Giant Spiders and more!

I love going to Ma and Papa's new place. I miss them loads when I am here at Bangalore. That and their new house is on the mountains and a quick 10 minutes drive from the sea! Yeah! I am the ungrateful devil. Spiked tail n' all.

The lazy brat that I am, this time round Dad actually measured my day time on the garden hammock. It stood at a good 80% of my holiday duration. Not bad, huh? Well, you can't blame me. It puts the La-Z-Boy to shame. The dense evergreen forest infront of our garden beckons you. And if you get up a bit early you can play with the clouds floating by. Thats not all! While on this trip, I got lost trekking on a mountain and fought giant spiders; slept on street bench in Singapore for a good 2 hours in the night, but more on that later.

Malaysia is a haven for any nature lover. Tioman, Langkawi, Pekan, KL are all awesome places to flirt by. If you want to fall in love with the country you have to go to the local's favourites: Chempadak beach, where you can fly the most beautiful giant kites and get the cheapest and best foot massage, Panching waterfall, which forms a natural water pool you could swim in all day, and Taman Negara, their 130 million year old tropical forest which takes 10 days to trek across when the weather is clear.

A couple of places in this world have enchanted me yet - State Street at Madison, Chempadak beach at Kuantan and Clark Quay at Singapore. This place is alive. Even at 4 o'clock in the night! You can stroll down the river front, take a boat ride (they even do dinner for 2) and sit on the bridge lining the dusky sky and drink beer with friends. The restaurants that line up the river deck would take a month to sample! If you more of a party person then they even have a Ministry of Sound, which has not 1 but 5 whole discs.

Do visit if you are in Singapore sometime!
