Well... had a slight quarrel with mum. My temper and hers always crushes... and got out of the house around 9.15am when I meeting pj,john,jy 10am at kranji...(just a less than 5min train from yew tee to kraji).. So went for a cup of tea at the neighborhood coffee shop... slack there around 9.40am then moved off... waited awhile and saw they all... and took a bus toward the custom.
checked in at the meldrum hotel(or rather say motel) which I always stayed when ton at jb with friends... this time round got quite a lousy room... light spoil. Air con not working at 1st... No phone... heng after complaining the person come do something with it...after putting our stuffs on the motel... went to city square ate rotti john as recommended by jy...indeed nice.. Had ate b4 when I last came jb ton too. Then searched for tickets to KL... and finally got the 3 tickets as jy is not joining us as had to report back to camp on sat...
Took a cab to holiday inn plaza... tried to bargain the fare but still had to pay 8rm...Recomend them do their hair at the saloon my secondary sch friends and I always did so when we came jb... one of the hair stylist still recognize me and say how come so long nv come liao.. Haha... at 1st only pj decided to highlight her hair... and jy steam hair... but ended up I also did the highlight and the don’t know what ice-ing... have to say... at 1st I still find the color ok... but after awhile kind of sick of it... jy finished his 1st and went for a walk with john.. After around 1hr... Mine also done... can joined them too... they decided to go for a leg massage...wanted to give it a try but changed my mind as I dun think I can bear the pain.. Went back find pj and wow... the color of her hair quite nice sia... regret nv did what she does to her hair... then we went find john and jy who are still massaging...and john’s expression really tell u it’s indeed painful..Hahaha... went for lunch at the so called food court there... had "zi ca" but don't taste as good as those in sg... but cheap... and soon after took another cab to don’t know where...and sang in the red box(it’s their kbox in Malaysia)..
But I can't really sing as I was still coughing and just recovered from sore throat... can't get the high pitch part... sian 1/2 totally... and due to haven sleep for the night... I am kind of tired... Sat at the corner of the room and soon dozed off... and woke up after a few songs and dozed off again...and this keep on and off for the whole ktv session... imagination how tired I was to actually fell asleep in the room while other pple were singing...haha.. But they did enjoy themselves which was good la...
Then took a cab back to where we stayed... (Actually was because the cab driver doesn’t get what we mean) and walked to the terminal where a food market located... but damn... it’s closed... And had to walk back all the way... and ended up having sea food at the restaurant next to our motel... the food not bad la... like the crispy butter prawns a lot... the deer meat ok... the steam egg also quite nice.. Veg with sliced fish... cost us only around 50rm... Damn worth it... went back to the motel and had a bath... but damn... the power switch keep jumped and the whole room keep black out... heng this nv happen when we are bathing... soon john fell asleep.. Left 3 of us... so I went bought a poker cards to entertain ourselves... but soon around 2am+ we also went to bed le as next morning also need to wake up quite early to catch the bus....

Woke up at 7.15am...dunno why I manage to wake up b4 the alarm rang… woke john and pj up as we need to be at the bus outlet at 8am sharp. Wash up and packed our stuffs... and farewell to jy as he will sleep for awhile more and check out for us. Reached the outlet at 8am sharp... the uncle at the shop stunted us by saying the van supposed to take us to the bus terminal for the bus broke down…-.- ended up ask us took a cab.. But the good part was that he paid for us… reached terminal around 8.15am... Went to the bread shop tabao some as breakfast… then told the bus driver to wait for awhile and rushed off with pj to Mac as she getting harsh brown for breakfast (isn’t it way too little for breakfast??). And at 8.30am, the trip to KL began...
Was chatting nonstop on the coach and realized its pj 1st trip oversea with friends. Cool... And john was busying writing down stuffs that occurred in his mind on his note pad… had a 1/2hr stop in the middle of the journey for toilet and foods.. And we reached KL around 1pm.
Booked the return tickets once we got off the coach. And then took a cab for 10rm to Bukit Bintan where the shopping malls, foods, bars, located. Had to say… Times really flies… quite a no. of stuffs changed since I last came to KL… And recommended them to stay at Agora Hotel as that’s where I stayed the last time I came to KL … And coincidently… This was also where Jy recommend us to stay too. At 1st we find the price of it kind of expensive… so tried to look for other but no rooms... So went back to Agora… luckily for us there is still 1 last room left… So took the room and unpacked our stuffs… and have to say...The room worth the price la.
Went Bukit Bintan Plaza Shop… Bought 2 lighters for Lou and mj as their birthday on Sunday and I suggested with the other of the group to get something for them from Malaysia... Got myself a wind proof lighter too… quite unique… then pj and john also got themselves some jeans… and went to the supermarket to get some mineral water, fruits and other stuffs so we can keep it in the fridge of the hotel..
After almost 3-4 hours of walking around Bukit Bintan plaza, we went back to our hotel and put our stuffs… And a short rest too of course…

