This post is about my trip to KL from 19-21 Nov, Sat-Mon.

The thing I like about other countries is nature. You can barely find a place not touched by development in Singapore. Even in nature reserves or parks, you'd still hear civilisation. Malaysia is different, before we entered Malaysia there was this clear view of the sea and the sky, without any buildings or ships and throughout the journey there was lots of forests and greenery. Yep, I got a thing for nature..
We arrived a little late at Istana Hotel due to a traffic jam, after which we checked in and went to Lot 10 for shopping in the afternoon. I only bought a white shirt and a pirated DVD, "day after tomorrow". Not much of a shopper..
At dinner my room-mate Jay was missing, I had told him about dinner before I left the room so I thought nothing about it. Then Mrs Leslie asked and we went up to see whether he was in the room. He had fallen asleep.. =\ I mustn't ignore small details like that ever again..
I did think of asking Jean to meet us at KL and I smsed her yesterday before the trip but there was no response. I thought about it, it would be difficult to make it happen between the two of us especially since we're separated geographically and grew up in different environments. Besides, she's so attractive that someone might have successfully won her heart by now. I also question whether I'm good enough for her.. I mean.. I'm not exactly good-looking.. just average in my opinion. My personality's okay I guess, I'm more sensitive and considerate towards others now and even more mature and patient than in the past. I know.. what a girl should be looking for in a guy is his character.. but I just don't have that confidence..

I had never been on a roller coaster before I still can't believe I went to the one at Times Square.. twice. I heard it's the largest indoor theme park in the world. There was a 360 degree round and a few upside-downs. It was crazy.. -.-
I'm still wondering who asked the two girls for their email cause after lunch Ms Teng told me to pass their emails to the guys. I would have started conversations with them but like I said earlier, I just don't have that confidence. I got a thank you card for the younger one's aunt who had been bringing us around but I forgot to bring it, Ms Teng might only see them again during Christmas so I guess she'll only get it then.
I headed back to the hotel with Arthur and Max and we went for a swim. I didn't bring my goggles though.. =\ Then I learnt two "magic tricks" from Max and Jeremy before dinner, always wanted to know one or two.. =)
After dinner I stayed in the hotel and listened to the singers at the lobby from 10 to 1. I really enjoyed it and I'd still rather listen to them sing again instead of going to the flea market which the others went to. It was awesome cause I spent 3 hours doing nothing but just sit and listen to music. In my opinion, those are the times which make life good - when you slow down your pace and do something you like for once. I probably wouldn't have a chance to do that back in Singapore cause I'd either be gaming or busy with something else. I learnt another thing about myself, I love good music and it'd be great if my special someone would too. Just like sit on the couch, snuggle close to each other and listen to music..
Before I left Singapore I told myself I wanted to get a few particular people to open up. I hope I've made a little impact on the people I've talked to..

I lost the breakfast vouchers but fortunately Mrs Leslie and Ms Teng were around so she got me and Jay seats. Otherwise we would have had to go to 7-11 opposite and buy something to fill our stomachs with. Then I spent late morning watching the DVD I bought on Jeremy's DVD player, that way I wouldn't have to smuggle it into Singapore. In the afternoon, a few people were late for the bus, I wish people have more of a sense of urgency..
On the bus I sent this sms to Jean..
"I've been thinking whether or not to tell you this for two days.. but I'll speak my mind before it's too late.. and even if it won't make a difference. I wish to have the chance to get to know you better, even if it's on the basis of friendship only. It's up to you whether it will come true.." I probably took one hour to gather the courage to send it after I finished writing it..
