Keeping up with everything.

hiya guys yes i am back safe and sound, so for those of you sweet ones who thank god for my return, bless you, and for those who are going ‘dammit why didnt the waves suck him up’ then screw you =P

anyway so i promised a first hand account on my trip to sri lanka but since the inccident i guess i’ll just put in ‘the best moments of sri lanka’.that’ll save me alot of typing and save YOU alot of boring details.still the sweet old me arent i ^^

ok…so…incident number 1 yea you guessed it the tsunami

curiously enough on christmas day i arrived in Beruwella…right by the eastern coast of sri lanka.the night was relatively normal except that i found out that the hotel had internet access…so i ran to one of the two comps and started my online session.while i was somewhere in hotmail i notice this extremely cute caucasian strolling around the reception which i pointed out to my sis.moments later with me alone in that room of 2 comps this gal walked in and asked a very startled me ‘is this comp free?’ erm..yea i blurted out.a lil while after that i went to sleep.

the next day me and my siblings went for breakfast at 9-nish and was enjoying it when i noticed a lone guy running towards the restaurant.’weird ass’ i muttered..then i saw behind him a bunch of locals and tourists doing the same.i stood up, alil curious and scared, to see what was going on.and then it came.

the water came pouring behind them and the people in the restaurant, each of them as curious as i was all started to move towards the exits.i grabbed me siblings and looked to my parents for instructions.’get back to our rooms!’ my dad said.we rushed back with the water slowly seeping behind us.we packed up our stuff as precaution..and got out the brooms and stuff to sweep the mess outta our rooms.(it was a lil flooded) ran around..took a some pictures while discussing what happened.then suddenly from the sea(i had a clear view) a wave around 10m i think rose up and i was like SHIT.i slapped our sliding window shut and told me bro and sis ‘GET TOWELS!’the three of us started stuffing them at the cracks of glass door while watching the water level outside rise.as i looked to the horizon, i muttered..oh my god.before my eyes a second and third wave was emerging, and telling me sibling to abondon the towels,we grabbed out luggage in time to meet our parents with THEIR luggage.we ran to the lobby where everyone gathered.people were crying and just when i settled down a local ran in screaming’RUN!!RUN!!’ i was like oh shit what now…so we ran out to where the cars normally dropped the people and there i saw gallons and gallons of water rushing from both sides of the hotel.my dad sensing it wasnt safe enough told us to move upwards.we ran back into the lobby and up the stairs through the banquet room and up to the roof of the hotel.from there we had a clear view of the whole sea and it was just churning and sucking everything into it. at that moment i had my thought first on my family and then on two people…nvm who, and later my frens from elc and college.i was like shit,…now i would never have the chance to say how i love them all.

god was with us i guess as after a few hours of waiting..the water lvl started to subside.me dad decided not to stay any longer and made the crucial decision to move.with our luggage on our heads,we waded out of the hotel and into the main road…which was perfectly dry.

after that it details arent that important, we manage to somehow find our way to colombo, the capital of sri lanka.

the flooding after the first wave outside our room 

the second one was in a place called sigiriya.we climbed this rock called the sigiriya rock which was like 200m high?or even higher i think.what was amazing that the were ruins of a winter palace there..build some 2500 years ago by a king in just 7 years..beneath the huge rock was a summer palace, with rock, water and flower gardens.


sigiriya rock..yea we climbed that all the way to the top 

the gardens and pools were amazing, and it was kept alive by the most ingenious water system, almost seemingly impossible to achieve some 2500 years ago.the main water source was from a 8km wide lake, which through underwater channels are diverted into firstly the kings personal diving pool,fully equiped with diving board and changing rooms.the water then goes though a man made fountains, fiters and into the swimming pools for his 500 maidens.

