went to Malaysia from 23-27 March

It was quite a nice trip. I actually felt kinda sad when I came back to SG ..

cos I knew it was gonna be more boring days waiting ahead..

In M'sia, I had to abandon internet and xbox..

I could only watch movies and play offline games on my laptop there..

Those few days of not spending time on internet and xbox really made me connect more to nature and the people around me. Technology is really making me feel lonely sometimes, if not all the time..

And it's proven you know? Social media experts say that 75% of facebook users are addicted to facebook and out of those 75%, more than 50% of them said they feel lonely.

That's because facebook allows us to chat and check out each other's happenings with the click of a button. The need for a face-to-face meet up is not there anymore, social media and instant messaging have basically ruined the essence of the human touch.

It has its goods and bads. And I think that it's good in a way that it's more convenient yes, but perhaps a little too convenient that people choose to stick to it and forgo genuine, non-cyber interaction.

Ok, back to the M'sia trip..

Woke up early in the morning on the 23rd to head for Kuala Lumpur.

Me and my family went together with my uncle and auntie to give offerings to my great grandfather in KL .

We left at around 9am and reached at around 3 or 4p.m.. we then checked in the hotel for one night only, because the 2nd day onwards was for visiting my grandpa's house.

When we got into our hotel room, I was exhausted and fell asleep despite being sticky and all..

I slept until it was time to go for dinner.. which was around 8p.m

We then walked around town to find any nice places to have dinner. Eventually we found our way to an underground food court which had lots of food like fishball mee, penang prawn mee, penang char kway teow, bak kut teh and so on.. they even had Singapore Fried Hokkien Mee. Our local Hokkien Mee is recognised by our countries, that's awesome! :)

I tried the Penang Fried Kway Teow and to be honest, it wasn't that great.. I don't think it's the stall's problem, it was the cook that day. He was some young Indonesian who didn't look like a competent cook. But it didn't matter, I ate a delicious bowl of Mango snow ice afterwards which satisfied my taste buds again .

After dinner, we headed back to the hotel to relax and catch up on some sleep..

I went back and had a nice warm bath. It's rare for me to have baths as I don't have a bath tub at home, so whenever I go to a hotel and see that there's a bathtub there, I'm like

After having a sweet warm bath, I watched some movies which I stored in my hard drive and brought it up just to watch them on my laptop .

Woke up at around 8am to have breakfast and visit my great grandfather's grave.

We went early to avoid the searing heat of the afternoon sun.

After offering respects, we headed for lunch at a nearby coffeeshop and had fishball mee, chee cheong fun, wanton mee, chicken rice, yong tau foo, basically a Chinese feast !

Makes me hungry typing all these now :(

After lunch, we headed back to the hotel to check out and drive to my grandfather's house while my auntie and uncle headed back to SG with my grandma first.

It was a tiring first and second day as I had to sit in the car for long hours.. but when we finally got to the town, it was around 2 or 3 p.m and we checked in to another hotel. But it wasn't a hotel, it was an inn, a small and cheap, economical place for travellers to rest a night or two before continuing, if you don't know. Sorta like a cottage .. yea

When we reached there, I was again, exhausted and slept without bathing..

I slept until 5+ and then bathed, after which we headed for my grandfather's house.

For the next two days, this was basically it. Going to my grandfather's house in the day and returning back to the inn at night to sleep. It wasn't as boring as expected.. I slept in my grandpa's room most of the time lol !

On the final day, when it was time for me to leave, I had mixed emotions. Glad that I could finally see my friends and talk to them again, but sad that I'll have to face a concrete jungle rather than a natural jungle again..

Sigh, I might just migrate to Malaysia one day if I can't handle the stress in Singapore. I really might.. Anyway, that's about it. Here are some pics I took while in Malaysia.

Great view of the city of KL from our 20+ storey room
