I realised I wrote a lot of crap in the previous entry. Bleagh.

Oh, DT fans, there's this vote cassie put up in yahoo groups.
Who do you think draco should tell he love them in DV? (b4 he dies if he does)
Hermione (he already has no point)
Ginny
Ron
Snape
Blaise (IM NOT PUTTING HARRY!)


And 68% chose Ginny! Hooray... and that includes me!

Anyway, Turkey, the DV christmas ficlet that I mentioned in my guestbook... it's not worth reading. It's gonna turn out slash, I know it. Sigh, the majority of the DT-crazed fans LOVE to make draco and harry gay every chance they get. Hahar.

I should say something bout my M'sia trip. But, really, there's nothing much. I went to KL first. Took the bus of course. Then took another bus to Langkawi - 7 hours drive. Langkawi's an island, so we had to get off first and take a ferry. The luggage we had was too much. 10 people... 15 bags.. really. We lugged it everywhere. My shoulder was about to give way.

Langkawi was nice. We rented this van and went around the place. I think it's a bit smaller than Singapore, and a lot less developed. We went to a waterfall... a padi field (practical Geog! hehe!), a craft museum... and the beach. Langkawi is quite a legendary place you know... let me tell the story. Long before your time...

The word 'Lang' is short for helang - which means eagle in english. 'Kawi' is a rock. According to them... there were lots of eagles sitting on rocks so... they named the island Lang-Kawi. hahar. Very funny.

There's also a legend about the island. There was once this girl, named Mahsuri, who was very beautiful. She captured the hearts of many men in the village. Everyone (well the guys at least) wanted to marry her. The village head wanted to make her his second wife, but his first wife would not hear of it. (Dah tua tak sadar diri...) So, Mahsuri married Wan Darus instead. Wan Darus was the village head's brother. Wan Darus left Langkawi for stg... (can't remember what) and Mahsuri was left alone at home with their child. There was a man named Deraman who visited Langkawi then. He was popular among the people and he stayed over at Mahsuri's house.

The village head's first wife, who hated Mahsuri, started rumours that Mahsuri and Deraman was having an affair. And so... Mahsuri was accused of adultery. Deraman fled the island. Mahsuri was tied to a tree to be later put to death. She, as well as her family, pleaded with the village people. No one would believe her innocence. And finally she was killed with her father's spear. The blood that spurted out from her body was pure white, signifying her innocence. Before she died, she cursed that Langkawi would see no peace and stability for seven generations.

ha... I'm getting bored... but the legend bout Mahsuri is supposedly true. Of course, by now the seventh generation has come and may even be gone. Mahsuri lived in 1819 lah. hmmm. Stamford Raffles was there...

Anyway, after that, I went to Penang. Very hot place. And came back. Ok, am getting bored and lazy. Sall come back next time.
