It's been a little while since I last wrote a blog so there are a few days to catch up on. Let's start with Friday. We were invited over to one of Vickis friends for holiday drinks. Now as I don't drink all that much I half volunteered to drive later in the day so Vicki could drink. It was quite amusing and turned into a bit of a gathering in the end. So I ended up driving us to have something to eat which could have gone slightly better. There is a junction which I wasn't happy with and my fears were realised. It's the only time I've felt uneasy in the car. Anyway I drove us to Jerudong Park and we went to the gardens to watch a waterfall show. It was actually alright. The music was a mixture of Disney and pop. A few of Vickis friends joined us part way through and once it had finished we went back to the park. This turned out to be highly amusing as we ended up going on the pedalo boat things and tried racing each other around the lake. After that we wandered over to these hovercraft type things. They were a bit like dodgems but you were say on an inflated rubber ring. I couldn't go on these as the handles looked like they were made of rubber. We did go on the dodgems which was entertaining until a bloke flew at me head on at the same time someone smashed into my side and I ended up with a rather sore neck.
On Saturday I woke up with a very sore neck after the dodgems incident plus I felt poorly so we didn't really do anything. We ended up watching Saw 6 which was disgusting. When we went to bed I hid behind Vickis door and had closed mine to make it look like I had gone to bed. As she walked passed my room she said goodnight, walked into her room and that's when I said goodnight quietly behind her. This resulted in her turning round, hands to face and screaming in shock. I actually nearly wet myself through laughing so hard. In fact I'm still laughing now. Apparently she is going to get her revenge. I really wish I had recorded it because it was hilarious.
On Sunday I felt really poorly so did absolutely nothing. I felt a bit bad for Vicki but it felt like my head was going to explode.
Today I felt much better and after going shopping for walking shoes we went for a walk to try them out. After this we went to the Empire for a swim. Now I hate water and haven't been swimming since my school days. Not only did I have to contend with that but I had to brave a public place in my newly acquired swimwear. It took a while but eventually I was brave enough to recline on the sun bed albeit tensely. After a little while we went to the pool. It may sound strange to most people but it was really difficult for me to get in but I did. I didn't swim more bounced across the pool. Eventually my confidence grew and I stayed in whilst Vicki got out. I'm quite pleased I did it because it's something that I have known I had to do but was dreading. Let's put it this way, when we went to Corfu I wouldn't even dangle my legs in the water. That's how much I hate it. Maybe I'm becoming braver in my old age?
Tomorrow we are off to Langkawi and I can't wait. It looks like such a beautiful island. There are definitely going to be plenty of photo opportunities. I'm really looking forward to going but it is slightly overshadowed by the fact that on Sunday we will be at the Malaysian GP. So in the next week there will be lots to talk about.
