I always hated goodbyes, even though some were meant to be...

Hi.

I feel really, really sad right now.
And by the time you're reading this, it'll already be 2009.
I loved this year, I really did.
It brought me so much things and I just can't handle the thought it's going away.
I really hated the school year, but everything outside of it was just INSANELY AMAZING.
I wanted to do it justice by ending this year's blog with a BANG.
I don't see how I can but I really wanted to share with you something I wrote for the holidays, especially this year's.
I hope you like it and do comment; I'd really appreciate it.

Holidays In The Sun And Rain

It took me a decade and six years to figure out
It took me two sleepless nights
And five cans of ginger beer to finally think about
The end and when it comes and how it goes
When will I ever
Ever get to see you stay
When the night falls and takes away the light of day
When we stumble down to make our way

Up and down the country
Like my grades in school
You know how hot it can be but you think this is cool
Can a D60 capture every tear
Every year
There will be some place to be
There will be some things to come and go
Please, don't go

Never start what you don't want to end
Like being on an endless road
You might not get to see your friends
But I savor every moment
In my heart I feel afraid
I don't ever want this moment to go away

Buy me a T-shirt
I'd like to see how it fits
Can you fix me a chocolate shake
I need my medicine
So long
Goodbye
I don't think I'll miss you enough
But I know I'll never see you stay

Let my hug bring you through all your sorrow
Let my sorrow loosen your hug
No, I don't want to say tomorrow
Because with every dawn of a new day
Marks the end of one
And with that erases every memory we had to share

Never start what you don't want to end
Like being on an endless road
You might not get to see your friends
But I savor every moment
In my heart I feel afraid
Because I fear this moment would go away

Will it be better or will it be worse
Next year
Can I know how good it'll feel to see me empty my wallet
Or my mother's purse
First, there was the day when all was dark
But I know
I know
I know how I'd feel when everything falls apart

Never start what you don't want to end
Like being on an endless road
You might not get to see your friends
But I savor every moment
In my heart I feel afraid
Because I fear this moment would go away

Via a cellphone I react to a feeling
In the moonlit night
I felt a sadness creeping
Keep me from myself
I live a life of terror
If I were lost or insecure
I wouldn't even know if I were a him or a her

Goodbye 2008, hello 2009.
Oh, and not to forget.
Here's a shout-out to two people whose birthday is tomorrow.

*************************************************************************************

Ahmad Fariq bin Yosman

I know you're a pain in the ass sometimes, most of the times, actually, but hey, if it weren't for you I wouldn't be as miserable as I am right now.
It's ok, I like it.
Happy Birthday, Budak.
Hope you grow up someday.

Nurfarrahana Zain

Yeah, sorry I don't have a picture of you and that I only wrote YOUR name but hey, Happy Birthday, Farra.
You look really different.

*************************************************************************************

There's something about a year that you'll always remember it by; I'll remember this one by how I just realized that.

2009...

Hi.
The post today will summarize everything that happened in 2008, I hope.
Ok, well, ALMOST everything.
I mean, I don't remember everything, right?
Tomorrow's post will feature something special that I'll share but you'll have to wait for tomorrow's post to know what it is.
Well then, here goes.
2008 was/is an AWESOME year for me.
Some highlights are as follows:

1. I learned a hell of a lot of things.
2. I write better and with more sense.
3. I now know how to be confident with myself.
4. I now know how to be a very bad guy.
5. I now know how to talk to girls ... online.
6. I have had more practice in playing the guitar.
7. I am closer to my cousins that are now known as THE COOL COUSINS (Nana, Rain, Azri, Farhan and myself).

