AS IF IT IS NOT COLD ENOUGH IN IPOH... GENTINGS WE WENT!!
The weather these days are pretty cooling here, not only in Ipoh but many parts in Malaysia especially the coastal areas. For the first time since many months back, I saved electricity for one night without the air con, the night air was so nice and cooling with the windows opened.
Oh, I have digressed... In this post, it is about my three days getaway to Gentings!
This time we drove up, parked the car in Awana Sky Avenue... walked a bit around the Gentings Premium Outlet stores, had the most expensive ice cream cone at Godiva for RM25 and off we went up to the hotel via Cable Car... Each ticket is RM8 each...
As usual, we stayed at the cheapest hotel, that is the First World, the largest hotel in the world! The place was full of people and more people, throughout the whole day and night. It is the busiest lobby I have ever seen so far... there is no night nor day here... Checking in is pretty easy on the many self kiosks at the lobby... no long queues and waiting, just have to slot in my ID and everything is done, room receipt and key given at the same kiosk. Quickly we put our bags in the room and out we went to explore the newly opened Sky Avenue.
Staying in First World is very convenient...up the escalator and everything is there... this time we stood there to admire the spectacular SkySymphony! It is a free-to-public performance showcasing an extraordinary orchestra of audio, visual and motion graphics programming. With 1,001 winch balls suspended from a four-storey high ceiling, each performance is accompanied by cinematic visuals and original music mix.

Next highlights on the screen showed this!
Presenting the actress of yester-years...
Chan Poh Chu..
I wonder how many of us can still remember her...
Those born in the 50s and 60s.. should know.. LOL
And I am one of them...
Too bad I could not be able to make it for her concert on the 20.1.2018!!
Yes. Pretty cold lately especially today. Cloudy and occasional rain.
ReplyDeleteOh. Not sure I heard her song or not. But I know she is an actress and I watched some of her drama.
You are too young then.. My elder sisters are her die-hard fans.. :)
DeleteWasn't she around during the time of the likes of Fung Pao Pao? Gee!!! I am old! LOL!!!
ReplyDeletehahha.. sama sama!
DeleteThe SkySymphony is so high tech! Must feel like winter up there. So very cold.
ReplyDeleteNot really.. cos we were indoors most of the time
DeleteWow! I have never seen anything like this Sky Symphony! Is it a hologram...or maybe a giant screen? What a grand idea to have the kiosks, we have nothing like this! Long lines at fancy hotels. Can't wait to see the rest of your adventure!
ReplyDeleteNothing much interesting except for food and casinos..
DeleteVery windy and cold in SG these few days, must be even colder up in Genting
ReplyDeleteNot too cold.. just long sleeve will do cos we were indoors..
