Back!

Haven been updating my blog for the longest time. Anyway for the past days that i haven been posting i watched Harold and Kumar, found out my carrot head got chop again, completed my last day of work and the highlight i went to KL and Genting for 3 days!

Went there with my ex-classmates Henry and Darien by train. The train ride there was terrible because it was long, frustrating and tiring. Half the time the train was travelling less than 50km/h and Darien had to object getting the higher class tickets where we will each have a bed to sleep on. In the end we ended up in economy class and although the seats are like any other coaches, the journey was 3 times as long! By the time we FINALLY reached KL, it was around 8+am and when we saw Macdonalds at the station, we rushed in and had our fill.

We then took a cab to our hotel. It was a budget hotel, only 88RM a night...very affordable for the 3 of us who are all feeling poor. After slacking for awhile and walking around, we then went to genting in the afternoon. The cable car ride up the highlands was breathtaking. We were above the clouds half the time and the weather there was good. We had fun at their themepark but not their casino. We managed to sneak in although 2 of them were underage using the excuse of "never bring passport". They checked mine and ok we're in. Turned out to be not a good thing. We each came out 50RM to play (min stake per game is 25RM by the way). We decided to play blackjack but weren't too sure of the rules. We embarrassed ourselves many times. There was once this guy had 2 ACES and he split, thinking we could place bet on him too we put our chip on the table and got the "OEII" from him. We also got some nagging from people because we played alternate games thus spoiling their luck? Whatever the case, as expected we lost everything within half an hour and duly walked out disappointed. Had dinner at Kenny Rogers back at KL, which was reasonably cheap and went back to our hotel after that.

Day 2 was an all KL day. We went to Times Square and there's a nice themepark in there. The roller coaster in there looks so damn tempting but apparently i was the only one of the three tempted so we didn't go in the end. Shopping there was boring as there's nothing much to buy. After that we took the Monorail and then LRT to central market and chinatown where they bought most of the stuff. I came back empty handed because i was on a very tight budget haha. In a pet shop at KL, we saw a very cute dog. His name is Fook Fook and he cost 3500RM...i wished i had the money to buy him haha. He looks like a small fat teddy bear on 4 legs haha, we took a photo of him..will post it up when Henry send it to me.

Day 3 was reserved for Sunway Lagoon. Sunway Lagoon is a nice place and it is reasonably big. But they didn't have many rides and within 2 hours we got bored. We took certain rides all over again and had a swim till 5.30pm. We then went to the Sunway shopping centre for our last shopping trip before going home. Sunway shopping centre is really big too and there are many more things to buy there than City Square. Train ride home was really comfortable because we got ourselves a bed. I slept throughout and here i am energetic and ready to go out again!
