Christmas was a bit different this year.. No staying up till 12am (lolol what staying up?? Normal sleeping time also 6am fml), wishing everyone Merry Christmas, opening presents, trying to persuade your doberman to let go of that christmas ornament or else (I swear it isn't even funny anymore).. I kind of missed that. I never realized how important that was to me until now.
Spent christmas with this bunch of people at, of all places, Kuala Selangor. Not exactly very christmassy, but it was fun nonetheless. Errrr at least the fireflies do make up for good christmas lightings HAHAHA.
Stayed at Fireflies Park Resort. At first it seemed a bit, well, unlike most hotels I'm used to: big, shiny and clean. It was so last minute and spontaneous anyway so what did we expect hahaha. It's a water chalet, but in reality its more like just little huts sitting on a swamp. Probably only slightly more atas than Shrek's swamp hahaha. Not that we minded, I'd prefer the company > accommodation any day please.
Uh, maybe except the toilet la hahaha. The door couldn't close and there wasn't any warm water.. So I survived on 3 small scoops of boiled kettle water + cold water LOL aiya one day mandi kerbau won't drop dead stinking with flies one la.
Had awesome seafood for our christmas dins!
Also went to go see the firefiles at the Kampung Kuantan Fireflies Park. It was RM50 per boat, which fits up to 4 people.. And it wasn't anything like we expected seriously. Before this, we all sort of imagined it to be swarms of fireflies in the air, surrounding the boats and all, but it isn't anything like that. Its just a short trip down the river, no fireflies in sight. If you look hard enough at the bushes along the river, it does look somewhat like little Christmas trees, which is actually quite pretty, but not as marvelous or as enchanting as everyone thinks. I did managed to catch one though, and it's adorable! They fly really slow and they're not afraid of people catching them. It was so pretty watching it sit, glowing on your hand in the dark, then watching it fly away. Unfortunately, no, it's really not a place for photo opportunities as everything is pitch black, but I wish I could!
I guess even though it's not really the traditional Christmas I'm used to, it was still pretty darn amazing. Few years ago, I would've never thought I'd have friends like these, now I do and I must be pretty lucky. Or just normal.
