Continuation (part 2)

Singapore's 41st birthday, but this time round I did something different. I skipped town to go to Malaysia (Petaling Jaya) with my dad.

Boarded the bus to PJ at 10am and had an interesting ride there. We watched a movie on the on board TV - Stealth, about some top secret technology with a poor storyline in my opinion - and dad made me solve some sudoku puzzles as well. Well, i lost interest in sudoku after a while but now i think it's a good time to get started on it again.

Will post pictures when i have time :)

The view from our hotel was magnificent. I saw the famous Sunway Lagoon that my KL pen pal (lost contact now) told me about...

Of course, I took the chance to get my hands (or more accurately my jaws) on some chewing gum. I bet that all Singaporeans go for chewing gum when they are overseas.

The malls in Malaysia tend to be much bigger than those in Singapore. I observed that while I was in Ipoh and Malacca before, and the size of the malls in PJ only tend to reconfirm my observations. Probably has to do with the fact that Malaysia has no issues with land scarcity.

I bought a pair of new shoes which I've wanted to buy for a long time. My SAF running shoes have reached the end of their useful lifespan anyway. Also, I bought a couple of nice bermudas for wearing at the hostel, and two nice shirts. Thanks dad for the gifts :)

Was basically a day being driven around by dad's friend and being given a running tour of KL. Didn't get to see the Petronas Towers though, to my disappointment. Maybe the next time...

Boarded the bus to Singapore at 6.30pm and arrived back at 12 midnight. Watched a movie, Armagaeddon on the way back.. about astronauts being tasked to blow up a rogue asteroid on a collision course with Earth. Well, I pray to God that such a scenario never befalls Earth.

Came back and found to my chagrin that I've been out-bidded for Malay. Oh well, now the bid points for Malay is 300+. I won't be able to afford it.

But, Jiefang told me that genes and society is interesting and going for only 1 bid point. Well, worth a try anyway. So I placed my bid and got it, which confirms my 6th module and thus my nomenclature for this coming sem.

I actually have a 7th module out there, intro to world religions which is still in the advance bidding phase. I may very well use my 2nd S/U on it if I do get it, and treat the module as non existent.

I am gunning for as many As as possible this sem. Difficult but "Nothing is Impossible if we put our trust in God".
