There they go..
Wow, what a whirlwind of fun! Having long time friends around after a period of separation really does wonders. I mean, since when do you see me going on so long on so little sleep? It's personally impossible, at least when I'm on my own. Haha..
The train for Singapore left about an hour ago, bringing along with it my friends and leaving behind some respite (which is sorely underused seeing that I'm online-ing now..lol) and another vacuum..I guess I have to get used to more of such separation in the future. =(
Haha..I remember the day they came over. It was so easy to recognise each other even after so long. To me, it's just 2 familiar faces in a throng of strangers. To them, a yellow and white VJC PE tshirt. Haha..Hey, it's a good landmark ok? Actually I wasn't really planning on wearing that specifically. Just a coincidence I guess. Or my subconsciousness acting. Haha..
Berjaya Times Square was the first stop, unless you include my house. Haha..I seem to be in a good mood, hmm..Haha..Too bad they didn't get enought sleep on the train. Don't know why they chose the seats. Really uncomfortable having full blast lights on throughout the night and you're trying to sleep.=( At least they had some shut-eye at my place before leaving for breakfast and KL. =) Not to mention Jason slept the whole way to KL Sentral. Haha..that will be a recurring scene throughout the trip..not to mention Yixiang will be bringing it up a few times..lol
Jason bought a pendent for his sis' upcoming birthday there. Real good fellow. Gets her jewellery every year without fail. Too bad the saleswoman was real AP. I understand you want to make a sale, but that's really uncalled for. Don't label all Singapore jewellery stores as if they were peddling cheap knockoff synthetic studs as the real thing. Too bad your sis got conned, but please don't make it seem as if everybody's a liar. You would have made the sale without such comments anyway. Actually Yixiang would have bought something else too if not for your attitude. Oh well~
For all it's floors Berjaya isn't really an excellent shopping paradise. Too many floors I guess. After the 5th or 6th floor it was mostly empty lots and EXTREMELY huge numbers of salons. I wonder why? ..
Nevertheless we had some fun there. Went to this shop called 天山(tian shan). Didn't realise it was Chinese MUSLIM food. Haha. It really looked like some posh chinese restaurant. Oh well, the food was actually very chinese. Except for the lack of pork and non-halal ingredients. Heh heh. But it was quite good actually, especially the choice of seasoning. (That's what the 2 pros said..and they ordered the food too, which made life so much easier for me..haha)
Get a load of this!
Here's the soup Jason ordered. Had some veggies, tofu and whatnot inside. Please don't ask me the name. I thought that was clear. Lol
That's the fish we ate. Not bad really. Smooth and soft. Just the way I like it=)
o.0 Beans! Biological value of 100!
Anybody interested? ;)
This was some other animal meat that we ordered. Sorry ah, my memory not good anymore. I forget what it was. Haha-_-"
After lunch (it was around 3pm) we went on a trip to Silk Road. Yup, the famous now-defunk-China-trade-route! Look at us there!
Ok, that was uncalled for. Haha..
After lunch, we went to KL tower. You know, scenery and all..Too bad we walked there. We had this crazy idea to save a little and enjoy the actual KL environment. Haha..Good thing it wasn't too far. I mean, what's 2.5 monorail stops to 3 guys who got at least a silver for NAPFA? Haha..
Oh, I saw Sortoise's apartment! The Jelatik 1...Or at least I think it's that..The location and close proximity to PUTRA line station kinda told me that. Or I misinteprated the hint. Haha..So if it's wrong drop me a note and the correct picture and I'll change that..lol
We actually managed to have a quickie at Midvalley Megamall after that! Bought some Cinnamon rolls back. Yixiang liked it=) Good taste..guess Fujian people have good taste! Wahaha..
Packed like sardines on the way back. Good thing lotsa people left at South Lake City. Btw, heard some engineers commenting on the YTL group planning to build a Maglev all the way to Singapore. Kudos to that! I hope it goes through. Then, I'll be able to go down south in like 1.5 hours! Whoohoo! Goodbye KTM=) Hope the price won't burn a hole though..
