Wednesday, Day 1
Woke up after 4 hours of sleep after coming back from the 4EA dinner the night before. We got ready and dad sent us down across the road to catch a cab to HabourFront shopping centre where we will board the bus to KL. This was the first time we were travelling to KL by a first-class bus. Pretty amazing actually. AEROLINE. We boarded the bus at approximately 0810hrs. 13 of us went on this trip. Grandma, mum, bro, me, 3 aunts, 1 uncle, wani, hada, hilmi, hariz and danish (my nephew).I thought Aeroline provided good service. On the bus, they played us 2 movies: Bee Movie; Alvin and the Chipmunks to kill time and they provided us with meals that was pretty satisfying. It felt as if we were on the plane. I forgot to mention that there was a lounge at the first level - i didn't go there though. The journey took about 4.5 hours and we arrived at Hotel Corus at around 1430hrs. We waited for my Uncle from Putra Jaya to come to fetch us. 13 of us, you'd expect a van or something. But my Uncle was too cute. He brought his car for 4 people. XD So the rest of us rode in taxis to his place, which is quite far from KL. We arrived at his place to find an empty flat (used for home stays) available for our use. This was a plus because that meant we didn't need to pay for a hotel - especially when you are staying for 5 days. We didn't go out on the first day though the adults went to the market to get supplies to cook meals for the family. Wani, Hada and I stayed up the whole night and watched CSI: Miami on AXN. XD It felt like a slumber party we used to have when we were younger because my uncle turned on the air-con for us and we were cuddling pillows and pulling blankets here and there. HAHAHA. We went to sleep at 1am -.-

Thursday, Day 2
The guys went sight-seeing and to the museums but us girls (except wani!) took a bus down to Jalan Petaling Street. It was like a flea market with lots of cheap stuff and you can bargain a lot there :X (You need to have the skill like my aunt though! X3) Got a few things i wanted. Before that, we went to this wholesale shop filled with lots of pretty little things that all girls will love. I'm not exactly the age to have so cute and pretty things (LMAO) so i got some stuff for others. After which we went to MYDIN, another big wholesale emporium. Mum and me spent a lot there :X We bought scarfs that were far more expensive in Singapore and some stuff for daddy. But at least it was worth it because things are much cheaper there. After shopping the whole day, we went back home(my uncle's place) by bus.

Friday, Day 3
Two days before, my aunt suggested that we make a trip up to Genting. AWESOME. Furthermore, my uncle and aunt were working so we didn't want to waste our time there at home. We took a bus up to Genting and took the cable car for RM8.50. I thought it was really cheap because the bus went a long way and the price included the ticket for the cable car too. Our car number was 13! We went up slowly and i managed to take some pictures. I was standing for a while in the cable car to take some pictures with my mum holding on to me XD. When we arrived, we took our prayers before heading to the indoor theme park. We didn't go to the outdoor theme park because we didn't have time. Indoor was okay. Hahaha. The roller coaster wasn't THAT thrilling thought i screamed a bit. It was only my 2nd theme for goodness sake, haha (: Then we went for a few slow rides and a 4D show. Ali Baba.... No comments. I still like the Omni Theatre at our Science Centre <3 The best ever because it scared me, LOL. Anyhow, we went back down via the cable car again after 5 hours of fun. It was freezing cold! :3 But i kindda liked it because KL was very warm and all. My brother took some pictures on the way down this time around. We arrived at KL at about 2130hrs. By that time, we realised that there wasn't any public buses travelling back to Putra Jaya so we had to take the cab back.

Saturday, Day 4
MY 17TH BIRTHDAY!! (: Thank you to the people who made me smile :D

We went out to Alamanda which was a stone's throw from my uncle's place, to shop. Shopped till 1730hrs and my uncle and aunt came to fetch us to their kampung house in Dengkil. Pretty pretty. It's been quite some time since i've stepped into a Kampung. My uncle and aunt made a mini plantation outside their place. There were bamboo trees, and my uncle showed me around. Lady's fingers, chilli padi, green peas, corn and another one i don't know what it is in english =.= They grew some flowers too (i don't know what they are again). On the way out, there was a lorry filled with duriansssss! =/ My relatives bought a lot and brought home to share with the rest. While eating (i didn't!!), we watched this horror movie called Congkak. I didn't want to watch but i did anyway, turning my head whenever i could. After that, we went out for sigh-seeing. Yes at night because the lights are so pretty <3 We drove down to the office district and the Grand Mosque. By the time we arrived, there was a musical fountain display. Pretty lights everywhere. There were a lot of families hanging out in the open spaces as well. If only we had such big space here to destress. It struck to me that we lack such places for family picnics and to destress when i saw the amount of people there. Even the beaches and parks back here in Singapore cannot beat those places, unfortunately. Went around Putra Jaya and back to a hawker centre nearby to have supper. THEN THEN THEN!! XD Espanyol versus Sweden! :D:D:D:D:D Just in time! Everytime i saw a Torres close-up, i'd scream,"WANI WANI!! :D" HAHAHA. And there was a goal from him! <333333333333333 OMG. HAHAHA. I left near half-time because my mum went back too XD I'm such a baby! But my cousins came back soon after so we caught the match together. Wani, Hada, Abang Yin and Hilmi. Hmmmpppfff. Seemed as if i was the only one there who wanted Spain to win =.= Pfffttt. WE RULE. HAHAHA ^^V

Sunday, Day 5
We went back to Alamanda in the morning to get the stuff we didn't get the previous day. That's how we roll. XD We took the wrong bus back home and ended up stranded at the KL Central Interchange. So we cabbed back with no other choice =.= We came back and watched Puchong 3. OMG OMG. I still remember when we were younger, we laid lined up in front of the television with the curtains closed and the house all dark at my grandma's place. We watched the first one together. <3 That was when i was 7 i think. Memories! So.. the *cough i don't want to say it. was not supposed to be the 'bad guy'. But whatever. It scared me out of my wits and i almost cried this time :( Mum kept looking my way because she knows how much time it takes for me to forget such things :( But i still watched. How stupid isn't it? I still have a little difficulty sleeping right now because of the 2 horror movies. BBBBBBBBBBBBBZZZZZZZZZ. Anyhow, we went to prepare to leave after the show. I have to say, i was disappointed that we had to go no matter how much i missed home. It'll be quite a long time till the next time. But i'm glad to have a family so closely bonded. And i'm extremely proud of having such a family.
We drove down to KL and walked towards the Petronas Twin Tower for awhile to snap some pictures. And we finally took a picture of us cousins together. Awesome memories to be kept till the day we leave this world.

On the bus back home, we drove for a long time under the dark night sky. I kept looking out the window and saw the moon and stars. SubahanAllah. God is so Great. I cried for like 10 minutes while watching the sky. I asked God questions and even though i know He can't answer my questions directly, one day it will come to me itself. I cried to sleep (:

Immigration was a slur. I felt like a sleeping zombie walking around with my passport. But we went home safely anyway. Thank You for protecting us, Allah. Thank You for planning this trip for us, bringing us so much closer together. And even though we're so far apart, please make it a point that we meet up at least once a year (:

PS: My uncle in KL is like an adopted brother to my mum and her siblings. We're not related in any way, but we're close like that. I think it's so special, hahaha (:

Sad part though...
I DIDN'T GET TO EAT ANY SUSHI!! :( Nevermind... Hahaha .But i'm still upset. Still, i have to get over it some time soon =.= I didn't eat much chewing gum there either. How surprising.