15. I got more respect from my classmates.
16. I lost weight.

23. I can finally buy clothes I couldn't even fit in the past.
24. I'm a lot COOLER than I was last year.

30. Somebody's into me.
31. People appreciate and respect me more.
    
32. I can scream, like, SCREAMO kind of scream.
    
33. The best HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI ever.
    
34. Last but not least, my first blog; NECKTIES, GIRLS, GUITARS AND A BUNCH OF EMOTIONS.

Some of the lows of 2008 are:

1. I still keep doing my bad habits.
2. I waste time that should've been used to the fullest.
3. I still don't pray all 5 prayers a day, everyday.
4. I got depressed a lot.
5. I still am.
6. I don't smile that much anymore.
7. I cut myself a lot of times.
8. People around me still think I'm perfect.
9. Expectations from everybody didn't get any lower.
10. I saw people change and do stuff they should never even do.
11. I cried a lot.
12. I was ignored a lot.
13. I was practically invisible even though I have a body the size of a refrigerator.
14. I got more sensitive.
15. I lost a lot of money.
16. I rarely remember to do stuff, mostly important ones.
17. I easily forget things.
18. 2008 won't last forever.
19. I couldn't spend more time with my cousins.
20. I always acted like a total idiot around people that I really liked.
21. I never thought twice before doing something.
22. I always thought that I never deserved to live and I still do.
23. I still don't know where I'm going or what I'll be doing in the future.
24. I wish there were more lows than highs.

Well, I figure that that's enough.
Next year, I won't be updating this blog.
I figure, that I'll be posting on this blog starting 2010, if I live that long.
I'm thinking of a new blog next year.
You just wait and see.

Oh, here is the new blog's URL:
http://suicidemonkeys-storyoftheyear.blogspot.com

Please check in for tomorrow's post here as it will be the last post of 2008.
It will be posted around 11.30 pm if nothing comes up then.
Heh.

I apologize for taking your time; mostly because I can NEVER give it back.

Endings are the beginnings of a new ending...

Hi.
I SERIOUSLY think that the title is funny.
I think it's true, too.
Anyway.
I don't how I'm going to wrap up my blog for 2008, but I have some ideas.
Heh.
You just wait, it's going to be ... pleasant.
Not too long, not too short.
Just nice.
So, today we went to JUSCO Tebrau City.
Walked around, went into shops, looked at some things.
I didn't buy anything.
Nothing was really interesting me.
I wanted to buy a green T-shirt but there weren't any that attracted me.
I only had RM50 to spend so I wasn't really in the mood to shop.
Next year I'll shop again.
We ate lunch at Pizza Hut.
No pictures to upload.
Dad didn't bring his D60.
"Malas," he said.
"Jalan-jalan macam ni bawak la yang boleh masuk poket. Mommy kan ada Canon. Kau pun ada kan?".
Couldn't really argue with that.
I just thought that his camera was the best and this blog deserved awesome pictures in it.
That's all.
Heh.
Oh well, if you don't have it then you don't have it.
I made Mikel a MySpace account.
If any of you want to add him, this is his URL:
http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewProfile&friendID=441142835
Do add him.
He's really new to MySpace so go easy on him.
Whatever that means.
Anyway, I kind of left out the pictures in Penang from Padang Kota in Part 2 of "Holidays in the sun and rain...", so here they are:
Me and the BEST cousin ever!
THE COOL COUSINS (not in picture: Arin)

To quote a cousin of mine: "Look in my two eyes..."
Wiping sweat off my face.

Again, with Nana.

Well, then, people.
That's all for today.
Heh.

TRYING is the best thing man can offer; SUCCESS is the reward for trying your best.

Who says I'm not screamo?!

Hi.
So, the other day I went back to KL.
After all the dramatic writing, about how I'd miss Nana and all and everything, I went back to KL.
But I only stayed there for one night.
FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY.
Like those ads you see on marquees or something.
It wasn't enough that I couldn't stay there longer, but then I found out that we weren't going to join in the Bowling Tournament.
It was firstly Dad's idea to hold one, then he was the one who bailed out.
I felt pretty shitty.
So shitty, that I regret ever following him to KL that day.
Damn it, I was so pissed, I didn't even cry.
I got over it eventually.
Azri and his family came down to KL the next day I came home from KL.
Then, he and Nana and the rest of the guys there got to bowl, TWO TIMES.
On tow consecutive nights, they bowled.
Now, who wouldn't feel shitty after getting news like that?
I know who WOULD, and that would be ME.
But I'm over it.
SERIOUSLY.
I'm not mad anymore, just disappointed.
The point is, when you say something that you don't mean, DON'T SAY IT IN THE FIRST PLACE.
It hurts other people more than you can imagine.
Heh.
Oh well, this post was actually delayed for, like, three days or something.
Since Christmas Eve, would you believe it?
I would.
I mean, it's me, right?
Oh, and the other day, I bought The Final Riot! by Paramore.

