Feeling on top of the world

Listening to: Lara Fabian and Mario Frangouli - So in love
Feeling: Weary back but wide awake


A week back, me and my former colleagues went on a break to the cool heights of Fraser's Hill. Sarah S says it's gonna be a chillout weekend. The calm before the storm. Right... So I brought a book, Gameboy DS, enough clothes for 3 days, 2 decks of cards and off we went.

Departed from one of my colleague's house at about 11am and we reached (after a few mishaps) at about 1pm. First thing we did was unload the food and stuff that we brought hauled up. Apartment of choice was Silver Park Apartments and we were supposed to stay at the 3rd floor. I didn't exactly realize the huge amount of food that we had until each of us (there was 7 of us) had to make about 2 trips down to the car to bring up everything. We had about 3 boxes of food. Fishballs and a FIELD of veggies for steamboat (as it is the preferred food in cold places) and canned food (we could last the nuclear winter) and instant noodles just in case we get hungry (you think?) hahah. It was really funny that Sarah S wanted to hurry up and bring everything up because she was afraid our neighbors could see us bringing up so much food.

So, I guess you would have figured out that all we did was eat eat and eat. In fact we had the steamboat on the whole time so whoever wants to eat can eat then and there! It was crazy, we had junkfood and proper food as one of my colleagues got her relatives to make tom yam soup and rice wine chicken (both superb!!!)

Daphany brought coffee liquor that tasted abit like mocha latte. Hrmmm... T.T It tasted to damn good. Unfortunately, because sis had a performance in Johor, she took the family camera with her. I am left with my camera phone. So here are some pictures taken from the balcony of the apartment we stayed in...

Didn't take much pictures because all I did on the second day I was there was read. I finished the last book in the Chronicles of Narnia, The Last Battle. Started reading in the afternoon at the balcony with a steamy cup of coffee and ciggies with the wonderful view in front of me as company. The rest went off to check out the waterfalls. Didn't wanna go because I wanted to chill by myself...

The weather there was wonderful. Just nice cold.. Not super duper cold like the last time we went there. Like air conditioning at a nice chilly 16c.

Planning to go there again in February after Chinese New Year with Gem, G, Nini, Sarah N and gang... Would be fun to go there with crazy friends. Planning to chill AND get wasted. :p

Thinking out this trip made me wish that I didn't need to work. Maybe I should just quit and open up a Starfucks in Fraser's. Hmmm... that's a thought... Had been working the whole week. I think my brains are frying up..=.=

Time to sleep. The shoot's 6 hours away and I am kinda freaking out.
