A Famosa Resort~

In order to replace my mum's place(she went India), i went on behalf of her to their company's trip to A Famosa Resort for 2 days 1 night.

the whole process is started with a treasure hunt, by car.
so in a number of 4, i join my parents colleagues which i just met a day before. there were 18 cars participating this treasure hunt, including ours.

to cut the whole process short, it goes like this:

1. arriving at 7am
2.meeting up with members
3.car deco (with flags, banners and suff..)
4.breakfast( super hot nasi lemak---*hot tears*)
5.briefing( so that u wont get lost..)
6.zerorising the car meter
7.receiving the list of clues and procedures
8.flag off
9.START!!!!

v started in the city center of KL...

Due to lack of experience in treasure hunts like this,
plus the honks-honks by frustrated cars ( we are going in extremely slow speed---to catch clue), we FORGOT to stop at all!! (we are suppose to stop as we want to seek answers,without reversing the car/turning bk- to keep accurate reading of meter) so, ended up missing 2 clues..so...tembak lar...

Out of KL, things ran quite smoothly. we managed to maintain accurate meter reading, and of course stopping along roadside to look for answers, collected 'treasures' (including a pitcher fr A&W, some forms and a box of KFC--that sort of things lar....quite out of my expectations actually..) other questions given were all related to the buildings, billboards, and thing that u could see, meaning, the answer in just in front of u.
open eyes big-big will do.
we got most though..

we started at 8.17 am, and arrived at A FAMOSA RESORT at 12 p.m. The journey was slow, brain-stormed, although it was quite a short distance.
overall, it was fun and enjoyable..

the later process:
1. register arrival at A Famosa Water Park
2. linger around
3. lunch ( with others who are not from Central Region--not all came through treasure hunt)
4. telematch( it was raining, all soaked and drenched..plus sand and dirt..)
5. got back to bungalows( 4 sets in a bungalow)
6. dinner at Cowboy town----where the results are out!!

There was loads of jokers.
one of the treasures needed , mentioned in the paper :
" a box of KFC with 2 pieces"
its supposed to say,
"A box of KFC, With 2 pieces of CHICKEN" .
and there was a group of joker who simply sent in 2 pieces of the neatly folded KFC 'BOX'.yea..safe the trouble of waiting to buy lar....we all did it though...waited till 10.30 am for the shop to open,while looking around for clues..
and the pitcher required from A & W, was actually a 'pitcher' of Root Beer, in the MENU.
aNd there are ppl sending in the JUG , or u can say MUG, from A & W. Dunno how they managed to get it ... Steal? i suppose...it is not on sale!!! just for serving wise!!
haha...these ppl are really funny, with all those ridiculous answers to the questions...

and...we didnt won.
there were other contestants who are more accurate in answers.

the prizes are as below..

1st :big-big hamper
1st runner up: medium hamper
2nd runner up: small hamper

and i am kind of ....dissapointed.
hamper only ka???

humph....anyway, the cowboy town was quite interesting...,

the statue, right in front of the cowboy town..




and the fire works...
(i didnt brought my cam, it went india wit my mom..so credits to my fren who took this)

we went for the red indian show, musical parade,fireworks...bla.. bla....

money matters everywhere. there was this tiger, in the shopping villa, which we had to pass through to watch the shows and parade. and they actually limited the walking space by BLOCKS, to FORCE tourists to take pic with their red indian, which stood with the tiger---ONE BY ONE.
So it almost took us 1 DAMN HOUR to pass through the stage, to the show. and each photo cost for RM21.00 IF you are willing to buy. But whether u want it or not, they FORCED u to take pic 1st!!! so frustrated at that time. the Red Indian's job is to pose, and block tourist in NARROWED line to take pictures with him. REALLY, everything there is all commercially planned.
MONEY MATTERS FOR EVERY SINGLE THING.
( except our dinner lar--paid by the company.)

went back around 11.00pm in my room-mate's car. and meet up with WY from U6A.
just soo coincidentally, i m on the same date with their class trip, and even lived near to each other!! so went to their room and stayed till 12 sumthing midnight..
their class trip, is really a class trip. where almost everyone participated. quite a BIG party they have. They occupied two bungalows, and....i dun think they bother to sleep at all lar..... busied themselves gambling, dancing(on the machine thingy they brought), unos , and stuff...

as for food is super expensive, i almost laugh my head off when i saw their food storage. erm...they looked like refugees.... food, esp junk food, in piles and piles of them...water( they brought themselves),rice, cold storage(for bbq), and i even saw quite a number of boxes of cheesecake from JUSCO.
erm....i brought nothing though...^^

their rooms really differ ALOT from ours. the room stinked so much, that WY and her friend broke the "MAY" soap into bits(by using what i dunoo..) and hung it in a plastic bag in front of the air-cond. they even threw some bits into the flap of the air-cond to "refresh" the air...
very very....IMPRESSIVE...to think of something like that..i suggested diluting 'shokubutsu' , which can produce a better odour...haha...but its a waste lar!! really had loads of fun with them...haha...didnt go to own class trip but bumped into their's instead....

btw...i slept ALONE that night b'coz i went bk to my room too late, my roomate was asleep..( 2 in a room) as there is a spare room( total 4), i shifted my stuff, and slept in that spare room which consist of 2 beds.
athough not 1st time sleeping alone outside, still, had to try my best to wave of those creepy thoughts...didnt thought too much..off the lights and almost immediately off.. thats the purpose of getting myself dead tired...so that i wont get chance to think too much...haha..and slept really well!!

there was sharing session the next day by some singaporeans...which i almost dozed off..and bk to KL..IN an HOUR!! We took almost 4 hrs ++ to come, and drove bk within 1 hr.. haha...er---140km/hr...

i not the driver o'coz....