I don't think I'll watch it until the end of next year.
It's a CD/DVD thing like The Black Parade Is Dead! and Road to Revolution: Live at Milton Keynes.
I kind of promised Nana that I would preserve the wrapping until I get to watch it with her.
I don't know if that was a smart move but I really want to watch it for the first time with her.
She means that much to me.

Signs don't really tell you where to go; they just tell you where NOT to go.

Holidays in the sun and rain... (Part 2)

Hi.

If you're reading this and wondering why it says "Part 2" in the title, it means you have to scroll down to read "Part 1" before reading this.
This way, you can avoid confusion and i don't have to write about the last part all over again.
So, now that that's done, where was I?
Oh yeah.

14th December 2008
Today we checked out of the hotel.
We were heading for Cik Cha's house for lunch and Dad wanted to exchange cars for the trip to Penang.
So, we got our stuff, I had to repack and rearrange the dirty clothes into one bag and the clean clothes into another.
Hard work, but I guess I don't mind.
We had our lunch at the cafe downstairs at the lobby.
I had Mee Goreng Mamak and Hot Tea.
Here's a pretty nice picture from that place.
After resting and all, we went on our way to Penang in the Rexton.
Acul helped me transfer the stuff and arrange them in the trunk of the Rexton.
On the way to Penang, we stopped at Pelita Nasi Knadar for dinner.
I think it was somewhere around 11 at that time and we were really hungry.
There won't be any pictures from there because Dad said that we would have to pay more if we looked like we were RICH.
So he didn't take out his D60 and the pictures from my camera aren't good.
In fact, they SUCK.
I want that D60.
I WANT it.
Then, after another hour or so in the car, we finally arrived at Gurney Hotel, one of the best hotels I have ever stayed at.
Gurney Hotel = AWESOMENESS
You see, last year, around this time of year, the whole family from my Mom's side went to Penang for a family vacation.
Almost everybody was there.
This year was kind of low key, I don't know why though.
Heh.

15th December 2008
We all woke up kind of early that day.
We went down to breakfast at the first floor, above the ground floor.
And after that, we had this sort of photoshoot outside the hotel.
There were a lot of pictures but not all of them turned out great and I looked really silly in some of them.
Here's the best pick:

I really, really like this one. FYI, I took the picture.


Then Mom told us that we were going to Achik's house for lunch and afterwards we were going to go to either Queensbay Mall or Gurney Plaza.
We were going to get to meet Azri; one of the most AWESOME cousins I have.
Heh.
Before that we stayed in the room for a while.
Mom told me to take some istures of the view from the room.
We were at the 19th floor so there had to be some view, right?


Those were the only decent pictures I took of tthe view.
Then Nana and I camwhored!



ALL the shoes brought to Penang. Well, there were 4 more pairs of work shoes but they're pretty much irrelevant.


Azri was awaiting for us when we arrived at Achik's house.
He had to show us the parking space Achik had given us.
Then we went upstairs and played GTA: San Andreas.
Azri and Zahid had already taken down cheats off the internet so we played like crazy.
Drove tanks around town, flying jets and helicopters and stuff.
Zahid even did something very DISGUSTING.
Hahaha.
Anyway, I didn't eat lunch since I already had a very heavy breakfast.
I even had to hang the clothes like I always do at home.
What, even in Penang?!
Yeah, that's me, the hanging guy.
Some time in the afternoon we decided to go to Queensbay Mall.
It's this huge mall located near ... Queensbay, I think.
I saw Shahrul there, too.
He's my tuition classmate.
Fancy meeting him there
I bought perfume from Adidas, Nana finally got herself a bag and I don't know what else we bought.
We went Subaidah, yeah, Subaidah, like the one in Malacca, for dinner.
It was ok, I guess.
Azri and Zahid followed us back to the hotel to stay for the next three days or so.
I turned in kind of early that night.
I didn't feel really cheery or anything that night.
I still don't really know why.

