Shop till u drop baby!

There is no such thing as window shopping! Thats just code-word for real shopping!!

First of all I'm staying in a girl's dormitory with 5 other girls and it's so much fun! The last couple of girl's dorms i stayed at were deserted, whereas now it's full house! We had some nice girly chats about clothes, makeup, cleansers..oh and yes..our travels of course! :-P So i spent the day with one of my roomies who is from Turkey but lives in London. We spent the day roaming the streets of Singapore and it was so much fun! We started off doing some window shopping which turned into real shopping! But i must say i got some good deals so I dont feel guilty at all! Oh what the hell.. this is the first shopping i've done in my holiday!! SO i bought two of these dresses that are really in fashion right now.. theyre tight under the bust and then loose and flowwy! They're quite girly... i tried one on for fun and then i just loved it and bought 2 of them, each for about lm5 so those were a bargain! :-) I kept joking that they looked a bit like maternity wear...so my turkish friend and i joked about that all day!

We visited China town.. yes another China town how many can i possibly digest?!... but it's a really nice place and the buildings are very colonial style so it was nice to see! We also had a nice slurpy noodles there..whats new!

We're trying to figure out how we can spend New Year's Eve tomorrow so we've bene asking around and it seems like the best place is a beach party! So we're looking into that and i will keep you posted on th eoutcome in a day or two!

Hope you all have nice new year's celebrations! I'll be in 2007 seven hours before you so i beat you to it!! ;-)

Welcome aboard the puke-express!

I have huge admiration for people who travel with young children.
Lots of admiration but no compassion!

Today i took a 6 hour bus ride from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore. When i got on the bus the first thing i spotted was this family climbing on with 2 young children, strollers, bags with nappies/bottles/softoys/wipies..you name it! How do they do it! SOmetimes i search in my bag for half an hour to find a tissue... you have to get a degree in organisational skills before you even think of having babies!

Anyway back to my story. Before the bus even left the parents started force-feeding their young daughter this liquid which i got the feeling was some kind of diluted medicine. When the job was done they hung around holding a plastic bag in case she puked it ..which she did.. but only a little... saving the rest of it for 10minutes later when the bag was no longer available for quick access!! This kind gesture of hers made the bus ride a very nice, comfortable but smelly experience! I was not amused and almost sick myself by the end of it! Besides that the children were seriously wrestless and whiney the whole time!

It must be so tiring being a parent! Thanks Ma and Pa for all your patience hahahaha!

Well i arrived in Singapore and i was pleasantly surprised by the place. I only got here a couple of hours ago but first impressions are great! I will be here for the next few days so i will tell you more about it soon. I am staying at a hostel which is in the Indian area of the city known as Little India (duh) and its quite interesting beacuse the streets are full of indian shops with blaring indian music! Quite funny! **Chuli Chuli jatchamari..** hahahaha something like that!! :-)

Tom Yam Soup

Hi everyone! I'm back in Kuala Lumpur for a couple of days and it's so hot here! On the islands it was better cos at least there were some sea breezes whilst here it's just sticky heat! I'm nearing my 3 weeks landmark here in Malaysia and right now I am really really craving some normal food!!! HeLP! Also i'm kind of pissed off cos i've been eating spicy food almost everyday and i still can't get used to it! My favourite is Tom Yam which is a noodle soup with lots of veggies and tomatoes..but i'm always blowing my nose and coughing whilst eating it!

Masay food is quite nice too. At a food stall it's usually buffet style so they give you a plate of rice and then you can add the veggies and meat from the pots and pans on display. I think it's mostly a lot of fish.. i mean like small whole fish (head n all) and sometimes these deep fried sardines (also head and all) that look gross. I tasted one yesterday...it tasted just like salty cardboard. Hmmm. I usually just stick to veggies.

So today i woke up with 'hruq ta' stonku' and i'm sure it's a clear sign that my body is tired of all this weird food... so later i'll be out on a mission to track down this food place Mark mentioned somewhere near the petronas towers where i might indulge to my hearts content! :-)

Watermelon Freak!



Ok this started off as a sweet Christmas message to you all.. but after lots of hassles with my camera i realised that there was something wrong with the sound so it was gonna be a mute message! By then i was bored and tired and decided to make a stupid-mute video!

This is how i spend my time on the beach!!

Happy Christmas everyone!! Love you very much and miss you all!!

The lesson of the day!

Today i learnt that it pays to be friendly! hahahahah! I made friends with some locals who hang out at my hostel and later i met them on the beach and i was treated like a queen. They gave me a sunbed and even brought me drinks all day, and joked that i was their queen! Bloody right i felt like one!

I met up with a couple of people and we spent the afternoon chatting on the beach, and then met up again in the evening for a couple of drinks, followed by dinner, followed by a christmas eve party at a reggae bar! Hehehehehe lots of fun! Had a really nice time! Though i havent become a rasta girl yet ;-)
