finally! the long awaited KL trip post! haha.

by now u guys must be used to me not updating so regularly right. i blame it on fyp. ahahahahahaha. because my timetable is so slack tt i cant blame it on school lah.


ANW, the trip was just wat i wanted it to be lah! i SHOPPED til i had flat feet, ATE til i was permanently boncet and i spent lotsa time with MOKeY and Fhary! YEYNESS!

this trip was different for me coz i wasnt with my parents and i stayed at bukit bintang instead of KLCC area, so i felt i was immersed in the KL-ness of things la. another reali reali striking difference this time was the sheer number of arabs who were there! i mean like seriously, everywhere u turned u'll see arabs! it was like the first time i went to malaysia and saw soooooo many pretty ladies la. OMG...... these middle eastern ppl have have really DROP-DEAD GORGEOUS eyes!! and they know how to play it up so effectively i tell ya. omgosh..... its like u turn everywhere and beautiful eyes were looking back at u from every direction. actuali we came to learn that it was sorta summer vacation period for arabs and it's damn hot there, so they come to msia for a bit of R&R. i tink they damn rich la. most of the women wear the black robe, but the handbags they carry are like PRADA la, LV lah, MIU MIU la, and their shades were CHANEL la, VERSACE la, wat la. KAO. liddat one u know. but their eyes and their complexion are reali reali nice la. tho its funny that i din see any cute arab guys. it was onli the ladies who really like whoa nelly! gorgeous la.


anyhoo, the trip there took about 4.5 hours in total, including a half hour rest stop at machap. we took the VIP transnational coach for RM23.90 and it was reali comfortable leh. the hotel was Agora, which is smack in the middle of Bukit Bintang which is the orchard road of KL la. its not fantastic, but for about $50 per person for 2 nights, it was quite alright la. ou ya, i shud warn u tt its next to a club, so at night it went BOOm BOOM BOOM BOOM. haha. but i slept thru it. we all did. haha.


and if there was one thing that i reali reali loved about KL, its the freedom of choice when it came to food!! knowing how sucky the halal food choice here is, it was really a welcomed change to be somewhere where u can eat like at most restaurants.so, needless to say, we really binged la. the highlight for me was the sushi bar, where i got to eat my UNAGI and much awaited SOFT SHELL CRAB!!!!!! we also ate some very nice hainanese chicken rice at this new restaurant opposite Bukit Bintang Plaza. the roasted chicken is to die for, the skin is crispy, almost peking duck-esque. the cuttlefish is nice too! we also went to kenny rogers and hard rock cafe. the burger was oh-my-god yummeh and the mac and cheese was mmm mmm good lah! along the way we snacked alot too.. oh gosh, and how can i forget stealing a dunkin donut from mokey's box on the coach ride back. a dozen for 18RM and there is NO NEED TO QUEUE WATSOEVER. sighh. y is the world so unfair when it comes to doughnuts.....


we did our fair share of touristy things too!!!!! seriously, how many of u have been up the Petronas sky bridge before? the queue for THAT was damn massive la. we got to KLCC at like 8.15 am and we only got the tix for the 5.15pm entry la!! and imagine, mokey had to stand in line for one and a half hours without breakfast!! im proud of u mokey! we also went up the EYE ON MSIA thingie! tt was a like horrible experience for me coz i dun like to be suspended in air by a mechanical thing that may malfunction at any time. its like i watch too many episodes of "Seconds from Disaster" ya know and these things are like always at the back of my mind!! ou yeah, we went to Petaling Street and Masjid India too! and these places brings me to my last and favourite point,


SHOPPING!!!!!!


oh my god! i went nuts shopping there la. some of the stuff were like soooo cheap. i had soo many best buys but my bestest buy was definitely the bra la! went to their MEtro at berjaya times and bought 3 Pierre Cardin bras which were on sale for only RM58 laaaaaaa. thats like less than RM20 for each which is less than $10 for each bra. and its PIERRE CARDIN u know, seamless some more. here, with $10 u can only get like those pasar bras. waaa. if i went by myself i wudve bought more la, but since i went with kak fhar, i refrained coz i din wan her to tink tt i was a lunatic. also bought 4 really nice Cotton Planet boy shorts with cute prints at the back for only RM15!!! at La Senza, the cheapest is 6 for $45!! besides innerwear, i also bought outer wear laaa.. got a wrap top for RM10 and embroided fabric (kain bersulam) for kebaya at only RM5o at Masjid India!!! damn cheap la! also bought a reaaali nice quited bag at PS for 40 RM. actuali can bargain cheaper la but i was sooo tired at tt time.. oh ya, and how can i forget shoes! and being in KL, how can i forget VNC, or VINCCI! bought a nice pair of blue-green flats at RM39.90 which were not fantastically cheap but cheap enuf lah! haha. got other things like a telekung, some kaftans for my mumsy, random stuff or my dad and oh ya, M.A.C liquid eyeliner for RM10. okay, i dunno if its those going to expire type or pirated type or the casing and box is original but the contents is not. but it doesnt matter lah, just want to try try test test. haha!


overall, it was reali nice to have a getaway like dat. kl is nice minus the pickpockets, traffic jams and air pollution. i even think the sales ppl are nicer there. yeap, i said it. we realli need to buck up in that area man...


hokaylah, some pictures to accompany this post which had probably broken the record for most number of exclamation marks in a post! njoy skool ppl!






THE ROAD TRIP








having breakfast at larkin







coach ride. travelling time was about 3.5 hours with a half hour rest stop at machap.










first shot in kl. taken by moi! featuring a dark handsome shadow in the foreground and the former pudu jail in the background. this was at plaza rakyat mrt anyway. the nearest lrt station to the bus station.





this is the bus ticket for the internal service in kl. u buy it from the driver when u're boarding it for the first time in the morning for RM2. then, subsequently, for the rest of the day u can just show the ticket and get on n off the bus. btw, the official malaysian tourism board hop-on hop-off bus ride costs RM38. so unless ur vacation is 19 days long, u might as well take the RM2 public transport. the buses are very new so they're damn clean and damn nice ah. ou. fully a/c-ed too.




This sign says it all : (Direct translation) Daily pass may be used all day. pls keep the pass to be checked.

yup! taking into account the cheapness of it, we decided to make this our main means of transport.

SKY BRIDGE TOUR



watching a 3D Petronas-is-Msia's-oil-company-and-we-are-rich film. love the glasses, tho. i thought 3D glasses were those blue and red cellophane paper ones..





Going up. the lift buttons. 86 freakin storeys. sky bridge is on the 41st floor. TRY SPOTTING THAT. the guide told us that the (Petronas) president's office was on the 81st. dont ask me why she told us tt. haha. i was SO tempted to say the word "terrorise" but i bit my tongue.





Fhary shows us the view 41 storeys above ground level.




That, my friends, is a KL traffic jam. yea, those arent parked vehicles. lotsa honking, yelling and some middle fingers flying around down there.
