day 1we were leaving at nite.. so gave hf a lift to golden mile complex that nite.. my bro drove there.. parked at some hdb flats n walked to the hawker centre for dinner.. the void decks were littered with foreign workers, smelled like urine and alcohol and smoke.. it was like walking thru some hideous part of the city.. it was scary to haf to walk alone.. the tot of hf n i walking alone to the complex after dinner kinda scared me a little.. oh well.. had dinner.. but we were early so took a stroll to the complex.. after entering the doors, it was like 'welcome to thailand'.. smoke filled the air-conditioned room.. well.. the stalls selling food were quite interesting.. erm.. frog satay anione?.. the typical herbs filled the plates of anione there.. it was pretty enriching to walk thru the place.. not alone i suppose.. aniwae.. after that.. it was still early so my parents n bro dropped us off at opp golden mile while hf n i ventured the place to rot time away.. i went into 7-11 and bought tons of sweets, anticipating the fact that i'll get a sore throat already.. haha.. both of us were like 2 wierd ppl walking arnd wif backpacks.. we ventured into the cc to go toilet.. ha.. den we decided to walk to concourse.. on the way there, we met a scout friend.. ha.. he tot we were going backpacking.. ha.. oh well.. aniwae.. we couldnt turn back to walk so we just cross the road and walk to golden mile to see if the others were there already.. we checked in at 9.30pm.. only to find out that we could only board the bus at 10 plus.. so we sat outside n just stone.. ha.. finally boarded the bus, the seats were huge.. ha.. luxurious.. so that was it.. bye bye singapore.. off we went towards tuas checkpoint.. estimated time of arrival in cameron highlands was 6 am.. long long time.. the bus was speeding.. all the way.. rina said it was travelling at 130km/hr.. how true? but it was fast.. at the bends, it feels as if the bus gonna tilt man.. at least we got to cameron in one piece.. the driver even asked us to sleep when we were going up cameron.. dun see the surrounding better.. minus the stimulation to get giddy.. haha..
