A simple life?

Really good coach. I recommend it to anyone who wants to have a comfortable and fast trip to KL. They serve food mostly is ahotdog bun with different fillings in it, coffee or tea, mineral water, hot towels and if you're lucky or probaby if driver happy that day you get a packet drink. If you're cold can ask for a blanket and they have pillows too! Takes about 5 hours to get there. Costs $110 for both ways if you book from singapore. I think booking the return trip in malaysia would be cheaper.

Mushroom chicken hotdog was served on that day. Was too tired too eat.

Some crappy show in the bus. Was too tired too watch.

Now here's the story about the hotel. Checked into my room and saw that my room didn't have windows and it was freaking cold. In the end changed to a room with a window, but it was still freaking cold. The pic above is the stupid aircon switch which can't turn off the aircon. It runs 24 hours a day! Freezing like shit. Anyway what i heard from my classmates was that chinatown hotels cannot stay one. Realised my hotel was quite lup sup with a most probabaly lup sup massage parlour.

The window in my room. Only the upper sliding part could be opened. WTS!?

Something to remind me of rocky! Nah, bought it just in case i was hungry.

I think this is a mosque. Very nice building just opp. the old KL railway station where we take our coach home.

Couldn't resist taking this picture when the coach reached the KL toll booth.

Overall i would say the trip wasn't what i was expecting and a very tiring one. The thing i enjoyed the most was the course which lasted about 3 hours. Petaling street was really wasn't what i expected. Quite a turn off when i saw it.Wanted to buy a handbag for my mum and aunty but the stuff there are not cheap esp. if you don't bargain. I duno wads the price of those original branded handbags but i saw one chiong one there like at 1118rm. So many people selling vcds and dvds. They even just openly ask you if you want porn.

When my uncle reached on friday, we started the shopping marathon. Walked around from 2 in the afternoon to about 8 at night then we reached back to the hotel. Went to sungei wang plaza, metrojaya, midvalley megamall and 1utama. Overall i would say that midvalley megamall is the best of all even though 1 utama is claimed to be the biggest. But its really dammmmmm big. Take like the whole of taka and lucky plaza join together you almost get 1 utama. Nothing really much to buy tho.

Actually my idea of a holiday isn't something like chiong shopping, eating, sightseeing. I think something like the trip to malacca with sam was an ideal one. Relac. Didn't have to hurry here hurry there. Go back hotel and relac when tired then go out again. Ate good and cheap hawker food. Drank designer coffee, although lao saied later on but it was good. Now that's a holiday. Not one where you have to chiong here chiong there, walk until you feel like just collapsing to the bed and slp, but of course thats because we only had a day. Beach resorts here i come!
