Snow, snow, snowww!

ADUUUUIIII my readers are dissappearing due to my procrastination and stubbornness not to blog.

well here comes a fun-packed punch of a post! :)

let me ask you: where in Genting do you get to chillll the hell out of your bones, need to stuff your mouth to keep warm, and lastly where you come out of it feeling WARM in Genting??

whaaat?? where??

WELLLLLL Genting's Snow World la of course!

TA-DAHHH newly launched in January 2013, it is looking splendid and spankingly new in all its glory.

awesome ehh?? the little people in pink and red are mostly us the media :))))
ON the 23rd of January, Snow World Genting was officially launched (yala i know la most of you went already before that but obviously you didn't go during the launch kan?? and it was more awesome okayyy, it is! it isssss!) with a big bang and lots of smoke i mean flakes that stuck to your clothes and hair.

For those who are plenty skeptical about the "fake" snow and "fake" temperature, let me assure you that yes although it is fake but the overall atmosphere that was generated felt pretty real. Well, my frozen nose felt pretty real to me!

brrrrr sejuk sangat! COOOOOOLD
Well i was feeling pretty sunburnt due to the pre-CNY (Chinese New Year) weather and the lack of rain and all so i decided to be brave and hiked (joking) up to Genting in just a candy red H & M sweater, shorts and sheer tights. BELIEVE ME i suffered. I think I couldn't feel my legs by the time i left the super-low-temperature Snow World.

all bundled up and ready to go in--Genting
Snow World provides boots, gloves, and jackets
Not too crazy about the size of the gloves though, those with fingers like mine (small just like the rest of my body too -_-) will not fit into 6Y kiddy gloves nor into the M sized gloves (too big!) so your fingers might freeze off unless you bring your own gloves. The ones from Sunway Pyramid skating rink worked fine :)

The whole ceremony took about 20-30 minutes (probably worried that the media would freeze) and we were allow to bring in our cameras only for this time at our own risks--Genting has a strict protocol about cameras in Snow World, please don't try to bring yours in!

Itinerary of the launch:

opening dance!
 it's a little bit far la i know but what to do--i was dwarfed by the high and mighties who were shoving recording devices and all. i bet the dancers were cold, though *snigger

speech by Executive VP YB Dato Kevin Sim
A really nice man who kept to the details and did not drag it out because he understood that we were itching to explore the place really!

"unveiling" of Snow World!
me by it afterwards, it changes colors!
exploring the Warm House, one of the icons there
lastly, a luncheon where we were served plenty of finger food
most of the media retreated to this warm cozy (considered) cove where we were fed and watered! See a bundle of pink at the right hand corner? that was us, hundling over hot tea and some finger food. The boys decided to be reckless and had some ice cream potong: crazy, right?

not about to leave before going up to the highest and coldest floor
and acting cute up there! XD

 After the launch we were entertained by a full-on lunch and playtime at the theme park. For once, Genting felt pretty warm to us already :/

yum yum yum at Coffee Terrace, my absolute fav dining place
ready, set, GO!
we tackled the Superman ride, the kiddy Merry-Go-Round, 4D movie of Little Prince, Bumper Cars, some kiddy Rocket Ride before going for some coffee and hot chocolate at Starbucks--all in all, a very fun day!
