Bleh Bleh

Still sick.
Jason is starting to feel better after two visits to the doc and I am on my last day of antibiotics but my cough is getting worse. But being sick did not stop us from going out and sticking to our plans. Just got back from Genting Highlands. Big BIG mistake going up there on a Sunday. It was CROWDED. Total mad house. There was a line of atleast 500 people ahead of us standing in line for the cable car to take us up. The ride up was 3.4km.
Then, trying to walk through throngs of people from the skyway station to the hotel was another mad house. But the craziest part was having to wait three hours to check-in to our hotel. We had to stand in line to take a number, then having to wait for our number to be called in order to get our room key. Our number was 845. The current number being attended to at that time was 569. My uncle and aunt who had arrived 2 hours ahead of us was only just now getting their number called. It was ridiculous. So we left our bags in their room and walked to the Arena of Stars to watch the World Lion Dance championship. The US team won 3rd place. Pretty impressive.
When we walked back to our hotel about 3 hours later, they were attending to number 1035. So we missed our turn which was totally fine because we just have to walk up to a counter assigned for people like us who had missed their number and we got our keys.
Skipped dinner and all we wanted to do was crash.
Next morning, we went down to the casino. Stood in line to apply for a slot card, and when it was our turn, we were told we needed to fill up some membership form and was told to go back and stand in line again. How stupid is that.
Anyways, I lost RM14 and Jason won RM13.60.

I might post some pics later. Just realized that we did not take enough photos especially of the wedding because Jason and I were too busy with our assigned tasks.

This has been the most stressful vacation ever. I'll have to put myself in hibernate mode for the next couple of weeks.
