hi everyone! i'm finally back from malaysia.. hahaX.. went there with my parents and my brother's school. the trip to KL/cameron highlands was supposed to be 3 days 2 nights but alas it was a 4 days 3 nights trip all thanks to the Singapore checkpoint. hahaX.. i was supposed to reached s'pore at 10pm yesterday but i arrived in s'pore at 12.30am, which was past midnight. that counts a day and a night.. =D hahaX.. anyway, we're so LUCKY to witness the first in HISTORY that the computer system in s'pore checkpoint was down. all cars, lorries, buses, people were stranded.. and we're like half way in between malaysia and singapore.. lolX.. like a bunch of lonely, homeless people cos we've already came out of malaysia and couldn't get into singapore. since the computers couldn't lock in, the poor immigration officers had to write down each and everyone's particulars and find the whole list of singaporeans before letting them into singapore. then, we saw many cars cutting queues. it even caused the police officers to come and call the drivers to turn back and queue again. maybe they even got a fine for cutting queues. anyway, we took the photo of the negotiation and thought of sending it to stomp but didn't sned it in the end. will post the pictures next time. inside the immigration hall, it was really chaotic. there are people pushing and cutting queues everywhere.. wow.. i think that it was the first time the hall wasnt BIG. and we couldn't even get into the hall.. imagine the crowd?? OMG.. then we followed a parent and squeezed our way to the the front right side where there are fewer people and the air is must fresher. since the computer broke down, we couldn't use the express lanes where you just have to scan our passport and thumbprint. after waiting for a hour or plus plus, THANK GOD the computer finally could work. hahaX.. so that's how i managed to get back to singapore or else i'll reach back maybe 6am today??? lolX.. anyway, we went shopping by taking the monorial to bukit bintang shopping centre. reach there at around 9pm. i was quite shocked that there are still so many people doing last minute shopping there. and there was even a beauty contest going on. the streets are also very crowded and buzzing with people. hahaX.. love the atmosphere there.. anyway, we were lucky that we didnt meet or see any riots going on there.. and the monorial was okay.. cos when we came back from malaysia, i heard from the news that there were riots and the monorial de-railed there.. THANKS GOD again. =) we stayed at KL for a day before proceeding to cameron highlands. we took the new route which was gentler. thus very few people vomit. the air at cameron was very fresh and cold. it was like having an air con in the hot sun. hahaX.. cool right?? the scenery there was SUPER nice luh!! all the mountains, greenery, waterfalls, buildings, plantations.. OMG!!! i love cameron highlands!! will post the pictures at my next blog. we visited strawberry farms, BOH tea plantations, bee farm etc. anyway, the nightlife there was great too.. we could only shop during our spare time, that was the night. me and my dad went to explore the local market. bought lots of things there.. and the most surprising thing was that we bargained 2 shirts at a price of RM22. actually the shirt cost $20 each. then the shop owner gave us a discount which brings the price down to $15. but my dad didnt bring much money out as he left his wallet in the hotel. then we are surprised that the shop owner decide to sell us 2 shirts at a price of RM22.. hahaX.. really worth it.. heheX.. had steamboat dinner on the second night. that was the best dinner ever!! hahaX.. most filling of all.. hahaX.. the third day was all the travelling back to singapore. i slept most of the time back.. 17 hours of travelling which is mostly due to traffic jams and that one of the mini vans broke down.

hahaX.. so that's all for my trip to malaysia.. hahaX.. this was the longest post i have ever written.. hahaX.. will post the pictures at my next post as i'm very lazy to upload the pictures into my computer.. =X
