Yah!!! I'm back from kl.... the last few days was an absolute adventure man.... though i'm not really glad to be back cuz i dread going back to work again...but i guess all good things must come to an end... Haiz.... Anywayz, here's the lowdown on my trip...
DAY 1
Friday Night
Met up with charmain at yishun mrt... took the mrt down to the train station in tanjong pagar.... of course, had to slowly find our way there first...hehe... hopeless in navigation...both of us...anyways, we reached there on time to board the train...after all the usual immigration shit at the station, we went to our beds in the train... not bad man, though the beds were kinda high up and it was a real hassle to keep climbing up and down... Reaching Johor, being both the swakoos that we were, we were wondering when we had to dismount the train to get our passports stamped by immgration... funnily enough, that never came, which left us both confused and puzzled... hmmm... tired of waiting, we slacked and subsequently fell alseep....zzzzz....
DAY 2
Saturday
W e reached KL Central train station at around 0645 in the morning... still puzzled about the passports, we loitered around the station looking for assistance.. however, bloody information booth was closed so we had breakfast first after walking aimlessly for half an hour... by the time, the booth opened, that is when upon asking that we found out how swakoo we were.. it seems the train system had switched to computers and would not require the stamping of passports anymore... no words could describee how 'stone age' i felt man... anyways, we made our way towards Bukit Bintang to look for a hotel... As i mentioned earlier about my hopeless navigational skills, we took a wrong turn and spent an hour in the morning trying to look for the hotel we had targeted..Worst thing was when we finally found it, it was full... so we walked around a bit more and settled into a hotel down the street along Jln Alor... not bad... RM 75 a night... thats about $35 plus a night... after settling in, wasted no time and went to walk around... all in all, we must have visited all the shoppig centres in the area, say for a fewbought for myself a new lava lamp... visited the night market in Chinatown at night.... thats was the cream of the crop man... Bargains and cheap stuff were the itenary for the night...ended up buying a new wallet for myself...... ended up back in the hotel at about 10 plus, all tired out...
DAY 3
Sunday
Woke up at 10 plus that day... Charmain was already up and ready to move... I tell you, women will do anything when it comes to shopping... We started by going over to Pudu Raya Bus station to buy our bus tickets back to Singapore... At Rm25 ech, we got a steal man... after that, we walked throughtout the city... pass St John's church... Walking towards the Petronas Towers... Sight to behold man... After photo-slutting for half a day there, went to have a look at Zouk KL... Not bad..looks beautiful on the outside... Next time, that will be my first destination... We then walked along Jln Sultan Ismail all the way back towards our hotel... at night, we ended up back in China for more night shopping... that is when i discovered my fav food was there... Hokkien Mee, KL style...i tell you, its the best... grew up eating that.. freaked the hell out of Charmain though cuz it was really all fatty and stuff... hehe... Anyways, stayed around the area before returning to the hotel at about 9 plus... Watched Malaysian Idol on Tv... sucks man... and i though Singapore Idol was bad... Both of us ended up doing crossword puzzles till we slept at around 2....
DAY 4
Monday
Today was a good day... woke up telling myself that i was on holi and need not go back to work... itell u the feeling is great... anyway, as usual, charmain woke up before me we made our way to the bank to withdraw out some cash.... thats is how dangerous shopping can be man... we den took a cab to Sunway Lagoon... Long time since i last went there... the place still looks exactly the same... took lots of photos and rides till we went quesy in the knees... hehe...Thankfully charmain found a bus leading us back towards Kota Rayam which was next to Chinatown.... took the bus back to Chinatown,back to the night market again...hehe... hopeless la the both of us...spent the last night shopping for bags and to Sungai Wang to look for DVDs....
DAY 5
Tuesday
Woke up and packed our stuff and went over to the bus station... Nothing much today.. boarded the 1030 bus and reached back to Signapore at about 330 in the afternoon....
Wished this trip would last longer man... Though i really missed all my frens in Sg and those not in Sg....Nvm, looking forward to the next trip in Sept... Mat and Co planning to go to some waterfall near Kuantan... Hopefully, if my schedule allows for it, can go.... Time to start praying....
