it was a rainy when h come from kl to manjung. i was very affraid that h would not show up since h likes to play around with going down to manjung.

after all i confirm that h is on a bus. but h still refused to inform where h would go.

after office hour has ended i rush to manjung bus station to fetch h but h still not show up. then i have to ask h where is h now.

i woke H up early in the morning as he requested soo that H will not miss bus to manjung.

then when H arrived at manjung after a 3hours journey by bus from penang to manjung. H called
me at about 11.50am. i was shocked and rushly try to finish my job to meet H.

then we chek in to Kwest Hotel. Standard queen for RM55, very budget hotel. Then the love sparks...

... t seen before. They are everywhere and make a huge amount of noise at feeding time.

We are off tomorrow to go to another Island called Langkawi, this is a bigger island at the North West coast of Malaysia. This has a lot of tourism as it is a Duty free island.......there is also a rumour that JD is only 8 pound a bottle and beer is cheaper than water :0)........the next blog might have a few HicUps in!!!!

... out with. As soon as we arrived I knew I'd made the right call. Paradise! What a georgeous place. Pristine beaches, clear water, great people, the works. Our daily routine was soon established: wake up late morning; wander down to the beach and splash around for an hour or so; grab some lunch; go back to the beach until sunset; spend the evening eating and drinking; go back into the sea late at night to swim with the phospherence; go to bed around 3 or 4 ...

... hotel resort complex, so, bit the bullet & stayed there a couple of nights, quite expensive, but included brekky & dinner, which was nice, swimming pool, **** live band, cable tv, all the trimmings etc, not what i'm used to, & really against my ethos of travelling ...

... beach to ourselves. We stayed at a nice chalet at the Nipah Bay Villa complex (RM60 for a 2-person chalet with a/c). The best restaurant in town in TJ's, a shack serving local and western food. Very good and cheap, but man it takes long to get the food. After writing down your order it may take up to an hour to get it - even if it's a sandwich. Still, worth it, especially for dinner when you can point at a fresh fish to be grilled. The ...

Malaysia is an hour ahead of Vietnam/Thailand so not a big issue to get up early and just as well as I was woken by my aunt praying before the alarm went off today! She's a Buddhist so prays twice a day for about half hour and then meditates. I think we managed to do all the best sites in Penang today (Pulau Pinang is a island off the coast of Malaysia about 4 hours from Kuala Lumpur): - Kek Lok Si temple - is massive and ...

... all night. That is until the power went out after an extremely loud crack of thunder. We thought we were back in Bermuda during this storm. We opened the curtains to watch the light show. Once the heavy rains subsided, the frogs started up their chorus again. These regular-sized frogs have a very deep and melodious croak. Regardless of the distractions: the frogs, the lightening, the lights turning on and off, the heavy rain, the wind and the nagging fear of bed bugs ...

... providing that one of us agrees to stand although we still have to pay the fair for two people nonetheless. Too tired and desperate to argue the point, we buy our two tickets and wait for the bus. As we sit in the station on our bags we feel a little uneasy. There are groups of local youths hanging around the bus station in a dodgy and somewhat menacing kind of way and we do not feel comfortable in the slightest. It seems we have become the latest attraction for them ...

... and had a terrifically marv-e-lo time. Pulau Pangkor is off the West Coast and about 140 km north of KL. Mommy didn't want us to go to the East Coast because it is supposedly expensive and dangerous. Anyway, last Wednesday, the 14th or so, Markus, Moshe, Pat, and I took a bus from KL to Ipoh. It was express, semi-air-conditioned, and only cost M$8! The trip was not overly exciting. Markus and I played a game of Othello and spent a long time talking about ...
