Hotliday!

So it's been some time. Was wondering what I'd write about if i did. Because really it's just been a collection of small things. The little things. Good idea?

I've been back for a couple of days already.
It was a terrible journey (as usual) tiring and this time being wedged in between two people - an old lady who accused me of carrying illegal stuff on the plane (just because i managed to get a bottle of water pass security and on board) and another guy who.. long story short - a lot of awkward eye-contact in the airport when we didn't know we were going to the same place on the same flight, and then we ended up sitting next to each other on a midnight flight. It was awkward, I couldn't sleep. Because I was in the centre and the plane was ridiculously cramped up. (and that too, a mas flight - MH my asss)

And the first day was mainly sleeping. Recovering from all that lack of sleep over night. And the first night was lovely lovely hawker food. Something called pai ti and some wan tan mee, some thicker version of it, and sting ray which was just yum yum.

And the next day was spent at the beach. Where I came across some strange characters. AL who's exporting malaysian condoms (Lazy Boy) to Sweden. And his little nephew. AL is a beach boy with a PhD. How a marine biologist turned out to be a beach boy. it's pretty interesting. I guess you choose your lifestyle. He practically lives at sunset bistro anyway.

And then there were two white guys who approached me asked for where to go partying like club. One had dreadlocks so I thought they'd be ok with sunset bistro so I suggested sunset bistro, just go straight turn left. They weren't even paying attention. And then they said they wanted to go clubbing, like party. And then, I realised dammit, I don't know anything about this stuff man.

Anyway, strange or normal, clubs aren't my thing because, you can't see much and you can't say much in that environment. most of the time you can barely breathe. unless you went with a bunch of people you're comfortable with. that's a different thing altogether.

I've been trying to wake up in the morning, early enough for once, to at least grab a good healthy breakfast, and maybe even go for a morning walk before that, but I guess I haven't really adapted to the whole timing thing. Yesterday when I got out of bed it was already 2pm.

But the heat is pretty intense. Still, no matter how bad it is, I appreciate that it still isn't as bad as how it is back there. There it really penetrates through your clothes, skin and right into your bones and.. melts your bones. seriously. no kidding okay.

Haven't been shopping. Don't know if I'm suppressing a desire or if I'm pretending to feel poor. Just that I'm not sure what I need to shop for. Feels like I have nothing and I need to get a bit of everything, but at the same time..I don't know. I'm confused.

I'm pretty sad I didn't get to watch any brain surgery. I hope some chance comes by and then I'd feel like I really gained something this holidays. Somehow this field is competitive. And with the kiasuness, everyone's trying to get a head-start. Everyone wants to know more, everyone wants to have more exposure, more practice. And it's going to be like this forever. Even in working life. Damn the medical field!

Hmm. I'm not that skinny girl anymore - gained it back in 2 days. Whatever happened to my fitness plan!

So yup, a stay at hardrock on the way, if it works out. And maybe a snorkeling trip to pulau paya. Coz AL the beach boy said it's better than redang, perhentian and tioman. And the best part is that, it's in Penang. So that's awesome. Only rm160 per person if you're malaysian. And for international, you gotta add an extra 100 to that.
And maybe this weekend onwards I'll be in KL.
for about a week.
