalu) but I really LOVED the breeze and the haze. Since it's my first time at Genting, they brought me around to have a look, but basically most of the shops are closed. They are really excited with the cars around there... (I have no sense of car, so it's OK for me). Then we had a drink at Starbucks.



Oh ya, I discovered something fun. By using flash to take pictures, the haze somehow turned out to be snowy in the pictures, looks like UK. It feels so good to enjoy ourselves in "UK" after exam.




Everyone is so excited meeting this thing...



In Starbucks:

Everone's satisfied and we returned at 3a.m. Something unpleasant happened on the way back, William's car ran our of refrigerant, and the temperature of the car risen. We stopped after the 2nd toll, refilled the refrigerant with drinking water and waited for a while (there goes another chatting session).


The car somehow performed quite stable, but we stopped at a nearby petrol station to add water , and sat down to have some chating again. Luckily the whole car are Mechanical Engineers (soon to be), I think I'm the only one that doesn't know how to handle the situation.

Well, I never knew that so many things can happen in one night because of taking away dinner from the cafeteria. Finally, we reached home safely at 5a.m. Isaiah 55:9 says "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your thoughts." LORD, thanks for blessing my journey and this little time of fellowship with my coursemates in Genting, the way You plan is really amazing. I pray for the people that are back to their respective places gathering with their family, pray that they will have a good time to strengthen their relationship and also break down the misunderstanding or barrier in between. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
