New Year's Day

Happy New Year! It was the morning of the new year and the sun was bright even through the misty weather in Genting. The sight of the bear under the light gave me a sensation of serenity soothing through my restless mind. Didn't do much on the day since I just spent my whole time waiting for postponed fireworks which was scheduled at 8pm in the evening. Wandered around the whole place for hours 

The Christmas decorations were still up and they're all made from recycled materials. Snowmen, Christmas trees, reindeer and Santa Claus made of recycled plastic bottles.

Snapped a few photos of a miniature scaled version of the highlands as well.

The weather wasn't very good on New Year's Day either. The mist was still quite thick where at first I could be able to see a small portion of the outdoor theme park in the morning. Gradually the mist became thicker as time passed by ...... 

And eventually the wind picked up and if you noticed the last photo, the top of the mist pretty much started covering up everything and the last thing I could see after an hour was the blue roof at the bottom of the photo. It started to rain for a few hours in the afternoon and I spent around two hours from 5pm to 7pm plus outside the bakery just staring at the change of the weather while brainstorming for some other stuff. The rain stopped at around 6pm.

The mist cleared up and I could actually see more than 100m away. The ironic part was that after half an hour, the wind picked up again and the mist came back thicker than ever ........ Once it was getting darker .... from the same position the condition of the mist became ..........

Yea ... this was from the exact same position. I kind of lost hope for the fireworks so I just decided to drive down. Less than a quarter way down, I noticed that the mist wasn't even covering any part of the road. Ironic isn't it? Took a few photos of the scenery along the way.

Would probably have taken better photos if I didn't forget to bring my camera stand up together. Oh well. Halfway down and Alan called me to come back up again because the mist cleared .... I took a U turn and the rest was just ...  (#@&#!*@&#!!@##$@*^&#*@$) Good thing was that I managed to get back in time but didn't have the time to run straight to the outdoor theme park. Fortunately I still had a good view of the display from the top of the parking lot either way =)

HAPPY NEW YEAR PEOPLE! Hope you guys have a great year ahead. 

ps: Thanks for all the meals and help during the past month Audrey!. I really appreciate it.
