The holiday that will begin tomorrow
Singapore is gonna be hectic …
- 3 groups of old friends.
- 2 groups of relatives.
- 1 Blinkymummy.
- X’Mas!
4 days.
KL would be more relaxed …
- 1 group of old friends.
- 2 groups of relatives.
- 1 YC.
- New Year!
5 days.
Penang/Langkawi would be bliss …
- 1 group of relatives
- Eat! Eat! Eat! Penang FKT, Kuay Teow Tng, Or-Chien … but mostly Penang FKT! And lots of Kopi-o-Ping! Penang coffee is different from the other places, I’m telling ya! (for more info on Penang cuisine, click here)
- Beach and bumming in Langkawi.
- Too much booze! Too much smoking! (becoz it’s all sooo very cheap there)
- Cough cough cough. Puke puke puke.
7 days.
Arrive back in Perth late Tuesday night (10th Jan). Go back to work the next day. And that ladies and gentlemen is my grand plan.

Lucky bastard. I’ll be at home cooking for the family, while friends and relatives walk in and out as they please, every one of them requiring more chocolate (which I will either have to buy or make) and more presents (ditto). Plus none of them celebrate Xmas except for one, so they won’t be bringing me any presents.
Somehow wish my flu would get worse. Then I can stay in bed all day.
laynie: wait…if they don’t celebrate Xmas why you buy them presents for? I say that if they don’t give out presents, then they don’t get presents themselves.
As for the food and rellies walking in and out, well I understand your pain.
Sometimes when one family among your relatives is the “hub” then everyone just visits the hub.
In this case, the hub is your family.
kynne: selamat petang!
Hehehe, selamat soreh Bapak Marcus, udah makan enggak? Ni nanti di Singapur, tinggal hotel di mana ya?
kynne: yes dah makan (think that’s ur question right? My Malay is suuuper rusty). Will be staying at Allson Hotel on Victoria St.
Ah ah, I used Indo Malay, hehehe.. Pandai you. Allson Hotel? Berapa charges dia eh? I should have offered you to stay at Royal Plaza on Scotts at Orchard, corporate rate with free minibar!
Word verification : *throws her sandal at a lizard* shwlplok!!
kynne: shite next time I know who to ask lah.
The rate at Allson’s is SGD108 per night.
Everyone is doing this word-verification interpretation thing. Heh.
iuzuyl => I uzu u!
Ah $108++ eh.. With Royal, I can get you $160++ with free minibar and free breakfast for one!
I uzu u?
Hehehehe…
leeqe : Ler, key. Leki(t) – sticky in Malay.
Happy Holiday and enjoy your hiatus!!
darkharf: I might still sneak in some blogging.
Otherwise, set my blog up on your Bloglines – you’d know whenever I’ve posted.
Have a great time, looks like I wont be able to catch up with you when I am in Perth then..haha..lucky you!!!
S$108 is ex for just a place to sleep. Looking at your schedule, you ain’t going to get much sleep anyway.
S$79 for Hotel 81… you get 1 mineral water 1 milo 1 coffee 1 tea 1 cup noodle free… ok, fuck the mineral water, just drink straight from the tap, you get more mineral that way.
But hey, you can get some company for the night just downstairs…
jjj: oh well!
emiryo: hahahah yeah man I do know it’s exp for a bed. But I wanted somewhere central and all the cheaper 3-stars were booked out.
That Hotel 81 sounds good yeah – even got cup noodles. Whahhaahah!
There’s an even cheaper option – in the Woodlands area, there’s a shophouse that’s been converted to a hostel. Called Hostel 166. Can’t remember how much, but was cheap – Bruce stayed there while he was in sg =]
starry: haha I shall keep yours and emiryo’s suggestion in mind for next time.
happy hols your mooines
merry xmas & happy new year, too!
lara: you too!
[...] I told you Penang was gonna be like this. The pictures that I will be posting when I get back to Perth should hopefully make up for this. [...]
