It’s difficult for me to really write about Malaysia since I didn’t get to experience the country the way I have with Singapore. The whole weekend was pretty much spent shuffling around from one tourist trap to another. Don’t get me wrong though–I really enjoyed myself during the past few days. It’s been a long time since I’ve had mindless fun. But if it were up to me, I would rather walk around unfamiliar streets than visit all the tourist spots recommended by airport brochures. It’s a good thing Nic’s dad paid for everything, otherwise I really would be penniless. Being a tourist is damn expensive.

We spent Saturday at Genting, which is basically a huge theme park high up in the mountains and about an hour away from Kuala Lumpur by bus. All afternoon, Nic and I rode thrill rides and roller coasters until I felt like my intestines inconveniently relocated themselves to a place somewhere near my head. Accomodations were at the Theme Park Hotel, which I think is the most bizarre place I’ve ever stayed in. It was a little too…cheerful and carnival-like for my tastes. For instance, the ashtrays were these creepy-looking smiling teddy bears. The whole place reminded me of Silent Hill 3, particularly of the area where you have to wander around a carnival. I kept expecting the world to go dark and for the building to fill up with ghost children holding knives and bloodied stuffed animals. I don’t know, maybe I just have a strange sense of what’s creepy and what’s not.

we were at Kuala Lumpur, which reminded me a whole lot of Makati except there were more Indians and Muslims about. We didn’t get to see the city much but instead spent all afternoon inside the Petronas Towers and Times Square, where Nic and I again rode roller coasters and thrill rides til standing still on the ground felt like a sweet sweet blessing to us. The bus ride to Singapore was awesome, mainly because the seats were practically beds and we had our own TVs and could choose which movies to watch. It’s been ages since I’ve seen any Disney movies so I watched that til I dropped dead from exhaustion.

Since pictures say a lot more than words can when it comes to touristy destinations, I shall direct you to the album of the Malaysia trip. I also added some more pictures from Nic’s camera during Day 2 of Singapore (more pictures of the park + House of Condoms).
