Well, hi everybody that's in the rest of the world. I'm in Malaysia atm...IT'S BEEN AWESOME FUN!! Can you believe that it hasn't been at least a week yet?! Anyway i'm here to tell you about everything that's happend so far starting from day 1.
Day 1
Today we woke up normal time because our flight was only at 1:00pm, but we still had to be at the airport by 10 to check in early. (ask parents if you dont understand i know i didn't.) Anyway the time that was before the flight (the 2 hours) went by soo quickly. Well, we got on the flight, and we got comfy. A kind stuerd took a picture of mum and I. All pictures will be uploaded somewhere, tell you when i update for part2 in Malaysia. Anyway getting back to day 1. The flight was around about 5 hours, VERY LONG!! I thought i was going to sleep but i didn't. Anyway we flew on QANTAS and there was a TV!! I watched Beverlyn Hills Chiuaua because i haven't watched it before. Mum watched 2 movies, a weird ADULT MOVIE, and Mama Mia, she was a little disappointed because she didn't get to finsih Mama Mia because we were about to land.
We got to Changi airport ok. My feet were killing me already by then. Changi airport is sooo BIG HUGE GIGANTIC you name all the big words it's that. It's like 3 times the size of my airport. There were heaps of internet stations, HEAPS all over the place. We checked out of the departure lounge and thought we could check back in straight away. Unfortunately we had to wait 1 hour before the check in counter opened. Finally it opened and we got in, and sat the sky train, looked at all the terminals, ect. Until it was time to board our flight. Apparently the total amount of flight time was meant to be 1 hour, but that included taxing. The real amount of flight time was 25 mins!! SOO SHORT!! We checked out and we met up with my aunty. She was soo shocked to see me. My shortness had knocked her out.
Straight after we got out of the airport we went straight to eat Roti Chani/Roti Prata, SAME THING! Anyway that was my first culture shock. When we got home we went straight to bed.
Day 2
Today we went to do my IC and renew my passport. Oh man i don't want to go into detail of how long we had to wait and how much prossessing we had to do before the form actually went in. All i can say is THEY SPELT MY NAME WRONG AND WE HAD TO REENTER MY BIRTH CERTIFICATE DETAILS...there i said it all. That took at least 2 and a half hours i tell you.
Anyway the passport thing was very quickish...not...well, we had to make a temporary IC and that took abou 30 mins, and then the actual prosses took about 1 hour. So that wasn't soo bad, but it still sucked.
That day the food was AWESOME! I forgot what i had but whatever it was it was goooood1!!
Day 3
Today was the day we went to Taipeng and Penang. The trip to Taipeng was about 2 hours. Sara, Brian and I slept most of the way. We stayed in this little you could say guest house next to my gran-aunt's house. That night we went to a night safari. Let me tell you something, in my opinion i think it was a total rip off. ALL THE ANIMALS DIDN'T EXIST. There was nothing to see. Did you know that Taipeng is meant to be the wettest place in Malaysia. Yeah now you know, my mum also lived there when she was young (born there and grew up there) It was pretty awesome.
The next day we went to Penang, which was only about an hour or so away from Taipeng. I slept again for most of the way, and so did Bryan and Sara. I didn't get to see the Penang bridge at all because i was sleeping coming in and out of Penang Island. We went to stay with Jane my cousin. She's 1 year younger than me. We stayed up until 1am in the morning playing cards LOL.
I woke up pretty early the next day. I packed all my stuff into the bags, because today we were going back to the house. I slept again, for the way back. That night i slept like a baby. I was sooo exhausted.
Day 4
Today we went to Malaca, it was about 1 hours drive from PJ. The first thing we did was sit on the tricycle bike thing. It was pretty awesome because we went to see all the historical things there, after that we went on foot to see them properly, then we went to see a palace. They restored it to how they think it looked like when the sultan used to live there many centurys ago. Some of the historical things are almost 500 years old. All the stuff in Malaca was HEAPS old, like some of the stuff, was built in 1095 i think. Old right? Anyway after that we went to eat lunch. We had chicken ball rice. It was awesome, the rice were in balls not on the plate flat. It was very different!
After that, we went to walk on Jonker Walk. The street was strung with THOUSANDS of lanterns. I bought heaps of things, i bought a wave fan, sticky bubble blowers, and food! On the way back, we went to eat some ice shavings. It was very very very sweet. That night we had Shabu Shabu. Shabu Shabu is Steam boat but Japanese style. It's where you have a built in pot holder stove in the table. It's pretty awesome. There's one for each person. You get the food by taking it off the turning converbelt in the middle. It's like the sushi converbelt. Let me tell you IT WAS YUMMY!