16th December 2008
I don't remember if we did or did not go swimming today.
I really don't remember.
I think we did.
Cik Zul brought us lunch that day, so that means we did go swimming!
Hahaha.

Oh, and after we got back from swimming, the Cool Cousins (Nana, Azri, Farhan and I) showered TOGETHER!

It was really fun and the shower fit us all, thankfully.
Nothing much happened during the day and at night, we went to eat at ... Subaidah; AGAIN.
But this was a different Subaidah than yesterday's.
I think Aboy arrived some time that day.
Man, I forgot!!!
Azri looked like a real PSYCHO, wearing his cap covering his eyes, his round, sinister eyes.
SERIOUSLY.
Aboy had a great time camwhoring throughout the whole time.
There weren't any interesting pictures to show you but here's some:




I did some drawing when we got back to the hotel.
And before we slept, Nana, Azri, Farhan and I played this word game where a person says an abbreviation of words and the others have to expand them.
It's kind of hard to explain but playing it is very, very easy.

17th December 2008
We did more swimming today.
Achik brought us lunch, rice, fish and egg.
And we had dinner at Gurney Plaza.
The 'young people' consisting of Aboy (not so young), Nana, Azri, Zahid, Farhan, Fariq and I WALKED there.
Took some pictures on the way there too but not with the D60.
I don't know why this day seems awfully short but I assure, a lot happened.
Or maybe, a little happened, but happened for a very long time.
Huh.
Maybe.
All the 'young people' went to the arcade.
First we played Daytona USA.
Then, Nana and I played The House of the Dead 4.
It was super SCARY.
We even had this guy and his family watch us in AMAZEMENT.
We only got to Chapter 2 before I we died.
We were supposed to watch The Day the Earth Stood Still last night, but Aboy bought the wrong tickets so we had to watch it tonight.
It started at 12.30 am.
It was good.
I really liked it because of the message it had to send to the viewers where we humans have to change our way of living because all that we do nowadays is pollute the Earth and all.
Keanu Reeves looked really cool in the suit.
Hahaha.
We played the word game again.
This time, Aboy joined.
Suddenly, when we were playing, I think it was Nana's turn when she fell asleep, and there was this weird silent moment, then everyone fell asleep, too.

18th December 2008
More swimming.
We walked to Khaleel for lunch.
I think mamak restaurants are rip offs.
Lunch that day was a total of RM71.40.
Pretty shitty stuff if you ask me.
I didn't go to dinner that night.
I don't know.
I just didn't want to pig out and stuff so I decided to stay at the hotel room alone.
The guys came bak at 2 because there was this awful traffic jam and all.
Heh.
I spent the whole night online.
Surfing the internet anywhere I could.
Aboy also went back to KL that night.
He had something to do for the next three days so he said that he wanted to go home early.

19th December 2008
MORE SWIMMING.
That's all I can remember for the day entertainment.
Then we went to Padang Kota for dinner.
It's a real 'neck for neck' kind of food court place.
If you sit at one table, and someguys come to you for orders, then you can only order your food from the guys that come to you.
And, if you're sitting near to one foodstall, then you can only order from that foodstall, even if the foodstall you usually order your food from is right across the area.
I mean, it's easier to say that the place is divided into quadrants.
People from the first quadrant can't order from the stalls in the other quadrants.
Something like that.
The food there wasn't at all satisfying except for the pasembur.
The pasembur there is THE BEST.
I don't know why, but the D60 wasn't there.
After dinner, we took a stroll down breezy seaside.
There are some pictures from there but Dad hasn't transfered them into Mom's pendrive so I don't have them.
I'll try to get them and upload them as soon as I feel like I want to.
Azri and Zahid went home that night.

