wells, i'm back! haha.. really enjoyed the trip so much..
and its my 2nd with Ben. (2004 YDP counted???)
anyways.. was a 4 day, 3 night thing. lol..
Thursday:
left home at around 0705.. didn't really have a good start.. cuz the 3 of them were, well... a bit late.. but dad was pissed off though. haha..
we boarded the train at most 2 minutes before it left..
stupid custom officer took so long to check passport.. sheesh. oh yea.. and kel, ben and i couldn't get over ruiqi's small bag.. haha.. while the 3 of us were carrying relatively large bags, she was carrying a normal backpack, which wasn't very bloated either. maybe its cuz her clothes small. haha! yupp.. the train ride was very noisy.. didn't catch much sleep.. watched scooby doo 2 too!
reached KL central at around 4. had a long delay at JB station.. haha.. den we went for lunch/tea. haha.. sizzling mushroom and chicken noodles.. haha.. wasn't really nice though.. speaking bout food.. ruiqi couldn't really eat much cuz she had cough.. no dairy products (butter, milk, cream, cheese, etc), beef, fish, chicken (a little was ok though). haha.. poor her..
took the KMT comuter to telok gadong, where yinyin picked us up. haha.. was glad to see her, and to reach her home.. was really tired.. after that, we went for a show. or something like that. haha... so nice!!! bleahx.. the guys were late cuz of some.. er.. miscommunication? haha.. was great seeing tzewei, yen nee and joel again that night. haha..

Friday:
in the midst of painting toe nails and the girl talk, yin yin and rui qi sang me my first birthday song of the year. haha.. so sweeet! the third one who wished me was en shen.. haha.. he bought me a wallet nehx.. *wipes a tear away* so touched. fell asleep at 2. woke up at 0830.. got ready and left the house for mid valley. the entire train ride was made interesting by all the , , and other lame games. hhah.. so funny to see pp dunno the tricks u know.. but not funny when u dunno and everyone else knows. haha! den we went to shop shop shop.. Joshua met us there too! lol.. didn't buy much though.. just earrings and a pair of shoes.. had nice lunch though. haha.. after that, we went back to yinyin's house to eat dinner and go for bible class. haha.. learnt a great deal from uncle steven's lesson. lol.. and applied it immediately after that while yinyin was driving. lol! we went to tze wei's house to celebrate mine and his birthday. oh yes.. i almost forgot that Randall changed into the pink polo tee that we bought him. lol!!!!!! nice lehs.. lol..
as i was saying.. we went to tze wei's house.. had oreo cheese cake (thanks joel) some singing, bridge.. and TV. haha.. su yen remembers me u know!! i'm so happy.. its been more than a year.. but she remembers me!! haha.. took a photo with her..
ben's also really close to her.. maybe cuz he stayed at her house for the 4 days. haha.. she likes him so much! kelvin too! ruiqi too! haha.. she seems to like the 4 of us. haha..
yupp.. slept at about 2..

Saturday:
woke up at around 9.30.. this time late.. cuz there was the kawaii debbie to drive us to 1 utama. haha.. yupp.. Ben and kel came over at around 10, while we were still eating breakfast. haha.. after that.. we left for 1u. slept during the journey there. haha.. think all of us cept' deb slept. haha.. (imagine if she did too) haha.. when we got there.. we started shopping str8 away. haha.. and we tried on a lot of clothes. haha.. jonathan even snapped a few pics of ben and kel! lol!!!!!!!!!
bleahx.. dun tink i'd post em though.. wait they scold me.. bleahx..!
den we went for house fellowship.. something like cottage meeting.. but its for like, pp of all ages. haha.. den was ians turn to take us out.. we went for coffee.. den wanted to play dota.. but the cyber cafe full.. haha.. so couldn't. kel had coffee too.. so that night i tink he kept everyone awake too. lol.. ruiqi spent the early mornings writing heart-felt messages to klang breathren who took care of us, while i read memoirs of a geisha. haha.. i'm so lazy...

sunday:
got ready for worship and packed our bags.. den uncle alan made pancakes for breakfast. wonder when will dad ever do such a thing. haha.. yinyin wore really nice shoes.. haha.. and i wore my new heels! haa.. wonder if anyone noticed, but ben and kel were wearing black top and jeans, while ruiqi and i wore white top and black skirts. haha.. hmmm.. worship was pretty normal.. and i enjoyed the singing. haha.. wished there was more though. haha.. after that, we collected our bags and went to eat ba ku teh. lol.. was so nice.. haha.. should make it a tradition or sorts to eat BKT whenever we go to klang. haha! den the sad part came: saying goodbye..
to everyone cept the khoo family.. wahh.. like 5-part-torture lor.. 1st goodbye to debbie at church, 2nd to yinyin, joel and ian after lunch, den to sean, den to tze wei, yennee and auntie chong foo.. and lastly to suyen and uncle kayyeow.. haix.. couldn't help but feel sad when i saw su yen looking so glum. dunno whether it was because she was tired or sad.. seemed like sad.. i've never seen her cling on to anyone carrying her until that day.. and u know, it seems like she was hugging whoever was carrying her.. we took turns to carry/hug her.. and she didn't say anything at all.. finally, uncle kayyeow decided that they left us (the bus was damn late btw. argh!) and he took suyen in his arms. she burried her face but looked up only after they've walked a certain distance away.. we watched as they distanced, heavy hearted and gaze unbroken. i felt my tears glazing my eyes and tried to take my eyes off where i last saw them, before a chain of vehicles cut blocked my view.. i turned, only to see benjamin's face. at that moment, i burst out laughing. haha.. dunno why too.. like so anti climax right.. haha! anyways.. it'll be about a year or so till i can see her again, God willing..
on a lighter note, the bus came within 5 minutes after they left. the seats were quite comfy.. compared to the train.. but the driver smokes. T.T the smell was horrible.. yupp.. we played a few rounds of bridge.. slept a little.. talked.. stonned.. haha.. ben even said something that he has nv said to me before.. so sweet of him.. haha.. not gonna tell u guys what though.. muahaha.. lol! in the end, reached s'pore at about 9.30(?) yea.. was exhausted by then.. haha.. reached home slightly before 10. haha..

from this trip i've got to know much more bout my 3 companions, spent some time with the lovable klang brethren, learn more bout God, understand the meaning of hospitality, taste homemade pancakes, celebrate my birthday in another country, laughed a lot, shopped a lot, feel loved and loose more sleep. haha.. wells, in short, i couldn't enjoy the trip more.. we were really well taken care of and yea.. wells, i had extra TLC too! really thank God for our safety there.. and thanks to those who prayed for us too.. pictures in later posts k.. stay tuned!
