"Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn’t it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life…You give them a piece of you. They didn’t ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like smile at you, and then your life isn’t your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like ‘maybe we should be just friends’ turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It’s a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love”."

".. The best we can do is to keep the dream alive. The future is in the children who don't care that space is impractical and expensive, but look at distant stars and wonder if there is someone out there looking back."

The right-wing magazine US Investors' Daily claimed that if Steven Hawking had been British, he would have been allowed to die at birth by its "socialist" healthcare system. Hawking responded with a polite cough that he is British, and "I wouldn't be here without the NHS."

Better get this penned down now.

This is teh travel log of mein malaysia trip. i wrote em all out in my phone's notes.

Day 1:

Arrived at Ipoh on train. Went to train station hotel. Lift's damn old and damn cool. Hotel room looked damn freaky. OUTSIDE THE WINDOW THERE WAS A ZINC ROOF, AND ON THAT ZINC ROOF THERE WAS A FACE THAT LOOKED LIKE THE FRIKIN JOKER. MEH.

Also there was a room with just a mirror and a light hanging overhead. A dressing room mirror. Those old looking ones. >.<

Night came. Went around town looking for food. The town was...not. And the whole place was seedier than the area under the angsana tree when the wind blows down. I swear there was a murder at one of the coffee shops. There were many police cars. And two green cloths on the ground. There were things under the cloth. We didn't dare look closer. We ended up eating northern indian food in malaysia.

AND THERE WAS NO INTERNET.

Day 2:

We set off for Cameron Highlands, but stopped off at a cave place...thing. Didn't help that i was playing chrono trigger before thees. Kept imagining some final boss thing would appear when we tried to exit.

Then stopped off at some old castle (http://www.pulau-pangkor.com/Kellies-Castle.html). The story damn sad lah. All the guy wanted to be was a megalomaniacal white dude who owns a castle in Malaysia. Sheesh.

FORTY CENT PRATAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Got on the back of the pickup truck (my dad's friend's friend drove us around from today till day 4) while driving up Cameron Highlands. WIND IN HAIR IST SEHR GUT. But mein a** hurts. Meh. The air's damn cold. And Malaysian drivers ah, damn terror. One woman driver was trying to overtake us on the frikin winding road. WE ALSO ALMOST CRASHED INTO ANOTHER PICKUP TRUCK GOING IN THE OPPOSITE FRIKIN DIRECTION. TERROR MANNN.

Arrived at this cute little...ah heck. It was an english themed hotel/challet place, thing called Bala's Hotel. An english resort owned by an indian malaysia. Sweet.

WITH A FIRE PLACE IN THE DINING AREA. A REAL-A** FIRE-FRIKIN-PLACE. And i threw a small piece of tissue. It was on the firewood. It never got burnt for some reason. The flames never reached it.

Wahaha, the flames are like water, except it flowed up and it was frikin hot. ...yeah.

AND THERE WAS NO INTERNET.

Day 3:

Woke up late. Sh**. Dad's friend came and i left without bathing and all. >.<

FORTY CENT PRATAAAA.

cents as in singapore cents.

also, starbucks. WITH INTERNET. BUT NO LAPTOP. MEH.

i think my brother put chewing gum in my pants. In. Not on. In.

TOO MUCH INFO ALERT spent 30 minutes in the starbucks toilet getting it out TOO MUCH INFO ENDS HERE

Cameron Highland's obsession with strawberries is..disturbing.

And i was made to pose as one. You know those wooden things you can stick your head in? Yeah, that.

Speaking of which, my sisters owe me a dollar for that...

Arrived at the new hotel. It was nice. It had a stove, it was on the tenth floor, it was high on Cameron Highlands and we have monopoly.

BUT INSTEAD WE WENT TO A TEA FARM. WHICH WAS KICK-A**. THE TEA WAS GOOD. BUT THE ROAD TO AND FROM THE TEA FARM IS DAMN SCARY. WINDING ROADS ARE NICHT GUT.

and we bought the tea company's mascot plushtoy. his name's mr boh. we have two of him. we made them punch each other. fun.

AND THEN WE WENT TO A BEE FARM. FFS WHY A BEE FARM. I'M FRIKIN SCARED OF FRIKIN BEES. good thing it's next to the hotel, and we drove back 15 minutes after we got to the farm. monopoly and maggie time! (didn't lose for once. heh lost)

And meh, was all settled for bed, then had to change room with my sis' coz there were moths and loadsa bugs in their room and not ours and they were frikin scared. yay. my brother told me to shoot a bug. like really. we had a gun. with gunpowder stuffs in it. small gun, we didn't bring it back to singapore. and the bug fell. and he squished it. but there were more. and we said "screw it, i'm gonna sleep". and we slept. but not before i had my dose of CT. again. meh i'm addicted.

also we threw paper planes outta the window. litter to the max. fun litter.

Day 4:

COLD. DAMN COLD. I'M IN SHORTS AND SHORT SLEEVES AND IT'S DAMN COLD. AND THERE'S NO HOT HOT HOT WATER.

and so our dad's friend's friend came.

with the pickup truck

and all 7 of us packed in a pickup truck meant for 4 passengers coz we had to rush and sitting in the back was dangerous when driving at high speeds.

and that's when we discovered little boys puke when exposed to breakfast, gobbling and high speeds.

and he puked on my dad

when we were going past a waterfall.

how convenient.

so the two washed up there while the whole family just...hung out there for a bit.

the bees were strangely attracted to my yellow and black shoes, hmm.

TOO MUCH INFO ALERT and one kept flying around my crotch area and occasionally landing there. meh! TOO MUCH INFO OVER

And we said goodbye to my dad's friend's friend when we got back to ipoh. and we boarded a bus to KL. Where we boarded a bus to singapore immediately after coz we managed to get tickets for the 6.30pm bus and managed not to be forced to take the 10pm bus. Yay.

AND AT A CHECKPOINT NEARING JB, THEY SOLD RAMLI BURGERS. THE MOST KICKA** BURGERS IN TEH FRIKIN WORLD.

And the malaysian checkpont was >9000 times more impressive than singapore's woodlands' checkpoint. It was more efficient and it was SO DAMN PRETTY.

and we got to singapore before 12, so i told the truth about being back on the 18th of june. yay.

and...that's all. god, that took long.
