Fun at its Peak!

My first semester finally over, what to do?? Celebrate of course... but when pocket runs empty and you don't have passport with you what do you do?? Go to the most affordable theme park in Malaysia - Genting Highlands. Recently they convert the name to Resort World - Genting. Yes, it's under the same management as Resort World - Sentosa. Well, if you're a Malaysian, 99% you have been there before and 60% I'm sure you been there more than once. If you're not gambling up there, it's actually cost quite cheap. From Penang to Genting the cost of a bus is roughly RM 70 return tickets and the theme parks entry fee is around RM51 off peak season. Though food there is quite expensive however I may suggest go for the steamboat or the international buffet which cost around RM50 and guarantee stomach satisfactory.

What I want to say in this post is definitely not to tell you about my experience there. You either had experience it yourself or you have heard it from others. If you haven't been there, you would probably wanna try it. Anyway, since most of us have been to this theme park, I would like to tell you other theme parks in the world. There are so many theme parks which one to choose from?? Choose the weirdest one of course... Here are 10 of them:

1) Ferrari World, Abu Dhabi, UA


Open recently, the first Ferrari Theme Park will also be the largest indoor theme park in the world with more than 2 million square feet. What's nice to see there? Sit the world fastest roller coaster at the speed around 200km/hr (56m/s) and the largest Ferrari logo.

2) Love Land, Cheju Island, South Korea


Warning: the next few pictures may contain explicit contents















Another reason for you to visit South Korea despite the advertisement we saw on TV all the time, strangely they left this theme park out. Or maybe our Malaysian Film Industry block it. Why? Because it's a sex-themed site. Known locally as the "Honeymoon Island", this park features all manner of porn-y memorabilia and art. To your surprise, this park was originally created as an art exhibit for students of Seoul's Hongik University. Oh my gawd!!!

3) BonBon-Land, Denmark

Though this is a park made of confectionary, however the object and rides they created are somewhat weird. One example of the ride - The Horse Dropping and Hundeprutterutchebane. These roller coasters ride takes you to a journey around large mounds of dog poo, while speakers in the roller coaster plays the sound of a fart non-stop.

4) Diggerland, England




The English just loves constructers - remember Bob the Builder? Yeah, he's originate from there and so is Diggerland. Well, if you think this is nothing, I can assure you that the British are obsessed with construction equipment, there are not 1 or 2 Diggerland in England but FOUR! Crazy? Yeah, I thought so...

5) Išgyvenimo Drama, Lithuania


If you like communism and has US$220 in your pocket, then this is your place to be. For two-and-a half hour you will be able to go back to 1984-era. Experiences include watching TV programs from 1984, wearing gas masks, learning the Soviet anthem under duress and undergo a concentration-camp-style interrogation and medical check up.

6) Dickens World (aka Crime Theme Park),Chatham Dockyard, Kent, United Kingdom






Open in 2007, this park takes you back to 19th century where there is much crime happening during the Industrial Revolution ala Charles Dickens potrayals.

7) Suoi Tien Park, Vietnam








A buddhist-themed amusement park. This place features a Heaven Palace, the Park's vision of people undergo the stages of hell afters years of gambling, adultery and drugs in the real life. You can even ride air bike which suspended over a crocodile farm. Cool??

8) Harmonyland (Hello Kitty Theme Park), Japan








Need I say more?? Recently in Penang there's also a Hello Kitty shop open in a brand new mall called 1st avenue.

9)Nintendo Amusement Park, New York, US


A place where you can actually dress up as Mario and play a non-virtual game of the series itself.

10) Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Universal Studios Orlando, Florida, US







Also open recently, a place where the hardcore fans of Harry Potter can experience Hogwarts, dragons and even flight of the Hipogriff (Don't know whats that? Read more books!)

Thats all for this post, hope you enjoy the pictures...

Aluba

Image
For some of you not living in Asia, you might not know this but Aluba is a famous 'offering' one MAN has to 'deal' with. This normally occurs to male high school students in Asia and not recommend to perform on a female. Origins of the name came from Japan, other parts of Asia called it differently like Aruba in Taiwan and Happy Corner in Hong Kong. I'm surprised that they even has a wiki page for this (if you can read mandarin) Here comes the definition: Aluba is a student prank where you need to gather at least 4 person on pounce on a particular victim. Grab hold of his arms and legs. Spread his legs wide and ramp his groin against something thin, hard, rod-like and able to take a beating of the groin like a lamp post, a supporting cylinder wall or even the edge of a door. Repeat the 'ramping' process until all of you (except the victim) are satisfied. Sometimes the offering does not ends here, you may offer the victim to your "Holy" ro

So High vs. Sohai

Yes! First test 1 paper is over and inspirations starts flowing in again. After having read one of my good friends blog post. I realised that Malaysia and Singapore have many differences as well. In Singapore, you're not given a chance to speak your own preferred language like Hokkien. However, in Malaysia, it is not that I have no one to speak Hokkien dialect to but the thing is when you go Kuantan, most of the Chinese there speaks Cantonese and this became very difficult for me and my friend to order our food. We sounded weird...well... mostly not me (Thank you TVB drama) with our Hokkien mix English mix Cantonese words that came out from my mouth. From there, I have decided to put my best effort to learn how to speak fluent Cantonese in my 4 years in UMP. So, why the title gotta do with this. Well, first of all, my new friend here always annoy me with these words "I'm so high"... Ya, "geli" and annoying but then again it really make me reflect upon what i

Welcome to the Cashless Society (Malaysia Edition)

Image
The place was crowded. You were standing quietly, hands tugged into your straight cut jeans eyes locked on the wide boards over the top of the shelf. There are 2 persons standing in front of you - both larger than you. The first man at the front has been staring at that same wide board for some time now before he started speaking. Your hands began to sweat as you never done this before. You convinced yourself that you are not some hipsters that just got to have overpriced coffee and the only thing stands between you and that green maiden logo was the aroma of the coffee that draw you into the queue. Soon, it is your turn to order, you successfully blurt out a bunch of gibberish words that hipster made cool before giving your name to the cashier in front of you (which most of the time they are going to misspelled it). As you wait for the cashier to key in the last few details of your order, you noticed a small shelf in the place of cardholders at the front left of the cashier's tab
