Everyone needs compassion
And love that never fails
Let mercy fall on me
When everyone needs forgiveness
Kindness of the Saviour
The Hope of the nation
Saviour, He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
So take me as you find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything that i believe in
Now i surrender
Shine a light in and
let the whole world see
Singing, for the glory of the risen king
Jesus, Shine a light and
let the whole world see
Singing for the glory of the risen king

hello!
I shall now blog about my exciting trip to malaysia that happened a week ago.
We[family=father+brothers] left Singapore on thursday for KL to my uncles house to stay for a day before heading up to penang to visit my Grandma.
The car ride up was rather boring. There is a vast difference between the scenery on the way up from Johor to Kuala Lumpur and from KL to Penang. The scenery from Johor to KL is absolutely boring all plantations.[to those who are thinking of going to KL, make sure you sleep super duper late the night before to ensure you sleep in the car in order to miss the boring part-this does not apply to drivers though].
OKK, back to the trip. So we reached our Uncle's house at about 8 at night[i think there was a stupid jam somewhere] had dinner which the maid cooked, which was nothing fantastic and then went to sleep.
The next day Dad and I went to have Breakfast at some coffeeshop. We had Choa Kway Teow and Prawn Mee. Malaysian Choa Kway Teow and Prawn Mee is totally different from the Singapore version. Singapore Choa Kway Teow got the stupid sweet black sauce that make the whole thing taste like sweet and its super wet. Malaysia one on the other hand is drier and without the blacksauce. The Prawn Mee is also different but I lazy to say why.
After that we go to the One Utama shopping center to go the bookshop there. There got 2 Bookshops that are quite big which are TIMES and MPH[malaysia publishing House i think].
I got one book but my dad bought like 5 cost over 200 bucks[ringgit for those who care about such details] though.
Afterthat we went back to my uncles house to eat dinner and sleep.
The next morning which is a Saturday morning[for those who have a problem with dates and numbers], we headded up to Penang. The Highway runs through the mountainous regions near Ipoh and the view there was NICE. My ears keep popping though[ this is due to the rapid increase in ALTITUDE/HEIGHT-for those science nutts]. Passed the usual scenery of the mountains, the temple in the Cliffs, the cement factories, the granite quarries. sorry no picture hor, cause when in the car then moving quite fast then my camera is the lousy type so take already will blur, drive slower also cannot as i not driving. next year i try to take picture la k.
Anyway i think that every year there is a granite hill disapperaing there sia. 10 years ago and now the difference is super noticable like all the hills disappear.
Lucky for you all ah, theres such thing call internet. so got PICTURES

The car ride took about 3 plus to 4 hours. We soon reached Juru[the name of the place my Grandma stays]. This place so ulu until the picture also don't have. It is near the town of Butterworth. This one got picture but you all see already also dunno.
My Grandma house is a single story house that has 4 rooms i think. we took one of the rooms. so we stayed there for about 3 days till monday[once again for those who have a problem with dates and numbers].
On one of the days i think it was a Sunday we made the short trip over to Pulau Pinang[Penang Island for those who dont understand malay]. We went to a shopping center call Gurney Plaza which was located near the coastline. Did some shopping there. Afterthat my dad went to collect the Tau Saur Peah which he had pre-oredered. The shop is so popular that they need you to order one day in advance. Walk-in sales are subject to the availability of Peah. This time we did not go to eat the DAMN NICE DAMN SHIOK CHENDUL though.
Places to visit on Pulau Pinang include Pinang hill and maybe the snake temple.
