9/19 Almost Deported
Today, I went for the 3 month cycle of going in and out of Malaysia. This time I went to Singapore and back on the same day. Sadly, on the way back, one of the immigration officers were in a bad mood. They went to report to one of the superiors that I've been coming in and out for almost two years now 😂. Apparently, they said I'm the longest person they've let come in and outside of Malaysia. I feel somewhat proud of that achievement. My dad was somehow able to convince them to let me in one more time. I will not forget how I was slightly scared that there was a chance I could've been deported.

9/9 + 9/10 + 9/11
9/9 was my birthday. It was a pretty normal day for me but I had a nice dinner.
9/10 though was a pretty fun day. I hung out with my cousin and his friends for the whole day. We started the day by going to Batu Caves and climbed up the 222 steps. I was in born in Malaysia and I've visited over the summers and it's sad to say it was my first time going there. It was a good experience. After that we went to eat at Banana Leaf. The food there was on point; I highly recommend eating the lamb there! Moving on, we went to the KL bird park. Unfortunately, it was raining so had to wait about an hour before we could walk around the park. It was actually quite interesting to see all the types of birds in the park. Next, we went to Carcosa Seri Negara. They wanted to go because it was nearby and it was where the movie, Crazy Rich Asians, was filmed at. Ended the day by eating Bak kut teh near my grandpa's hotel.
9/11 I got to try fencing. It was pretty fun and far from what I thought it would be in my ahead. It was really tiring but I had fun.

9/2 Sunday Church
Today, I went to my cousin's Christian church. There were two parts, the communion and the youth group. It was an interesting experience. I was surprised that there was so much singing; it was almost an hour for each part so about two hours. The pastors were really enthusiastic being the emcee and talking about God. The people there were so passionate about their belief in God. It was so strong that I could feel it at the end when some of the youth group leaders prayed for me that God would give me a vision or something and that I would one day follow Christianity. It was actually a bit scary at how strong the belief in God was for some of the people. Even after this experience, I wish to remain a free believer because I feel that there is no right or wrong religion so one shouldn't have to devote them self to one single religion. In addition to that, it's good to be open to anything and be able to not restrict oneself to a single religion. Next post will be on my birthday which is next week. I'll be 22! Double digits of my favorite number!
