Malaysia Trip

Didn't start off the day well. Woke up late (my parents too). So we were rushing. Plus, my parents asked my cousins over (the two elder ones) as they were worried that my aunt can't cope. So we were very rush.

At the LRT station, my dad realized that he had lost his EZ-Link card after all of us had enter the station. He did not know where he lost it. My mum got jumpy again and eventually used her extra card for my dad to enter. Yet, she was still unhappy about it and even though we had reach level 2 of the station, she did not left the lift and went back down to search for the card. While waiting at the platform, my dad decided to go down too so I was left with my two cousins. What happened had dampened my mood for the day.

There had been other things that happened mainly due to my parents esp my mum being jumpy that I even had the thought of not going for the trip. It happened even in Malaysia. (-.-)'''

Well, at the Desaru Fruit Farm, Michelle wanted to snap her own photos yet her mum and my mum insist that she listened to what the tour guide had to say and there were lots of unhappiness here and there. I'll keep hearing, 'COME HERE! LISTEN', 'WAIT FIRST...!', etc etc. I had to 'siam' as far as I can and keep myself busy and away from that group so that I can't hear all that.

Anyway, the fruit farm not only got fruit trees but also had a few bunny houses, monkeys, an ostrichs corner, a bee aviary, a Koi fishpond, a goat barn, 2 monkeys and many chickens. We took too many photos (382 photos to be exact) so I shan't upload.

Well, I had a long day the day before so in the bus, I had a hard time trying to keep awake. Junting, another cousin, even had to push my head back as my head was dropping outside the seat. Most of the time in the bus journey, most of us was asleep.

After we left the fruit farm, we went to the Tanjung Balau Fishermen's Village. In the museum, we weren't allow to take photos but we were allowed time to take photos at the beach outside. The sea was the South China Sea and was on low tide.
Junting and Michelle drew on the grey sand, 'Gu zhang pa pa, Happy birthday' and a cake as the day before was my dad's Lunar birthday. How sweet of them and of course I snap photos.

After that, we went to places where they sell stuffs like 'ma ti su', etc. As I didn't bring even $, I had to restrict myself as I also need to source for x'mas pressies for my cousins (Father's side) as there was a gathering on x'mas day.

We were also brought to another place where we were told that they sell nice 'ji dan bing'. I did not buy again as I am short of cash. There was a Herb garden where I snap some photos. All the herbs had a label tag in chinese with its name and functions. While snapping photos, saw a huge creature passing by when I wanted to walk over. It made me jumped! The kids had their fun in the bus taking photos too.

Then we were off for dinner. We were early so we were allowed to walk around the area but there is nothing there so we went early to the restaurant.

And we were off to watch Fireflies after dinner. It was my 1st time. My mum got me a bag at that area while we wait awhile for the sky to darken.

Each of us then get a life jacket and then we board the boat. We found ourselves seats in front and we snap some photos again.

When we saw the fireflies in a distant, it was shimmering like a x'mas deco on a x'mas tree, it was shimmering like the stars in the sky. It was very pretty. But it was a pity that it was too small to be capture by camera (I am unsure if any professional kind of camera are capable of snap such shot). I love the shimmering stars in the sky. So I was so in love with the sight as it was very pretty. At that moment, I forgot about what happened especially in the morning. Together with my relatives, we caught 4 fireflies and put them in a container. We can't bring them home which I hope I could but I won't as their habitat would be different. So after looking at it up closed once they went back to shore and attempting to snap a few shots but the pictures weren't clear, we released them before boarding the bus home.

On the journey home, there were traffic jam. And we reached home at 11+pm when we left home at about 6am. And we (my dad; my cousin, JT; my cousin, Michelle and her mum and me) took a total of 667 photos.
The two cousins followed me home again. I was so sian as I would have to look after them at night when I was so tired. They had been staying at my house for the past 2 weeks till now. (-.-)''' I badly need a break, a rest. School is starting! (T.T) (*.*)

Had been like bring them out to watch this performance here and there, going my aunt's place as my mum had to help clean the house esp the mess made by the dogs, or she go alone with my grandma while I look after the 3 kids at home, etc etc. I also wanted to revise!!!! ARGH!!
