Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 28th Dec - 1st JanThe trip was fantabulous baby! had a great time in KL with Gary, Jas and Marl. Shopped alot but I guess we ate alot I'd say. It seemed that every hour we were munching something or just randomly looking for food places for snacks and bites :) Trained to KL Sentral that took us close to 8hours and the journey was like the worst thing ever, it was jerky and just hell. Reached in the morning then headed to Macs for breakfast before heading to our hotel. We stayed at Melia Kuala Lumpur, pretty nice hotel. We wanted to check-in but the staff told us the rooms werent ready so left our bags with the concierge then went to shop abit. Got back, to our dismay the rooms they gave us werent what we reserved for, but we took it for if not we had to wait another 2hours. So, showered and slacked til night before heading for dinner. In all we had stuff like Kenny Rogers, Macs, KFC, A&W, Donuts, Nandos, Char Kway Teow, Chicken Wings, Satay, Goreng Pisang & not forgetting our ultimate favourite Johnny's Restaurant and their famous "Thai Tea" :P inside joke! So bought stuff back for my family and even my little niece, got her a top. Most memorable parts of our trip was having Gary wake us up every morning with that annoying yet funny HELLO sound, me annoying Jas & Marl by watching news every time we were in the room, when we were in Johnny's Restaurant, not forgetting the part where I fell at Masjid India and ushering the new year with great friends :)
New Year's Eve, Marl & Jas fell ill so Gary and I shopped on our own and he bought us stuff, thanks yea :) bought back KFC then at night we were at Petronas for the countdown. It rained at like 15mins before new years! So everyone started pushing and all just to get to the shelter but thank God, it stopped 5mins before 1200! the fireworks were really beautiful, it went off for like 8mins in total. Cabbed back to the hotel, oh yea talking bout cab, we met this nice taxi driver who even gave us his number in case we needed a cab or just info bout KL we could give him a ring, and yea he was hitting on Marl (Call me la... - with an accent! =P) We took a coach back for 4hours and I loved the ride! It was like really comfortable and all, so take my advise never train down to KL! Snapped loads of pics, but here are just few random ones :)
So anyway, I've got an internship placement in Carlton Hotel though am not really looking forward to start work for the next 6months, am just hoping time flies again. Gna go down to school tomorrow to get results for the previous modules then I'm just gonna go all out to party this coming week before I officially start work.
Adios!
