Malaysia

Hey everyone. I'm in Malaysia at the moment, sweating my arse off. Met up with Tara on my second day here and we went to Midvalley Megamall for a couple of hours. Megamall is HUGE, as you can probably guess from how its got 'mega' in the name. In Melbourne, you hardly ever see shopping centres above about 3 levels. In KL, there are some shopping centres that get up and over 6 levels. My dad didn't believe me when I said Sunway Pyramid was waaay bigger than Chadstone, but hell, I think one floor is already bigger than Chadstone.

To be more precise, I'm in Bagan Serai visiting my grandma who just recovered from a lung infection. It's a country town supposedly surrounded by paddy fields (I've yet to see any actually) and there is absolutely nothing to do. Seriously. I spent most of my morning lying in my airconditioned bedroom staring at the ceiling. It doesn't help that next to nobody speak english so I'm kind of forced to speak chinese. My cousin's children are really cute and they all have their mother's triangle head. It's so adorable. I actually speak chinese to them though, because they're too young to laugh. I've actually been testing my speaking skills out on people and I haven't gotten as many weird looks as I expected so I must be getting somewhere?

I can't wait till I can go back to KL and stay with Tara. It's nice being able to speak to people that don't answer back in Hokkien or Malay. We're going to Sunway and running around in teeny weeny bikinis (maybe just me)! I've been put off asian guys for life. They are everywhere here, and they're all really...unattractive.

Well that's it from me. Not sure when i'll be able to get back on the internet, so see you guys later!

Love,

Mel
