Family Holiday @ Pulau Perhentian, Jun 14-16 2010 I called this a cliché of a holiday because it was such a typical getaway! Going to an island with clear blue waters to snorkel, dive and sleep. We had to get up at 4am to go to the airport. I don’t even know why my dad took those pictures of us at the airport – we all looked horrible. I mean come on, who feels like posing at 4am in the morning?! So there’s only one halfway decent picture of me on the first day and that was taken after we got to the resort.  You know how people always talk about white sands and clear blue waters? Well the way I grew up, the only beach I get to see on a regular basis is Gurney Drive in Penang and you know what THAT looks like. So when I saw this I went O.O 
And went around shouting ohmygod I can see the bottom!!! 
Very jakun. Oh well. 
 
And here is that halfway decent picture of me, my eyebags cleverly hidden with my mom’s frames. Oh and can you believe I went on an island getaway and FORGOT TO PACK MY FAKE SUNNIES?!   Papa and Mama cheesy-cheesying (; 
Okay so that’s the end of the first day. And here I have a confession to make. The other thing that we forgot to bring was the underwater camera. And so we spent a good amount of our time snorkeling and scuba diving, but no pictures to show for it. -________________________- But there were other more amusing sights. Like this one.  Aaah. 
They’re doing HOMEWORK. 
Bless them. (:  The guests all came to the beachfront to watch the World Cup matches every night. This was where I watched that disappointing Portugal-Ivory Coast match and just about gave up on the World Cup. 
They even had beach books so that you could have that sprawled-on-the-beach-reading-a-book look. O.O 
Somebody on the island is an England supporter!  
Mama and I posing before getting on the ferry back. (:  
My hair was getting blown about and my dad found it veeeeery amusing. –____- 
This is the little boy from the family that went on vacation with us. He ran off with my hat and tried to hide in it. :)  I caught him and made him pose as punishment. (:  
So that was my cliché of a holiday at Perhentian! And my captions are all super duper boring but what to do; no pictures of all the exciting coral and fish. ): I’m really upset that I can’t show you what it was like. It was a completely different world. All I have to remind me of that time in the sea are the cuts and scratches I got from the coral. The best I can say is go see Perhentian for yourself! No point heading all the way to the Bahamas when you’ve got something just as good right here. (: Labels: Events, Picture Post
INTRODUCING
Name: Louise
13 April 1992
You can only call me Lulu if you don’t think the name’s funny.
I am a member of the Smiley Conspiracy and a proud ex-CHS-ian, graduating class of 2009. Now doing A-Levels at HELP University College. Is proudly Malaysian, but doesn’t look like it and is proud of that too.
This is the 7th time I am editing this about section of the blog this year; I have sort of accepted that my personality is ever-evolving, ever-changing, therefore rendering my moods as volatile as the weather. But just as there are some things that have stood untouched across the centuries by harsh weather, so there are some things with me that remain ever the same: a belief that to live is to learn, and the ability to bounce back from setbacks.
What I love also remains constant. I love good food, dancing, fresh experiences, open minds and friendly people, all of which can be found in the wonderful wonderful city that is Istanbul. I love musicals, plays, good books, stickers, owls, colourful wrapping paper, hugs and kisses, chocolates, almost any music from the 17th to the 21st century, intense debates and post-it notes.
Fictional characters I have been compared to (in terms of personality) are Piglet from Winnie The Pooh and Kelsi from High School Musical.
I dream of finishing this list [29/8/2010: list is undergoing revamp!], and my secret ambition is to become a hairdresser or bartender. Unfortunately I’m also incredibly kiasu, so I’m going to go to university just to show everyone that I can. But want to go to uni also because I love learning lah!
Words that describe me are impulsive, impetuous, quixotic, sanguine, quirky, bewildered, kiasu and hodgepodge. The last one also refers to my sense of fashion.
*GRINS* :D
