Singapore to Malaysia
I had packed quite a number of stuff to prepare to for the December 2006 trip to Genting Highlands, Malaysia. As it was heard to be rather air-con cooled, I thought bringing a jacket or sweater might help.
It was an early morning, as the whole family had planned to leave Singapore by 6.30am to avoid the peak period as that would cause much delay in our journey. We arrived at Tangkak for morning breakfast at 10am, while visiting our relatives at the same time to let them know our presence.
After the visit, the trip to K.L. was up ahead. The roads were long that if you were a average driver, you could drive with one eye closed! It was that straight. Upon arriving in K.L., I saw the reputable Petronas Tower. It is quite tall and very stirdy-looking.
We had to pass drive through quite a number of toll booths to get the toll tickets and pay them at the end. Some tolls measure a long distance, hence the high fees.
Upon reaching the foot of Genting Highlands, we could see the mist at the peak of the highlands from far. The roads were rather steep, but are much widened compared to the time when I was there. At first, I thought that the car with the bigger engine would be the ones that run faster. Then, I saw smaller cars driving up the same road and ran much faster in speed. I was amazed at that! Of courses, the buses had much difficulty but made it at the end.
Driving at the top of Genting Highlands was rather tough as the driver had to see through the mist to be able to drive properly and refrain from causing accidents.
When we finally arrived at the foyer of the First World Hotel, the temperature was like air-conditioning. I had to put on my sweater so as not to start shivering. Had a lot of baggages to carry.
I was amazed at how the Hotel had been decorated with christmas trees and lightings. What a beautiful sight it was!
