Random: After all, I used this sketch effect, and someone's pinching my ear.Belatedly, I was off to our neighbouring country, Malaysia. It was an eleventh hour decision, to go or not to go. If I stayed, I were to, seemingly, stay at home and having hopes of touching my assignments, which was a fat one. If I went, I were to miss some vital meetings but on a lighter note, I wouldn't waste this precious last week of the holidays. Touring around, getting myself pumped up overseas as school's starting, I CAN'T WAIT! Well, I DON'T wanna wait, I hope that the time freezes now but daily activities still go on, get what I mean? That could never happen, only in a 3 dimensional world that I discovered in the Artemis Fowl series. Yup, I read it all through the trip. I find it quite not-another-wasting-time kinda thing. Anyways, I left all the adrenaline of the last week of school here back home and escaped to a wonderous, mystic, dazzling island named Malaysia.
So we went, and yea, I brought my assignments. Bringing it there's a good feeling, but doing it, is a feeling that could drench you with burden beyond words. Anyways, upon reaching there, picked up my sis from her hostel and settled at home at Bukit Antarabangsa, Ampang.
The next day was the guts-challenging one. Went to Port Dickson's ostrich farm. We fed goat, lamb(same thing?) and you guess it, ostrich. I got sort of a phobia of ostriches, Ostrichobia. And watching ostriches dashing and using their mighty kick on animal planet doesn't help. So, I kinda get rid of this anxiety after feeding and riding on the ostrich. Yup, quite a feat there. Besides that, holding of crocodile, riding the horse, standing on ostrich eggs(each can hold up to 120kg!), monkey show, rabbits. After animal-ing(?), we went to Port Dickson's Avillium. The sight of it, the white sandy beach, blue sky were splendid. And the sand were oh so fine. The breeze just added to the calmness. But the downside was that the sea was experiencing low tide hence, we have to go further in to get to the water. But all in all, I felt like a Baywatch star there, haha.
After which, we went to PutraJaya and feast our eyes to the spectacular urban scenary of this place. The roads, bridges, lamposts was at their finest. And not to forget, PutraJaya Mosque. That's one of the magnificent, beautiful mosque I've been to. In the prayer's hall, while praying, you could feel the breeze from the near sea that's surrounding the mosque. Nice. And the whole place/city was equipped with surround sound system that could transmit the messages from the mosque.
Okay... so, the day to come, went to Shah Alam to visit my aunty and cousins. They had this Osim's ISqueeze which was oh so relaxing and gooood. Anyways, visited them and in the midst of the chat, my aunt came up with this topic of bringing me to Arab at the end of the year for 6 weeks to accompany my cousin on his study trip to improve his Arab. It's quite cool and interesting to know that there's actually o lvls Arab. Soo, after which, we went to the illustrious Masjid Negeri which was featured daily on TV3 I think. A sight of it, before my eyes, was a splendid one. Praying there was another great feeling by itself. I realized that Malaysia has lots of big beautiful mosque around and it makes Singapore's look like miniature surau. Oh yes, and you'll never miss a prayer as there's surau everywhere. :)
Ohhh sorry, it was the other way round. I went to the mosque before I went to my aunt's home. Coz I remembered following my parents to this meeting at night after departing from their house. And yea, I learned that to make it big in MY in terms of business, the quailty of the proposal does not take priority but your relations with the boss takes the top priority. Even if your proposal suck big time, but you share the same family as the boss, then, you're lucky. But if otherwise, it solely depends on the proposal and the boss' interest on the product. Cool huh
Besides that, there's some interesting news that I would like to share. Good and not so good. A good one is that there's this Malayisan malay 16-year-old girl who scored 16 A1s for her SPR or STM(sounds so wrong) or something like that which is equivalent to O Levels. 16's the maximum for them i guess. Omg, that's scary, in a right way that is. The not so good news is that there's this billionaire who killed/murdered his girlfriend as not to let his wife know about them. So what's the catch? He hired proffesional policemen/investigators like those in FBI to the killing and after which, the climax was that they blew up her coarpse. Okay, that's all.
Anyways, currently, I'm looking through the pictures to learn what did I do there coz apparently STM strikes again and I need the aid of the pictures. Unfornutately I don't get to remember those littles things where I go like "Okay, I have to post this up." So yea, bear with me.
Okay, back, the upcoming day was spent shopping. I don't mind shopping but sometimes my head can't stick to the aimed item to be bought due to the temptations as I walked along. Despite that, I got to buy a nice watch and some other accesories. Oh ya, and DVD-s. Power
Okay lah, that is all. I'll leave with pictures soon and right after, I'm back to assignments and before you know it, school started, I can't wait!
