Whoah, ast week-end was a blast, seriously...
Went up to Genting, a resort cum casino in the highlands of Malaysia for those of you who don't know, for an outdoor "event". Dance music mostly and a little bit of hip-hop n R n B... Over 15,000 tickets were sold and about 20,000 people turned up... Anyway, if you've been following my posts you would have known this by now so now is the story of my recovery n what i did when i was up there as i'm sure some people must be simply dying to know!
Anyway, the trip up there wasn't too bad... Took me about 1 hr n 1/2+ to pick me cousin up, by me booze n other necessities and get to the base of Genting... The drive up was a panoply of twists turn n hair-pins it was rediculous, "good luck to me on the way down" i thought. When we finally reached the summit n got to me hotel, First World Hotel. Now, I'm not kidding when i say that we should find whichever architect it was who designed this immense monstrosity, and hang the bastard for this grievious rong upon humanity so as to stop his/her madness. Eyesore does not even begin to describe what this building looks like. 3,000+ rooms, largest in the world this hotel. It looks like a prison, but realising their folly after they constructed this, this, behemoth of concrete, they decided to paint it in flowing rainbow stripes! It is the most god-awful building i've ever seen, if it was a dog they shoot it out of compassion! Nothing deserves to look like that....

eeuch!
Anyway, apart from what it looked like, the hotel was pretty much ok, i mean it had a casino n indoor themepark n a whole bunch of restaurants. It even had Starbuck's for crying out loud. It didn't, however, have room-services which i was pretty much counting on to get ice for me booze n the check-in "experience" was somewhat akin to trying to sort out you're banking or something, you had to take a number before you could reach the front desk and there were over 20 counters!
Anyway, we reached there by 2pm or so, checked-in, i got me own room n me cousin was part of the press corps so got her own room au gratis. It was then that i decided it would be a good time to break out the boutbon and get souced prior to the rave. Managed to go through half a bottle before going down for dinner and boy was that an experience. Wondering around some mad-capitalist dream what with all the twinkling lights and opportunities to waste hard earn cash on meaningless games. I felt like i had unknowingly left the planet and ended up on Mars. The alcohol did pretty wel in tempering my mood and kept my head pretty much latched on while walking around the place.
Managed to get my self into the press section of the restaurant for free grub so that was a plus. Lucky for me, i have a few really good mates working as punters so they sorted me out with dinner n even, lo n behold, a VIP pass to the event! I was well sorted! Dinner was standard buffet 'grule n water'-like, edible but in my state it was a wonder i managed to keep it down... By kick-off time we headed down to the outdoor parking lot where the event was beeing held, and so from Mars i walked into Dante's Hell re-invisioned.
Fog litteraly covered the place, I'v been told it was mist, but mist doesn't render visibility down to 5%! What with the loud blaring music, fog, lasers n flashing lights, throngs of people dancing to the beat, i thought,"Hell yeah!"
5 different 'areas' were oferred up to us with a variety of different styles of music n 1 VIP lounge cum chillout area. Drinks were reasonably cheap though it had better have been looking at how much i had to dole out for the room. I met people i hadn't seen in years n it was pretty comforting that they remembered my name even though most of them i had met in passing in my prior years of more rigourous hedonism.
Overall, the trip was way wicked n well worth going. I danced myself silly for close to 10 hours, ten hours! I'm amazed i can still walk. I suppose the my more then merely pickled state did play a big part in my overall ecstaticness. Anyway to cut a long story short, i had a good time...
The trip down was another whole adventure upon itself. I'lll go write it up on it in my next post depending on whether i remember or not, but if you're interested please do comment me on it. Anywa, i got this damn lap-top on my lap and I'm typing in the dark. I would really like to have children after this and i'm sure all this radiation my balls are receiving now can't be good for it in the long run. So you all take care and see you later true-believers, night-night from the UrbanProphet.....
