Pulau Lang Tengah

On Malaysia Week, my group of 16 and Mr. Whiting and Ms. Rector traveled to the east coast to Pulau Lang Tengah. The people in 6th grade were Grant, Seb, Ahmed, Tobi, Amber, and me. On the first day, we couldn't go to our island because it was raining to hard and the boat weren't allowed to go out to the sea. That day, we stayed at a nice hotel. We could choose our roommates (up to 5 people). Our room consisted of Grant, Ted, Ahmed, Seb, and me. We stayed up all night playing poker (betting with mentos). Ted kept on going All In with his mentos and if he won the round, he would start dancing on the poker table.

The next couple of day 3rd days, we came to the island and started kayaking and snorkeling. We stayed at a dorm style resort. During our stay, I roomed with Seb. During snorkeling, the coolest fish I saw was a shark and barracuda. We kayaked around the whole island on the 3rd day. The last day was the best. We did the amazing race around the island. We had to hike and kayak with our partner. I was with Daniel Lee and we came in 4th place out of 8 teams. Luckily, my kayak didn't capsize during the Malaysia Week. Overall it was a near perfect Malaysia Week. All of us enjoyed it.

Winter Break

Winter Break

On my winter vacation, my family and I took a road trip to Langkawi where we spent 3 nights at the Sheraton Hotel & Resort. We had an executive suite which was a great room that had two flat screen TVs, a Bose Ipod sound system and a cool jacuzzi bathtub. On our first day, we took a very long cable car ride up this huge mountain. On the top, we walked out on this awesome suspension bridge. Some parts on the bridge were creepy because when I was walking on the bridge, it started to shake and the bridge was about 1300 feet off the ground. However, the best part about the trip was that my family and I took a mangrove boat tour. The best part of the tour was that when my family and I were walking to a bat cave. I was holding a flashlight our boat tour guide gave us when suddenly a monkey came out of nowhere and attacked me. It started to scratch me until the flashlight dropped out of my hand, then the monkey got off me and went for the flashlight. Our tour guide shot the monkey with a slingshot which made the monkey let go of the flashlight. Our tour guide grabbed the flashlight, we went into the bat cave got back in the awesome tour boat and we were back on the tour. I went to Singapore and Penang too, but i like this one the best. That is my moment for my 2008/2009 Winter Break.
