over the moutains and the seas valleys, your river runs with love for me

yes, i went to a moutain, then a valley
moutain = genting
valley = midvalley mega mall, KL

the trip there
me + family - brother + neighbour went to m'sia!

neighbour include:
father: uncle D
mother: aunty steph
sons (x3): by age
oldest/jonathan, aka johnny boy
timothy, aka my favourite boy boy!
youngest/zachary, aka zack
daughter: hannahbeth, aka hannah
maid: jie jie lena

the boys took turns to sit in our car.. they FOUGHT to sit in our car. apparently hannah was too noisy. haha. johnny says she talks to herself. and whines alot. heh.

we had portable entertainment, so the ride there was shiok.
watching DVD:


pigging out in the car with loads of snacks:




lots of comfy pillows for the best quality snooze:




played with the walkie talkie too! talked with the boys from the other car:

meet baa baa black sheep. our tissue sheep.

ohya. zac was so cute la. he was like "er.. where is our hotel ah? how the hotel stay on the moutain one? i mean like, the top of the moutain is so sharp... you mean they chop of the top part and build the hotel there?"

hahaha. cute man. heh. moutain drawings are dillusional. the give kids the wrong impression of moutains.

we stopped at pizza hut for lunch. and it was a join outlet with KFC. halfway through lunch, chicky (kfc mascot) poped out. and hannah started to cry. i was like, no need scared one hannah! then i realise she was chewing her food like mad and crying like shit at the same time.. then rane told me that she told hannah "if you dont finish your food ah, chicky will come and carry you away!"
smart alex la. make hannah cry. haha. but it was damn effective la.
everytime she never eat her food we would threaten her abt chicky and then, POOF, like magic, the food disappears in her mouth. haha.

after lunch tim came over.. he was super talkative sia. so noisy. non stop man. story after story. tell us his whooole life story la. then got one part he said..."you know hor, i have a friend who is very fat. he is so fat, he is in the tuff club. so fat leh. THAT fat. he is really fat you know? very fat one. like, super fat. EVEN FATTER THAN YOU..."
i was like WHAT?? hahaha. silly boy. but he's so cute. i like him. he eats SUPER neatly and never leaves a single grain on his plate! even if he's half asleep while eating or super full. GOOD HABBIT! and aunt steph says she didnt train him. even better! so guai! and cutee! and he's super nice to his siblings too! according to aunt steph, he put his shoes back on the rack nicely when they return home. the rest just run in the house and anyhow leave their shoes lying about. he would then take THEIR shoes and put it on the rack for them. so nicee la. haha. and he's super cute, he pronounces KL as KWALAR LUMPER/LAMPA. haha. got many many more la. he's just damn cute la. haha.


the first stop
hotel Awana! [halfway up the moutain to genting!]
AWANA SOUNDS LIKE I WANNA...
haha. i wanna go there again! haha
check it out man.




haha. we were bored there. so we took some siao pictures.
cant wait to head up to genting!


rane and hannah







we are watching youu.

haha. i have small eyes. heh.
maybe cos i caught a bad bad flu. then had to rest duo duo. sensitive nose la.


too cold there i guess. but i wonder why. i thought as you go up the moutain you get NEARER to the sun.. ??

in the morning, hannah and the boys crashed our room. and when i say morning, i mean MORNING. BRIGHT AND EARLY.
and me? err.. zombie-fied, ku ku head. sotong-ish. blur block. still lost somewhere in reen's la la land.



this picture clearly reflects it. eyes cannot even open properly.

guess what's next?

as if waking me up is not enough..
they jump on my bed.
oh wow. THE JOY. of kids, making a racket, at an unearthly hour.



but aww.. she's soooo cute. AND I'M SO NICE. i dont hold grudges against her for it. i love her! cute!

but everything always has a climatic end... she fell off the bed! somehow i expected it. then: WAILS + MOTHER RUSHING IN + LOTS OF "SEE LA! JUMP LA! SEE WHAT HAPPEN??" + PUT SUGAR ON HER LIP WOUND. (sugar from the hotel coffee table.)

then as usual, she contiunes to jump again. and the celling fan is rotating, just metres above her head.. then suddenly...

no la. just kidding.
THAT would just be grossssss.
which reminds me..

