expressing the emptiness inside me..

quite alot of things had been happening on the last week of 2008... i had been in port dickson frm boxing day till tt sunday (28th dec)... its quite a last minute plan... damn last minute in fact... we only booked the hotel on christmas and the next dae set off alr... hahaxX... im quite looking forward to this holidae, due to the fact tt i can get to drive the beemer on NS highway... we only set off about noon, whr the traffic is not so heavy... so all the way i was driving at an average of about 140 km/h... at quite alot of occasion, i hit 170 km/h and my mum was behind nagging  alr... so didnt quite manage to hit that 'crucial' 180 km/h... but i will sure try again on the next trip =DD although its a beemer, it still cant dominate the highway with its 177 horsepower... on one occasion i was trying to overtake a CRV infront of me driving at about 140 km/h, i put to sports mode and really floor the accelerator, but still it pick up very slowly... it took us around 1.5 hrs to reach port dickson's outskirt from JB... port dickson is quite disappointing actually... it has literally nth to see and play... worst of all is the resort... its the worst resort i have been to after first world hotel... we went to the beach and stroll aft tt went to a temple there before going to their night market... and ttz basically the end of story... so we went back to the resort and went to their pub to watch soccer... i was expecting the pub to be less disappointing... but it turned out to be as sucky... the so called pub is actually like a coffee shop selling beer... so the next day we decided to go KL... at least its less boring there... we wanted to go mid valley mega mall... but ended up getting lost, all because of the malaysia's shopping guide... it claims that it is situated in jalan putra... so we followed the GPS and ended up somewhr i had been before, which is the Putra World Trade Centre... aft asking my dad's KL friend, we found out it is actually in Bangsar... so we actually went one big round... and the parking at the mega mall is terrible la... it has alot of car parks... the last time we went i rmb we parked at a multi story car park, which is nt so bad... tis tym we parked at the basement carpark, and the carpark is like a gridlock, all the cars just jam up in there... its only aft quite sometime that we found a parking lot... aft the whole afternoon of shopping, i only bought a calvin klein t-shirt... aft which we wanted to go to a very famous temple in KL, which is very near the mega mall only... the temple is located at the north of the mega mall, but we ended up travelling south.. a mere 2 minutes journey took us 15 minutes... aft giving our offerings, we went back to the resort and turned in early... the next morning my dad and i went to try out the golf course there... which isnt tt great as well... its a nice place, just that the course was nt well maintained... and i spent most of the time killing mosqitoes... aft golf, we went to check out of the resort and intend to head to meleka for lunch... but the entrance to meleka was jamming up quite badly... its only then my dad realise that monday is a public holiday in malaysia, which is why its jamming... so we went to yong peng for lunch instead... damn coincidently, we met our neighbour there... of all the places, we met at a place so far away from home... aft lunch we headed home alr, the earliest of all the roadtrips to malaysia we had... the return trip was driven by my dad... my dad wanted to speed as well... but sadly all the way to JB the road was damn crowded... i think on the return trip the fastest the car went is only 140 km/h.. and adding the heavy rain which affected a stretch of road, the whole return trip took quite awhile... here's a word of advice, if ur going to north-south highway, take a WRX or an A4 3.2... coze those are the 2 cars which over took my beemer without a hitch... during this whole road trip, the beemer did a staggering 10.5 km/l... tis is even more economical then the mazda 5 la... normally on city drive the beemer only did a average of 7 km/l... so, this shows that beemers are made for highways =DD
