HAPPY BIRTHDAY JJONG! :D
okay i shall blog about my malaysia trip now! :)
we took the train at 4am on saturday to malaysia. very early right? i wasn't too tired though. hurhur. i was excited! :P we took a really long train ride, and then we took at taxi to my aunt's place. she lives at the countryside. when we reached there, we were welcomed by her 3 adorable dogs! here they are, posing for me haha!




oh, and i want to thank cheyanne and theresa for overcoming my fear of dogs. seriously, if i don't have theresa as my friend, then i wouldn't have met cheyanne. if i didn't meet cheyanne, then i wouldn't be immune to her licks and i wouldn't have overcome my fear with dogs! haha thank you! :)
also, my aunt reared chickens. not many la. but i saw a few chicks, following their mum everywhere! so adorable! oh, and i feel like a paparazzi when i take pictures of the chickens because they run away when they see humans. which makes the photographing process a little tiring. hurhur.

see see i took this through a window! i have to take pictures while not being seen. lol. anyway, the hardest part was taking pictures of the chicks, because they follow the hen, who runs when she sees me, so even if i increase my speed of walking they will just do the same. but if i stand far away, the pictures taken are very blur. so it's all very frustrating. thus, i use my brains and i thought of a clever idea. i told my dad to make himself obvious to the chickens so they will run away from him, then i wait in the opposite direction with my camera. when the chickens run away from my dad they are actually walking in my direction! hahaha so i managed to take pictures of the adorable chicks. yay im happy! ^^


time passes really slowly when i was at my aunt's house. i think it's because there is no internet, and although there is tv, i couldn't understand a word because it was in malay. the only channel i can watch is this channel that is similar to okto. because the person speaks english. anyway, so we watched dvds instead. hong kong drama! after that my cousin and her husband came for dinner. they brought with them their adorable, fluffly dog! which i forgot to take a photo of. :(
after dinner my cousin's husband drove us around in his car. he rolled the windows down, so it was really windy and refreshing. we drove around the village and saw kids riding motorbikes (yeah, exciting huh? i would so not dare to ride a motorbike.) and buildings built to collect bird nests. on the car, i thought about whether i can actually survive in the countryside. although it is true that i thought of moving to the countryside in the future and away from city life, i realised i can't. i don't think i can take it.
first thing, i feel unsafe. people around look like ah bengs lol. also, if im seriously sick or anything how am i suppose to endure the long ride to the hospital, which is, i don't know where? by the time i reach the hospital i would have been dead. second thing, im bored there. citing one example. at night me and my bro continued watching the hong kong drama. after watching quite many episodes, i was feeling a little tired and i thought, it's probably 10 plus? my bro told me, "it's not even 9 yet." what? the point i am trying to make here is that time passes really slowly there. i don't really know why, i think it's just that there is nothing to do. third thing, if i really do live there, i have to worry about money because jobs there obviously do not pay much. so..these are the conclusions i derived while i was there.
the next day, we went to sao mu, which was the whole point of my family going over to malaysia. oh, my uncle drove really fast. it was like, 90km/hr. scary. of course we reached our destination in a really short period of time. after we sao mu and everything was over, we ate a quick lunch and took a taxi back to johor bahru, where we took a bus back to singapore. this whole process is really tiring. please don't try to take a taxi for such a long journey! it's really hot and stuffy in the taxi.
so im back in singapore, and on mon it was the start of a new week and im back to work again! getting a bit restless. wished des was there to entertain me. haha! nevermind la. fighting! :)
