Kenny (not his real name) says:

i should find freinds to do more outdoor activities

i stay indoors too much

and lately always feeling tired

i need to go to places with more trees

but yet in UK i never felt to tired that often

felt so* tired

my group of friends is starting to get boring

everytime go out is either movie or dinner

thats all

UGLY MALAYSIANA say:

maybe try to find new itineraries ?

Kenny says:

suggestions?

UGLY MALAYSIANA say:

if you want trees.. maybe go picnic somewhere in a nice-ish park...??

i know our parks here not like UK parks lor but can be possible.. berkelah... bukit belacan/

?

Kenny says:

need to find friends to do that lor

my friends all the shopping mall type not the nature type

hence my urgent need for new friends

im starting to feel like a black sheep

since i came back from UK

i feel so integrated in UK, over here ppl's interests are just so different

and mundane

UGLY MALAYSIANA say:

how was it there.. what would you do to spend time?

dont your friends get bored with malls??!

Kenny says:

al fresco dining, parks, music events, picnics, walk to the country side, botanical gardens

basically i can just get a ticket hop onto a train and sit till the last station and just wander around that area until im satisfied

UGLY MALAYSIANA say:

many possibilities

Kenny says:

over here, last trains station is kelana jaya and gombak!? =.="

and out parks sucks

we dont have public open spaces to do people watching

when i people watch here, ppl stare at me one kind, so perasan

UGLY MALAYSIANA says:

so different hor

Kenny says:

i hate it

i know

sg has more outdoorsy activities to do than here

UGLY MALAYSIANA say:

Kenny says:

our parks here all filled with people just walking just for teh sake of walking

anyway time to go home

ttyl

muacks

"Best part is, you can't top up touch n gone at the new machines, you have to que with the rakyat to get it topped up since the dedicated touch n gone top up machines don't usually work."
