Boring days = Holidays

mr. hide and seek lizard has mysteriously disappeared. i wonder whether he got bored of me or he'd met his demise in some way which will never be known to me... i noticed his absence after getting back from genting...

so, genting was quite boring... we didn't know what to do so we spent the 1st day walking around the shopping area, which was redundant since kl/pj shops are in a whole other league above almost anywhere in malaysia. however, we did enter the casino... to get free hot milo!!! hahaha.. i think that must've sound so stupid... but none of us actually knew how to gamble... and we were of age to enter... although we did have to show our i.c. before entering, and one of the guards thought my friend was my mum... kakaka... after that she was like "do i look so old?" anyway, we ended the day by studying our respective books (YC-mina no nihonggo, BY-some JLPT level 4 book, and me-cima c4) in our room.

2nd day was better, although we woke up really late and only left the room after midday. we went bowling - where i really sucked at it and only striked like twice in 2 games... so malu-fying!!! then YC and BY went rock climbing... i didn't dare to because it looked scary and my arms were still hurting from lugging my luggage bag around the previous day. after that we played some arcade games and archery. archery was really tiring for my arms (since i don't really have much muscles and never exercise!!!) and since it was near closing time, the instructors/staff kept helping us out (so we could finish early and they could close up, i think). anyway, we ended the 2nd day by sitting in starbucks studying till 2am...

both days were raining and so it was really damp and cold whenever we went outside. we tried taking pictures in the misty night... this is one i took with my camera phone with a faint starbucks coffee sign in the background.


the journey home was such a misfortune. the cable car stopped for awhile when we were halfway on our journey down. then there were no available buses for us till 4pm, so we had to wait for more than 2 hours in the dingy bus station. our bus driver was a maniac racing down the winding roads making both my friends sick to the stomach. at kl sentral, putra lrt was down and so we were stranded there. after having a bite at secret recipe, we managed to take a train to taman jaya and from there everything was ok.

i managed to go for our church's christmas service in putra stadium. it was nice with lots of dancing. at night we had a family reunion dinner and LK and i followed a cousin to a catholic midnight mass in assumption church. we had to sit outside the overflow hall and so, had difficulty seeing the screen and hearing what was going on. plus this was the first time i've been to a midnight mass and so i have no idea what was going on and why we had to sit and stand numerous times. but it's very different from what i experience in my church. maybe next time i should go with someone who could actually explain to me what the rituals symbolises etc.
