Since December has set in, I have been in a festive mood. I am reminiscing the past Christmas and waiting for the coming one. Being averse to winters, I am also missing my sunny vacation days. As I had professed my love for Malaysia many times here and here, I would like to share one more enjoyable day of my incredible vacation.

Genting Highlands is a hill resort which is dominated by hotels and theme parks. Its an entertainment destination which is buzzing with life all year long. There are casinos, malls, restaurants, and to top it all, there is a huge Indoor Theme Park and an Outdoor Theme Park!! This place also has the world’s largest hotel.. Hotel First World which has more than 6000 rooms and where we had a lovely stay!!!

Genting Highlands being a hill resort remains cool and pleasant all year long. But what makes matters worse is that it remains cloudy and foggy for most of the year making photography difficult. It rains every now and then causing most of the rides in the outdoor park to shut down. When we reached, it was raining heavily. I was very upset and we spent the evening in the Indoor Theme Park. But to our good luck, the next morning , not only the rain stopped but it was a clear sunny sky….a thing very unlikely of this place!! Though the sun played peek a boo with the clouds during the entire day, I was fortunate to have enough light for taking photographs!!

The whole day was spent in thrilling rides and beautiful photo ops amidst the bustling happy crowd. The place was cheerfully noisy till 7 in the evening when the rides closed!! Its an uhhmazing place for grown ups and kids alike; there is something exciting for every age group!! In a nut shell, it is perfect for a family outing and I am so glad that my parents took me there!!

One more month has passed by. And the last one of this year is left. Soon 2013 is going to be history!! This year has been so eventful for me. I have loved every moment of it inspite of the mild ups and downs. But one cannot cling to something good forever, one has to take chances and embrace the unknown!! Thats what life is about!!
As December comes knocking, I reminisce the sweet memories attached to this month. The time of christmas and after meeting my hubby...The All India Orthopaedic Conference ( a multi day fest) and the uncertainties of the coming year, I have always looked forward to this month. The main downside of December according to me is the blood freezing temperature which I loathe!!
Three years back ie in 2010...God its been more than three years that I have met my hubby!! I had big plans for christmas. I was doing my medical internship and so was posted even on this holiday. In the evening I and my then fiance were supposed to attend the Disney extravaganza. However, whenever I and my fiance had plans, it had ended up in disaster as I have said here.
My parents had never approved of roaming around in late evening before marriage and that day was ultimate!! When it was time to leave, the roads were so much jammed with traffic, we were unable to budge even a single inch for three hours!! It was about 10 at night when we finally reached home. I got a terrible thrashing from my parents :D and we vouched always to use the metro on public holidays!!
Not alls well that ends well!! Because even though my first christmas with my fiance was an ultimate disaster, the Disney memories were so beautiful that I still cherish them and am sharing with you all now!!

love Mickey and Minnie!!

My pictures may seem quite different and I too may not be recognizable conventionally as I was three years younger and far less mature :D Moreover, this evening was after a gruelling day in the hospital!! :D
