got back from KL yesterday. wanted to update my blog yesterday. but no mood. hence, i'm updating it today. so let's start from day 1. and let me warn you. there is one part where it's going to get NASTY!!
DAY 1
met ain at simei station. didn't know that at even 6 in the morning that the train will be packed. reached school at around 7. waited for ham. mr teo said we were the first ones to use the new entrance to SP. yeah, whatever. the coach was late. went to tuas checkpoint. it was a breeze as it was a weekday. and there was 4 counters open. stopped at yong peng. the place is renovated. given a new look. but it was still ... ... reached KL at 1pm+. went to the city hall. the presentations they gave. seesh. it made me sleepy and i was trying hard not to fall asleep. but the place is royal looking. i mean the fabrics used on their chairs and walls were those with hues of gold in it. a two-toned fabric. it was pretty. checked into the hotel soon after. the hotel rooms were okay. i was kinda looking for a connected room. so the three of us could still be together. haha. we went to berjaya times square for our dinner. but ain and i decided to singgah the theme park. and it was so TEMPTING to go there the first night. but since there was only so little time left, we decided to watch a movie instead. we had dinner at kenny rogers. hehe. my craving is satisfied. watched the longest yard and i have a feeling that they cut a lot of scenes. but for RM9, i couldn't care less. we reached the hotel room quite late. we had a curfew at 11pm.
DAY 2
woke up early. hammie and ain were pissed at some yr1 boys cause they took their seats. haha. reached KLCC at around 10am. waited until 11am to take the lift to the skybridge. and it was a beautiful sight. took pictures and i will post it soon. walked around the shopping centre. and i bought a roxy wallet. hehe. i had a hard time picking the wallet i liked. there were so many. while at quicksilver, there was this cute guy who worked there. and being ain and ham, they decided to ogle at him. haha. after that we keep walking in front of quicksilver just to get a view of the guy. after that, we went somewhere. i forgot where. but i know we went to royal selangor factory. a pewter factory. they served us drinks in pewter cups. dee, for our future home, we should have pewter cups. it won't break and the cold water will stay cold longer. haha. got back to the city. by this time, ham was already dizzy. because of the long bus ride and the traffic jam. there was a debate whether we should have dinner or go to the theme park. in the end it was both. we had dinner at lot10. and we walked to berjaya for the theme park. we took the rollercoaster first. and i sat in front alone. and it EXHILIRATING!!!! fun. after that we decided to take the DNA mixer. i forgot how crazy the ride was until after the ride. poor ham got even dizzier afterwards. so she sat aside and looked on as ain and i took the dizzy izzy. after that, we decided to take the rollercoaster again. this time we took 2 times straight. muahaha. this is where it gets nasty. we sat on a bench while we look at the DNA mixer ride. only about 6 peeps were on it. among the few was this indian guy. halfway through the ride he was shaking his head. a few moments later he vomitted. while he was still on the ride. and the vomit was splashed on the front screen of the ride. and the ride kept going. the DNA mixer kept turning and turning. and the guy vomitted again. there were peeps watching the ride, right in front of it. and to think that they would move away. but they didn't. so they got some vomit splattered all over. the 3 of us walked away from the place asap. like i said, ham was already dizzy. so she vomitted too. this time on the floor. didn't make it on time to the dustbin she was aiming. ain was also nauseated by it. but luckily she didn't puke. we helped ham wash up. and quickily left the shopping centre. later that night, my roommate, evangeline, and i didn't sleep. we went to ain's and ham's room to wait for sahur. went to the hotel's kopitiam and got back to our respective hotel rooms at 3 in the morning. ahaha.
DAY 3
went to putrajaya. and the buildings there were a beaut. everything seemed grand. the mosque was dark pink. something i've never seen before. but the shopping centre there is boring. nothing much. after that we went to the chocolate factory. ham and i didn't go cause we wanted to sleep. after a few minutes at the factory, we went to petaling street. all that hype about shopping at petaling street was dampened by the rain. i can honestly say that there's nothing there except the usual fake LV bags, swatch watches and NIKE shoes. i wanted to get ESCADA's Rockin' Rio perfume. but i thought it was better if i bought the original. one word of advice. DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE VENDORS WHEN THEY CALL FOR YOU. NO MATTER WHAT. WHEN THEY CALL FOR YOU AND YOU'RE NOT BUYING, DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THEM. YOU'LL JUST BE CURSED AT BEHIND YOUR BACK. LITERALLY. AND ALSO. DO NOT NEGOTIATE THE PRICES IF YOU'RE NOT BUYING ANYTHING FROM THEM. after that had a group dinner at some restaurant. the 3 of us was very cautious of what we were eating. cause it was a chinese restaurant. and even though it said halal, at the entrance of the restaurant, we were still cautious.
DAY 4
went to melaka. since there were no plans for the day. it was the first time i felt like i was spending money during my stay in malaysia. shopped till we dropped. we reached singapore at around 6pm. we went to buka at pizza hut at JP. hah.
there were stuff that i wanted that i didn't buy.
1) the ADIDAS bag i saw at berjaya times square. it was dark brown with gold trimmings and for RM40. and it was in a good size. something that i like to carry around.
2) a pair of LEVI'S corduroy pants for RM140. i think it's cheap. for LEVI'S especially.
3) SECRET RECIPE cakes. my aim to pig out on oreo cheesecake and tiramisu was not reached.
4) STARBUCKS coffee. i wanted so much to splurge on a cup of caramel frappucino. a cup of caramel frap would be RM10+ there.
5) McDONALDS milkshake. something singapore's McD doesn't have.
maybe for my next trip to KL, i would get the stuff. hee. this has been a LONG entry. and i think i shall stop here. thank you for taking your time to read this through.
kini menjelma diingatan
kite berdua bagaikan teman
namun tak ku berdaya
menjelaskan segala
perasaan ku menahan
