At the stroke of midnight : our random breakdance + housie photoshoot atop Genting Highlands!

February 8, 2012 by thejessicat

 



 

Sometimes we only reminisce what we do best during our younger days.

But some of us try to relive it.

 

When I was a teenager madly immersed in hip hop and street culture – like many others at the time, I used to dabble in some breakdancing routines with fellow teens and high school kids.

That was circa 2003-2005, mind you!

 

But one fine day, housie Edwin and I decided to give le old bones some good crackin'

 

Looks like we've still got it kickin', even after 10 years!

 

 

I can clearly remember my fave moves were the helicopter, windmill, turtle, 6-step, seven, scorpion and various air-freezes.

 

Unfortunately, I sucked at them; wasn't exactly the best B-Girl on the block.

But I sure harboured lots of passion for it, regardless.

 

Breaking into a side-freeze in Genting Indoor Themepark at midnight!

 

Futile attempts at the air-flare

It was indeed a random night out. ;)

It all happened 'cos we didn't feel like sleeping after continuous unfruitful rounds at Casino de Genting

 

Pretty indoor view at Genting

 

I was up in Genting Highlands to attend FREEZE and was glad le housies tagged along to have fun

We sure do get up to a lot of hilarious fun!!

 

Just being silly in my Deluxe Twin Room in First World Hotel, Genting

 

On the same night as the breakdance photoshoot, we also got up to taking artsy profile shots and group shots of us housies. 

Let the randomity begin!

 

Posing and shizz

Beware of the Yakuza on the loose!

 

Take one!

Fashion spread cover photo much?

Think we can pull it off? 😛

 

I miss Genting Highlands already!

 

But the next time we get up there…

 

UNCLE LIM… WE DEMAND

YOU GIVE US OUR MONEY BACK!!

 $$$$$$$$$$ KA-CHING!

FREEZE spellbounds us upon the stage of ice, magic and entertainment @ Genting International Showroom!

January 10, 2012 by thejessicat

 

Just before we ushered in the new year, I was invited by Resorts World Genting to witness their new resident show: a multi-million ringgit production of Ice, Magic & Entertainment aptly named 'FREEZE'.

I haven't been to Genting Highlands in over a year so I thought, hey, why not?

 

The journey up to the 'Fun City Above the Clouds' was a winding one. 

T'was cold when I arrived (to my surprise!) and a hot cuppa from Starbucks was all I needed

 

I brought my buddy & housie Pamela to the show with me as well

As soon as we got up there, we started dolling up for the show

 

As I was booked into First World Hotel, it was quite a fair bit of a walk for us. But no matter!

'FREEZE' was to be held at Genting International Showroom, in the same building as Resort Hotel.

 

YAY Finally arrived the showroom!

 

But first, we decided to dine before the show to avoid being cold & hungry in there!

So we went for the buffet dinner at Coffee Terrace Genting courtesy of Resorts World Genting! Thank you 🙂

 

At the entrance of Coffee Terrace Genting

 

Inside

 

There was a plethora of food available during the buffet. We were delighted to find a host of both international and local delights.

 

Alright, dinner beckons us! :D

Here, lemme show you some of what we had

 

 

 

Watching Chinese people cook really, really intrigue me.

Just look at those oppressive flames amongst the food –

 

Frying food with gigantic flames inside the wok for so long without burning the meals!


Cooking level : ASIAN

 

We were spoilt for choice looking at all those food and more! 

Here's something that got me ticking :

 

Not just an ordinary chocolate fondue fountain… it's a

A WHITE CHOCOLATE FONDUE FOUNTAIN!

Here were some of the choices we recommend from Coffee Terrace Genting :

 

Roast Turkey ham slices

 

New York Cheesecakes

 

And from our plates:

 

Butter Fish, Grilled Dory, Chicken & Beef Teriyaki, Seafood Aglio Olio, Tempura, Fried Soft Shell Crab

 

Tiramisu, Sushi & Maki, Chicken Sausage, Bread & Butter Pudding

 

Fresh Garden Pasta, Black Pepper Roast Beef

 

Other food worthy of not (which we didn't snap photos of) were :

Carrot Soup, Nyonya Chicken, Teochew Siakap & Century Egg Broth, Baby Prawn & Red Snapper, Lamb Kurma, Chocolate Chip Ice Cream with White Chocolate Sauce, Thai Green Curry & Beef Rendang. 

 

A definite must-try! 

 

We adjourned to Genting International Showroom at sharp 9PM

 

Ready?

