all the experiences.

unable to describe the emotions I'm going through now.

beginning of a new chapter in life.

thanks for the memories,

minta maaf minta ampun

kalau ada salah dan silap.

argh~

entah what else to say?

benci akan goodbyes.

GOODBYE then.

(for now at least)

spread our wings

and FLY!!!!

Siapa yang sangka
Bila tiba masa kita
Untuk pergi selamanya

Takkan terduga
Jika saat ni
Tuhan tentukan
Aku lah orangnya

Gelak tawa tangisan yang hiba
Kenangan kita masa di dunia
Alangkah indahnya jika
Kita mampu hidup selamanya…

...then went to fetch Pat...

...met Justyn at auto city and off we went to

the Pearl of the Orient...

...got lost finding for the hotel...

...it's like we knew where it was,

we could see it, but couldn't get to it...

the second shot must have been of a lorry or something .

...then we decided to walk along jalan Siam

because we wanted to cut back into the makan area again

and jalan Siam made sense direction-wise...

...and it turns out jalan Siam didn't have any crossroads at all...

...so we couldn't cut back into the makan area...

...and we had to walk the whole length of jalan Siam...

...we should have siam when we saw jalan Siam...

___Final Thoughts___

- thanks Seow Feng for the inspiration and hotel suggestion.

-random and unplanned is way more fun.

- if the hotel says no towels provided, means no towels provided. LOLx

- CLEAN floor mats can be used as towels. LOLx

- check your room 100% first before assuming there's no dustbin. LOLx

- "jauh perjalanan, luas pengetahuan" is so darn true.

- break out of your race shell and be MALAYSIAN!!!
