sat 29th july - singapore
last day in singapore today, we checked out of our hostel and moved to start the trip. omg the hangout hostel is wicked, free internet, veg out rooms, massive rooms, double beds..but the best bit is the rooftop sunbathing terrace, was not expecting accomodation like this! amie and i dumped out bags in the room and headed for the rooftop terrace to sunbath, was amazing view, lil pool and all wooded decking. then it started raining, think its coz we were in bikinis, had lunch then went back to the room for a nap!
in the evening, we meet the others in our group and our group leader Nuri. they are 18 of us in the group, all english expect one and good girl/boy mix. its like Big brother, the anticapation of meeting your new housemates and knowing that u will live with these ppl for 2 weeks. after Nuri ran through the internary, we headed to a food court for dinner and had our first tiger beer, got on really well with everyone, wicked ppl. a few of us then headed to a backpackers bar, then made our way to Clarke Quay...which was amazing, its like a riverside complex but so many bars!! amie went home after a bit, and me, lee, richard, pete and phil stayed out for few drinkios, thought it would be rude not to have a few singapore sling cocktials, drinks sssoooo expensive here though! had wicked wicked nite, going to make some cool friends, in bed at 4 gota be up at 7 :-( x
sunday 30th july- singapore - malaysia (melaka)
I am ill today...i have the bug...the travel bug. if u would like to make me feel better, treatment is avaivable but very very expensive..please send money to my account so that i can contuinue on my travels and not come home yet
having the best time ever, the group is amazing and doing some wicked things. after speaking to other travellers and they things they have done its made me want to do more....most ppl came from india or australia, one girl climbed mount everest, i wana do it all!
woke up early feeling very very rubbishio after nite out, left the hostel and crossed the malay border and headed for malaka. amie conducted her first illegal activity, she smuggled fruit across the border! naughty naughty.
today i had my first squat experience in malaysia, it was not nice, they are so gross...dirty, smelly and difficult to use.
checked into out new hotel this morning in malaka (malay city)....omg this trip gets better and better!! our room is in the elite suite, sharing with bex and sarah who are cool, got a lounge area.....and a rooftop jacuzzi and bbq area!! i cant believe all this!!! had a meeting with Nuri just so he could tell us whats to do here...then we all jumped in the jacuzzi for hour, very wrinkly!
in the evening at 7, we all went on trishaws, Nuri had organised it for us and the randomest thing i hav done yet! these werent normal trishaws they were pimped up trishaws, so difficult to explain but the pics will when i get home. these trishaw ppl are like boy racers, they alter their trishaw and go on cruises and compete against each other...they have sound systems, blinging lights, flowers....really crazy!!! had an hour tour round malaka, with the music blaring out!!
8 - we went out for a meal, to a place where they were holding a cuban nite, had ppl rolling cigars, salsa dancing (which they dragged us up to do), wicked saw our first ladyboy, ricardo look alike!!
went to a few bars before another late nite, im managing to survive on a few hour sleep a nite coz there is just so much happening....middle of the nite was woken up by the worst storm ever...so loud!!! over and out for now!!
