  In the boondocks again... After a hectic week of bike-purchasing and partying in Singapore and KL, I'm finally in the boondocks again. I took off for Singapore on the 5th and stuck around there to eat, relax and buy a bike (very stressful for a cheapskate like me). Singapore's like a big clean Ottawa but with great food. I was extremely strung out even though I was relaxing and on vacation; I think it had something to do with the anti-malarial medication I was taking. Eventually I met my friend Chad and we headed off for KL, crossing the strait of Johore by bike. Then we took an overnight bus up to KL, where we stayed in a sketchy hostel and managed to make it to the top of the Petronas towers (those really snazzy gothic twin towers). We're biking up to Laos now.  ¶ 11:52 a.m. 2 comments
