2012

I watched this movie over the weekend. It was another end of the world movie for me.

Did i say before that I love such apocalyptic movies? Like 'The Day after Tomorrow'? I love them because it makes me ponder where I would be and who I would be with when it happens? I definitely want to be somewhere at a place where I could be with my love one when everything ends. 

Coming back to the movie, I love John Cusack. Although his acting was no big deal, but i like his friendly easy-going dismeanour. He gives me a soothing feeling. At least he does not seem to be the aggressive and violent sort. Anyway, I know he is the lead actor of the show but there were too many near escapes from death that the movie did not seem too realistic. Anyone in those circumstances would have died a million times!

Anyway, Ng Chin Nan was in the movie! I                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        like him too. I am glad there is at least a Singaporean actor that i can be proud of! well, whilst his performance cannot be considered as stellar, it is still credible.

DAY 2 - CAMERON HIGHLANDS AND KUALA LUMPUR

The second day saw us leaving visiting Cameron Highlands butterfly farm around 9 am. The morning was cool but what greeted me shocked me so much!

The way and speed the worker fished out the butterflies from between white folded sheets of paper from the styrofoam box full of butterflies was beyond my words. I didn't know the butterflies could survive from such treatment.

According to the worker, the butterflies were harvested fresh from the forest. Poor things! They have only a limited lifespan inside this enclosure and were destined to die here.

Next, we went to YG Nursery but I wasn't particularly thrilled although there were a few humongous plants that I like because of their sheer sizes.

The trip down Cameron Highlands was terrible. Whilst we didn't feel much on the way up, we all sort of lost our appetites when we reached a pitstop for lunch at Kuala Lumpur. I guess it was because the driver drove very fast and we were all sicked from the views that passed us by so rapidly.

When we reached FRIM, it was around 3 pm. We were shown around Razak Walk and on the way back to the university grounds, I was attacked by a leech! The leech only attacked me and no one else, damned! That was about the most exciting thing that happened to me on the second day. At first, I panicked and tried to get it off using a lighter from a colleague. But I was afraid of burning myself, so I tried using the medicated oil from another colleague.

Thank goodness it finally came off! But the handiplast that was pasted was completely bloodied after a short while. Fortunately, the wound was small and the bleeding finally stopped after a while of pressing a tissue against it. I still have the dried tissue to show for it.

We then made our way to Hotel Capitol near Sungei Wang where we stayed for the night. When we went for dinner at , it was pouring and as such, I didn't have much time shopping and only bought a shirt in the end.

That was all for the day!