 

Too excited to be spellbounded by world-class performers! 

 

Behold, the never-been-staged-before production is about to begin

 

 

The showroom has turned into one of the largest ice entertainment venue in Malaysia

 

 

This million-pound ice-rink was specially constructed for 'FREEZE', operating at a permanent -8°C

 

 

We were entertained with a vast array of magic, entertainment and acrobatic stunts all on ice!

 

 

It was stupendous, to say the least 

 

 

Apart from stunts and whatnot, there was a musically inclined performance

on the violin and graceful dances from a fusion of performers from Ukraine, Europe & Asia

 

Introducing the enchanting illusionist Anastasiia Birch from Ukraine!

 

She appears through an empty crystal box

 

Captivating us with her brand of illusion

 

We were wow-ed by many of her talents

 

Anastasiia performing her double levitation act

 

Anastasiia performing the World's Largest Turbine Illusion 

So dangerous my heart sank when I saw her disappear into the turbine and emerge from the other side!

 

 

To think that it has sank enough, I was so very wrong.

I literally gritted my teeth and had my fists in a gridlocked clench the moment I saw this – 

 

Anastasiia performing the World's Largest Drill Illusion

 ohmy.

 

Loved it when everything was set in flames

 

The Huachen Acrobatic Group from China induced a jaw-dropping and eyebrow-raising reaction from me

These flexible and limber daredevils blew me over with their agility, energy and nimble movements!!

 

They spun so fast and in so many degrees and angles I was seeing stars after they were done

 

Don't know how yall do it but, bravo!

 

They have most definitely set the bar as they fluidly contort, perform aerial trapeze acts, silk aerial acts and high-flying acts.

Wish I could've shown you more pictures but my eyes were really concentrating on their insane, rapid movements

 

The cast

 

It was such an amazing 75 minute production, it left us not only starstruck and beyond impressed.

'FREEZE' is one I'd truly recommend.

 

The photos and the experience I've just shared simply cannot do it justice!

If you wanna watch it for yourselves, details are as below:

 

It's often a full-house show, so log-on to www.rwgenting.com or call

for availability and booking to avoid disappointment 

 

And if you wanna indulge in the buffet just like ours, look here :

 

That's all for now. An amazing experience, no doubt.

My housies and I had so much fun at the themeparks and the casino thereafter.

 

'FREEZE' You heard it from me!

Don't miss any of those never-seen-before acts! 🙂

Taking a 'No Sleep' back-to-back spin at Zouk KL and Genting Highlands with the homies!

August 11, 2010 by thejessicat

 

After I left Penang to come back to the city KL, I guess the homies and I missed each other's crazy hangout moments, parties, late night suppers and random pillow talking.

 

SO THEY ALL DECIDED TO MAKE A ROAD TRIP DOWN TO SEEEEE MEEEEEE

and as you already know from this post, we drove up Genting Highlands too for some fun.

 

Minny snapped this piccie of bestie Joyce and I

All of them crashed at my hood for the night

 

 

 

Not wanting to miss out on the KL party scene, they wanted in. I then brought them to where else but Zouk KL? That's my fave haunt on most weekends

 

Us getting ready… I begged Christopher to lemme make him up! 😛
 

 

and bestie Joyce joined the fun with some shimmery lip gloss!

FHL

 

 

We gave him the mirror and ran away. 😛 Needless to say, he cursed my whole house down and disappeared into the bathroom to wash everything off! bwahahhaha.

 


En route to Zouk KL

 

 

 

So we got there and hit the Mainroom and Barsonic. Our poor boys weren't able to enter Phuture as they were a year short of 23 LOL

(actually can one lahhhhh.)

 


 

Caught you red-handed Carter!

Thought you said you didn't smoke? muahahhaahhahahaa

 

 


 

Double Iconography ring by Soak Republic. So pretty right! My fave

My babe Minny and I coincidentally in blue 😀

 

 


When Penangites storm Zouk KL
 

 

Headed back home pretty damn late into the night. Took turns taking showers and couldn't exactly get to sleep after that.

Before we knew it, dawn broke and we packed out bags and hit the road. No sleeeep tonighttttt!

 

After a one hour journey, we arrived Genting Highlands!

 

 

Pretty damn coincidental that all of us were in hoodies!

 

 

 

Back indoors for a while for some lunch. As expected, we got ripped off! How could an average plate of Zhap Fan cost me 12 bucks?? And a normal bowl of Bak Kut Teh costed Joyce and Chris 42 bucks. RAWWWRRRRRR welcome to Genting.

