Update from 14/6 to 19/6

OK, it has been a long time since my last update.
NowI will update what has happened within this duration 14/6 to 19/6, quite detailed though.

14/6
Today was my second day of my F.Maths lesson. Mr Sia said before we would not need to go to school on wednesday if he can teach the remaining concepts within the 2 hours. Aha, it was true leh... A good news for me lor. :p

Then I was told that my family would set off for Genting Highlands today... Woah, another piece of good news. :D I was like 喜出望外 lor.

Wonder how is the OG outing liao? Now people in my OG are celebrating their 17th birthday during the month of June and beginning of July. Happy Birthday to them!

Then in the afternoon, I tried packing some stuff lar. Things like toothbrush and my clothing, I try to do first lor. Then I sent a SMS message to my cousin, to let her take note that we are visiting her family on 17 June (Familiar with this date? My birthday!). Haha, I was very eager about that date lor.

Then, my brother went out doing homework until 7 in the evening. So late leh. Everybody was waiting for him. Ok, that's not the issue now lar.

I check for the traffic situation over the Causeway and the Tuas 2nd Link. It seemed that the jam caused by the workers riding on motorcycles was much lesser at the 2nd Link. On the other hand, the Causeway was jammed too much. We decided to take the 2nd Link route.

It was rather an unusual and all-new experience to actually travel long distance at night. Normally we would do that during daytime. Saw lots of motorcycles queuing up at Singapore customs, most of them I think are the workers. Now the time is 8p.m., these workers must be tired enough after working. Now they still have to be awake for the queuing up and travel back to Malaysia.

After passing the Malaysian customs, we decided to fill up fuel tank and to buy bread at Esso(for consumption at Genting). An interesting note was while Esso was crowded with drivers filling up the tanks, it was rather deserted at the neighbouring Petronas! haha... I couldn't figure out why.

Cars was rather rare at this time, with the motorcycles filling up 2 of the 3 lanes available. It was dangerous for them to ride in the light-less highway.

Ok, our car was speeding all way long until Kuala Lumpur, with 20 ~ 30 KM/H surpassing. Luckily, mata wasn't there to catch speedy vehicles. We had our FIRST meal in car lor... haha, it was a new fresh experience again, with the light turned on.

We reached Genting Highlands at about 1 A.M. with some stops for toll paying and clearing of bladders. When we reached the hotel lobby, others were looking at us lor. I think they were suprised to see people actually arrived at Genting at this hour with tons of luggage and other stuffs. Glad to see that we can check in to our hotel room lor.

The hotel room was small. But that's no problem here. I don't like about the design of the shower room. It was so small. The in-built hanger was inconsiderably built. It should be placed behind the door and not besides-and-lower than the fixed shower head.

Now, when bathing, others cannot be present at the shower room area there... haiz, so sian.

15/6
OK, after a short SLEEP, I woke up at about past 9 in the morning. Ok, I wasn't eager about the theme park lar. So I took my time washing up etc. We played in the indoor theme park. I am getting bored with outdoor theme park, hope they will do something about it lar.

There was not much of people lar... So we got our ride rather instant. The most exciting is the roller coaster lor - rode it the most number of times. Meet with aunt for dinner. But at the end of day, I got serious headache and had to rest early, the ruins of the day.

16/6
Enough of Genting. My family decided to make a trip to Kuala Lumpur as we haven't go there for a long, long time. The destination was Petronas Twin Tower. Saw lots of caucasians there lor, not sure whether they are on business trip to Malaysia or they are the residents of Kuala Lumpur. But anyway, I saw transsexuals at one of the shops in KLCC here. My comment was, how ugly they was... It was not nice lor and the make up just do not match them.

Ok, the only comment about KLCC was the parking was expensive. I think KLCC's parking is more expensive than some malls in Singapore. For about four hours you are charged for RM9.50 is expensive.

Had 煮炒 for dinner. It was declicious but sadly, I didn't eat much.

17/6
The most anticipated day came! haha... Woke up the earliest lor... After packing up, we checked out the hotel. The time was about 11.45 A.M. lar. There were crowds of people queuing up to check in. Business must be very good lor. :p

We took the Batang Kali - Bidor route to my cousin's house in Perak (the furthest point from Singapore during this trip). The journey took slighly more than 2 hours with lots of sceneries to enjoy.

My aunt was anxious to know where we are leh. She called us for our whereabouts one hour before lor... This is the advantage of technology, allowing us to stay in contact.

Afternoon time was rather relax. I watched VCD, not those 偶像剧 or those 出名电影, but a meaningful Japanese animate. It brings out the man's doing that had resulted in a consequence. (这整系列每个故事都有它背后的信息)In this episode, it illustrate about people throwing rubbish into river and present in a fiction story manner. Rather interesting though. I thought of borrowing it over and copy. heh heh.. :)

Ok... my cousin wanted to introduce her 4 new friends to me. I think she used the 'doing homework' plot to set me up lor. They weren't doing their homework! They are coming over to see me and help me celebrate my birthday lor. Guess they were embarrassed 吧.

