Genting! (Day 3)

Man, can you believe that I'm typing this, like, almost 2 weeks after it happened? Ah heck, I'm always playing catch-up after things. Moreover, my previous photo hosting site sucks, so I have to find another site. Anyway, here goes Day 3:

Woke up around 8.30am and guess what? Wee Lee had already been to the casino and back, and lost more than what he won the previous night. No wonder the hotel's window can't be fully opened. The only place where people can jump off should be planes, not hotels.

Had breakfast that's ok. OK to feed dogs, that is.

After we pack our room, we take the Skyway cable car down the mountain. The experience of the cable swinging out into the valley, while hanging on to that cable for dear life, was a heck of an experience. I noticed that we all wore the same pair of shoes for the past few days, so I just snap this pix.

It didn't occur to me that yesterday was too sunny, until I removed my themepark wristband last night. Hello zebra!

Once we reach the bottom, we grabbed the first bus tix to KL that we could find. Being the internet addicts that we are, the first agenda once we reached KL: find an internet cafe. Instead, we found this place with interior lightings that look like a brothel... in the day! Well, RM 1.50 for half an hour net time was really cheap, so we dun mind much. Zhang Yan bid us an early goodbye and ditched us two lonely dogs.

Now this is the part concerning my pre-Genting posts: the Ulterior Motive girl(hereby called Ms N). What a coincidence that she's coming to KL the same time as us! So we just contacted her to meet at Berjaya Times Square. However, Wee Lee wanna look for a Louis Vuitton wallet for a friend back in S'pore, so we just zip our way to KLCC in a cab. No luck, and we might be late to meet Ms N. Imagine my stress...

Sidetrack a bit though, the way Malaysians cross the road is just unbelievable. Wee Lee and I actually took the effort to classify them into: (1) 超级联邦人 - crosses the road when there's a window in the traffic. (2)超级无敌联邦人 - crosses the road lane by lane and stands in the middle of traffic, with cars zipping in front of and behind him. (3)超级无敌Bohchap联邦人 - crosses the road in slow-mo style and let the whole traffic wait for him. It's like everyone in KL is playing a game of Frogger, you know?

Anyway, managed to reach Times Square before Ms N. Guess what? There'll be a S.H.E. concert on that night! Just my bloody good luck! We met Ms N at Delifrance with her sis. Had a nice chat with them. Wee Lee bid us adios to go up Genting, again. The dude got perseverance, I say. Now it's time for me to walk walk with Ms N...

I showed her around the place, picking up chats from time to time. We dun chat too much, coz I was having a blast just looking at her. I believe that sometimes, it's the moment that matters, not the words. She is a sight to behold. Not because she shines like a lighthouse, nor a shower of brilliant fireworks, but because she exudes an aura of grace and tenderness around her. It's like watching the purest of lilies. She didn't catch my eyes on first sight, but the more I look at her, the better she looks, until I'm totally sucked in and had nothing better to look at but her. Yet, seeing is all I do, coz doing anything beyond seeing would seem intrusive. It would be a desecration to perfection. So I just watched and indulged.

A friend once called me a hopeless romantic. I think I'm just hopeless. :P

Am I in love? I dunno. Experience = 0. Am I interested in her? Maybe. Am I intrigued by her? Definately. Her eyes looked like there's an ocean of emotions in her, waiting to be explored. Black hair that flows like curtains of waterfalls. A gentle smile emerged on her face from time to time, like a bunny hiding in the bushes, popping its head out to peek at the world. The world seems to fade into a blur, all the sound dimmed. Only her face is still in clear focus, only her voice is relevant. None of the 4 seasons can match her. There should be a new season, where the flowers grow, the rivers flow, the birds chirp, the stars shine... just for her.

I am clumsy with words, so none of these would do her justice. But I have to try anyway.

I was reluctant to leave when her friend arrived, and my parents were waiting for me at home for dinner. I had to go, but we settled to meet for dinner at my place tomorrow. I couldn't wait till then!

So how will things turn out? Stay tuned for the next episode!

If u can tell the words u wrote in your blog to Ms UM, she might be touched. Sometimes we just need that moment of courage and rash to get things moving...Embarassed to say it out then take the next alternative like writing??

Just a side comment, sometime i wonder if guys dun dare to tell the gal that he likes her is it becos scared of failure / consequences? Or love not equals to havin her in possession but to stand far and enjoy her beauty will be enough??

Anyway, hope u can drop somemore obvious hints and pluck up ur courage someday... some gals like guys who r brave enough to say the words "I like you".. ( haha.. cos this words really need a lot of courage to be said regardless of gals / guys)

永远说不出口的那句话
是最伤人的
因为期待
因为胡思乱想
被那句话所伤后
才发现原来你并未曾说出一句话

Thanks for ur suggestions... I tend to fumble at spoken words or not expressive enough, which is why I perform so much... to find a mean to express myself other than speaking...

Sacred love is what you said, that watching from afar is enough. I, however, wanted selfish love. Someone I can hold and care for.

I might show her this blog when the time is right. As for when is that, I dunno...