see that line there?its where the diving board used to be 

the kings seat by his pools to watch his maidens bath 

when he got bored of his 500 maidens, he could go into him caves and stare at his paintings of his topless maidens, or walk through the gardens of his huge summer palace

his topless cafe…bet he sipped lanka tea here 

gardens of summer palace..with ruins of palace 

the climb up was a long one but it was worth every step. the view was magnificent and it makes you wonder how the hell the people of the past did this so long ago.its calling, the eighth wonder of the world is seriously eiligible.

from the top…and another one of his pools there 

his gardens and all from the top…beautiful 

me…on the rock 

i’ve got more to say i guess but i’mlazy now and tired…hehe so i’ll leave you with two candid pics =P

sign of malaysians getting desperate..=P 

my lil sis in cloud 9 =P 

this entry is dedicated to sarah quek me bestest friend who has stuck by me through thick and thin and probably the only person i can confide to without thinking twice.she has taugh me how to laugh, to enjoy and to have fun..brought out the yow keat in that grumpy old dwarf shell..and more importantly..taught me how to dance!

sarah i dont know if u would see this or read this cuz i know u hardly read blogs but i wanna tell you how much i appreciate everything from you.that someone up there is cruel and in ur last few days here, he has somehow forbid me to see you..besides in time square that is but even that was like…so…brief.

its not like i wouldnt see you ever again but you leaving to australia marks the start of ur stay there over a span of say 4 to 5 years and you will only spend like 30% of your time here.i do not have confirmation on when i would be going down to australia..thus i cannot phantom on how sorely missed you would be to me.i will miss your laugher your consoling and ur sweet hugs and so many things that i just cant put down in black and white.

today i leave for sri lanka and whilst i’m on the plane you would be dancing your shoes away in that party of yours that i had missed.trust sme i have tried EVERYthing to stay back and not go there but as i said…some things just dont go my way.sad huh.

i dont really know how i would react to ur leaving as i have never cried before at someones departure to another country especially one that close.but everytime i think of it its like….i am on the verge of tearing but ..it just doesnt come out.like…in sunway p.oh sarah theres so many things i can say now but that is simply just it.i have too many things to say.now thinking of it…yea i feel like crying again.i mean..who am i to turn too now?emailing, yes but its just not the same dont you think?

i cant even think of a poem for you.i still have the old one though wanna hear it again?

to australia you leave 2moro,

leaving me here ..

oh nevermind i dont want my keyboard to get flooded.

miss you and love you sarah and take care…till goodness knows when we’ll meet again…

yow keat.

at last my few if not non-exsistant blog-readers, i have posted.rejoice as this blog comes to life again with my writing…ooo i am just so full of myself now i dont know why.\must be my testosterone drive.=P you know what they say…late puberty.hey..that means i might be getting that few inches after all!…HEIGHT you dumbasses what were you thinking?!HEIGHT GEDDIT not LENGTH!sheesh.

well yea.as i was saying.i am feeling so full of myself now…i am sexy man.i’m the man.quoting tjiawen…bask in the brilliance/sexiness that is mebwaahahahaha.and if you dont agree how sexy i can get….well…erm..erm…your loss then.HAha!i’ll let someone else savour my sexiness…eh?!where everyone going?

^^ toodles

my life after what seems to be the Dark ages have reverted back to light…so far.i’ve got my old pals back and my results are beginning to look promising.driving to school so far’s been a breeze and i’ve got the luxury of going where i want as long as i tell my mum.2day was probably the longest drive i’ve clocked….from sunway college to ss2 and then from there after guitar to bangsar shopping center to surprise sarah and steph who were selling chocolates!haha and FINALLY i got my long overdue hugs that i need all the time like ck but unlink her i am…erm…able to at the moment restrain from throwing myself at everyone that comes into sight.

so with all this whats the result?a much happier lil yk i am happy to report and i suspect that sunway college, or well at least MUFY will be seeing more of my smiles and hear my crazy laugher echo through the halls of education again.*sounds so dramatic huh =P oh yea i’m good*
