Jus came back from Kukup, went there with my family for a short stay. Its a pretty nice place, get to see and play alot of things that wasn't available in singapore. The people there lead very simple and routine life, no hectic lifestyles, no deadlines, no rush hour..no nothing. However, for city people like myself, a 1-2 night stay would be maximum, cos it can get quite boring after some time. one word of advise thou, dun expect the a nice chalet, we were dumbfounded when we reach the so called "chalet"..haha..but it's quite clean la..jus a bit worn out..

Well...the fun part was that we get to play with firecrackers, it has been banned in singapore for decades.. so other than our parents, it was the first time me and my cousins laid our hands on those stuff. Its VERY exciting and fun to play with those firecrackers. It comes in many different kinds, they have the very loud kind, where its just sound and nothing else, and they have the beautiful type where it will give out dazzling sparkles. They have the lit and throw kind, and they have the lit and it'll fly kind..too many to list all..and its evident from the fact that we spent RM106 buying them. Its quite a sum given the fact that the standard of living is so low in that place.

Its understandable why singapore govt wants to ban them, cos its reallie quite dangerous, especially alot of the firecrackers are explosive, a few of my cousins and my uncle were injured.

Nevertheless, it was an enjoyable and memorable trip, cos it was the 1st time me and my family went to such a place. Usually they would chose to go to places where there's casino, like genting or cruise! I bet no one goes up to genting or go on cruises as frequently as my family does!! oh..btw, they are going AGAIN to both, cruise on the 23-25 dec, and genting from the 26-28 Dec, one after another. but PLEASE believe me, they are NOT compulsive gamblers..jus for fun.

Okie..i digressed.. Anyway, we get to play with stuff we never would have had the chance to if we stayed in singapore & the adults get to re-live their childhood days and we dun have to do the cooking ourselves, as its included in the "package". Its quite a deal, 36 bucks for 1 night stay, 6 meals a day, KTV and Mahjong. What more can we ask for?

BACK!!!

Sorry for not updating my blog for almost a month..and thanks to my dear sister ah yan for reminding me..heez

okie..updates..bought a new desktop last sat after concluding that its time for my laptop to R.I.P and finally i can hear sound coming out of my computer after 2 years!!
now that the exams are over..all of my tuitions are coming to an end...all the students are in their holiday mood..well..they well deserved the break...
attended a relative's wedding on sat at the Tung Luk restaurant...the food not bad..quite nice..the ambience of the restaurant..erm..passable..not as good as hotel thou..

recently i am addicted to the american hit " Sex and the city"...OMG~~~~ fantastic show..all girls should watch..but its MA15+..so onli those above 15 can watch....the show is hilarious..esp when samatha appears..all the sleazy scenes will come..and i love the shoes that they have..but its damn ex..USD400++..
but wat draws me to the show is thoughts provoking questions that modern women faces..they will reallie make u ponder even after the show is over...and also one can reallie see a culture and lifestyle that is so different from singapore.

mmm..actually it has always been my dream to go to a country that i like..and to stay there for a long period of time..to experience the different lifestyles and cultures..but then again..i think it would be hard for my dream to be realised..anyway..its jus a dream..heez
