Coming Home

YAWN...just got back from malaysia...sunway lagoon was fun...until i found out my swimming trunks had a hole in it...LOL! no thanks to one of the rides....man..hope i did not spoil the fun for my friends cos it must have been like 6 hours later before i knew about the hole...of course we had to leave cos it was really at an awkward spot...(what are you thinking now??)
we arrived at KL in the morning guess it was around 630am when the sun was already up...but it was cold there..kinda unusual..we had breakfast at Pudaraya bus terminal.some hot wanton mee with tea to perk ourselves up.though the unusual taste and looks of the char siew did leave us wondering where the meat came from...(hope its not human)
we were on foot most of the time and our next stop was Petronas Towers in KL.we waited for the 915am tour of the skybridge 41 stories above ground...man,couldnt they take us higher??no fun at all =( they said the upper levels are restricted...(haha must be afraid we are terrorists after so many bombings =p) anyway before i could enter, one sad bloke who was working at the security counter (he was no security guard believe me..no pistol,no baton.what? you gonna use Aikido or chop swee on me?) they just wouldnt allow my 2 swiss army knives to pass the counter after the metal scan...(ooo..nice try i had a third one in my pocket...and it passed the metal scan =p ) so much for security...its not as if im gonna poke someone to death ya...
for some of my friends their stuff got held at the counter too..hmmm...wonder why hoon leong brought a tripod stand with him?hahaha..my friend's swiss army got held back too.
oh well ..nothing much on the bridge,we snapped afew photos and the tour lasted 10min..sooo stingy and they made us watch a stupid replay on how the towers were constructed and how they held the record of being the tallest till 2003...(err...how about 2004?)
after that we stopped by at Suria KLCC to do some look see look see at their shopping mall..boy i wished singapore had malls like that..it was HUGE...in singapore you just need one day and you can visit at least 3-4 malls..(depending how fast you are) but one mall in KL can take you almost half a day...(no kidding...) didnt realise my guy friends were such shopaholics..they entered every sport shop and accessory shop to see if they could get their hands on anything cheap..(sheesh...) of course i got some stuff too...but then later k.c suggested to them that we come back on the last day of our stay to get what we want cos we still wanted to visit other places..(good idea..sooo can we go now??)
anyway,next stop was KL tower..we didnt enter the tower.got lost halfway sooo we made our way to the tourist centre to get our bearing and find info how to get to the flea market(ooo..shopping!not again...) and how to get to furama hotel (you got to be kidding...) , and how to get to sunway lagoon.. (fun,fun,fun) and where to eat yummy food (boy,i was starving..)
we made our way to the hotel and had some rest..(boy..dunno how many clicks we covered just to get there...) we had a shower and it was time for dinner...(so fast???yup...hello..we were on foot all the way...and it was pouring on our way to the hotel)
any way we had dinner outside..forgot where actually...=p then we went to hard rock cafe to look see look see..we all bought a t-shirt from there and then we went to zouk to take a look..haha
we were supposed to go in but the queue was soooo long we gave up the idea and went to ktv instead..hmm..oh yes..we went to the flea market and boy was it jammed and crowded...cos its a saturday and the first saturdays of the month are public holidays for malaysians...(idiot...) that aside we had supper and went back to the hotel..sleep the end.
Sunday morning..SUNWAY LAGOON...we thought of walking there but we gave up the idea which was a good thing..cos just taking the cab alone we realised how far we were from our hotel to sunway lagoon...dunno how many highways we passed by before getting there... =p it cost us 39rm to get in there for all rides..the usual stuff there...vikings,roller coaster,if ya been to wild2 wet..guess its the same thing really...we were abit disappointed.and the water was damn dirty...yucks man...can see the algae and you cant see what was in front of you if you dived underwater...oh well gotta admit the rides were fun and it was hot at that time of the day.now im more chau dar at the moment...we were relaxing at the water fountain when my friend suddenly came close to me and said "RB, under these wet,noisy,hot and extremely enjoyable circumstances, i just want to tell you that...your trunks got lobang..." (AYE! thanks lor...)
must have been one of the rides...did remember hitting my ass on the slides of one of the rides though... (OUCH..damn friction of a wear and tear) haha...anyway we all hit the showers shortly after that and i had to CAREFULLY walk back to the locker to get my stuff...(what the heck..ima guy...who bothers to look man?)
we played with the roller coaster after our shower..continuosly for 5 rounds...(no kick sia..)
then we toured the whole theme park and got ourselves ice cream..when we got sian we left and made our way to the shopping mall beside sunway lagoon...man it was cool of them having an indoor ice skating rink there and their mall was huge as usual...(how come singapore dun have one???) any way we went for buffet high tea at the Atrium lounge..just eat and eat and eat..
went window shopping exploring the whole mall...we left at around 6plus and took a cab back and i tell you the traffic was terrible...jam jam jam jam jam..after one turn, jam.after short cut, jam. i think got short cut, jam.just follow the road, jam. taxi cut queue, jam.people wanna cut into your lane=no diff=jam..
we finally got back to the hotel...(phew!) had another shower and lied on the bed...no i couldnt sleep cos they wanted to go foot reflexology...gee...they were screaming in pain...wonder why?i didnt feel anything except when the sensei did my right foot and he hit the spot of my sprain..(YEOUCH!!!)...anthony,k.c and i went for supper after that..wei guang and hoon leong wanted to go for a full body massage...whatever that meant...lights out..
monday morning. we got up at 9am and went out for breakfast.bak kut teh yee mee...yum2..we went to the flea market where i got my stuff and headed back to the hotel to pack up.headed down to the bus terminal to get our tickets back to singapore and petronas towers for the big boys to do their shopping..apparently i realised that i was the youngest there...we missed our 530pm ride cos of the heavy rain...so we had to wait for the 630pm ride.
oh well...the rest was just sleeping on the coach...nothing much happened.reached home at 2plus in the morning...boy..it was fun...haha...now to prepare for the rest of the week...dont like sitting around doing nothing..