At 7pm... We set off from the hotel to “Qi Siong Gai” also known as Chinatown which located at Petaling Street. Damn loaded with pple… but really changed a lot from last time... more well organized now and not so filled with those ah bengs… But what’s really amazed me was their English... as the last time I went... They could hardly speak any English and now… they can at least make up normal/proper sentences. Brought a scrambler wind proof lighter for myself which I quite like a lot... asked the price and the shop owner said 65rm...So walked off… and she asked me back and said 30rm... After a short bargain...Got it for 28rm. Hahaha… Then went ate grill fish, lala, sotong at a so call back alley ba…were told to wait till 9pm then food come when it was only 8.15.pm.. But we stayed there as the food really seems good… wrapped in aluminum foil when it served.. The food really delicious.. And quite spicy too.. And only cost us 25rm only… After eating continue walk around “Qi Siong Gai” and bought more souvenirs and finally went back to our hotel… But after putting our stuffs.. We went for durian and dian xin …hahaha eating the whole day.. Finally went back to the hotel to bath.. Stupid john and pj … fell asleep while I bathing… no choice also force myself to sleep….

Woke up at 7.20am again.. As I forgotten to off the daily alarm I set at jb… so guess everyone got wake up some how.. And brushed up. Then moved off to KLCC to queue up for tickets to the twin towers around 8.30am… and $#%^#$^.. We thought we already considered very early… but there actually whole lots of pple there already… nearly can’t make it in the queue… and from 8.45am… we queued till 10am then manage to get the 3.30pm visit tickets… but due to our attraction.. We 3 were allowed to go for the 10.45am . After briefing… we took a lift to the 41st floor of the building… and wow.. The view really nice.. And the building was 88 floors tall if I never remember wrongly.. Took quite lots of pics up there… finally got to see KL from the twin tower after 3times of visit to KL. After visiting the tower. Walked back to KLCC and shop around.. Taking pics… even posed around the golden village and take pics.. Pple 1 look at us sure know we are tourists I guess.. Hahaha…then pj and john shop around isetan while I followed since I got nothing to buy… these 2.. Really amazing how they can shop sia… won’t get tired 1.. Then after 2hrs of shopping.. Finally went for lunch at A&W. and slack around KLCC as it’s raining… then sat at the San Francisco café enjoy a cup of mushmellow mocha. Found a magazine telling pple where and where in KL pple can go.. And we took the magazine out of the café… I suggested walk out in the rain since we stayed too long in KLCC and the rain wasn’t that heavy.. But most important of all is very long never tried walking in the rain le… so the 3 of us just headed to the park beside KLCC.. And continue walk and walk…stopped once under the bridge took pics and once when the rain got heavier.. Then we manage to walk to this food court that ‘s all Malay’s food and sat down there for some satay as it’s quite famous from what we read from the magazine we got..
And if I am not wrong.. We found ourselves walked to a rail station – Ampang (if I am not wrong). And asked the pple around how to get back to bintan. And for the 1st the time in all our KL trips experience, we took train.. To the sun gawai(if I nv remembers wrongly) and took a 5min walk to mono rail and board again to a don’t know what station.. I forgot the name.. But nearby there got this hokkien mee damn nice… and we happened to meet a kind hearted lady who direct us to the place and tell us how to walk here and there..
After the delicious dinner we had.. we walked down to “Qi Siong Gai” as pj and john want to get some local foods to be brought back to sg. And john nearly got hit by a vehicle while taking a pic of incredibles poster in the middle of the road.. gave us a scare… and clumsy pj nearly fell down on a few occasions..
And we headed back to hotel again.. had a bath as sweating all over… and we went around bintan looking for a bar to relax.. but fail… can’t find any we like or expensive as we are running out of budgets… but what’s really caught my attention were the night life in Bukit Bintan now and 1 yr ago… 1+am and everyone still hanging around… pple helping other to draw in the streets.. playing hip hop.. not a single bit like midnight…

Finally we decided to stay in the hotel as nothing much for us to do… but manage to entertain ourselves but playing quite a no. of stupid games… really became crazy while playing the flying cards.. Gave john a few good scare to keep him awake for a few times.. but he will get back into the bed right after the excitement over… and kana kicked by pj while pillow fight… poor me… and of course.. took a lot of pics in the room too…lolx… and finally ..we slept around 5am…


12-12-2004

Woke up at 9.20am… when we were supposed to wake up at 8.45am. got a shock of my live as we need to reach the terminal by 10am… shake all of them up and rushed and pack our stuffs…and wow… we manage to check out at 10am and took a cab over…and after waiting for quite sometimes.. 11am we finally got on to the bus.. and every one of us seems very tired… especially john and then pj.. both keep dozed off during the return journey… reached Sg around 4pm… and separated our way home as pj’s father fetching her and john..

And that`s all for the 4D3nights… really a very enjoyable trip.. much better than I have expected…