20th December 2008
Today we were packing up and heading for home.
But not necessarily straight to Johor.
We had to stop at KL because Dad had some work the next day at Putrajaya.
We checked out sometime around 10.30 am and Dad dropped us off at Achik's house where we stayed there until 2.30 pm.
Then we went to BJ Mall or whatever it's called to play some bowling!
But then Dad called and said that we didn't have time and all but w still did get to play.
Farhan won overall with 60 something points.
Zahid came in second, Nana and Azri beat me and i came in fourth.
Aiman did really great, even for his age.
He's 7 this year, I think.
We ate at some place next to a cemetery.
Mee Pitchay is really, really GREAT.
If you're anywhere in Penang, you have to try it.
Aiman was elected the Chief of the Cool table but I don't know for how long his reign will be.
Then we set off for KL where I listened to Fariq's PSP all trip long.
When we got there, we ate at some restaurant where they put on The Blues Brothers.
It's a really good movie.
Then we met up with Arin, Mak, Tok Min, Cik Apis and Cik Along at Cik Cha's house.
They arrived there the day before and they were just on their way to Cik Pais' house to stay there for the night.
Arin didn't though.
He wanted to hang out with us so he stayed.
We watched The Rocker before going to bed that night.

21st December 2008
I really HATED today.
I had to part with the best cousin EVER, namely Nana.
She was stuck with us through the whole trip up and down the country since the start of the school holidays.
She's always been the one to make normal moments seem a lot more fun and awesome.
I can't imagine anyone in this world would have a cousin like her, except for all my other cousins of course.
I hugged and said my goodbyes before getting into the car returning to Johor.
I kind of cried when I listened to I Caught Myself by Paramore becasue that song was the theme song for our vacation and listening to it and realising that Nana wasn't there with us, I really felt sad.
I really miss her and all my other cousins.
I don't know why though, because I see almost every week.
But this time, it was different.
We were very close throughtout the holidays and parting with her was almost unbearable.
Heh.
To be honest, I really think that I'd rather spend my time with my cousins rather than I'd spend it with my friends.
I know for a fact that I have the BEST cousins a person could ever have.
And we will always be the Cool Cousins.

So that concludes the trip from Johor to KL to Malacca to Kl to Penang to KL to Johor.
I really like travelling, especially with my cousins and family.
I had a really great time throughtout the whole trip and I can't wait for next year's.
However, the holidays aren't over yet and there's still a lot more that I can do during these last days of holidays.
So, I'll stop thinking of next year, and continue relaxing this year.

If I'm not the happiest man alive, then maybe I'm the happiest man DEAD.

Holidays in the sun and rain... (Part 1)

Hi.

I feel kind of regretful that I chose to blog about the whole of the 10 day trip up and down the country instead of blogging everyday while on the trip, but I think that this will be the longest if not the best post I've ever written.
I really hope that people other than my family will read this, I want some RECOGNITION.
Well, anyway, I thought of writing this blog in a manner that it rhymes but let's just see how it turns out.
So, here goes.

