It's time for a long entry :)
Tuesday
Thank goodness I met Wen Fang on the bus. It was a wasted trip made to NBS early in the morning though cuz it was, like I said, wasted. Only thing I got was 5 mosquito bites while waiting for shuttle bus. So I headed to the pool to swim since I had time. It's frustrating :( I can't swim fast!
Home time was short after which I went to meet mj and hm at pp mrt. Apparently my dearest roomie was so late tt I spent 20mins playing many rounds of Mastermind with mj at the control station! I used to hate tt game when I was young cuz pited against bro how to win. I think I've grown smarter wahaha.
So it was a sprint home and back to the mrt to NEL down to DhobyGhaut to meet leewei for Gelare! Yummy yummy yummy. And then a sprint back to PP mrt where dad sent us over to his house, bro did free manual labour, and we shopped at Thomson plaza NTUC and I sat on a horse.
We were left alone in the house to welcome Dolphine (my 10 year-old cousin) at 10+ after which she refused to sleep, ate alot of marshmallow chocolates, and the lights-out at 12am only lasted till 1am where we all woke up. And subsequently fell asleep only after that girl stopped tossing n turning at 2am+?
Wednesday
Woken up at 5.45am! Unearthly. Crossed the causeway only at about 8am. We went to the new one. Isit 'ten millionth' visitor or 'tenth million' visitor? Many tolls, and zooming on highways. I drove for about 2hrs+ of the way! Quite proud of myself, a 4-month-old driver hitting the roads of malaysia! But it was freaky, especially when drove by this crazy smoking humongous lorry which was like weaving left and right. Damn scary. And when we met all the burst tires on the road! First time, I didn't know what was that, and almost banged, if not for dad screaming at me to slow down and holding the wheel. 140km/hr! Fun though :)
We ate lunch at Ayer Keroh or something. I ate this thing which was like mee rebus. But the taste of the sauce was a mix of mee rebus mee siam and laksa. HAhha. By the time we reached KL and the place of dad's fren's condo which we were staying in it was almost 1+. Since maps were useless, a nice couple actually showed us the whole way there by driving all the way there. We were assumed to be VIPs. ha-ha. But we reached there a little bit too late, sis jUST ran finish :( All thanks to slow walking grandmas and all. Dots. The age gap is like 1930 to 1998? haha. Watched some 800m guys before taking a long time to find our way back.
Swam in the huge pool downstairs the condo. Lovely view and sunset from there really! Played with Dolphine and even sat the slide! How gay, but fun haha. She's primary 4 and she can't shower on her own?!?!?! At pri4 I was suffering 2hrs everyday, showering in cold water from a shower where you have to press it every few seconds or so. We ate dinner at this roadside zi cha. Super yummy delicious. I eat until damn shuang.
We reached there in 7mins! Dad found the correct way. Superb, not bad. Reached 8.45+, in time to watch mok run his 10k in a PB and getting 3rd. The prize giving presentation was too irritating and long to wait tt we left ard 10+ n took a long time to get back. (Got lost)
Thursday
We woke up pretty late. 9+, and by the time we reached sunway lagoon it was 12. By the time we started playing it was 12.30 and we only had till 3pm latest to play! Slides were pretty mild, wave pool was actually v fun and i like the slide on the mat one! :) No time for the amusement park so I tried to pick the scariest ride which turned out not the LEAST bit scary at all. I was just worrying the girls nose opposite me will leak onto me.......... But it was fun all the same. Thank goodness for the clouds which blocked the sun halfway through if not we'll be charcoal black by now.
We got back and ate at around the same place. This time round, ice chocolate, plus roti prata and mee goreng. Lovely! The roti prata makes spore's prata seem really pathetic. So many different curries on one plate, and prata was made with butter and sugar. Super unhealthy but heavenly!
Bathed, and took a cab down to the stadium. The three of us. Roomie, me, dolphine. The taxi driver was irritating. I mean, I'd rather throw a 10 ringgit at him and walk there. Who cares abt the amount. I'm more worried abt reaching there later. Reached around 6pm. Missed the 200IM :( But managed to watch 50m breast guys girls, and 4x200m free relay. So I got to see aLL the spore team swimmers swim actually haha. Went over w sis n mok to talk a little w all of them. After swimming, we got roomie's heavenly ramly burger haha.
Track finals at 8pm. Watched some events. 3km steeple chase, 200m finals, sis' 1500m where she got 4th and missed 3rd by 1s!!!!! and their 4x400m relay. The most interesting event of the day. Last event for the entire AUG track was guys 4x400m. First, there was a false start. And when they restarted, it started to pour at the track. Alot of ppl around cuz it was like the last event so everybody who finished hung around etc. Spore started off last. Then the overtaking started, and we were SECOND AT THE LAST BEND! But the last runner, cramped like 50m to the finishing line. Oh my goodness. Got 4th or 5th in the end. What a waste :( The most exciting race on earth.
It then poured. Like the heavens opened, and it poured.
Reached back really late cuz the last event was like 10+ already. We went for prata round 2. YUMMY! Thank goodness for leewei's patient entertainment for dolphine every night on msn! Since day 1 on tuesday night haha.
Friday
Morning had curry this time round. It's really nice and CHEAP! Packed up the place, including the bleached towel. (I feel totally dots) And we headed to Jalan Bukit Bintang for shopping! Lunch was at this bar.b.q place with a really interesting method using lard instead of butter! Yummy Yummy! We sat the monorail. Shopping was reduced to a short time only though. Spent abt 200ringgit yay free money.
By the time we left it was close to 6.30pm! Which was really late. Watched the sunset. Ate at ayer keroh again. Yummy nasi lemak and everything! so yummy. I think I like the food best during the trip haha. Star gazing! Really nice stars at night! Except tt I was sitting on the side facing the oncoming traffic so abit hard to see :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(
Reached back home around 1am+.
I really enjoyed this trip. And for the many experiences. Lack of sleep, lack of water, lack of fruits, lack of nutrients, super unhealthy food and carbonated drinks. But it was good :)
