Marvelous Malaysia Week!

Malaysia Week was the BEST!!
The memories I had from it will always stay in my head.
During Malaysia Week I made friends with people I never imagened to be friends with.
And I think the Malaysia Week really showed me determination, because while I was climbing the mountain I almost gave up on myself. So with that boost of determination, I was able to take that extra step.

Good/funny memories.

Good/funny:
During Malaysia week there were many good and funny memories. Frist of all, when we were in this chinese temple, there were MANY secadas. So I tapped my friend, who was walking next to me, and I said " Oh my god helena, there are so many escadas!" She starting laughing. It was pretty funny. Oh and if you don't know what secadas are, they are a type of bug that makes a lot of nosie. and if you don't know what escadas are, it a type of makeup brand (i think). I was pretty off wasn't I? Another good memory was the second last day. We had a BBQ, and we shared a presentation, about what we have learned over the past few days, and we played a fun game. But I must admit that is was a pretty sad time as well, because we were going to leave the very next day, so it was kinda sad to think that our trip was all coming to an end. Another good memory is, crossing this river. We were hiking back down, and it had rained all night. So as we came across a river, the water was pretty high. So we had to use a rope to get to the other side. But the most funniest part about crossing that river was, getting splashed with water while walking across, it was funny because I asked them not to splash me, but they did anyways. My last memory I will share is, reaching the bottom of the mountain, because nice dorms awaited us, as well as nice (-ish) toilets, and showers.
But maybe one down side was getting a really ichy leech bite. And a few mosique bites. But other then that, the trip was great, as well as the food.
One last thing is that, although on the first day I became kind of homesick, my friends changed that around, because they made me laugh, and I just forget about home for awhile. And I think the guides were a great help, because when we hiked up the mountain half way, there was a land slide that happened over night because of the rain, and the Gunug Tahan group couldn't continue all the way up, because it would be too dangerous. So they had to hike back down with us. And really they weren't expecting us all to be done there, and I think the guides did a GREAT job at finding activities to do for the remainder of the trip.
And I can't wait for more Malaysia Week memories to come. =)

A look at my life....


Hi, I'm Shazreen, but people call me Shaz. I'm 12 years old, and I've been at I.S.K.L for 8 years. And I have been living in Malaysia for my whole life. There are many things I enjoy doing, but my favorite is running, as well as going on the computer, and as well as shopping. I also enjoy my classes I have at school, but I must say that I don't quite like math. I find it a difficult subject. Ok now I will tell you about where I live. I live in Kuala Lumpur. To me its a great place to live, although its hot and sweaty. Malaysia is a place where you can find a lot, and I repeat ALOT of jams. Especially in the morning. But once you get out of the city side, and get into a ore quiet side of Malaysia it' really beautiful. It's all nice and green. But one thing I you can find in the city , is all the tall buildings. You can find a lot of cool things. From little souvenirs, to really good food. 
Well thats just a little about me, and were I live. 
Hope to talk to you soon. 

BYE!
