My Vacation

Yup yup yup, went on a road trip to Malaysia over the weekend with Clinton, Alice, Lenny and Jennifer! It was a long time since we had a road trip. It was all the way back in 1998 when we went on a road trip in Australia! We drove from Melbourne to Sdyney and finally ended up in Gold Coast! Those were the days!

Well, driving up in Malaysia is a first of many things for me. Well, it was

i) My first road trip there
ii) My first time driving there
iii) My first time driving at abour 140km/h. hahaahaaa....

Clint's Toyota Vios was manual and it took me a while to get used to it! I actually put into gear 2 when i was supposed to reverse and i forgot to step on the clutch when slowing down. Tell tale signs of a automatic driver. But its like learning to ride a bike, u never forget!

Well, we set off at 6am in the morning and we had Mc Donald's breakfast, courteousy of Miss Tjam, who was kind enough to heat them up before leaving home.

The journey in Malaysia was filled with puns, sun and tons of fun! haha! I cannot understand sometimes how the Malaysian do stuff but me and Clint sure found it funny(not haha funny but kaoz funny) I shall elabourate on one incident to prove my point!

The last time we went to Malaysia, we stopped at Baskin Robins(BR) and we wanted to have ice cream. So here was the conversation, roughly:

Me: Hi, we would like to have some ice cream

BR : Okie, how much you want?

Me: I would like to have 2 scoops please

BR: Sorry, we run out of 2 scoops.

Me: huh? Okie, then what do u have?

BR: You can have our 3 scoop then.

Me: Wait wait! So, u are saying u run out of 2 scoop but u can give us 3 scoop?

BR: Yes, sir!

Me:......................

Anway, take a trip to Malaysia and experience the wonderful stuff. Trust me, it will tickle u non stop! I picked up a few new words like Lobby( spelled Lobi in Malay). Wouldn't life be simpler if we just adopted spelling like Malaysia? Its simple and to the point! lol!

Okie, besides a fun trip, the down side was i fell sick on Sunday itself and i needed to rest till Wednesday! Well, i am feeling much better and going back to work tomorrow! Sigh! I wonder if my mailbox has flooded? Sigh!

In a nutshell, it was a really enjoyable trip and the consensus was we should do this more often! I thank the Lord for blessing this road trip and being with us and yes, i had to skip Church last Sunday but i will be back this Sunday again! Its weird to skip service these days and i am glad i felt that way! hee hee! I do hope to plan one that does not coincide with a Sunday. That would be cool!

Praise God!

Amen!
