whoo hoo… it’s the hols!!!
Thursday, November 30th, 2006wakaka… am at home now. (even though it means a temporary separation frm some friends)
haven been blogging for a while, not quite sure wer to start, cz it’s been a full week stuffd wit fun and joy! ahaha
for starters, v finally hit georgetown on foot. even though oni managed to crash into 2 art galleries (wer the people manning them wer rilly chatty- actually, TOO chatty) and a coupla old but glorious chinese places, but v stil had fun. tink v kinda lookd like a bunch of looney tourists touring around georgetown following two maps (one a real map, the other a real life map who’s afraid of the sun, hehe). so like any other lunatic tourists, v took tons of pics. seriously. and makan makan makan …
the nx day, LANGKAWI! was late, so ‘mom’ n friend drove us there, then they detoured and another fren drove them to the jetty. rilly exciting, cz we wer like the laz of all to board the ferry. and we got the whole upper level to ourselves! (cz there wer 12 of us…)
stopped by pulau payar, cool… promise will go there one fine day. the water’s thronged with weird colourful fishes… and it’s rilly rilly rilly clear! then finally we hit langkawi. got 3 cars (two protons and a wira) but… all of them wer faulty (even bfor we left the jetty! haihz).
but the beautiful accomodation made up for it. the washrooms r so cool dat they wer tempted to havin mass baths (cz it was so nice and huge). jz kidding. neway, we actually had photo ops in the bathroom. so… dat sums it all huh?
langkawi’s beautiful. especially wen u go on a trip wit 13 sot sot people. actually, it’s 12 pretty gals and one dinosaur. (dinosaur= a rilly aged uncle). wen u hav gals squeezing in a beauty pageant photo op in a speed boat during island hopping (tink dat photo op kinda keksi the boat uncle), an inofficial who-buys-the-most-chocs contest dat went on throughout our trip, plus an attempt to smuggle at least 4 dozens of beers not to mention god noes how many bottles of chivas and d.o.m between us out of langkawi, il say dat the trip was rilly great. superb. wut was rilly worthwhile was dat i actually witnessed broken relationships mend during the trip. dat actually meant a lot…
and for the grand finale, we actually missed the ferry bek to penang, and watchd it depart frm the jetty. (actually, we got to the wrong jetty, and then wen we rushed to the nx jetty, the ferry had already left). so erm… they radioed the ferry and it actually made a u-turn for us. wit all the gwei-los and locals staring at us frm the sun deck. so paiseh!!! wut to do? muka tebal a bit, and we headd right to the back of the ferry. tak habis habis lagi, v immediately called for a photo op again in the ferry- right in front of this arabian couple. imagine wen ur hapi hapi and all lovey dovey together, den suddenly 12 crazy (and ridiculously late) noisy boisterous pretty gals cram around u. whoa… i tink they actually plotted to murder us dat evening… i wud, if i wer them. hehe…
so… ‘mom’ arranged to hav sum rilly kind friends to pick us up frm the jetty dat nite wen we reached penang. thank god for her, cz she was the ka-jie who planned and sorted everything out for us during the trip. so dat we had a problem free trip. and dinosaur. who lookd out for me =)
so… here i am … bek frm shopping all round langkawi, penang and ipoh. bek in kl finally. all broke. frm all the shoppings. thank goodness the sales are not here yet. else it wud b rilly kesian to be able to jz watch people contributing to the economy. it’s the buying dat’s fun. wakaka…
