Finally term 4 is over and we had decided to go KL for this term break. So last week we go ahead and book for a 3D2N trip to KL , we booked cheap bus tickets from Causeway Link @ $49 for a return trip , was quite good deal :P cos we wanted to make this as budget as possible. Hotel , we manage to get staff price for Hilton ( @ least 5 star) as JS 's cousin is working there, so we got quite a good deal.

On Sunday, I went over to JS place to stay over and went to mit the gals @ IMM the next day @ 7.45 am as the bus leave IMM @ 8am.( Forget to mention that my throat was swollen on saturday nite and it makes me hard to eat or sallow. Did not inform JS about it cos feels bad about it cos he said that he had rsvp some very sweet melon for me the day b4. So ends up i have to drink his "special milk" - mix of ribena + milk , rock melon and 1 cup of tiger beer , was like hell trying to sallow but endure it somehow. Also did not have a good sleep due to the throat and cough)

It rained that morning and ends up me n JS had to share his tiny umbrella from JE mrt to IMM. Had a quick coffee there and bought MAC for breakfast on the bus. The bus leave quite on the dot and seems not too bad for a budget price we paid for it. After both customs, all 4 of us proceed with operation "tiloh" ( sleep in malay - dunno if i spell correctly though). We reach the outskirt of KL ard 1 pm+ , it was not where we supposed to stop. Js was hmm not happy as per normal, but no choice cos so lucky for us that the day we arrive is the first day they started to use the temp bus interchange, due to Ramadan, they scare all buses will jammed the city area, so for that abt 20 days , all travel coaches will have to stop outside in the outskirt and transfer to the city itself. We took a cab to the hotel , which was less then 15 min away. The hotel had a great location , right next to the train station which happen to be the main interchange station.

We found Js's cousin GF and she assisted us to check-in , only to find out none of us had a credit card on us , luckily Lynn got hr mum's debit card. Proceed to the room and drop our stuff and make our way out for lunch as all of us was very hungry ( Js actually wanted to take a shower, but was denied cos he shower very long one ). We took a cab to Mid-Valley Plaza and had lunch @ this Italian grill chicken restarant called "Nado" ( i think again ). Food was good but due to my throat ... i had minimum :( after that we continue to shop a bit here n there and then make our way back to the hotel. Drop our stuffs and leave for din din @ Jalan Alok ( Js keep telling his cousin that we are eating @ Lorong Ah Soo .... duhz ... 1 in KL and 1 in SG , huge difference).

After din din , we had a walk along Bukit Bintang and Js wanted to show us the stretch of happening pubs along bintang walk but after walking for a long long time , we gave up then took a cab back to the hotel , 1 min after in the cab ... we saw the place that we wanted to go LOL . Reach hotel , supposed to have a drinking + cards session , but Js complaint of back pain and thus all was cancelled as he was really having a really backache. Can see that he is really in great pain. At around 3+ saw that he like kinda of sleeping on the floor liao then i went to sleep.( was kinda of sad when in the morning , when complaint tired and said was staying up till 3am++( have to admit i was tired but of cos i saw that he was like sleeping) to make sure he was ok ... he say where got ... i was sleeping soundly , where got stay up for him ... really @#$@$.Woke up ard 5am + cos he went toliet and on all the light :( . then went ahead to bed again. Woke up in the morning ( supposed to be 7am but too tired so we all wake up ard 8am++) went ahead with breakfast in the hotel , I didn't enjoy much again cos i had a hard time swallowing :(

Left the hotel ard noon time and took a cab to Plaza Darmas to this shop called "EuroChef" they sells alot of kitchenware and esp alot of "Matfer" products, one of the reasons why we came to KL. Found the place and bought some stuffs, so happy that i finally got my white set of chef knife n saw knife, bough also a tool for cake deco and a "pen" for writing. We spend a total of more then 1K RM there.... pocket burn hole ..... After that we had some cakes tasting ard there, the cakes looks really nice but taste wise .... so-so only. But they have a tea there that i tried was quite good ... it's called "San Terri Love Story " it consist of - apple , passion fruit , cinnimon , honey , lemon flavour tea ... it was quite good !!! ( think the shop is called San Terri Cafe @ Sri Harmas Plaza"

We made our way to One Utma after that and had lunch @ this vietnam restaurant called "Vietnam Kitchen" , the food was actually very good , Esp to try is the Pork ribs in caramel sauce , steam mince meat , pork in coconut sauce and more ... actually no complaint about the food @ all , Js 's favourite drink was the "six treasure " highly recommanded. After lunch , me and lynn went to buy rose petals for Js , as he always say he wanted to have bath in a bathtub with rose petals. Played hide-n-seek with them as to keep it a surprise for him.Made our way back to the hotel as the cousin going to bring us out for din din that nite.

Lynn , Js and me went ahead to the jaccuize and pool after that we had fun with the slide there :) Yj did not join us in the pool cos "come red". Js's cousin came n mit us at ard 7+ and we all went back to the room to take a shower nad then left for din din. After din din , we drive ard a bit then headed back to the hotel. Had some "cat fight" in the room and Js proceed with his rose bath. In the end , he actually fall asleep inside, lynn n Yj shared the bathtub in the other room , me n Js's cousin was in the room watching movies. Did not ton that nite also cos the cousin sleeping in our room and he working early that day. Lynn was tired too , Js a bit drunk but sober after the shower which i ask him to take to wash off those petals.

Last day , suppose to go KLCC but overslept and long breakfast , can u believe ??? they ate for about 2 hours , i went back to bed cos i can't eat much again. After that they played again in the room at @ 12pm finally we get our asses out to have lunch @ Times Square. Was quite rush for all cos we need to be back @ the hotel b4 3pm and check out by 3.30pm to take a cab as our bus will leave @ 4pm.Reach the temp bus stop ard 4pm and got on the bus. The bus left about 4.15pm and by ard 8pm we reach woodlands custom, was quite fast as there was no jams.

Think we wasted tooooo much time in sleeping and in the room doing cat fights. other then that do enjoy the company of them, wish i was not sick though ,,... can't really enjoy all the good food. hope to do it again with them soon, luv you gals n guy.
