Just woke up! Can you tell?
It’s a cloudy and slightly rainy day in Singapore. No clear plans for today as yet… I might go to Marina Bay, the Esplannade, Funan Mall and see the Merlion… basically wander around and get lost. Not a bad way to spend my 27th birthday. 
Going to get dressed now. So excited!
I look tired.
Waiting for our SG-bound bus. I'm so excited!
And I’m officially in Malaysian soil! My flight last night got delayed quite a bit, so instead of the original arrival time of 1:00 AM, our plane got in at half past two. Which was actually fine by me, since I had planned to spend at least four more hours in the airport, to wait for daybreak before I made my way into the city. Having a delayed arrival meant that my planned waiting time was cut much shorter, meaning less time trying to fight off sleep and staying awake. And that’s a truly great thing, considering that between departure from the Philippines last night and arrival in Kuala Lumpur Sentral Station this morning (via bus from the Low-Cost Carrier Terminal or LCCT), I have had only three hours of uncomfortable shut-eye.
And now, I am finding that being sleepless while lugging around a heavy bag on your back does not mix well with sightseeing and wandering around a foreign city. I just want to find a someplace where I can curl up and nap for a bit… Some hidden corner here in KLCC, maybe? Gah my legs and feet are so sore tired all the walking I’ve done in the past couple of hours.
But enough whining–it’s time for some pics! Of course I took the requisite shot of the Petronas Towers, both from up close and from a distance away (KLCC Park, to be exact):
I got dizzy just from looking up at the soaring structure. Have I ever mentioned that I have a fear of heights? Yeah. Just thinking of what it’s like to be up on one of those topmost floors made my stomach feel queasy.
They’re a magnificent pair of buildings. Too bad that, since I’m travelling alone, I can’t have my picture taken with them. Still, I made do:
Yeah I know. I look tired. And I am tired. Touring is great and all, but… I wanna sleep. And take a bath. But sleep first. *Bawl*
Headed to Singapore later this afternoon. Hopefully the bus I’ll be taking to the Lion City will be sleep-conducive.
After an almost two-hour delay. Still, excitement!
Now at the airport waiting for my flight to Kuala Lumpur. So excited!
It’s been crazy these past couple of days. I tried to squeeze a workout in this Saturday but I found that I was too tired to do so. I’m not even kidding. I almost fell asleep while I was driving to the gym! Instead I pulled into the next parking lot I saw and took a half hour nap.
Still, the weekend wasn’t a total waste. My college friends and I went on a trip to Real, Quezon, to try out the little-known surf spot there. Since the surf season has already ended, the waves were a little small and far between. But when they came, the rides were awesome. Another great thing about the slow waves was that the swells were easy to spot and formed beautifully–languid and graceful parallel lines on the otherwise calm sea. It was gorgeous. ^_^
Tomorrow I leave for my Kuala Lumpur-Singapore trip. Work has been so busy that I haven’t even had time to plan and research my itinerary! All I know is that after spending half a day in KL, I’m taking the train to Singapore and that’s it. I hope that I survive this.
And that’s all for today. I’m off to finish packing my stuff–but before I go, I would like to share this stolen picture of me taken by my friend as we were waiting for the sun to rise in Real:
Can I just say how amazing my ass looks in this photo? All my life I have never known my ass to be so round and lifted–not even after my years of Taekwondo training–but here it is, immortalized in digital format. I have nothing else to owe it to except SQUATS–the at-or-below-parallel, barbell kind. So to any lady who might be reading this–lift hard, lift heavy; but more importantly, squat heavy, and squat often. ^_^
…that my vacation trip to Kuala Lumpur and Singapore is in three weeks. And I still don’t have a plan in hand for it. So unprepared…
With love from La Union. All surfed out! Also, check out muh leg musclez!
My friends and I are in La Union for the Easter weekend, and I’m already feeling bad about it because of the poor food choices that were available to us the whole day. As is usual during these barkada (literally, “group of friends”) trips, we were very poorly prepared in terms of food and as such we always reach for what is readily-available: chips and soda. My tummy hurts from all the junk ingested today and on top of that I feel miserable about it.