ONE LITTLE MONKEY JUMPING ON THE BED.
ONE FELL DOWN AND HIT HER HEAD.
MUMMY CALLED THE DOCTOR AND THE DOCTOR SAID.
NO MORE MONKEYS JUMPING ON THE BED!

for you people who had been deprived of a happy childhood and have no idea what jittery rubbish that was, it is a nursery riddle song thingy.

it's a wonder how fast children recover


she's so happy.. as if nothing happened.

haha. then my silly sister joined them in jumping too. then later she was like.. eh? jumping makes you wna pung sai. why ah? i'm like "must be inertia la."

because you jump up ma, then the food stays at it's original position for a while which is lower than where is was because you jump UP. (you know.. due to inertia?) get it? oh NEVER MIND.


subsequently,
"reen jie jie! what's this?"
"snores.."
"REEN JIE JIE!!!!!"
"...uh..."
"what is this?"
"telephone."
"i want to call rane jie jie."
"rane jie jie is here. call what?"
"then i wna call pa pa."

*dials the room to room thingy.

"hello papa? where are you?.... in the room ah? oh.... i'm in rane jie jie room. okay. bye bye. i wanna call ma ma."

"REEN JIE JIE!!!!"
"....w..h.at?.."
"i wna call ma ma."
"..uh... again?"
"no. just now i called pa pa. now i wna call ma ma"

*dials the same room number

"hello ma ma?... this is hannah. where are you?... oh. in the room ah? which room?.. your room ah? oh... where is papa? in the room? oh.. okay. bye bye."

"REEN JIE JIEEEE!!!!!"
"okay okay. who you wna call now???"
"i wanna call you! (:"
"awww. so cute. but you cant call me."
"why?"
"because i'm here."

*she runs to the other room and asks her kor kor to call me.
cute. but after a while.. quite stupid. haha.



then my sister, thinks she sooo smart. teaches hannah how to call. hahaha. then now hannah thinks she knows how to call and anyhow presses numbers. and when we try to help, she says "noooo!! mei mei call by mei mei's self!"

then timothy will be like "yi kor help you?" (so sweet!)
and she'll go "no! noo! nooooooo!"
super cute. but in a whiney way..

awww.. just look at her! sooo cute can?


future operater!

btw, she calls zac "san kor" and timothy "yi kor" and johnny "kor kor" and herself "mei mei".. i wonder what happen to "er kor?"


genting
we finally reached genting! yayy!

we are very giam people. so we kicked the moneh faced bell boy away and stole his trolley thingy. self-service cheaper. no need to give tips.

haha. as you can see, the children ASPIRE to be bell boys.
either that or they think they are luggages.



taking over the trolley.

heh. actually we didnt kick the bell boy away la. and we are not giam la. haha. just wanted to add some humor! heh. we found the trolley at the basement and sort of "borrowed" it.

oh ya, here's a tip. if you ever plan to bring chips up to genting? DONT. check this out man.



due to the immense pressure, our doritos exploded. and good for us, early lunch :)
but this dno what funny packet of chips has better quality packaging i guess. so didnt burst.

later we decided to head down to the snack store to replenish our supplies.. and lo and behold:







oooh. looks like the chips in the stores came up the same way we did. also fat fat one. haha.

sorry. no pics of the rides. i could not afford to bring my camera phone. with all the EXTREME rides, it could fall out of my pocket! haha. NOT WORTH RISKING.

