whee~~

my brother came back today from oxford. hehe missed his presence ard the house for the past 2 weeks. irritating sometimes, but nonetheless a necessary evil. :) his trip there was actually quite drama cause he lost his wallet during a outing at the ice-skating rink. quite alot of $ lost which upseted us back at singapore a bit for a while. but anyway he still managed to scrimp his way through with a couple of pounds to spare at the end of the day.

after we fetched him from the airport in the morning, my dad and i took a short road trip to malacca. hehe, quite happy cause never had a chance to go malacca; never went overseas with my dad before. didn't spend much time there though, i think the driving there was more of an episode than the touring around there. did see a few of the old portuguese buildings, took a few photos, but dut to the tight schedule we had to race through the few attractions tt we visited. snapped a few pictures in the car as we passed them though.

well, what do u expect for a road trip which had to be completed in a day? :)

and i drove there and back! haha, what an experience. the n-s highway just screams, "fasterfaster!" and so i did. tested the max speed of the car, which is a meagre 157 km/h. can't seem to go beyond tt magical number no matter how i depress the accelerator. but anyway it's quite scary to go at tt speed cause it's quite fast. well, the only consolation is tt everyone else around u is travelling at ard 130-140 km/h. yes, even the big trailers at 110-120 km/h. well, depends on how u see it really. u could consider tt nerve-wrecking. so from malacca to jb it took me abt 90 mins. ave speed's abt 137 km/h. whoah. i just did the math and i'm shocked myself too (if u are tt is).
 
we stopped over at jb and bought some supper for the family at home - stingray, herbal chicken, and durians. there're RM3 per kilo lar. how to fang(4) guo(4)... wack 6 of them back. anyway quite full now. gotta sleep. haha pig...

enjoyed the little outing with my dad, both of us making the wrong turns, getting lost, eating good food (chicken rice balls in malacca for lunch), afternoon of shopping. think should try to make it a pt to go out with my family more often.
