I'm a City Girl

Thank you God for bringing me back to civilisation, I shall never attempt to live the country life anymore.

You think I went to Jelebu. I thought I was in Jelebu.

Well, no. I was in the middle of no where Bukit Pertang. It's ok if you don't know where the hell it is, I don't either.

The guide to Bukit Pertang (in simple English):

• A place where people ogle at the sight of a Toyota and salivate when they see a Mercedes Benz because the only cars they have are either Protons or Peroduas.
• A place where people think you're American if you skin complexion like mine, which people in KL take you for a Malay.
• A place where there are no mamak stalls or restaurants.
• A place where people earn a living through the agricultural field.
• A place without pollution.

Now for the pictures.

This is mommy's client's resort home. Given the beautiful landscape and kampung-ish architecture, it's a vista in a forest/plantation/middle of no where.

The journey there was (literally) backbreaking. The road is like a dead snake, winding here and there it makes you sick. There were so many trees around it made me thought we're lost and perhaps crossed the border into Thailand.

Oh and the trees tend to make you sicker. I told Damien, "If I see another tree, I'm going to puke." And puke I did.





Nice or not? I like the landscape. This is the place where mega-rich people go when they're tired of the city and then run back to the city when they had enough of country life.

Why mega-rich people? Because poor people don't go fishing, pick eggs and pull tapioca when they're hungry. Poor people do those even when they're not hungry because they need money.


The black ones are ducks, the white ones are ducks. There are 2 geese in the first picture, try to pick them out (bet you can't tell which is a duck and which is a goose, muahaha).

Meet my new friend, Billy.

And his friends, Jilly and Silly.

They're getting dinner for us.

They are named BBQ and Fried. 'Cause they'll end up like their names.

We had BBQ food for dinner with limited drinks for kids (only the winter melon juice thing). In 10 minutes they were all gone. I was about to get a bottle of mineral water from my room when mommy said, "Aiya, drink beer la."

Yea hor, I dah cukup umur. Anyway, how can you get drunk by just drinking beer?

They had a karaoke session, where those uncles sing old Chinese songs then they drink wine.

All these drunk people.

I drink like a sailor. Muahaha. I was training myself for Germany, 'cause Mel's family can really drink.

The best wine ever! It's ice cider, called Le Petit Frisson. It tasted like apple cider, girls will love this.

Fireworks in the middle of the night.

I woke up the next morning with a scream out of sheer horror to see the bugs we killed by sleeping on them. *eww eww eww*

I think this is the most beautiful picture I took.

Daddy and Brian pulling tapiocas.

Dragon fruit. I think it's pretty.

In conclusion, I'm a city girl and that won't change. I need wi-fi, washing machines, water heaters, microwave ovens, mamaks and pizza delivery.
