11:51 AM

That was a great short break that I had. Yes I know I haven't been to school for the past week and I have stuff to catch up in school. Hopefully its all good. The first thing Dez told me when he saw me was that I missed 2 chapters of physics and that they have started Mechanics in Maths already. Man! And then something he held caught my eye. A brand new VAIO! wow... hes so blessed to get the new model. Its kindda small to me tho' but it sure looks cool.

Okay back to my vacation story. So firstly my grandad and I arrived there on tues evening. The flight was so short man! I mean you when you take off the seat belt sign is on. Then it goes off when you are cruising smoothly in the air. You look around and out the window for a bit. Close your eyes for a while then the next thing you hear is the annoucement that you are landing. And the seat belt sign comes on again. I mean it was practically a 20 min flight. I never tried travelling to KK by car. So yeah.. forgive me if i'm complaining the trip is short. We stayed at the Pacific Magellan. The hotel was kindda bustling with ppl because the hotel was hosting the APAC conference this year or something like that.

That night we went for a seafood dinner by the river. And the food was greeeeat.. so fresh and yummy. There was a tribal, local dance performance. You know like the bamboo dance and some other stuff. And I think the male dancers were supposed to represent the native headhunters because Sabah ppl were originally headhunters heheh.. They kept on making weird shouts and noises when they danced. Trust me, my bros and I could not abstain ourselves from giggling here and there. It was rather amusing. When we returned back to the hotel, we played a lil' scrabble and watched a bit of 'Faulty Towers'

WEDNESDAY... We went snorkelling at Pulau Manukan which was a short boat trip away from the hotel itself. The weather was perrrfect. Not a too hot and no rainy clouds were in sight. And the water was so clear. The fish were so cute and colourful. Didn't manage to touch any tho. They were simply too fast. We didn't snorkel in deep water, just at the shallow end. It was fun all the same. And then we had a good lunch on the island as well. I had chicken rice =P and yeah the breeze was blowing. It was all so nice. In the afternoon I took a nap because I was so tired after the long morning. At night we went to eat at a chinese restaurant called 'King Hu'(funny name) which has one of the best Peking Duck in town. The food was simply scrumptious. And I enjoyed dining there. That night we spent time seeking God and fellowshiped together. And we also watched some more of 'Faulty Towers' after that. Man that John Cleese guy is really funny. He always cracks me up.

THURSDAY.. This was the day I was waiting for because it was the day that I could go SHOPPING!!!! heheh... I didn't buy alot of things but I sure did spend a fair bit. Esprit, Mango, Roxy, Quiksilver you name it. It was there for the trying and taking but it was all so expensive so I had to watch my expenditure. But I guess you can say that I'm satisfied with the things I bought. hehe.. Since CNY is around the corner Warisan Square was having this 'Ang Pow Dip' thing whereby whenever you enter a shop, they let you draw out a card and sometimes it says '25%' or '18%' and stuff like that and then whatever you buy from that shop will have that amount of discount off. And when you spend our $100 in one single receipt, you get to spin and win. Its like a wheel of fortune but it has names of various stores and whatever store you land on when you spin it, you get money vouchers or discount vouchers. Its like their way of making you shop even more! hahaha...We had lunch at 'Secret Recipe' because we got so many vouchers for that cafe from spinning the wheel. And then we went back to the hotel to rest a while then off to the aiport. We were too early to check in at the airport so we went to KFC to eat something. hehe.. the flight back felt even shorter then the flight there!

And well even tho' it was a short holiday, I enjoyed it very very much. Thanks to my daddy who planned it all out. <3>
