Jangan Duduk Disini
I got back from a week spent in my mom's hometown, Kota Bharu, with my grandma, aunt, and cousins. It was nice to spend one week there by myself for the first time in my life, but there were some things that occurred that I am not so happy about, however that's for another story. Last night I arrived to Kuala Lumpur to spend my last two days of my China/Hong Kong/Malaysia portion of THE QUEST with some more family. Today I actually went to see if I could go surfing in the middle of Kuala Lumpur, the city! I suddenly remembered this morning an article that came out in a surfing magazine a couple months ago about some pro surfers surfing a wave pool in Kuala Lumpur. I was actually able to find the exact same wave pool, but to get the waves that the pro surfers surfed, as described in the article, one had to pay $370 USD/hr. to rent out the whole place and crank the wave height up. I still tried to go surf there, but found out that you had to get there several hours early to reserve a spot because only 12 people at a time were allowed to surf the one hour surf session that occurred once a day. It turned out that the wave the pool produced was about half a foot high and the 12 surfers were crammed into a small surfing area. On the other hand, when I have $370 to waste, and for some insane reason I've decided I would rather go to some wave pool in Kuala Lumpur rather than fly to Indonesia, then yes it would probably be slightly fun. On a slightly different subject, I have gotten a hold of an ancient Chinese Kung Fu training manual (translated to english) on a skill considered to be a lost art of China. The ironic part is that when I asked people about this supposed Lost Art of China when I was in China they just laughed at my face. That's all I'll say at this point other than that I've been looking for a training manual for this skill for several years now and I am quite overjoyed.
Well I'll be home in about 2.5 days, so I'll talk to you all soon. I'm going to try and upload some photos to the internet that can be accessed by a link on the right side of this page.
PEACE, LOVE, and ROCK n ROLL