BUT JUST FYI:
I sat
3 times of TOGGAMA
7 times on CYCLONE
4 times on FLYING DRAGON
1 GO KART
5 times on THE STUPID FLYING AEROPLANE with hannah and the boys
2 times on JUMBO. with hannah and the boys.
1 merry go round. with hannah and the boys
1 dinosaur land. with the boys.
yes, childish. but the aim of the trip was to bond with the neighbours, yes?
2 times BUMBER CARS
2 times indoor roller coaster
0 times TEACUP.
who in the right mind would wna sit the teacup? okay, actually everyone did except me. heh. but it's so rotate-ty and giddy and.. oooh.
it's just a silly dumb ride that rotates you round a rotating cup which is rotating on a rotating platform which rotates all the other rotating platforms. how FUN.

i didnt sit the water rides because it was freezing like dno what up there. plus i over heard aunt steph saying the temp was "below 20 degrees."

and in my mind i pictured " -20 degrees "
and i thought "then the water which splash on me would turn to ice! and my shirt would harden! no way am i going to sit the wet rides."

haha. so dumb hor. actually she meant like 18 degrees or smthg.. like below 20? haha.

hannah beth on a mini car ride


mushroom farm
of course besides all the fun there must be something EDUCATIONAL right? so we went to the mushroom farm (:


heh. check this out man. this is a type of mushroom. the SHAGGY MANE. what a silly name. and it looks like a chicken leg. haha. no wonder its chinese name is "ji tui gu"



and this looks like a coral! so pretty!


haha! woah. they even have mushroom CHIPS??? right. potato chips, mushroom chips? hmm.. ANYONE?


i thought these lolipop was quite cute.. reminds me of us! haha! weird and crazy. yet fun and different and very.. rojak??

seahorse foutain


ohya, my neighbour realised that their car got scratched ON PURPOSE last night. the scratch was sooo long. all the way from the head lights there to the back side of the car.



apparently the culprit's hand was itchy but they scratch a car instead.
stupid people.

i didnt have time to take pictures of the beautiful scenery.. but i tried to take some on the way down the "turn here turn there" giddy trip down the moutain..







ilove clouds. so pretty.

then another time i was like "if you ever get lost in this big mega mall, just look for MPH and stay there. okay?" (they love books)
and he replied "but if i'm lost i wont know where is MPH. because i'm lost."
haha. then i said, "just go up to someone and say, HEY! YOU! YES YOU! TELL ME WHERE IS MPH! or i'll use me beetle card to kill you... like that he'll def show you the way one.."

heh. to think that i was scared to travel out of the country in case of bombing of whtever.. i even wrote a will to stand by.. hahaha! so silly, i knw. heh.

anw, i wna thank God for something too! i almost scalded myself! or rather rane almost killed me. haha.
you see, i was busy practicing my new tooth pick trick at the dinner table (the only place toothpicks are in abundance) when my clumsy, butterfinger sister topple over her cup of boiling hot ching ying dno what tea. thank God for my light-speed, super ultra pro and quick reflexes, i manage to siam (escape) the tragedy. imagine what would have happen to my thighs?? i was like, wearing shorts? urm.. probably the skin would crumple and "qi pao", as in have "bubbles".. eeeww. thank GOD man.

anw, one last note. my brother didnt come with us. and yes, i missed him. though he's weird at some times..
here are TEN things about kor kor :

1. no one to say "aiya. just buy la. if cannot finish i help you eat."
2. no one to tell me impt things such as "dont put your head under the log ride cart thing just to stay dry. because the impact will break your neck."
3. no one to tell me past funny experiences
4. no one to take super ultra long to brush teeth so i'll have half an hour more to snooze
5. one less person to carry the shopping things
6. no one to laugh at stupid stuff with. esp the kind of jokes adults will never get and children think they get. but only WE get it.
7. no one to back up my arguments with mummy
8. no one to sit go kart with, adults think it's simlar to driving. kids are too small.
9. no one to volunteer to sleep on the sleeping bag on the hard floor. so the big jie jie has to do it. aka ME.
10. lastly, no big brother to protect you from who knows what.

you'll never appreciate it till it's gone. how true.
thank GOD for a big brother (:
