height of luxury
Poppa g is the best, he has booked our last 2 nights in at a superior suite at the park royal! And its huge! We've got sofas and a desk and a bathroom bigger than my room at home! And there is soo much free stuff - free drinks, sandwiches and cakes all day, huge breakfast, and cocktails in the evening! Ah I'm so excited! Lol just as I was writing this a little man came and brought a fruit plate up for us. I could get used to this :D
I love malacca
Came here as a last resort as we realised we didn't have enough time to go to borneo. Wasn't really expecting much but it is one of the most beautiful towns I've been to. We stayed in Chinatown in a huge converted mansion with double height ceilings and shutters and little hidden courtyards and all sorts. Oh and there were loads of swallows nests on the walls and loads of them flying around and feeding their babies. Oh it was so lovely, and the whole area was just as good, all renovated mansions that were now shops and cafes and art galleries and some were still millionaires homes. I found one that hasn't been rebuilt and is still falling down that I'm going to buy. Took so many pictures and just loved it so much.
First night we had beers and a huge spring roll each in a cafe and then went to another for tea. I had a chocolate and strawberry milkshake which was amazing. And mama and pop had a rice and cheese dish which they really liked so I am not wierd for eating those 2 things together!
I was so excited about having my own room I forgot that's normal back home! Had a lovely free breakfast at the hotel and then went for a wander. Went on a boat trip which was ok but showed that we were staying in the prettiest part of town, and Had our feet nibbled by fish again at a spa, but they were smaller so didn't do as good a job (but it tickled a lot less!) Had a drink at a really pretty riverside cafe and then mama and I went shopping for a bit.
Oh and the night before as we were walking home we walked past a huge stage in the middle of the road playing Chinese music with 2 old ladies ballroom dancing together and one old mentalist just sort of bouncing around on their own. No idea what was going on but it looked like a day trip for mental patients.
Anyway yesterday evening we went to a quite posh restaurant and had lovely burgers and then sat in a really cool bar called geographers cafe and had some beers. I stood in front of a fan and my dress blew over my head and the whole bar saw my bra and pants. Classy. Lastly we went to the courtyard bar at our hotel which was so nice and green.
This morning mama and I got up early to go to a little shop and get her a number plate for her bike cos we saw some with them and she liked them. And then just had a 2 hour coach ride back to kl.

kl and tioman
Were in mersing at the mo and I am lying in the softest bed in the whole world :) catching a coach to melacca in a few hours for the last stop before kl and home.
Kl last time was lovely, in the really busy expat and tourist district so lots going on and places to eat and shop.Had one more huge breakfast on the last morning then caught a tiny 12 row of seats aeroplane to tioman.I do feel pretty bad about the amount of flying were doing but pops is so impatient.on tioman we got a water taxi to our beach and got soaked by the waves and went flying around the boat which was pretty funny.wed booked a pretty crap room as it was dark and damp so we moved the next day, but the first room did have a mother cat and 4 tiny baby kittens under the steps who were so sweet.
We stayed on salang beach which was lovely with lots of restaurants and bars and a really nice beach but not too busy.most of the restaurants had bbqs so we had barbecued fish most nights which was ace.and beer was super cheap too so We were pretty happy.
First full day there we stayed on the beach and snorkelled about in the shallows as the water is so amazingly clear.Oh and a monkey came and stole a banana out of our bag and my dad ran out and started yelling at it and it wasn't bothered at all,just sat there eating our banana.
There was a river running through the town with those huge monitor lizards in that are as big as people and we saw a couple of them.
Next day we decided to go on a round the island trip for £20 each but unfortunately we picked the worst day ever.and Had a horrible mean boat driver who never smiled.first it was just very windy and then overcast but by the time we headed off for lunch it was pouring with rain and we were stuck in this little boat,soaking wet and getting thrown about.was quite funny to start with and then it just got a bit cold and miserable.after lunch the driver seemed quite suprised that we didn't fancy snorkelling in the open sea in the middle of a storm but we declined and went home 3hours early and soaking wet,without doing any swimming. Oh and there was the most beautiful little french girl on our trip she was about 3 and looked like she should have been on a petit pois advert and I wanted to steal her.
So that day was a bit of a failure.next few days I was a bit ill so didn't go out that much but we just did more lazing around on the beach, snorkelling, drinking beer.nothing too strenuous and all very lovely.
Yesterday we had to leave as I was having loads of trouble with my shitty old house and there was no internet on the island.which sucked a lot but we left and were told we were booked on the 11.30 ferry but to get there a bit early. This was a lie. We waited until 1.30 when the first ferry of the day arrived and about 50 people who had all been told different ferry times tried to get on.we luckily managed so then spent 3 hours on the slowest ferry in the world getting to the mainland.not a fun day.but we had the best dinner at a Chinese seafood place where we had wild boar, 'drunken prawns' and prawns fried in butter.after mama and my hands smelt but not in a bad way, more like mmm oh my hands smell so good that was such a good dinner.we were very sad when pops made us wash them. And that's all really.almost home and I am so looking forward to getting back to brighton. And getting very very drunk. And straightening my hair that is going to be So nice.

foot nibbling
Oh I almost forgot one of the best bits! On langkawi we went to a spa and little fish nibbled all the dead skin off our feet! It tickled so much and is the wierdest feeling but my feet still feel super soft :)
Georgetown and langkawi
Writing this on the phone as I'm too lazy to find a real computer so sorry for any spelling mistakes. Flew into penang on Tuesday which was wierd as the flight only lasted an hour and I've never flown that short haul before. And it meant we didn't get a meal! But we were staying at this pretty posh hotel called ppisland which was so lovely. Went out for lunch at this ace place called yummy cottage which was really just a little indoor street market and had some fried rice. And then got very confused about where we were (mainly my bad map reading skills) so hopped on a bus to prangin mall which is possibly the best mall in the world. I spent so much money I am really sacred to look at my bank balance. But I did buy, amongst many other things: a new pair of skinny Levis, some beautiful fake Vivian westwood shoes for £7, a pair of glasses on a necklace and an awesome shirt for just £2! It's so hard to not when everything is so stupidly cheap.
That evening we saw some fairy lights twinkling down a road so we went to explore and ended up having a steamboat, which is a bit like a Chinese version of a fondu, with a boiling spicy stock and a grill in the middle of the table and everyone cooks their own food. The place we went was amazing with millions of things on offer to cook like king prawns, clams, pat choi, spring rolls, sweetcorn, etc. So delicious and you could eat as much as you wanted. And after there was free ice cream! Only problem was the ice cream came in really odd flavours like yam, sweetcorn and durIan which is a horribly smelly fruit. So we decided to try them all and they were foul! We ended up trying to melt them in the steamboat to get rid of them! I'd never tasted durian before but it now makes the smell so much worse cos I can taste it too. Such a funny night and the meal was £4 each! Oh and before we went out wed been drinking the vodka my parents brought out and mama g was pouring herself huge measures, clearly forgetting it was 50%, so she was pretty drunk by the time we left the hotel which made it even more amusing.
Wednesday we caught a taxi over to the colonial district and took some pics, wondered through little India and ended up on the street I stayed on last time. Bought some fruit juice in a bag with a straw of a street vendor and wondered back to prangin mall to spend a bit more money. On the way out mama went to take some money out, got her pin wrong once and the machine swallowed her card! That evening we went to a huge street market for tea and ordered loads, just kept going up to different stalls and ordering more. Best was the satays and a noodle dish called Singapore mee hoon. For pudding we had this really wierd thing called chee chow fun which was really thick rice noodles with sweet prawn sauce. Not that nice but the locals were loving it.
Pop ordered a taxi stupidly early the next morning and we went and caught our freezing cold air conditioned ferry to langkawi. Apparently its Muslim honeymoon season and pretty much everyone else on the ferry was young men in shorts and tshirts with tiny wives dressed head to toe in black veils with only a small slit for their eyes. Was a bit odd to find ourselves part of a very small minority of females with our full faces on show. On langkawi we stayed a tropical report which was lovely and clean (although it had the hardest beds in the world) but had the massive problem that we weren't allowed to drink there as the owner was Muslim. Was lovely to be on a duty free island though as beers cost 30p!I didn't feel that well so didn't do much on Wednesday so didn't do that much. Thursday I also don't think we did that much, just lay around as the weather wasn't that great. Friday we went on the island hopping tour which was ace. Went on a speedboat out to a beautiful little beach on another island and had a swim, then saw some eagles which were amazing and then went to an island with loads of monkeys and a huge freshwater lake and had a swim in that next to the mangroves. All really beautiful and we saw what langkawi is really like without all the spas and tourist shops. Had a horrible dinner at an Indian place called the British raj and then went and sat on the beach drinking beers and watching the crabs running around. Next day it rained the whole day which was crap so we stayed inside. Evening was good though, we went to a Turkish restaurant and had lovely food and then persuaded mama and pop to get a shIsha! Don't think they liked it much but soph and I had loads of fun! Then went somewhere else and had cocktails so had a really good night.
Flew back to kl the next day which was odd as I've never been on an internal flight. But we are staying in the poshest most amazing hotel here. It's called the park royal and its five stars! The rents stayed here over Easter when the ash cloud stopped them getting home and they wanted to treat us cos its beautiful.were on the 21st floor so have the best view and can walk around your room naked and no one knows. And there's so much free stuff and a massive free buffet breakfast. It's going to be really hard to go back to dorms and little fan huts after this! Mama and pop have just taken soph to the airport as she flies home today, and then were off to tIoman tomorrow xx

Singapore
In singapore now, in fact going to catch a plane to penang in a couple of hours. Had such a lovely time here i forgot how much i love this city.
We got here on saturday after deciding to leave cherating early as it was a bit hot and not so much to do. Oh but on friday evening I went on the firefly river tour which was amazing! best 3 pounds i've ever spent. picked us up in a little tiny boat once it was dark and there were only 3 of us. I've never seen fireflies before but they are so beautiful. They move quite slowly in sort of bounces so everything seems really magical like a disney movie. firstly you'd just see them moving around the trees and then our guide would flash a light and suddenly they'd all head over to our boat and surround us and be on our hands and hair and they were so gently and lovely.
we caught a taxi and then a reeeeeaally long coach ride on saturday morning to singapore and are staying at sleepy sams again! it is such a lovely hostel especially after the place in cherating which had bed bugs. saturday evening we sat around here and on the internet and then went for a little wonder. discovered haji road in kampong glam which is a really pretty little lane with tall colonial houses and the most wonderful boutique clothes stores. spent about 2 hours in 2 shops trying everything on and i fell in love with so many cool things. Then we went and had dinner at the lovely deli morrocan opposite our hostel and then had an early night. pop booked us into the girls dorm which isn't as good as the main dorm where i stayed last time and the girls were pretty unfriendly and grumpy.
Sunday we got up early and it had rained during the night, still we decided to go to the zoo so we caught lots of mtrs and buses and got there...just as it started to rain again. and it pissed it down for about 3 hours, we got soaked, so we decided it would be a good (and hilarious) idea to buy bright green rain capes with singapore zoo emblazoned accross the back! aha we looked so funny they are ace! the zoo is really cool as there are no cages, just moats and ditches between you and the animals and glass between the really dangerous ones (a huge crocodile headubutted the glass about 10cm in front of my face i was so scared!) so it really flows and feels a bit jungley as the monkeys can move all over the park just moving through the trees overhead. Saw so many cool animals. and some babboons having sex and things like that. good day, soph has lots of photos. Came back here and then went and collected mama and poppa g from the station! so good to see them and it's so wierd meeting them out here on the other side of the world. lovely though. We weren't that hungry so we just went to a little sisha bar and lay around on cushions drinking beer. good times.
Monday we had a little explore around singapore. Walked down to the river and sat having a very expensive beer, then caught a riverboat which had the best audio commentry ever. highlights included "let me recite for you a poem" "why don't you try writing your own poem" "singapore is a painting and you are part of it" and other such gems. the mama and i were wetting ourselves for the whole thing.
Then we wondered up to little india, via lots of shopping centres for the air conditioning and had a drink in a cafe. Came back here and had dinner before getting spruced up and going to raffles hotel for coctails. Went into the Long Bar and ordered our singapore slings and they were sooooo good. really delicious. and every table has a huge thing of peanuts and you throw the shells on the floor so when you walk it's really crunchy underfoot. the bar was pretty cool with old fashion fans and stuff. but the drinks worked out at almost 15 pounds each! pop was pretty shocked as we thought they were going to be about 8 pounds. ah well had a lovely time.
that's about it as i have to run and catch a plane but romy you are rubbish with your coming home dates xxxx

bad times
everything isn't going so well anymore. due to certain reasons that some people may know, i have lost a lot of respect for the person i'm travelling with and started to realise that all of the origional bad things i thought about them are correct and all of the nice aspects that people tell me just aren't or are just for show so that person can get what they want. i know it's not nice to bitch about people on the internet but i am stuck with her and have no one else to talk to and i'm starting to find it really hard. if i was at home i just wouldn't want her as my friend because i don't like people who treat other people like that, but instead of being able to get away from her we are stuck travelling and in the same room together. and she bluddy moans about everything!
but i will try not to rant anymore, i just wanted to get that out the way. we're staying in cherating which is sooo hot and there's barely any breeze but it is lovely and cheap and they have such good food. Last night we went to mata hari restaurant and i had barbequed prawns and they were so fresh and delicious and i was so happy. Looked like there were some other good places to eat too so im quite excited for tonight. then went to another restaurant to have a drink but it was wierdly run by about 8 little children. A grown up showed up after a while and started playing on a computer but these 3 8 year olds took our orders, money and made our drinks while some smaller kids ran around them and 2 13 year olds played really loud malaysian reggae music and played xbox. very very strange.
This morning i went and sat on the beach and talked to mama g which was ace, had not such a nice lunch at a self service place as i accidentally picked liver (eeuuuuuuurgh) and lay around reading and planning and stuff. think tomorrow im going to go to a turtle sanctuary in the morning and then a firefly tour where you catch a boat and watch them over the water in the evening. There's not really anyone else here though so i'll probably have to do most of it on my own as i'm avoiding my travelling companion as much as possible. ah well.
so that was today, not hugely excting but im just so excited about having internet and being able to come on here every day. hope everything is going well back home and the postcards arrive soon! xxxx
