dry spell

not from sex!!! but from blogging... what u all thinking ah?

well as written before bout my KL trip, it was some trip... screwed and yet not so screwed...

*blur

so anyway, am back now in penang.. my baby followed me back from KL.. so nice.. it's been a while since we both sat on the bus and heading for the same destination. he spent a few days with me here in penang... didn't do much though.. had no car to go around, so stayed in the house for most of the time till i started nagging him... he was sleeping during the day (as u all know my baby's sleeping habits) and that lead us to going out in the evening and HAD to take the cab back which is $$ and fortunately happened only once.. other times, we were out with my mum running some errands...

*don't think having my mum and my baby in the same car is awkward.. in fact i feel that they love each others company!!! HAHAHAHAH

went back to BM for the weekend, dad had a cycling trip to Cameron Highlands.. boy i was excited... yes i had to sacrifice my getting-up-at-1pm routine but hey! it's a rare chance that i get to go to places like this and also it's my first time up there!!!

so what happened was, i got up at 4.15am or so on sunday... supposed to meet my dad's friend at 5am to push off to cameron... there we were at 4.50am at the meeting place and his friend only came at 5.30am!!! sheesh... just imagine how sleepy i was!!!

fine, we left and reached Simpang Pulai (just after Ipoh) to meet the rest of the cycling gang... i was given the honour to be their "backup".. which means driving the car at the average of 20 KM/hr for 60 KM following them for just-in-case purposes and also for water if they need any... but basically i was driving for my dad as the rest were way way ahead of him... do u have any idea how SLOW driving 20 KM/hr is??? sometimes it was bearly 10KM/hr too!!! sure was bored!!

the trip up was nice, nice view, no traffic and cooling (about the cold.. that's another story).. it took dad about 3 hours to get up there... not to Cameron Highlands itself but up to Kampung Raja (or something like that)... i thought they'd go up to Cameron (cause i haven't been up there before) but they didn't... had LOUSY lunch there and in no time it was time to cycle back... how they managed to cycle that much in a day, i don't know....

the trip down was much faster, i guess it's because of the down hill... it was 3 something when we reached Simpang Pulai... u think that being surrounded by sweating men puts u on... think again!!! NOT!!!!! eww eewww eeeewwwww..... they were all wet and just imagine the smell!!.. and another thing, it's a rare sight to see so many ppl dismantling their bycles to put in their cars/jeeps.. it's like how u see it at some cycling event like Le Tour De Langkawi or something...

on the way, i stopped at a strawberry farm, got some strawberries to munch in the car and on the way back got more strawberries, strawberry cookies and roses!! man... the flowers there are cheap! 3 packets for RM10!! and when i went home i counted i had about 31 or 32 stalks of roses!! not bad a deal uh?

so now half of the flowers are nicely blooming at home in BM and half here in penang... what a sight.. LOVELY!!!! i got red ones, yellow ones, peach ones and a new colour, purple ones!! LOVELY!!!! maybe i should just be a florist!!!!
