Title: A few happenings of the last few weeks
Post by: Setekh on January 18, 2005, 08:43:26 am
So I've been a bit absent over the past month - thought I'd give you a picture of what I've been up to during that time. ;)

^^ Xbox system-link partied with buddies at a mate's house.

(http://www.3dactionplanet.com/hlp/staff/setekh/kygraduation.jpg)

^^ Watched my sister graduate as a dentist in the University of Sydney.

^^ Marvelled at the water features of a mosque in Brunei (on transit to Malaysia).

^^ Sweated in Kuala Lumpur (the Malaysian capital).

^^ Been pushed around the streets of Shenzhen (southern China).

^^ Visited probably the world's largest butterfly farm (Kuala Lumpur).

^^ Got our head in the clouds of the Genting Highlands (Malaysia).

^^ Become so homesick, started to see Australia everywhere we looked.

Man, it was a blast. Any questions? :)

That's awsome.
Very good summary, unlike a friend of mine who went on holiday and then upon return his only comment when I asked him "How was it?" was "Yeah good.".

Go the crystal Xbox, where's the copies of Halo2 sitting ontop of them? :D

Thanks, Rictor. It was really funny with that piece of bread actually, for a moment I felt like one of those people who finds the Virgin Mary in cheese sandwiches and stuff. ;)

Thanks Styxx, I'll pass on the congrats. "Hey, Kylie? A Brazilian thinks that you've done good." *stunned silence*

And cheers, Grug. Actually, what was the most difficult was picking what not to show you guys... over the three and a half weeks, I took about 3000 photos. :nervous: Also, sorry, I was so busy arranging all those controllers that I forgot. :D

Genting isn't really a part of KL, but what does it matter in the scheme of things eh?

Cheers HIG, that's one of my favourites too. I think I learnt a lot about photography on this trip, in fact - I guess taking a hundred plus photos each day will do that to you. :)

Sorry Tiara. Just telling it like it is. :p

Thanks for the correction RK, that was a slip of my copy and paste. Adjusted accordingly. Speaking of which, Genting was really nice - it's great how just an hour away from the capital, you're pretty much in the middle of the forest. The weather is great there, too.

Mmm, bit too cold and damp for me myself. All me buddies seem to really love the place for some reason. Where else did you go, I'm curious?

Sure, I might as well put up a more detailed version of where I actually went. It was basically like this:
So for what I thought was just going to be a trip to KL, it actually gave us a lot of opportunities for travel. Actually, in those three weeks, I think I literally travelled more than I had in the rest of my life. We almost went to Singapore for a couple of days, too. :)

Not around here. I dunno wha Sydney's like, but a dentist doesn't make much more than your average GP over here (Which is still not vast amounts).
