So I just got back from Malaysia and besides some reviews I still need to catch up on I of course have a massive amount of photos to share with you guys from my trip. In a nutshell, my friends and I spent most of the time shopping, eating, getting pampered, going on an awesome nature side trip and laughing like never before (way too many private inside jokes to share).
For now I will share a quick pic of my holiday - me holding a huge live python around my neck. I still have no idea what took over me and made me jump at the chance to wrap this scary thing around my body. Perhaps it was the "well how often do you get this chance?" type thinking. In short I was terrified. My knees were actually shaking from fear and there's one pic I will show you guys later where my eyes read as distinct terror. I was proud I did it yet so damn scared at the same time.
I asked the usual questions most sane people would ask: "When did it last eat? Will it kill me?" but despite it being a week since it last ate a chicken and the knowledge that the meat on my bones would probably keep it satisfied for the next four years I still went ahead while silently telling myself "you are totally going to shit your pants today". I'm happy to say I did not, although I did wobble away on very shaky knees. The adrenaline rush put me on a bit of high I must say.
The snake was incredibly heavy - my neck was killing me even after they took the snake off. It was like one massive long muscle wrapped around me. I was worried the whole time that it was going to cross over my chest and start squeezing my neck, all the while trying to make sure the head stayed away from my body which was hard to do. Apparently at one time it started for my armpit - I think that was about the time the snake's handler stepped forward it took it back.
I'm glad I did it but I can't deny I was terrified the whole time. There is something primitively built into us as humans to instinctually be afraid of snakes. Instant death and all, I suppose, lol.

Until I get myself seated down and focus on blogging a lot more later this week this will do for now, but remember to enter both of the current giveaways. The Rezeda Suleyman $100 gift voucher giveaway ends in a few days and the PHB Beauty giveaway has been extended for another two weeks. Make sure you enter both!
