Can't believe I'm blogging again, haha. Holiday is soo damn freaking boring, gotta keep myself occupied every now and then and that's why i decided to blog again!
Went to Gentings Highland last Friday with my family and my brother's friends. It was pretty fun hanging out with them. Too bad there weren't any eye candies, what a spoiler...
The trip there was worthwhile even though it was a short one, I've learnt a few things in fact.
1. Always have a basic grasp of the language of the country you're heading to.
Due to the fact that i cannot comprehend what the Malaysians were saying, it resulted in some pretty awkward moments. (even for someone like me!)
So it went about like this:
Waitress: Sir, we do not have any mineral water left ( Malay)
Me: ??? uh..okay sure. ( English) *turns back and continue talking to my sister*.
Waitress: Ahem, sir, we do not have any mineral water left. Would you wanna order something else? (Malay)
Me: okay thanks *continue talking to my sister*
Dad: Terence, get another drink. No more mineral water.
Me: oh....OH!
This situation would not have arise if only i had picked up some Malay. Still, i was surprisingly impressed by my dad's fluent Malay. Ought to learn from him one of these days, haha.
2. Never ever assume that things in M'sia are always cheaper than Singapore.
My siblings and i went to a LAN shop in the middle of the night as we were bored.
The three of us spent Rm 135 there in 3 hours. Which is equivalent to Rm 15 per hour. Which is equivalent to roughly $7.50 per hour.
We were ripped inside out, leaving our pockets near empty! Even SG lan shops don't charge that much! Luckily our ATM machines were still loaded (thanks mom and dad! )
3. Always head to the toilet whenever you have the chance.
My brother drove us all the way up to Gentings so it was an arduous journey even for the passengers as my family are all pretty bulky and huge and fitting into my brother's sports car and staying there for 4-5 hours can be considered a feat.
Back to the point, we stopped at a petrol station and i decided to give the toilet a miss as i was lazy and didn't wanna get off the car. Besides, we were already in JB and i didn't really had the urge to pee. HUGE MISTAKE.
The SG custom was congested and it took us a very, very long time to get to SG. By then, my bladders was way overloaded. I kept it to myself cause i know my family can't do much anyways. What can they do? Get me a plastic bag?? haha....*cries thinking about it*
As i was saying, my bladders were literally bursting, imagine a gallons' load of pee waiting to burst out of that tiny pee hole. Thankfully, my sister's phone kept me occupied for a little while. Hooray!
Seeing the toilet at the petrol station in SG later on was a huge RELIEF, literally. Nature sure can be a killer at times, good thing SG has no lack of toilets, haha!
4. Some people can never relax, even during holidays.
Reenactment:
8 am, the three musketeers: my brother's friend, my brother and i were sleeping .
Three musketeers: ZzzzZzz
*Ring ring*
Me: *dragged myself to the phone* hello? (sadly, im the lightest sleeper amongst them.)
Mom: Hello?! Wake up wake up, we going for breakfast now, Call kor kor as well.
Me: okay. bye. *hangs the phone and goes back to sleep.*
5 mins later.
*boom boom boom!*
Me: what the!? *opens the door*
Mom: wake up already?? Aiyo! kor kor still sleeping ah!? Like that will late leh!
Me: I will wake him up, don't worry.
*closes door and bathes*
5 mins later, *ring ring*
!@#$%
So some people like my mom cannot relax, even during an overseas trip. The same things happens at home everyday, she will call every 5 mins to wake my brother and my dad up.
One word: IRRITATING. Even my brother's friend find her irritating as well, haha. ( good thing my mom won't be reading this post, hehe)
Piece of advice mom, relax! Hahaha
Okay, shall end the post here. Gonna turn in now, my eyelids are heavy, a car is not a suitable substitute for a bed. Will upload pictures of the trip tomorrow.
P.S Bar Chor Meee is the One For Meeee!
