.: Travels - Malaysia :.
Arrival
date: January 2007
Genting Highlands and Bentong:
While I was in Singapore, Noreen came
up with a great proposal of going for a trip to visit her family in
Malaysia, so she pushed me on a bus at Friday night without any luggage with
only my passport not even knowing what was the trip about : after around 3
hours I started to feel very cold and I realized we were going up to 3000
mts "hills"! I was not used anymore to those temperatures as i had lived on
a tropical island for 7 months. When we reached destination at around 4
o'clock am I didn't know where the hell I was...outside was all dark and
foggy...I was literally freezing , I didn't even remember how was the
sensation of feeling so cold ...I just wanted to go back and forget about
the trip...we walked through a corridor that brought us to an immense palace
containing hundreds of shopping malls , casinos , theme park , hotels etc.
Fortunately later on , in one of the casinos, we found a Milo hot chocolate
machine that was free for all clients then I took advantage of it having
many cups of hot chocolate till I got drunk and hot ! Once i wormed up the
fun began! Noreen's parents are professional gamblers and they were visiting
the place every weekend. They are a very special couple , funny , easy going
and they made me laugh a lot ! They share the same hobby as mine which is to
take away every free gadget from the places. We collected hundreds of pens
and pencils , sugars , tea bags, tissues, soap , toothbrush, and a lot more.
They are amazing, I would love to have relatives like that...We spent there
few days and we really had fun, we played all kind of games and the bowling
was great ! I also found a coin-op car racing simulation of "the fast and
the furious" which was hectic! One time I've entered in a shop were I had
free taste of dry fruit until I got stomach hake, but was fun. In Noreen's
family everyone was so kind with me that I felt very welcomed and
comfortable. We went down to their hometown , Bentong and I saw the amazing
vintage car of Noreen's father: he owns the vehicle since
1975 taking a
perfect care of it to the point that I was tried to leave him some money to
book the car in advance in case he'll decide to sell it one day.