Day 5
Today we were going to KLCC the heart of the twin towers! We were going to the twin towers OMG! The twin towers weren't as tall as i'd imagined them to be, but they were still pretty tall. But the KL tower was taller. First of all before we went into the twin towers, we had to go check out my passport. We went to the Australian High-Com thing. But we didn't have to doanything at all. Oh yeah did i mension WE PASSED THE KINGS HOME! ;P Anyway after that we went shopping under the twin towers. We bought heaps of clothes! We had lunch there and then came back for the afternoon.
Day 6
Today, we went to Sunway Pyrimid. Sunway Lagoon is its actual name. It is famous for the theme park, Resort and shopping centre. Let me just tell you the toilets there are really nice! For lunch we had rice, with some yummy malay food. The resteraunt was facing the theme park and i could see most of the theme park. It was like an african themed adventure world! After lunch we went to do more shopping and then went home.
Day 7
Today we were supposed to go to Genting in the morning but instead we ended up going in the afternoon. Mum had to go visit some people and buy dad's new teva shoes. Then finally in the afternoon we went up to Genting. The hotel room was AWESOME! I haven't stayed in a hotel room in ages. The rides were AWESOME! But the first day there we only got to go on the indoor rides. My favourite ride in the indoor theme park, was the Aero Express! It was an indoor rollercoaster. Oh yeah! There were also bumper cars! It was all pretty awesome, but seriously after that day i was exhausted so i went back to the hotel and SLEPT!
Day 8
Today we were going to the outdoor theme park! I had an all day theme park meaning that i could go on the indoor rides as well as the outdoor rides, but it was all pretty awesome. The first ride we went on was the 'Spinner'. Sara and I, were the only ones on that ride, it was pretty awesome. Then we went on Malaysia's first rollercoaster, the 'Cyclone'. It had soo many drops, like hills. It was soo fast. It didn't go upside down, but it made you feel like you were. The next few rides i had to sit with my 6 year old cousin. I have to admit it was very very boring...but he liked it and that's all that matters right? ^^
Anyway i think the next ride we went on was the 'Dinosaurland Park' thing. It was for my other cousin, who's like a freak with dinosaurs. Then from there we went to go sit the Flying Dragon, it's a REALLY REALLY fast rollercoaster. It goes vertical LITTERALLY! It makes you feel like you're gonna go upside down but you don't. The 'Flying Dragon' was my favourite ride. Then we went for lunch, which was yummy, then we went to sit, 'Rolling Thunder Mining train' which i didn't get to sit in last time cause i was too short. But now i could sit it! It goes really really fast, like a run-away train. Then it goes around in a circle really fast, and it's sooo loud.
That was the last ride we went on, then we had to go home. Most of the way i slept, AGAIN XD. From there, we went to my Aunties hair dresser and she cut our hair, that's why i have my AWESOME new hairstyle! That day was really awesome!
Day 9
Today was CHINESE NEW YEAR EVE! We were like cleaning everything, and putting up CNY decorations. It was very very frantic XD. But we got there in the end, it was a very short day, nothing interesting to do.
Day 10
Today was CNY! We went visiting heaps of aunties and uncles today, it was very confusing but i think i just got hold of who we went to visit. erm...Uncle Paul...Aunty Annie...erm..anyway getting on, i got heaps of hugs and kisses from people i just met. It was very freaky. But it was still pretty awesome. Guess what i had for lunch at one of the aunties house, i had rice! I'm a rice bucket, if there's rice i'll eat it ;P. When we got home it was basically people coming over to visit us! Then we played with pop pop and sparklers outside and it was really fun! Yeah, that's basically it.
Day 11
I forgot today? Dont know why? Just got a mind blank sorry!
Day 12
Today i know, because today we went to Singapore! It was like a 5 hour drive. When we finally got there, we had lunch, we were staying with my uncle's brother. It's a very distant uncle in-law cause its my aunties husband. Confusing i know, anyway i should make this snappy cause i know you guys are like getting really really really bored, and you're just about to stop reading soo...sorry about the long story, but it was over 2 and a half weeks. Anyway yeah, it was basically the trip to Singapore today.
Day 13
Today we went site seeing. We went around the main city of Sinapore. It was awesome! We got to see the Merlion, the Durians, and we got to sit on a boat tour! Then we saw alot of ERP! Every road pay!! XD I got it off a Singaporean movie called "Money no Enough" it was soo funny! I took some pictures lol.
Day 14
Today we were going home, we went to Changi Airports Buget terminal. People kept on saying it was really shabby and sucked, but it was actually really really good! There were internet stations and heaps of shops. At one of the shops i got my phone keyring. It has my name on it :). Our flight home was very boring, and it went very slowly. D'you know who was on the same flight as me!! DYLAN WONG! I was like what the? It was a really big coicidence because he was in Malaysia and Singapore at the same time as me. Anyway when we got home, i gave dad a really BIG hug! It's so good to be back!
Well that was the big adventure i had during my summer holidays. Sorry it's taken this long to publish, i've been very lazy :P. Anyway who likes the new look of my blog? XD
