why the long wait?

If you have been keeping up with my blog, you would have realised that i haven't been logging any entries in the past few days....*GAsps*...in the past few weeks, actually...Well, i regret to say i'm losing interest in BLOGGING.

LOSING INTEREST IN BLOGGING?!?!

Nah, i would never do that. my little diary is probably the only place i could pen my thoughts to. I'm still girlfriendless you see. Why the lag then?

Well, as you have have inferred or might have known, i did finish my last paper on the 3rd of May. After which i took a few days of "recuperative break" before i departed from Singapore. (Singapore, not Mother Earth) To where?
To Rendang Island. And where the hell is this Redang Island? (Sounds like some food paradise, doesn't it?) It's actually an island off Kuala Terengganu in Malaysia. And what does one do there? Well, see fishes.

Yes, see F-I-S-H-E-S. It's one big snorkelling and scuba-diving paradise in Redang. Well, for one, i'm not a swimmer. I drown. But the temptation of seeing beautiful fishes swimming amongst was too great to resist. Any way, snorkelling, as i found out, is relatively safe for non-swimmers like me.

Well, here's a little summary of days that i would really love to blog but couldn't:

3rd May 2005
Just came home from school. It's about 9.30pm now. Should have been happier since i'd just finished my very last paper, meaning it's all play and no work until school re-opens in August. However, this wasn't the case. I think i'm gonna flunk this one. Hopefully not. Don't really feel like blogging tonight.
*Disheartened*

4th - 7th May 2005
There's nothing much to do actually. Kinda missed those days in the library...Actually, maybe not...Just missed my belle from the library that's all.....Might never see her again....

8th May 2005
Went shopping today. Yes, shopping for my trip tomorrow! Yeah...Just a few hours more before leaving Singapore. VERY VERY excited!

9th May 2005
The day finally came. Met up with the guys at about 7.55pm to have dinner. Boarded the coach at about 10pm. Got my new passport stamped for the first time! Before 11pm, we were already in MALAYSIA! well, we were told that the entire journey the K.Terengganu takes about 9 hours and that there would be about 3 pit-stops in all. Quite discouraging for the fact that we had to control our water intake. As such we drank as little as possible. There wasn't much to do in the bus except to take naps and stare wide-eyed at the darkness outside.
We soon realised that the expected 9 hour wasn't inclusive of the pit-stop breaks. In all, the length of time needed to travel from Singapore to K.Terengganu took 12 hours. I made a point NOT TO EVER TRAVEL BY COACH if the entire journey takes more than 6 hrs even if it is CHEAP. It isn't worth it since you are wasting time on travelling to your destination. Wasting time means that the entire travel package is worth3 days and 2 nights but you had already spent about half of this duration on senseless naps in the coach w/o a toilet.
