More intermission

For those of you who aren't aware..... my 3 months holiday is now a past..... without knowing it, I'm sitting back in my room in Miri once again. And then.... I somehow lost the mood to update about KL, wahahahaha. So I'll just talk junk this time.

Recently, I've come to find that a lot of things has gotten boring for me. Maybe I'm matured, maybe I'm no longer the kid I used to be, but whatever it is.... it still boils down feeling bored. Being in Miri, isn't any help at all, here we don't have a TV, we don't have video games, only your room and your laptop..... and whatever other belongings you have. How saddening....

The piano that I always wanted to be good at, seemed further and further from reach due to the fact that I don't have a piano here...... so gone are the hours that I can enjoy practicing it.

I'm getting lazier and lazier to cook.... coz there aren't many people to cook for. The girls are on diet, the guys are on catering.... and the couples have their own private dinner.

Time seems infinite around here..... but even then, it's flowing...... right below our very noses. We just seem to forget about it.... wanting it to be faster, so that we can reach into the future faster...

However.... I just wish that I had the time and place to sit back..... relax, and enjoy the view......

Peace out.

Intermission Break

*Quite a long post ahead* or is it the pictures that make it seem long......

While I was planning to finish my updates about KL as fast as possible, the last 2 weeks of my stay in KK had other plans for me instead..... to keep me away from my blog.

So..... I've been busy with quite some stuff the last week........... namely.... visiting Tshung Tsin during it's Sports Meet.... gone to a House Warming Party.... planned and went to Pulau Manukan... and watched 3 movies at the cinemas.

It's such a nostalgic scene going back to school and see that though some things have changed... it reminds you of what it was like years before.......

The sports meet this year...... of course, was just like it was years before.... Besides the fact that it only consists of 5 houses (compared to the previous 7)...

And Nature didn't seem to have mercy on this year's students

Digiman Mr.Yee looks like he was fully equipped for the weather.



Oh... God spare the maids and kakak's of these children....

Who's next to jump?



Mr Lai was still in Business



And the school still duped our money by inviting this uneccessary animal

Nevertheless....... going back to TTSS always reminds you of the 6 years you spent there....... seeing

This!! reminds me of how irritating the 'after-recess' bell sounded till we were forced to 'silence' it..... (let's have a closer look)

See that white disgusting thingy?..... that's chewing gum.... Though it's pretty much hardened by now.... but the bell definitely isn't as loud and annoying as it once was

This.... reminds you about the 'Leong fun susu' that cost us only RM1. (It's 1.50 now... and taste a lot worse....)

This.... reminds you of the days and nights we spent 2 years ago doing the same things........

And THIS! Reminds us of our glorious moments back then........







Moving on..... the next day's night..... we had good food and fun at Pheobe's House Warming!! Thanks Pheobe.

Then came our pulau trip again.... organized by those who didn't make it last time, haha.

There weren't many people... only 7, but we had fun ^^

We tried the banana boat......

Everybody was so happy!

While Shaun was over-excited about it and.............. .................

You get quite a scene, hahaha.....

Then we tried the Jetski..... which was NOT how easy I expected it to be...... it's like riding a bike... but on water......

The instructor was supposed to sit behind..... and what happens when he sits in front is.......

BUSSH!!!!!

Later when we were back on the beach......

Shaun tries his luck


As the next James Bond.........

Feeding the fish can be fun........ when you try to do it in 'exotic' ways..... like

Hahaha.......



Well, that's all for now....... I thought I wanted to review about the 3 movies I watched, but..... I thought I didn't want to overdo my blog post. Btw, the 3 movies were "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", "Pink Panther 2", and "Valkyrie"..... all which were pretty good movies I would say.

So long.

KL, KL.... Part II

Upon arriving in KL.... the only thing I saw was busy-ness. KL seemed to me everything but slow.

KLIA. Sorry for the 'lop-sided' photo, I was in a hurry, haha.

Thanks to my mom's training session which she was already running late to attend, we didn't have much time to look around in KLIA. Instead, right after the 2 1/2 hour flight over the South China Sea, all I found myself doing was walking 3-meter per second footsteps towards the baggage re-claim department.

Even with such speed, the enormous space in KLIA made us take more than 10 minutes to find it.....

Then we had to board the RM35 KLIA Express, which was a train that brought you all the way to town, KL Sentral in about 35 minutes. Well, I guess it beats getting on a taxi that'll charge you a bomb just to get out of the airport.

