An assortment of things you don't want to know anyway.
So we went to Genting Highlands this past weekend, and it was quite fitting actually, considering the first of our many trips together was also to Genting. It was like 2003 all over again, really.
In 2003, we stayed up till 6 AM, had the most uncomfortable sleep because 6 (SIX!) people were sleeping in random positions on TWO single beds joined together, walked around next day in a sort of dream-like daze, and slept for 5 hours straight after getting home.
Last week we stayed up till 5 AM, I had the most uncomfortable sleep because we were in an apartment without sufficient beds and some had to resign to sleeping on the carpet, walked around the next day in a dream-like daze, and slept for 6 hours straight after getting home.
Yep, 2003 all over again.
Many many thanks to Shi Yunn and Hui Lu!
LOL I just thought this shot was super funny! Look at Zi Hui and me!
I'd been on all of the fast rides, but I've not been on the Pirate Ship. So naturally I was worried la, so I asked Zi Hui, who'd experienced it before, how it was.
She was like, "Not that scary la, just very chi gek, like your heart falling out."
Then Shi Yunn was super enthusiastic, wanted to take the highest seat, so I figured, fine la, I can handle.
LOL middle of the ride, Zi Hui and me went from "AHHH! Hahahahha!" to "Ohmygoodness, now I'm really scared la!" and "Oh man, I'm actually scared already!"
My leg was shaking, seriously. But it was super fun!
(I have to say though, our faces in the photo is NOT an accurate indication of the actual level of terror both of us felt. We were NOT that scared okay!)

Sigh.
You know Murphy's Law is in action when the ONE time you're away the entire weekend (and hence cannot check your inbox), you get an "URGENT"-labelled email regarding your plane tickets, which having not been replied to ultimately led to RM200 being unnecessarily charged on your father's credit card.
So unlucky right? RM200 is a lot of money to be charged because I was in Genting and didn't reply one email =(
Which is not good, considering that my dad handed me his credit card and trusted me to book my own plane tickets and find my own hotel room.
(Somehow, arriving the night before is RM2000 cheaper than arriving ngam ngam hou on the required date, even with the cost of hotels -Hilton hotel! Buffet breakfast! LCD TV! With HBO and stuff!- factored in.)

Let's do a little comparison on the prices of white 2.4 Ghz Macbooks in Malaysia and in the US, shall we?
In Malaysia,
Price = RM4,599
In the US,
Price (plus state tax) = $1274 = RM4204
If that's not wonderful enough, they're throwing in a free 8GB iPod Touch for college students!
An iPod Touch costs RM1399 in Malaysia, by the way.
So basically over there I could pay RM4204 for the same things that would cost me RM5998 in Malaysia.
Yes, take time to wrap your head around that.
