The day i died..

So here i am, back, safely in one piece, from my trip to Johor, the place where i have gone to so many times that i could tell you how to get there..

The first thing i found out after coming back? - Sheesh, my internet connection was gone again, thanks to those copper-wire thieves who don't have a life of their own. I truly hate them for messing up my internet life, especially when i just came back, sigh. Pitiful me, typing my blog draft into a New Text Document.txt, planning to upload it sometime later, if my internet ever comes back. I just hope its not gonna be another 3 weeks or something, or i'm gonna kill the tmnet guys personally.

Enough of my complains, i'll be guessing that you guys want a brief descriptions of my travel to Johor eh?

Here goes:

-=- Thursday -=-
I came back from school, had my lunch, and departed from home at 2.15pm, packed in a car with my 3 other family members - Dad, mom and my bro. Nothing extraordinary happened during the trip. We reached Bidor in the noon and had some of the "Wan Tan Mee" in a shop which is famed for the noodles. (Some shop called "An Soon" or something, go figure).

Our journey continued with a direct drive to Kuala Lumpur, night fell, and we stopped at a shop to have the KL "Hokkien Char" and "Loh Mee" (Mind you, although they have the same name as the food here, well, they're COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from the ones here) with my sister and her boyfriend, who're both working in KL. Dinner commenced with much talk about current conditions, stuff - the ones long-distance family members usually talk about.How bout the night?

We spent the night at YMCA (Stands for "Young Men's Christian Association", lets sing the YMCA song!) as usual, as the price's reasonable and its considered in a nice condition.

-=- Friday -=-
I was waken up by my dad at 5.00am, informing me that we'll start early to Johor so we could come back to KL at night in time. Everybody bathed (Sheesh, the water heater broke down with no reason, so we had to literally "freeze ourselves" there) and we checked out of the hotel and started our way to Johor.

Breakfast? We took our light breakfast at KFC Jejantas Ayer Keroh (The KFC's the only place that's open there) and our actual breakfast at Yong Peng, Johor.And oh did i mention? Most of the people in Johor thinks that we (my family) are Singaporeans, probably because of our height? Or our ability to speak English? Or our outfits? Ask them, not me, XD. Anyway, a guy told us that its a holiday "for some states in Malaysia" on Fridays. Imagine his expression when we told him we're from Kedah and we know that, lol.

Noon. We finally got to Parit Raja, Johor - Its a very, very, very, very, very rural place, trust me on this, but probably you get to enjoy the nature here. We went to a relative's house, bringing some durians my dad bought at Yong Peng for them. Hmm, did i say that i hated durians? Well, i don't quite like them (durians). However, i did eat some (against my own conscience), for relatives' sake?.. Lunch was taken in a coffeeshop in town, and with a farewell and a hug, we left my brother there, and we started back to KL.

First destination: Midvalley Megamall! There we went, phoning my sister again, informing them of our arrival, and we had dinner at a Kenny Rogers restaurant - without my sister :P. Hmm, what did i eat? -=> Package of the Day - "Go Green! Rice + Salad + Roasted Chicken"; warm yummy mushroom soup, and a "Winter" themed Four Seasons Fizzy Drink.Considered cheap, and im contented.The night was spent at the YMCA again, as we managed to book a room, fortunately..

-=- Saturday -=-
I woke up.
I went back to sleep.
I woke up.
Okay, im not going back to sleep again.
After a washup, i went down to "have my breakfast", which is like.. Free, as they gave us a complimentary breakfast voucher. Nothing much happened when i ate my cheese sandwiches, unless you count the event where the Minister of Housing - Ong Ka Chuen came to give a talk in the hall there.

Perfect. We started our homecoming journey at noon, and had Cantonese food lunch at 3.00pm in Ipoh. Guess what, its rice again. *Faints*.. Okay, okay.. I decided that i'd eat bread for the next week, as i think im suffering from "Rice-phobia : The fear of rice".

Reached home at 5.00pm, and the first thing i did? Yeah, yeah you know me.. Rushed up to the computer room, flicked all the switches on, and waited. Hey wait, why's the modem not connecting to the internet? I picked up my phone, and - s-i-l-e-n-c-e. Thats when i started screaming in agony till the whole housing compound hears. Nah, im just joking about the screaming part..

Thats all. Reading back, i think im getting a lil' "Grandma-story"-like, which is kind of unusual for me..

Bye for now.