Saturday saw us at Sunway Lagoon. Had Nando's before playing. Thank God didn't kena apendicitis. Haha..We were literally flying during the tobaggan ride. Haha..some mad idea to try to apply physics to the ride to increase our range and finally reach the end of the runway. Lol..too bad none of us did..even thought we tried all sorts of funny poses, starting pushes, lifting up the tobaggan mats or whatever. Haha. Guess Jason was right. Heavier people tend to reach further. And Yixiang and me kept achieving the longest distance. Haha..says tons about our tons..hehe
Wanted to learn some tricks of iceskating from Jason after dinner. Too bad there were too many people and he didn't feel like skating after seeing the commotion there. Haha..Good thing too, don't want to hurt my bum too much. =) I think even a Ninjitsu backfall would be useless..my fingers would be sliced off clean by the person right behind me..scary~ I love my body!
Sunday was a free and easy day. Let them sleep while I was in church. Jason needed it after the Germany-Portugal match, and Yixiang's parents expressedly forbid him to ever get involved with Christianity. Oh well~
Brought them to find Larry. His house looks so..ordinary. Haha..was expecting more clutter from what he usually described..especially the part bout birds and some Yap camping=)
Drove them to Jusco (measly compared to KL, but then, it's enough for us). As usual seriously hard to find parking. Played a round of pool. Lost to Jason-Larry team by 1 ball. Oh well..beat them at Tenchu vs mode later on at home though..haha..
Dinner was at Hee Lai Ton. Glad they enjoyed it as much as me. Seems that the cooking is well matched to Fujian cooking, which has a less full-bodied taste than Hebei cooking.
Left for Genting early Monday morning. Not much to say there. Heavy fog. Good thing we got to finish the Outdoor Theme Park (half of it was under renovation anyway..boo) before it rained! Haha..lucky~
Something happened to the Corkscrew rollercoaster ride just before we rode it. After careful consideration and some maternal and nocturnal advice, I decided to maek the wise choice..sacrifice an adrenaline ride to ensure I keep my promise of meeting up with them. Haha..serious hypogonadism~ That didn't stop the 2 PRCs from having fun though. Haha..
Tried go-karting the first time in my life..kinda sad..but it was good..managed to sneak in an extra round since yixiang and I were quite fast..haha..but it was not too fast considering the speed of Genting go-karts..none of that Genting drift mind you!
Food at Genting is seriously EXPENSIVE! Not to mention small portioned..
Watched the Mysteria show at 9pm. I totally agree with Jane. Instead of a magic show, it should be rebranded as an ACROBATIC show. Really! The acrobat kids were terrific, especially when 9 of them were balanced on an arc of chairs. Pro! Bravo!
Too bad I couldn't smuggle myself into the casino. I didn't have a collared tshirt. Oh well, went in before so there's really no novelty left there. Jason was also kicked out for looking too young. (He's 1 month too young btw) Yixiang was the only 1 allowed in. Rightly so too. He is old! Haha..But casinos are seriously bad! Could smell the cig smoke way before I could see the casino entrance.. haha..it's a breeding ground for lung cancer!
Nevertheless Yixiang is really young at heart! He actually forced us to go on the carousel with him-_-"
The rest of today was just mainly recovering and basically a whirlwind of food tasting. Haha..Nasi lemak, home cooked food (none of mine I'm afraid..so far only spaghetti is the only palatable thing-_-"), fish head noodles, yao zhar kway etc.
Well, hopefully they arrive safe and sound in Singapore in..5 hours time! Ok, enough is enough..my emptiness is temporarily filled, the anguish languishing in the vacuum evacuated and replaced by pure lethargy.
All the best in NUS in days ahead my friends! Hope to meet y'all soon!