11th December 2008
I don't remember what time I woke up but I do remember that we had to pack our clothes for a week.
That meant 7 clothes for morning and 7 clothes for night.
I basically had to empty my wardrobe and it turned out that most of my clothes that I delegated for Penang were in BLACK.
I didn't really mind that I had really dark clothes and all, because they make me look 'smaller' than I really am.
Gosh, this whole holiday I've been eating my mouth off.
SERIOUSLY.
I'm going to need to get back in shape when school starts next year.
But I don't want to think about next year when the school holidays aren't over yet.
We set out around 12.30 pm, I think.
I brought a lot of things with me and the car's trunk was so full, it didn't even fit AIR.
Heh.
I wanted to listen to Linkin Park's new album, Road to Revolution: Live at Milton Keynes, but I heard one song, Jigga What/Faint and it had a lot of profanity in it so I thought I'd just listen to it on Farhan's PSP, but he was already hogging it.
I think we were in Malacca when I finally got to borrow it.
The record is total AWESOMENESS.
It's a CD/DVD thing, kind of like Live in Texas.
I was kind of baffled when Dad didn't exit into Subang Jaya like he usually does, instead he went straight and the next thing I knew, we were in Putrajaya.
It turned out that Dad had some work to do and we had to wait for him in Alamanda.
We had a lot of time to walk around.
First, we went to al-Ikhsan, where I told mom that I had insufficient shorts, so I had to try out like 8 different shorts and finally picked 3.
Mom bought them.
I really like the Adidas one, it's really comfortable.
Then, we went into Nike, there wasn't much there.
After that, we checked out Tropicana Life.
I tell you, that place is cool.
I saw this one shirt that looked really nice and it was size L.
I tried it on and I fit it perfectly.
Can you believe it?
Size L.
So I bought that one and also a cap, because I didn't own one and I don't know.
i just thought that I needed to have one.
Then we went upstairs to see Quiksilver and Billabong.
The Quiksilver there isn't as awesome as the one at Pavillion and the Billabong store wasn't at all big.
Mom wanted us to grab something to eat so we went to The Chicken Rice Shop.
I didn't want to eat there because I knew that dinner would be much better.
It always is when we were in KL.
Then Dad came by to pick us up to go to Cik Cha's house.
We ate at Hartamas Square that night.
Aboy went off to help Kak Eija (Aboy told me that 'E' comes before 'I' and not the other way around) with her sister's wedding.
The food there is really good.
When we got home, everyone was ready to go to bed.
Instead of watching a DVD like we usually do, Farhan, Nana and I watched Linkin Park - Road to Revolution: Live at Milton Keynes.
The performance was AMAZING.
Totally outstanding.
My favourite song was Points of Authority which you can only watch after finishing the whole DVD and unlocking the speacial content.
Weird.

12th december 2008
Today we were going to Malacca because Mom had this conference thingy there.
But before that we went to Putrajaya at around 3 pm.
Dad had more work there and Mom had to bring the car.
Nana was going to tag along with us to Malacca and then to Penang.
I really LOVE it when she's around.
It always makes the trip seem a lot more fun.
That morning, Farhan and Nana told me that Cik Cha was giving directions in her SLEEP.
Hahaha.
I was already asleep then but it was kind of like a premonition.
A vision, before something like that really comes true.
And it did.
Cik Cha had to give Mom directions to Putrajaya because Dad left the car and went there by LRT or monorail or whatever that thing is.
So we all headed to Alamanda Putrajaya, again.
We walked around and went into shops and stuff.
Nana was looking for a school bag that she really wanted.
So we went into the same stores/shops as we did yesterday and I bought a belt at Tropicana Life.
I'm starting to really like that place.
Fariq bought a bag and Farhan got himself a long sleeved T-shirt.
Then we headed to the food court where we ate Crispy Popiah.
Those are the best things I've ever tasted, SERIOUSLY.
Oh, the reason there hasn't been any pictures yet is because Dad's too shy to use his D60.
And because he's the one who's working so the D60 wasn't really in our possession.
We got out of there and headed for Malacca at about 5.00 pm.
We arrived at Ancasa Hotel in Malacca at about 7.00 pm.
The hotel utterly SUCKED.
You go in through the door, you see a TV set, two beds and no fridge.
What kind of a hotel is that?
Well, as Farhan finally pointed out, "Diorang sengaja buat macam ni sebab nak suruh orang keluar. Tak yah duduk dalam bilik je".
Dad was always saying he wanted to go back to Johor.
Heh.
What kind of a holiday would that have been?
We ate our dinner at Subaidah, a mamak restaurant.
Nowadays, I feel pretty ok with the idea of eating at places like that.
I mean, the food is good so why would I hate it?
I had to sleep on the floor that night because I was coughing or for some other reason I certainly don't know.
Before we went out for dinner, we, the kids, cam whored with Dad's D60.
Here are the SOME of them:












Well, that's most of the best shots taken that night.

