I'm back!!!

I can hear y'all cheering already.

Malaysia was fun. KL is a shopping paradise - Sungai Wang's da bomb cos I bought many tops and nail polish at dirt cheap prices - compared to Singapore where everything is so expensive. We spent a whole day shopping, us four girls. Times Square is for the rich and famous, kinda wasted time there. Didn't get to shop at the new Pavilion because we were blown away by Sungai Wang. Plus the Pavilion's another high-end mall anyway. The only drawback was the no trying rule in some shops, so I could've bought a lot more then I did. Their loss.

Sunway Lagoon is fun. Much better than Singapore's pathetic Escape theme park. And I finally tried a 360 degree viking ride. It's not very scary though, because they take away the free-fall part and the view is all that scares you. So, no more butterflies. The water part of the theme park was the best, minus the queuing up and climbing up the countless stairs to get to the top. However, not very scary either. We went on the flume ride at least 10 times. FYI, flume rides are the ones that bring you all the way to the top and free falls down with a huge splash. And they are my favourite. Normally I volunteer to sit in front because that's the scariest seat - or so you think. After the 5th time or so, we changed seats so that all could experience the different thrills, I discovered the beauty of ignorance and realised that the last seat is the best cos you get the most butterflies!!!! Plus, you don't have to strain your arm muscles so much because there's no one sitting behind you to flatten.

Still, all the rides didn't scare me - and I'm not boasting of the huge guts I have - because Australia's are way scarier. So I'm all trained up. :)

Enough about rides.

Returning to Penang threw Val and me into a slumber mode. Cos the cousins all had a week of school before the holidays kicked in. We watched movies after movies on HBO, Cinemax and StarMovies, played with ChoCho, disturbed Kakak, ate, slept, ate, slept.

THEN, Blackjacked with punishments (pumping, sit ups, "tiaking" fingers, drinking water - whatever we could think of basically), mahjong, more movies (horror, gore, violence and mind-bogglers).

Of course shopping, but since we're in Penang now, and the voting results just came out with the opposition as victors, it meant no going to town centres because the malays would beat us up. And it also meant no public transport cos it is not safe (unlike KL? lol). So we had to wait for grownups to drive us.

BUT, more shopping! More clothes, bangles, nail polish. And the movie tickets are soooo cheap. 7 ringgit okay. And the snack! We bought so much (2 popcorn combos, 4 1901 hotdogs, 1 cupcorn) and it amounted to only 48 ringgit.

I'm almost convinced to buy a house there (The terraces are beautiful, beside the sea somemore!) and work here. This way, I can shop non stop!

Right, that sums up my two wonderful weeks. I'm missing the cousins already.

I realise how confusing this post is. hahahahaha. OH! I got straight A's and a Z for the very first time. my GPA upped to 3.48, not by a lot, but enough to put a smile on my face. Weeeeeeeeeeehoooooo.

Bye.
