Here is my almost blow-by-blow account of my trip to Malaysia yesterday. Left Singapore at 3AM. Decided to go to KL before going to Port Dickson. KL is still one of the best cities in the world in my opinion. Shopped there for a while. Went to Port Dickson. Took 3 hours instead of 1 to get there because of so many &*%*^%$* traffic jams! Eventually reached Eagle Ranch, a Western style resort. Went around the resort for a while. Beat my sister in go-karting. She didn't like it one bit. Nearly got kicked in the head by a real horse. These are young horses, not grown-up race horses. Went to the beach. Beautiful, just as I imagined. Stupid clouds blocked the sunset though. Went back to the resort and slept. Woke up, left the resort and went back to KL. More shopping. Didn't get what I wanted but at least I got to eat some fantastic lasagna. Mavelled at the Petronas Towers. Then finally, went home. Took exactly 6hrs 42mins to get home from KL. That in a nutshell is my family's Chinese New Year trip to Malaysia. Could be better, could be worse. Here's hoping Dad'll fulfill his ambition to go to Bali this December.