13th December 2008
Today I woke up for Subuh then I went back to sleep.
Then I woke up at about 10.30 am.
Woke the other guys up because Dad wanted to bring us out to lunch.
Mom wasn't going to join us throughtout the day because she's the one working.
Well, we were supposed to go out for breakfast but then the kids didn't get ready until 11.30 so we just went straight ahead to lunch.
We went to Mahkota Parade.
At first we just walked around and then when we say Kenny Roger's Roasters we decided to eat there.
I haven't eaten at Kenny Roger's for a long time so Dad had to do most of the ordering.
I swear, the waiter guy looked almost identical to Haniesha's boyfriend, Shah.
But I'm sure he wasn't because he looked older than 17.
I don't know the names of the food we ate but here are some pictures taken there:






After we finished our meal we went to walk around Mahkota Parade.
Farhan bought a bag at Body Glove.
He has been looking for one since last week so he was pleased to have finally found one.
Now only Nana is left without a school bag.
I bought mine just the other day for RM119.
It's a green Adidas messenger bag.
There really wasn't much to see at Mahkota Parade so we moved on to go to Dataran Pahlawan.
God, the place is HUGE.
I don't know for how long is spands but it spands long.
First we walked around with Dad here and there.
Then he went to get a foot massage somewhere so he let us walk around ourselves.
We went to Nike, Quiksilver/Roxy, Body Glove and even Padini Authentics.
We bought nothing and sudden;y after Body Glove, we lost Farhan.
Yeah, he disappeared somewhere so we waited for him to reappear.
I got to handle the D60 so I took some pictures with it while waiting.
Here they are:
This is seriously an AWESOME picture.

Nana took this one.

After that we finally met up with dad and we headed off to the Menara Taming Sari.
Before that we took some pictures with the Christmas decorations outside the Megamall.


I didn't realise it until I looked at the time, but we spent a total of 5 hours at Dataran Pahlawan!
No wonder I was so tired.
Heh.
On the way there, we stopped at McDonald's for a drink and to meet up with Cik Cha.
She came down from KL to join us for dinner later.
She was accompanied by Acul.
And, as you may have predicted, we took more pictures.


This is me being TIRED.




On the way to the Menara Taming Sari, we had to go by the Christ Church.
I don't know what that place is really called and I know somebody will eventually tell me what it is but it's the place where there're these stalls and trishaws and all that are located in front of this big red building.
There are also some historical landmarks and big ships that are made into museums and canons and whatnot.
As tourists with a very fine camera, we took more pictures.
Boy, with all these pictures, I'm never going to get this post done.
I mean, I can only upload 5 pictures at a time, and that takes like 10 minutes to finish.
I have tons of pictures to upload and God I am so sleepy.
Heh.
Well, here are the pictures.
We even took pictures with a snake!







Then there was the big wheel thing from the war times.



And we did go to that ship museum I told you about.
They have air-conditioning inside.
It was pretty cold actually.



There were some pictures from when we were inside the ship but they didn't turn out so well so I left them out.
And after that we went to the TLDM Museum.





We finally arrived at the Menara Taming Sari at 7 pm.
Somehow we got free tickets and only had to wait in line like th rest of the people.
There were a few pictures taken there but I'll only these since I think they're the best choice and because I'm in them.


Except this one, though.

After all that walking around, taking pictures and laughing and all, we finally had dinner at the Seri Muara Alai place.
It's a restaurant that serves seafood as its main dish.
I hate looking at myself eat so I'll just show you the food and not the people eating them.



The remains of what we ate.

We all set for home after that.
Cik Cha and Acul went back to KL while we went back to the hotel.
I got blisters from walking around in shoes without socks.
Damn my misjudgment.

I think I'll stop right here.
I'm sorry but I'm really sleepy right now.
It's 1.30 am and I've been sitting in front of my laptop for 3 hours now and there are about 7 or more days to blog about.
I think I'll leave it here and continue tomorrow when I wake up.
Hope you guys don't mind, I surely don't.
Wait for Part 2 and hopefully there won't be a Part 3.
Till then, people.

I can't stand knowing that if I do, I'd be more exposed to death than I am sitting down.
