kt: day one

dear emilyn...

as planned...cherap n i left for kt from the putra bus station...bus was 40 minutes late...so departed at 11.40 pm...typical malaysian punctuality...anywayz...thank God for my windbreaker...bus' sub-zero temperature would've frozen me to death...but couldn't sleep anywayz...friggin bus driver probably thought he was n f1 friver...driving at a reckless speed on roads that were being repaired n corneering without brakes...so there i was...drifting in n out of sleep...worrying bout my life...heh...

anywayz...arrived safely in kt the next morning at about 7.15 am...cherap's dad took us home...nice place...a fusion of a modern brickhouse n a traditional wooden house fashioned like a typical malay kampung house...fascinating!...spooky: his house is situated in front of a graveyard...anywyaz...had some breakfast...kt style...cheap but portions r friggin small...so u end up spending the same amount for two or three portions to satisfy the same diet requirement...anywayz, finally got some good quality shut-eye till bout noon...

later...went to a kenduri kahwin with cherap's family...thank God i learnt how to eat with my hands in college or i'd have made a fool out of myself since no forks or spoons were provided...obviously, they weren't expecting a chinese guy for lunch...heh...only problem was my long nails...not that they were dirty but it made eating quite hard...realized it too late...gonna cut them off after writing this...

in the evening...picked up azam, shue n her lil sis from their houses with cherap's car...got lost at shue's...heh...who'd have thought she lived in such n isolated place on the far outskirts of town...heh...we were all asking her if she had electricity n phone access there...heh...poor girl to get stuck with us teasers...anywayz...went to this beach carnival at pantai batu burok...basically like a pasar malam by the beach...lots of stalls selling stuffs such as food, clothes n all...had n interesting dinner of aiskrim goreng...heh...a paradoxical name, don't u think...unbelievable but not impossible...later took a stroll on the beach...sound of waves n touch of wind...sand under feat n stars above head...company of best friends at the eastern coast on a moonlit night...what more could u have asked for?...it is times like these that i just thank God for the simple things in life that we can take pleasure of...

about 10.30 pm...sent shue home...half excited n half afraid...driving down a long, dark n desolate road...no incident though...not sure if i should b thankful or disappointed...didn't go into shue's house...was late n we didn't want her folks to start having any pre-conceived thoughts...anywayz...sent azam back next...stopped by his house...pretty much the same like cherap's but much more modern...didn't c much of the insides though...jus the living room as his parents served us some late supper of cake n coffee... before cherap n i headed home

that's about it actually...there's so much more that i could write...but it would probably bore u to death...what with my thoughts, opinions, emotions n all...so i guess i'll just stop here...wait for day two...heh
