~The Shortest Trip!~

Like wat May Ching said and i find it really super fitting:"we went to Langkawi just to buy chocolates!!"u know why??another disaster!on Monday after my previous blog,i arrived safely at Langkawi but there was an uncomfortable feeling in my guts as compare to my flight to Kuching,this time around,the air turbalance was more frequent and the plane was not as steady as the previous..and my,how my ear hurts wen i landed..really really painful,and its oni on the left side ear the window..Well,the disaster was another earthquake at Sumatera,and parts of the Penisular can feel the tremor too,yes,including my dear holiday spot..Langkawi islands..goodness..it was 12.09am,while all of us just finished watching Wong Fei Hong starring JAckie Chan,and were about to fall asleep due to tiredness (and some drunkness,me,hehe,tried a bottle of gin n lemonade,nice)wen i felt tat it sudden shakes too much..i woke up and asked the others in the room whether they fel it too??and lucky i spoke too cuz mum,may n mis...wan tought they were dreaming..soon,the rest of teachers at tat floor were all questioning each other whether they too felt the tremor..and all agreed its best to go down to the lobby..WEll,seems we were not the early birds,lots of the teachers were already there..one looking practically silly cuz he mnaged to get his bag,luggage n all,but clad oni in sarong n wthout slippers!!haha..anyhow,the teachers start to quetoion n like wat they are well known for,make hell of a noise there,chatting about the tremore,demanding to see the hotel manager,the authorites for not taking action etc..may ching called her father and we got some latest news bout the earthquake..ritcher scale 8.2 and all..my gosh,when i heard about the new that there might be a tsunami in 2 hours or 3 hours later,i start to panic..

Maybe they think i'm some kinda paranoid but,arrghhh..this is our life man,why sit there and wait for the almighty killer wave to arrive??shouldn't we grab something,and move to higher ground??though its just a warning but the authorities..walau,they rather sit there,talk about the possibilitis,the quake n stuff n not budge!mom!!if u had let me rent the car that day,i wud have moved before u can even say :"tsunami!"arrghhh,frust..and so,we sat there,feeding the mosqutoes for 3 hours,occasionally going up the room again,hear the stupid newscaster repeating the same old news over n over for the 4th time..well,wen she said,its advisable fo ppl includng the LANGKAWI islands,then oni mum start to budge,great huh?walau,i really panicked gila and been sms-ing friends around..one stupid fella think i'm playing a joke somemore,another 2 din reply at all..and another one...dunno wat to say lar..some really sweet friends like Ghai Leong,Min Ley n James really called to check upon my condition,and really appreciate Emerson,Chee Wei and Kar Yee's concern too..like what May Ching said,it really is the most suitable time to ask silly questions about nature disaster tat we thought will never befall us like:"What if a Tsnami hits right now,wat will u save?"hah..believe me or not,i was wearing my contact lenses at that moment,and i said,CONTECT LENSES!!haha..well,it was a good experience,having to do some many stuff
in the name of emergency evacuation,like i was really suprised that i packed some chocolates,water n even changed to sports shoes (run for my life marr..)this is the time where nobody really cares how u look or wat silly gimmicks u are doing,ppl have no time to care..well,as usual,the Malaysian authorities gave word that immediate action will be taken but lo-and-behold,the van of "superior" authorties oni came like..2hours later?Malaysian style..anyhow,after everyone was quite certain(i don't)that the tsunami won't hit the hotel(or just plain stupid ignorant)we all went back to our rooms,watched the news..as the newscaster play a tennis-match-like of passing here to u,Nizam,back to u,Charles thing,we were getting too exhausted to care and doozed off..stupid newscaster..(no points for guessing who stayed the lastest to listen to any updates about the earthquake)

well,we had no choice but follow my "super" mom's order and come back with her by bus.(of cuz not without some "battle")that cost us,2air tickets,and an aching butt for sitting in the bus for 10solid hours!gosh..and my all-wrong sleepng time now..gotta faint soon..well,due to my lack of sleep to this worry-too-much-syndrome (woke up a few times of any sign of tsunami or strong winds)and the bus was too bumpy,slow and made too many stopsi'm gonna dose off now..so,just glad to be back..like the show in the Million Dollar Baby,we "fly there,drove back",and on the way back,i thought of many things..If i were to die at the tsunami(God forbid),moments before it,who wud i like to meet and what wud i like to say?scrolling down to family and friends,and i found that the answer..no one..(sad to say..)no one is really that dear to me right now,that i felt really care enough for me and will deeply miss me shud i be gone..sad,really sad...
