We, students of DT36, were required to make a day trip to any destination in Malaysia using public transportation. Initially, we were planning to go to Langkawi Island as we’d be using a lot of the public transportation. However, many of the classmates couldn’t make it due to financial problem and some of them couldn’t stay over for so many days. Finally, we decided to go to Genting Highland on the 6th of August.
We were supposed to take the public transport to go to Genting Highland together. Unfortunately, I was sick on that day and was having a bad diarrhea so I didn’t get to join my group members in the morning. I was so sad about it because I missed a lot of fun being with them. When I got better, I asked my friends to send me to Genting Highland by car to join my classmates as I was still sick. It took us about 1hour and 30minutes to reach Genting Highland. On the way, we had to pay a RM5 toll by using the Karak Highway.
I reached Genting Highland around 5.30PM and met up with some of my classmates in the Genting First World Hotel. As I’ve missed out the whole journey of getting to Genting Highland with my classmates, I got some updates from Sting. He told me that many of them couldn’t make it on time and some missed the train and bus.
sting! my closest friend in the class. :)
After having dinner, I went to the casino together with Sting and a few of my friends. It was my first time! I’ve never stepped into any casino before. Then, went back to the apartment where my classmates stayed. Many of them were getting ready to sleep as they were too tired of the journey. However, I couldn’t believe that some of them were studying Accountings in the living room. Too hardworking! For me, I think it’s a trip for us to gather and have fun together especially for the foreigner students but it seemed to me that many of us were not having that much fun. I just don’t know why.
On the next day, we were separated and went on our own way. Most of them went home earlier. As for me, I stayed a little longer with my own group of friends and headed to the outdoor themepark. But before that, we drove down to Gohtong Jaya to have our lunch. Then, we took the cable car to the top of Genting Highland. I bought the return ticket which cost RM10. It’s been ages since I’ve taken the cable car. Couldn’t remember when the last time was though. When I was lining up for the cable car, the queue was so long!! And I waited for about 40minutes!! Actually I was fear of height, but I took up the courage to take the cable car. And it took about 15minutes to reach the top.
look at the queue!!! just part of it!!
finally!! got into the cable car!! :p
After outdoor themepark, my friends and I had dinner at Genting First World Hotel. At about 7PM, we headed to the Skyway station wanted to go down to Gohtong Jaya and head home. But the queue was longer than before! It was getting colder and I felt sick again. So we decided to take a taxi. Most of the taxis in Genting Highland are not metered taxi. At first, the taxi driver asked for RM60 to send us to Gohtong Jaya Skyway Station. But after a few minutes of bargaining, we only paid RM40 for the taxi. Got our car, then we headed home immediately as we were very tired.
Honestly, I didn’t really spend much time with my classmates through out the whole journey. But I can tell that this trip wasn’t organized and many of us didn’t really corporate well with each other. I think that we should plan a proper itinerary for the trip. Last but not least, punctuality is very important in any event too. Anyway, it was a great experience for all of us especially to the foreigner students as many of them never taken some of the public transportation like train and cable car before. It was their first time to Genting Highland too!
I believe there’s no right or wrong, there’s only lessons to learn. I learnt my lesson through this trip. Next time, I would make sure everything is well planned and manage my time properly.
I must thank Ms. Madelyn for giving us this chance to share this experience together with the classmates.
