3 days and counting...

So less than 3 days now unti I leave KL and I'm beginning to panic that I'm not going to get everything done in time. Even though I've been away from home for so long now (nearly 2 years) I'm still useless at packing and always end up bringing a bunch of stuff I don't ever use. However, this time I'm determinded to only bring essentials and to have a half empty backpack (for future purchases!), but somehow that's easier said than done.

That said, I am doing good on my plan to meet up with some of my relatives before I leave, so thats a start. Earlier today I went over to see my grandma and uncles family in Klang, a town on the outskirts of KL and tomorrow I'm meeting up with my mum's youngest brother's family and also an aunt on my dad's side. Anyone else will just have to wait until I'm next back in Malaysia, which hopefully won't be too long a wait.

I don't think I'll be able to update my travelblog website too much more before I leave KL on Sunday, which is a shame because my aim was to get up to date - perhaps I was aiming too high! I've only added one new post in the past month or so and I'm still 9 (soon to be 10) countries behind...!!

Today, though, I did discover something new and very exciting! Well, I found it very exciting, not sure if anyone else would! While browsing a local drugstore, similar to that of Boots and Superdrug back home in England, Danny came across a pair of pinhole glasses that were for sale on the pharmacy counter. He said they were for helping to improve eyesight and I just laughed, thinking how could a pair of very stupid looking glasses (imagine black sunglasses with a loads of holes in the lens) help improve eyesight. That was until I took my own glasses off and put the pinhole ones on... and tada!! I could see!! Well, maybe not perfectly, but I could still see much better than without my glasses. Apparantly, with regular use they can actually help improve eyesight. I think I just might buy myself a pair if I see them again in the shops.