 

My favorite girls in the world!

loves

 

We were talking loosely about the future one fine day and sorta made a pact that we would be each others' bridesmaid on our Big Day. But the question remains, which one of us will end up married first? 😀 😀 Guess only Paul the Octopus knows the answer!

 

Mirror mirror on the wall

Which girl will be first walking down the aisle?
 

 

 

Back outside.. time for the Pirate Ship! No not the lame ass Pirate Train but the Pirate Ship! I could remember riding this years back and got awfully nauseous! Let's just see if i can stomach it again this year!

 

Us waiting for the loooooooooong queue

 

 

by the time we got closer, we saw this signage.

Looks like we're not tall enough 🙁 Woe!

 

 

 

Kidding! We rode it anyway.

 

 

This is bestie Joyce and I
 

BEFORE

 

 


 

DURING!!!

It's a wonder how my camera didn't get flung 100 meters up in the air!

 

 

 

Played more rides and waited for more…

 

I'm a certified BB Addict 🙂

Mine was pimped courtesy of Berry Addictions! Go get yours done if you love your BB too!

 

 

And we finally reached my favorite ride of all time! The Flying Coaster ala Spiderman!

It's my fave because this is the only ride that didn't give me the butt-away-from-seat feeling which I so despise

 

 

because this ride required its patrons to STAND during the rollercoastering

not sit 😀 But we loved it anyway.

 

 

Sadly this wasn't the kinda ride where you can sit over and over again like the rest of the rides. This ride costs 10 bucks each time we enter. and I wonder why! 🙁 Maybe it's privately owned.. bah humbug.

 

 

Walked around catching a breather in the chilly weather

 

A short Vlog I did!

 

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6T60u2_GA1E

 

😀 😀

 

 

okay where was I?

 

Yeah. the compulsory spot to take photos

Don't know why I never fail to do so with each visit to Genting!

 

 

Took a lil stroll around as some of the rides were closed for maintainence – namely the Corkscrew (damn!) and the Solero Shots. So we ended up in Jurassic Park look-a-like thingy and spotted this very STIM bird who was trying to keep his eyes open  :

 

Go sleep lah hou sum lei.

Don't need to entertain us one.

 

 


 

Mushroom land!

 

We kept exploring and arrived at the carnival part of the Outdoor Themepark.
 

You know how there would be fun fairs where simple games can be played to win big fluffy toys?

 

I had my eyes glued to this adorable sea horse!

 

 

Didn't exactly want to give those ring tosses a shot. Come ON! What are the odds your ring gets hooked onto that tiny stick? The probability of your bouncy tennis ball to nestle quietly into the pail 5 meters away from you are extremely slim anyway.

 

BUT!

 

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABQt1RjOxoE

 

IT'S SO FLUFFAAYYE WE'RE GONNA DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

 

 

We wanted it but Tannie tried…. tested…… and gave up LOL. Told you the odds were close to impossible. heh.
 

The one that the fat man with skinny pointy legs and equally pointy nose (sorry can't remember his name) aka stepdad managed to win for the adorable Agnes in the movie Despicable Me was just well…. VIOLENT. haha!

 

 

Saw lotsa people wearing this woolly hat thing too

Likewise, snowboots and winter jackets.

 

 

DOOOOOOD! IT REALLY ISN'T THAAAT COLD IN GENTING HIGHLANDS!

Minny and I even counted how many people were overdressed for winter that afternoon

 


Our Verdict : Malaysians have no where else to "winter dress" in Malaysia
 Genting is plausibly the best excuse to don pretty winter clothing

 

 

 


 

So as much as I would love to purchase this furry hat, I put it down in the end 🙁

But I will come back and buy it before I jet set to UK next year I swear!!!

 

 

*secretly hopes to go in time for winter*

 

 

Another Vlog!

 

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAjpnQBivts

 

😀 😀

 

 


 

Underground at the Rolling Thunder Mine Train

The queue was so long we decided to jump over the ledges and leave midway

 

Night fell and we kept ourselves (and pockets) busy at the Monte Carlo casino all night long! It's really amazing how time actually STOPS when you're in there, really. I had my rounds at Baccarat, French Boule, Roulette, Big & Small, Casino Wars and the rest.

 

Not gonna tell you how much I won (and lost) in total! 😛 Simply because.

 

 

Compulsory shot again

kthxbai! 😀
