The Perfect Getaway: The Cloudy Windy Highlands of M'sia~

This was the M'sia coach.

Then continued lazing around in the bus. Either sleeping or eating.. mostly sleeping of course.. & we were seated at the back of the bus.. T_T The worst place to sit for long journeys.. Its like sitting on a 3-4 hour roller coaster ride on M'sia's bumpy roads.. nearly *pukes*..