After much asking and 拉拉扯扯, finally they got into the house. But it was still 冷场 leh... haha... Everybody was so 不好意思,don't know what to say then good. HAHA... think of it now, I still find it funny!~

After SGM meeting, they helped me celebrate my birthday wor! I was so touched leh... I didn't celebrate my birthday at place so far away from my home and furthermore with new friends... Earlier, my cousin even went to Teluk Intan (a 30-min drive from here) to buy cake. It was extraordinary experience lor.... I won't forget it de... 谢谢你们!

Ok, the main event - chatting at mamak stall!

We walked to a mamak stall just outside on the street. I ordered TEH, nice lor... Then we started chatting about anything under the sun. haha... the 4 friends, 益冰, 雪玲, 绣芝 and 颖芬 started 爆料 on my cousin... woo... gossips... We chatted quite happily lar... It was an exchange between people from both places. haha :D

From 10 plus, we chatted until 1 A.M. ... was rather long lar. But still, I find it not enough leh. hehe...

Those girls were courageous enough, they can ride motorcycles home on their own at those time lor...

18/6
Woke up early today. Yesterday night was bitten by those undisrable insects.
Watched another meaningful animate (this time on cats) before having breakfast.
Set off to Perak Sungkai 温泉 in the afternoon, it was a hot day. I think it was wrong time to visit there lar since it makes us so hot.

Creatures which wanted to cross the 'hot' river can't escape from it. They will just be scalded to death (烫熟). However, it is good to 泡 in those warm water lar.

Leave the place at 5.15P.M. for Seremban... The day just passed like that lor.

19/6
Set off to Johor in the morning from Seremban. The car was full loaded lor.
Interesting to note is, our car bumped onto some bees and some sticky white or yellow stuff?? just stick on the windscreen. First time we encounter such incident leh...

Played Madacasgar on XBOX. I found the animated animals very funny lor. haha... couldn't stop laughing!

Then celebrate father's day at Senai and we set home from there at about 9.45P.M.

Home Sweet Home at 11.30 P.M. Tired!

Update from 1/6 to 5/6

Hi! I just came back from Malaysia and BBQ at ECP. Now just giving an update on it~

1/6 Set off from home at about 1 P.M. Reached my destination - Seremban, at evening... The food there was delicious, because it is 露天档口.

2/6 Went to Ulu Bendul Recreational Park to catch prawns... haha... it was a wonderful experience! Lots of prawns of different sizes were caught. Water there was cooling, as to guard off the extreme hot weather.

3/6 Went to Genting Highlands for the whole day. Only played bumper car for 3 times only.. 都是它的错!还我那么衰,连续两次拿到烂车~~ Grrr.... no comment for the rest of the day liao...

4/6 1 P.M. came back to Singapore.

5/6 Woke up very early - about 8 in the morning. IT WAS VERY EARLY THEN... No choice, who asked them to set the time for gathering at 9.30?

Then while I was waiting my bus to come, I saw Calvin. We 打招呼 to each other, he was going to the bus stop at the opposite side. Think he was going to church.

I was the first one to arrive at JE MRT... haha, it was unusual for me to do that... but others were late mah.

Then we met up with James, Yee Loong and Yuan Sheng at BURGER KING. They were having breakfast. Then after that, we went to GIANT to purchase items for BBQ. I only had one complaint, i.e. drinks were not enough, given the hot weather. Sharon came to look for us.

We took two taxis to ECP... Luckily I took the cheaper fare one, because I did not bring so much money leh...

Huaian wanted to play pool... So he, Yee Loong and Yuan Sheng booked one table lor. For the rest of us, we were not enthusiatic about it lar. We played arcade, but the arcade was full of urine smell... YYEEERRRR~ 臭味熏天

Then we sian liao, we practised on pool lar... we took those balls to play lor... It was worth mentioning that James was SUPER DUPER accurate at getting the ball rolling in... For me ar, I was too pro liao lar... I shot the ball that the ball jumped off the table! 强者就是这样!

We rented bicycles to get the PIT 45, where Nancy and Joel were waiting for us. Huaian, Nancy, Yin Boon and me went to beach for our time, we even climbed up the rocks hehe...

Then the start of BBQ.

大伙儿 cycled towards Bedok.. They wanted to get to the second 'jetty'. But they were unsuccessful. By the time they were back, it was time to return the bicycles liao.. Wonder why they took such a long time, but still cannot get there??? I did not go with them... I stayed at the pit to help with huaian and nancy BBQ-ing. haha, i so 乖. By this time, Joel and Meng How has gone home.

Haha, we broke our record le... by flying kite at night... New and refreshing experience 喔...

heheh, here came the last part of the outing le... We played the password game 终极密码. Whoever gets it must eat the food...

On our way home, we had lots of fun and laughter leh... haha... James, Yuan Sheng, Sharon and Yin Boon took a cab home, while Huaian, Nancy, Yee Loong and me took 16 to Bedok Interchange. From there, Yee Loong took bus and the rest of us took MRT.

I found that the more we have these kind of outing, we are more bonded even after our o-level... we are considered to be 永不分离 le... I hope we can keep in touch in this way.....
