selamat datang

ola. i'm back. apart from the disastrous/hilarious road systems, the trip was great fun. and it wasnt even as expensive as we thought it would be. oh yes, i survived the 9 hour car-ride there.. AND BACK. and everything else in between.

on our way there, we stopped by melaka's mcdonald's for lunch and who did i see? this guy from school queueing up behind us. MY SCHOOL! in melaka! he kept staring and i kept looking. i guess we were both probably wondering the same thing. so anyway, before we left, he finally asked me if was from tp. and then we realised something. we were in the same french class. so technically, we were classmates. talk about coincidence. what are the odds?

view from my hotel room.

we visited this temple called Kek Lok Si Temple(it wasnt planned), and boy, was it beautiful.

the view looked like china. and yes, by then my ears were blocked. it was waaay high.

we needed to take this inclined lift to see the statue of the goddess of mercy.

i felt like charlie in charlie and the great glass elevator(my favourite roald dahl book!).

ok skip that. there're too many pictures on that.

now the food? dang. it was delicious.
we had local food for 3 dinners, so we decided to have one meal at the hotel's cafe.

last time i checked, there was nothing "upstairs". unless they meant the trees. now about the trees...

we've been on the run, driving in the sun, looking out for number one. california here we come, right back where we started from...

ok i'm too lazy to put up more stuffs right now. i've taken way too many(way way). maybe next time. i'll put up pictures of the sepang f1 circuit as well. vroom.

i think i might just have to kowtow to my dad and brother for being able to drive us there, around, and back. maybe an extra salute to my dad. his navigation scores 100%. as for my mom, all she had to do was sleep. or say something. anything. because we laughed at everything she said.

after this penang trip, melaka just doesnt seem that far away at all. and woodlands? it's just 20 mins from home.
