up in the hills and far far away...with nuffnang

last week, sistah Charis asked me whether i wanted to be her +1 for a charity movie screening up at Genting on Friday the 1st of June, also the International Children's Day.

well i hesitated a lil bit at first since we would be going up with a bunch of strangers and going through alot of activities with a bunch of strangers, but then i decided, YOLO, why the hell not!

cert we all got from genting!

this charity screening was organized both by nuffnang and the genting PR team with a few people from Starbucks as well.

what was included?
Free transport (both ways) + Breakfast + MIB3 screening in 3D + Lunch + Theme park tickets
(syoook!)

So at 7.30am in the morning, me and Charis found ourselves trudging out the car into Wisma Genting and meeting up with the Nuffnang peeps and other bloggers.
we were the first! (well other than the Nuffnang "tour guides" one of which was Anne)

when everybody came up the hill we went! not singing merrily though, ehehe. most of us slept all the way up Genting, i think.

we finally reached at 9-ish in the morning, the weather was soooo COLD! Fog! Strong wind! Chill through Your Bones! we quickly scurried into the warmth (sort of) at the First World lobby and the representative from Genting's team saved us from starving.

lobby was decorated ala candylicious + chocolicious style

breakfast! (cold) hot chocolate and bluberry + banana muffins from Starbucks

met YinYin, photography and food blogger

after breakfast, we were ushered into the movie theatre for the ultimate movie "Men In Black 3", in 3D!!

before the movie!

my first time watching movies in 3D, i was always put off by my friends who told me it wasn't worth it/ it gave them headaches/ not much difference, and i am proud to announce that all of those didn't apply to me.

it gave an interesting addition to what normally would be a flat screen movie with the layers and the focus given to what we should notice, so day dreamers who sometimes find themselves looking at the background while the movies play would not miss out on the dramas now! (like me)

lunch was provided ala buffet style

spaghetti that took ages to be done

yoghurt baked chicken! didn't taste the yoghurt though

salad my style Xp

where we also gave gifts to the children afterwards

the last few hours were spent in the themepark!
too bad it was kinda crowded as it was a school holiday and a weekend, we had to line up about 30 to 45 mins per ride, so me and sistah only went on the Cockscrew, the scary pirate ride (not scary at all!), and lastly the boat riding in the lake =)

worth RM114 each

see?? my twin!

the not-so-scary-after-all cockscrew

in the middle of the windy lake, it is loves!

as usual, sistah Charis and me fielded questions and comments like,

"are you twins?"

"how old are you two?"

"you guys look SO alike!"

so one of the Nuffnag-ers told me and sistah that there was a competition running under Nuffnang titled "Rock Out Twice As Hard With Twins, Live in Malaysia", where you simply find someone who looks like you and take a pic to wins tickets to their concert plus one night's free accomodation!

Check out my sistah's post about it <3  

at the end of the day, we came down from far far away exhausted but exhilarated from our stint up the cold windy hill of Genting.

cheers!
