Merry Christmas!! Malaysia trip

25/12 Hello, Merry Christmas everyone! ^.^
I know, I am a bit late..
As you all know, 21/12/12 has passed without harm. on that day, I thought that there really was going to be an apocalypse since that day it was raining heavily and there was a lot of lightning which lit up the whole house but my father assured me and said that this world end thing is BULLSHIT. Soon the rain stopped and we all went to sleep. Rachel, Rowena and I played with koko's iPad until 12.10am (all the time we were playing fruit ninja multiplayer). The iPad battery was running low at 6% so we had to off it.

The next day, we all went to the lost world resort and stayed there for one night. My 'guest' finally left me so I could swim at the pool. There was sorta a lazy river but it wasn't 'lazy' enough so we had to wade through the water until the exit of the lazy river. In the middle of it was a statue of an elephant and the ambience was the sound of an elephant trumpeting which bugged me and my cousins. Next we went to a slide. Me and Rachel went to the slide as a pair and, on the float, we slid down the long and curving slide while screaming our lungs out. Rowena and Jonathan went together. Rowena had her photo taken while she was screaming.

Koko went with Jonathan again while the girls went to another fun and more thrilling slide which went in reverse after halfway. There was practically on one in line so we each had two turns (we had to go in pairs). It was very fun, like a mini roller coaster. The float first took us down really fast. Then it went up again and took us backwards. At that time, I thought that the float was going to flip! (Obviously it didn't)

 P.S. this isn't my photo. I did not take any photos in lost world..
Koko and Jonathan wanted to go to the slide so we waited for them in the hot spring. It was 38 degrees Celsius in there and it was HOT!! We were all like: Hot, HOT HOT!! AAH HOT!!   Anyway, soon we got used to it and dipped our whole body in it. Aunty Lynn said that the further we go into the pool the hotter it gets, highest temperature is 40 degrees Celsius. Smoke was coming out of the pool!
 
After that we went to eat lunch and continued with our play. We went to the tiger valley for a while just to explore. We saw 2 tigers. We all kept calling the tigers 'Richard Parker' (the tiger from Life of Pi). "Patience, Richard Parker!"
Then we went to the swan ride. We rode in pairs and treated it as bumper boats. Me and Rowena went in peace and touched the swans there.

Next we went to do tin mining (dulang washing). I was the first one to get how to do it. Jonathan, however, was more successful that me after a while. We all had back aches later...
 
P.P.S, THIS is my photo.. from now on too.
At night, me and Rachel slept in the living room together watching X factor, Rowena, Uncle Edward and Aunty Lynn slept in one room and the others slept in the other room.

The next day my family went to 外婆 house to give them a surprise visit While Rachel's side went elsewhere. My granddad was surprised to see us and grandma thought that koko was 'ah kee' (my cousin, now an adult, that went elsewhere to work.). They said that we have grown taller. Koko learnt how to ride a motorbike with the help of granddad. WITHOUT A LICENCE!

We had dinner and slept at their house. at night when I woke up, The dog was barking, chickens were clucking, koko was murmuring, daddy and Jonathan were snoring, so I couldn't sleep..
The next day, we left to look for Rachel and Co.

We went to an amazing forest bungalow with no doors, no air con, no WiFi and a lot of insects! there was a waterfall and swimming pool nearby, both are FREEZING!! We walked around a pathway and stuff. We went to the waterfall to swim first. It was like the Burmese pool. When we went in, the sand and rocks underneath cut our legs. the further in we went, the less painful it became but the higher the water level and colder! Jonathan and koko were the first ones to get used to the cold water, but I only could put my body in. My head could not take the cold. One time, the current was so strong that it almost swept me away! Luckily daddy was standing in the middle of the current. I hung on to him, refusing to let go. Because of that, daddy lost a slipper.. we had to search for it and i the end Uncle Edward found it!

Next we went to the small swimming pool. It was as cold as the waterfall but once we jumped into the pool, we got used to it. we raced daddy and I always won to him! :) Next we had a relay, 3 person in each team. Sadly, the boys won, even in the different combinations (Oldest to youngest vice-versa) Then we had to find as transparent bottle underwater. When I say TRANSPARENT, I mean INVISIBLE, practically! Underwater, You can't see the bottle at all! We all had fun.

We ate barbecued chicken, sausages, drank beer/orange juice and a lot of other stuff.

We slept comfortably at night and the next day we went back. 
before we went back, we took a few photos.
  
   
worse news is that my church does not need me to play the violin in church anymore!! :'(
WORST news is that we will have to go back to school soon!!! :( PSLE is coming..

Ah well, might as well.
Peace to the world!
