One week in M'sia

[wahaha... finally have time to do some updating... man.. DIAL UP INTERNET = Hui DESPISES... =P... man... hopefully this post turns out fine too... missin ya all in perth! hui hui]

Aims and thoughts when flying to Malaysia...
  • Eat as much as possible
  • Shop as much as my body can take
  • Visit my old pal
  • Spend time with Mum and Dad
  • Spend time with relatives during Chinese New Year
  • Enjoy the whole tropical experience before coming back to temperate Perth
  • Keep in contact with buds in Perth
With these thoughts in mind, I sat on the plane (next to quite a friendly guy) and flew to Malaysia. In the 5 hour plane trip I managed to watch The Guardian and ... this other movie with The Rock in it, but I have forgotten its title. It's the age... because I've just turned 18!!! Yesterday!!! Seniors' moment...

Anyway, after about a week and a half of staying in this awesome place, I've accomplished nearly everything, except points 2, 5 and 6. Point 2 is never ending, so that doesn't really count; point 5 is yet to come; and point 6... the problem is that, I can't really "enjoy" the tropical experience. All I see is rubbish along the road, uncovered gigantic drains next to houses, random banana trees growing on the roadside... I don't know, it's a little bit hard to appreciate the experience when all this is just around the corner. However, I am enjoying the weather, despite the high humidity; and more importantly, I'm enjoying my stay here because of the people I'm with and because of the things I am able to do!

I feel really lucky to be able to do all these things, all provided by my awesome parents. Last night was my birthday celebration, they took me out to a French restaurant, and I tried escargots!!! Another weird thing that I've tried in my life... on my 18th birthday! To top it all off, Mum bought me a can of Tiger Beer, just as a "signature mark" of my 18th. I'm entirely, totally, undoubtedly LEGAL! Feels good... but old at the same time.

Photos and all shall be posted when I'm back in Perth. Dial up internet... I sigh at you.

Hui Hui ^^b
