Genting Trip and Happy New Year 2008

Today is the last day for the year 2007. It brings many happy memories for me in terms of making money and as well as some tragic news like the unlikely assasination of Benazir Bhutto on 27th Dec. She died a martyr. She was full of confidence and victory in the election just minutes before her death by a suicide bomber in Rawalpindi. There is just no explanation to all these terrorists acts.

Also today, I just came back from RHB Bank in Jalan Teh Ewe Lim, near my house. I managed to cash out RM367.59 from my Google Adsense via Western Union for the first time after one and a half years. The bank exchange rate was 3.30 today in RHB. And this month alone, I watched a few movies too like Alvin and the Chipmunks, National Treasure and Golden Compass. As I have promised in my previous post, here are the many photos taken in Genting Highlands during my trip from 21st to 23rd of December.


Genting's very own Statue of Liberty in First World Plaza.

Genting Walk in brightly lit neon lights.


Many decorations and items for sale in Genting Highlands.


Eiffel Tower in Genting Highlands. This was taken in First World Plaza, the happening place to be in Genting where most attractions and fun rides are abound everywhere.


Christmas decorations and water fountain outside Genting Hotel.


Chrysanthemum flowers grow abundantly outside Genting Hotel.


First World hotel, the largest hotel in the world with 6118 rooms. This was where we stayed.


Escalator decorated with pots of geniune poinsettias and christmas trees.


The two elephants remind me of my recent trip to Bangkok and Pattaya. They are part of the interior decoration of Genting Hotel where we roamed about.


This is one of the entrance to a casino. We were not allowed to go in as I was holding a camera in my hand. Since we don't gamble, we did not attempt to go in again and instead enjoyed the cool mountain air in our room.


Christmas House.

Happy New Year 2008 to all and Good Bye 2007. Let's hope 2008 will be another year full of excitement, enjoyment, food, travels and making more money.
