First holiday for the (financial) year
Had been blogging from iPhone these days but this is nice.. sitting in front of a proper and efficient pc blogging..
Good morning peeps.. not knowing what the new year holds so we planned small trips this year! First trip for the (financial) year - To KL with Tian and Ming..
Day 1
Coach ride day ~ Nice waiting lounge ~Entered Jam Zone after passing SG Customs check-point.. 2 hours jam, golly! ~ Started snacking and chatting while waiting to reach the end of the Jam Zone ~ Before reaching the end of the Jam Zone, the AC broke down ~ Stuffiness sets in and we were gasping for air (Nay, just kidding) ~ Everyone started perspiring ~ After crossing Malaysian Customs, the driver said we need to head to the nearest petrol kiosk to have the AC repaired and some belts changed and so everyone relunctantly boarded the bus ~ Reached the kiosk and all alighted to buy snacks and hang around the kiosk as we wait ~ Suddenly, the shattering sound of glass followed by scream and cries from a little boy and peeps ~ A lady came forward to carry the boy and I saw another lady running away from the crime scene ~It happened all too fast and god knows how it happened ~ Didn't see what happened but boy was bleeding and the shattered glass came from the glass door to the minimart.. sigh..
Waited for the coach to be repaired to bring us to our destination, journey was delayed by 4 hours or so..
Checked into Sheraton Hotel KL and went out for dinner at Berjaya Times Square and then a little walkabout in the mall before heading back to the hotel to rest and did a little bit of planning for the next few days..
Day 2
Wakey-wakey~bfast at Old Town White Coffee near Lot 10 Shopping Centre~Shopping~you name the malls and I can tell you that I've been there.. Searched for this famous Bak Kut Teh and found it! But there was no more you tiao to go with it.. :(.. But it was delicious, a bit on the saltish side though.. The day ended with that..
Day 3
Wakey-wakey~Travelled to this new mall to shop around~Found Papa Roti, yummy! You can only find this in IMM @ Singapore so everytime when I go to IMM I must have it!~Shopping~Had our lunch @ Madam Kwan~Shopping~Found our way to Chinatown to shop and have dinner~Chinatown is like a pasar-malam just like the Ladies Street in HK~Back to hotel for the day! The day I bought my first few simple black dresses, a belt and make-up kit (so that I can replace and throw out my 10 year-old make-up foundation, blusher, lipstick etc..).. to last me another 10 years?! haha..
Day 4
Wakey-wakey~checked out places near our hotel and had our nasi-lemak cum curry puffs breakfast at a simple cafe within this shopping mall, called SOGO~Shopping~Checked out~Sumptuous lunch at Tian Wai Tian Restaurant, it was delicious!!! This marked the end of our holiday though the return journey was delayed too! Well...
KL was one of the countries I stayed for a few years while I was a child, thanks to Papa Chua... But as I was too young, the memories that I had of KL were abit fuzzy but sweet! I remember the apartment that I stayed with my parents and siblings, I remember my BMX bicycle, I remember not able to go cycling with my siblings together after dinner as I eat too slow, I remember my dad's red car, I remember being doted by some uncles/aunties of my dad, I remember an unfortunate incident and THE END of the red car, I remember my late beloved grandma and aunties who came over to KL and we went to Cameron Highlands/Genting together... all these memories are to do with family, relatives and friends but nothing much about KL?..
So this time that I went to KL, I planned on seeing for myself what is there in KL and indeed I have..
