KL Trip with the guys of 03s25 part 1

the plan was initiated a few mths back, by who i can't remember... leong asked mi whether i could join for some oversea trip... yea... it started out to by thailand bangkok, but KL was also in consideration... after much tinkering and discussion(or verbal fights, lolz) we set our sights on KL... tat's not to forget that there were some pull outs and hop ins in the last min... and on the sunday, 1st july, we all gathered at boon lay market to start our trip...

1st day
on the roads... - we met up at boon lay... i was late... haha... but not to the extend of missing the bus... still met up the guys at the grassland office... write up on the malaysia white card and moved off to the bus... waited a while for all to board and its my way or the highway...



well the guys were pretty much excited by the trip.... thru out the journey there were lots of joking and laughing going... but there was also moments of silent as it was a long trip... 6 hours ride on the bus... that is freaking long journey... well... at least to mi as it was the furthest trip i ever went outside of malaysia(damn... still didn't managed to catch a flight on plane... haiz... next time ba...) as the seats were divided between 2 pairs and 3 singles, communication among everyone was not at its fullest... the 4 sitting back to back were having the most fun...



btw, here's some of the notes i written on the bus...



-i noticed that the bus driver has a habit of waving to other buses on the opposite road. is it pure courtesy? friendliness? or scaring that he may get himself into some trouble? hmmm... haha



- the bus driver is a speed demon... although i didn't see the actual speed its driving on... but i see the meter going past th 90km/h mark... well... the road spd limit was at 110km/h... so i guess he does no wrong abt it ba... still... there are abt 10 ppls' life at stake... and he's honking, cursing at other drivers slower than him...



upon arriving in KL... we are greeted by the thing we usually see in the morning of singapore... TRAFFIC JAMS... yea... there's no escape... its a sunday afternoon by the time we reach KL, but the traffic was still so packed... can't believe it... it took almost another half an hour for us to reach our hotel from the start of the jam...



after reaching our hotel, we were told that only one of the three rooms are available to be occupied at that time... so we went up and put our stuffs and moved off to KLCC to have our lunch... we started at 9am and the 6hrs of bus ride pushed our lunch to 3pm... hungry man is an angry man... and lets add in a 'anything' man to it... as we took cab from outside the hotel, its ancasa hotel KL btw, to KL convention centre...



- the taxi driver here usually park outside the hotel, trying to capitalize on tourists not knowing the market rates of cab ride there...



and we fell victim to it... upon getting in... we saw the cab fare metre to be at RM 33... crazy... but we managed to settle at RM 20 instead... but...! later on when we went back from KLCC to our hotel... the rates are greatly different...



and so we arrived at KLCC... 1st thing to do was to look at the shopping mall directory for food outlets... and we went to the top level and picked Madam Kwan... made our orders... food was prepared quite fast and we tucked it soon after... i sort of had a combo meal, same with leong, which consists of chicken drumstick, beef slices and prawns... taste great...

*juz received complaints from the guys that the pics were to explicit and its hurts their feelings... so its got to be taken down... so 3 cheers...!

back to KLCC... after lunch... there was lots of shopping and walking... the whole place was sooooo big... comparable to vivo city... but vivo city consists of only 4 levels... KLCC has more than 6 levels of shopping outlets waiting for us... pak got the 1st blood... then the others follow suit by getting their 1st kill... zh was busy looking for black clothes while i managed to get a black shirt where i soon found i was cheated by the cheaper price at the shop in IMM juz now... sian½... after a few hours of shopping frenzy... we decided to leave the place for other activities... soon we found ourselves in the Lift of the petronas tower... not up to the top of the tower, but down to the carparks... sian½ again... the place was closed as it was only opened till 9pm and we have to obtain tickets to enter the top...

but we still managed to have some fun at the fountain infront of the tower and ate some dunking donuts...

soon after... we were stuck with either going to ZOUK or back to hotel and have some other activities... well, being singaporean makes us clueless where zouk could be.... so we went back instead... then we found out that we got cheated by the taxi driver on our way to KLCC... coz my side tat took the cab only cost RM6, while the other guys found themselves paying RM 10.... after getting back to the hotel, picking up the other keys to the 2 rooms and unloading our goods... we head to chinatown for a walk and supper...
