don't get cocky!

right so here's one cocky fellow.

ok well the images don't seem to be loading on stupid blogger. 

suffice to say, i found out that jeremy quek and a few others (like joel ong and tim wan) have been right about my intelligence all along. or rather, the lack of it. because genius me intended to bring my mac along, snickering happily that THIS YEAR i have something to fight the immense boredom in malaysia.

i DID bring the mac. i stuffed it in my bag and everything. in fact, i intended to do this 'photo journal' during the malaysia trip. the only problem was that i forgot to bring the adaptor. so with 4 hours of battery life on my macbook, i ended up with a 3kg ipod and little more than no self esteem.

this year was pretty good. my usually unreasonable mother decided to be a little more motherly and less unreasonable, and we did not visit any relatives save for our immediate cousins. (does that mean that we can decide to be cousins at a later stage in life? or have i used immediate wrongly?)

after Batu Pahat i travelled to malacca. and it was there i found out that gula melaka(the magic stuff they put into their chendol that makes their chendol taste so foreign compared to singapore) is just plain old boring caramel. probably with some other parts. but oh, if I can taste caramel, it means there's a hell lot of caramel. that said, malaysia's food is waaay better than singapore's food. hate to say it, but it's true man. 

what made my experience a little more tragic was that my cousin's house had wireless! not to get all patronizing, but last year when i visited, their means of connectivity was just via the LAN cable. and this year they had wireless!!! imagine if i had my macbook AND adaptor! i was probably more green than the pomelo on my cousin's table, what with watching my sis go on msn, facebook, getting all sorts of messages(ok i'm also jealous that SHE gets messages while I don't because she's a pretty girl and i'm not.) while i had to watch malaysian chinese sing new year songs and trying to convince people that they were very happy and enthusiastic about continuing the great legacy of chinese tradition.

by the way, the original plan was to have lots and lots of photos. but until now, i couldn't really upload any. this sucks man. 

Malaysia has a lot more stripes on the road than singapore. and i don't mean the pedestrian crossings. i mean the kind that ridge out, and made me think 'HEY THAT WAS FUN LETS GO OVER MORE' when i was a kid. but now, it just made the urgency of my toilet break even more urgent. fortunately there was no loss of self control.

the journey back was like 6 hours. there was actually an accident in between the countries at the 2nd link(TAKE THAT YOU LANE CUTTERS) which caused the entire queue to come to a standstill for twenty minutes. and then the horny buggers started their stuff. i hate those car horns. it doesn't improve the traffic situation, but it sure fires you up! 

ok that seems to be all. blogger apparently doesn't seem very keen on letting you upload your photos, just to let you know.
