Back to reality...

The curse of me being bored of this strikes again, didn't it?

So many things has happened since my last update and I don't think it'll be fair to talk about them all at once since the space here is limited :)

I recently had the chance to look at some pictures of me that was taken by other people (my lawyers are looking into the lawsuits) and also the video of my recent vacation of Star Cruise to of all places, Langkawi and Penang. If we had knew earlier about the Tsunami, we would have cancelled the trip and save ourselves 900 bucks... (Eerrr yeah, surely we would have warn the authorities as well but we're talking about me now..) Instead we ended up 2 of the places you wonder why people go in the first place. Sometimes I do wonder why people escape civilization to well, go into another one.

What was so great about Langkawi? . Yes. . Maybe people will say it's the beaches, maybe they'll say it's the duty free shops or even maybe they'll say the Undersea World (whoever say that will get a good smacking from me though), but I bet Klang Valley alone have better things than it. Well, let's compare then.

Beaches? They have Pasir Mas or whatever, we have Pulau Ketam. And it even comes complete with it's own haunted house and beautiful underaged girls. 0-1

Duty free shops? They have Kuah Town, we have eerr... ok, Petaling Street. But fine, I can get ciggies duty free but alcohol is harder. 1-1

Undersea World? We have the magnificent Klang River. Oh look a fish, lets pay 40 bucks to look at it! ... Come to the Klang pasar pagi and you can see and even smell like a fish :) 1-2

So yay to Klang Valley.

Penang was slightly better because we had a good laugh there when bargaining with the sellers in Kek Lok Si Temple. But lets see.

Laksa? In here we can even throw in a cat for you if you're willing to pay. Can they do the same? Nooo. They have to remain original and stuff (with the ironic help of new age machines)

That's about it I think. They could give KL a serious run for the top spot of traffic jams and silly Hokkien accents though.

So why not look to other places that can serve you better in terms of enjoyment for your soul? Go to a place where modernity is what you will strive to want the second day there. I found myself happy with the fact that I have nothing electrical on me on my Thailand trip, no phone calls, computers, annoying msn message sounds, spams, friendster messages asking "DO U LIK SEX?? IF YES WAN MEET?" or the superficial looks we have to put on to have our pictures taken. If a place or scene is that memorable, we don't need a bloody picture to remind us of that, do we?

I guess what I'm trying to say is that if you ever ever ever plan for a holiday, make sure you're not planning it around a tsunami. And do they need a picture of them faking a smile to remind them of it? It's not my point but I do have one. I'd let you know once I find my way back to reality.