Then as if to confirm my initial thoughts....... was KL Sentral. With people bustling about with either no sense of direction, with faces that scowled at their very own watches.... Imagine a mini airport, and a stock market, TA-DA! You get KL Sentral!

KL Sentral. Didn't have time to take a better image because of the hurry..... and the crowd.

I was just wondering how much more busy things could get, and then I saw it. LRTs.

Yes.... the machines that open their mechanical doors for only 10 seconds, and only sounds twice before slamming them shut and not giving a damn if it chopped off one of your hands.... Fast and efficient they are.... but I guess not something I'd like to get on when there's thousands of people crowding to get on the same thing......

Taken during one of the times with less people....
I wouldn't even have space to take out my camera if it was crowded.

Finally....... after coming down the plane, boarding two trains which stopped at over 15 stations, and a short RM3.50 taxi ride, I arrived at my destination for the day. My friend Sam's apartment.


Surprisingly.... I was expecting the word "Apartment" to be more...... non-condominium like..... But it turns out that the condominiums were doing far better and the "Apartment" turned out to be some 22 storey building which looked something like this

in the morning.

I bet you can't find apartments like this in 'Kampung Kinabalu'

However, the good thing about being on a 22 storey building is..... you get to see views like this too

Morning

Evening (7:30pm or so....)


Night

**********************************

Waking up the next day, me, Sam and Futt were headed off to Sunway, to do some shopping ^^

And JUST as I was about to think KL was quite far better off with their transport facilities and network system.... I ended up sitting on a bus that will sacrifice the time of it's passengers for it's own profit.

The "patient" ticket attendant waiting for more passengers to board.....

While waiting, I noticed the secret to our everyday favourite "Ba Kua" BBQed pork!

The sand from the road, the smoke from the cars, the dust from the fan, and all the natural 'ajinomoto' adds up....... to the tasty piece of meat that we can't hold ourselves back from.

Looks like the food in KL isn't any less poluted than the well knowned Satay stalls in our KK, haha.


After a 1 and a half hour of sitting in 2 buses....... we arrived, at Sunway Pyramid.

I can't deny that so far, the designs and architectures of all their shopping malls seem to be very interesting.

You have to give credit to their decorations too...... they really took an effort just to make the place nice for Chinese New Year..... unlike some places........

The ever so popular Ice skating ring........ (though I don't see the point of going around in circles of 200 meter squared of space).

Moss, Sam, with Futt M.I.A (Due to him not bringing a cellphone along)

After shopping for nearly 4 hours..... I gave up......

KL shopping complexes are SooOOOOOoo big (relative to KK ones) that you really learn what it is to "Shop till you Drop"! Just take ANY of the major shopping complexes in KL, and OneBorneo can go into the bottom of your "To Go To Shopping Complex" list. Despite all the hype about OneBorneo being so and so........ if you've been to KL, it's nothing compared to any of KL's.

Another good thing about the shopping malls are that they never seem to run out of variety and interesting stuff.

I don't know who came up with this idea, and I have no idea how they did it,

but it certainly looks interesting

***End of Part II***

KL, KL.... Part I

**This trip update shall be divided into i-don't-know-how-many parts, because I decided to make it into mane small parts instead of one LOOOOOONG post, slowly feed you guys, wahahaha. So..... just read and wait, XP**


The last time I had a chance to come to the West M'sia's was almost 6 years ago, on a 3 day 2 night trip to pay our last respects to my now belated grandmom. We didn't get to see much of course, and we only managed to travel around Malacca.

But thanks to certain opportunities and good waves of luck, this Chinese 牛 Year, I managed to get a chance to go to Kuala Lumpur, and even had a few days in Malacca to have a look see.

------------------------------------


Well, to start off, it isn't often students like us manage to hitch a ride on MAS airlines, haha. But I have to say they really actually DO charge pretty cheap! Considering the service they provide and their reliability.

Another advantage to taking MAS is...... You get to experience the newly completed and cool looking KKIA!!

\

The KKIA Departure Hall, Before departure.....



They even added the cool "travellators" that allow you to walk at a Superhuman pace

They really managed to make it look like KLIA.
(But that shouldn't be surprising considering it's the same people who designed the two airports)

Not many pics on the airports, coz it'll be better....... if you see it for yourself, hahaha.


Anyway, getting on the plane, you're greeted by the Batik clothed air-hostess and colourful seats that AirAsia didn't have.

And the BEST PART is......... you get........

FREE FOOD!!!

And after having a meal to stuff myself..... all you have to do is sit back, and enjoy the view.....










Err......... I think that's all for now, ran out of time to update, ehehe.

Will be back with more.
