Cottage by the River

Dear Bloggie,

Finally I got the Batam Trip post up. Scroll down to 14th April, and you can view the full entry.

And so I thought I'm quite free now seeing that I have finished my Econs, and am more then halfway through my Accounts, let me finish up the KL part too kae. =)

KL Trip (6th - 9th Arpil)

There will be more text then photos as most of the time I was either busy eating or busy shopping.

The trip up was horrible till well... just horrible.

Coz I went with Qian and 2 of her colleauges, 1 of which is a Malaysian. So we didnt manage to buy the Coach ticket up, so he suggested lets try something else. Which was disatrous. But well, experience gained too.

7am, we meet at Bugis MRT station. Took a $2.40 bus to woodlands checkpoint. After all the jam at the checkpioint, we finally reach the imigration centre around 2hours later. And its like crowded with so much people, that we are stuck at the immigration centre for another like close to 2hours? After which, we got up the $2.40 bus again around 10plus 11am, to some bus terminal. Over there, we spent RM40 for this bus ride to KL.

Okie, just as I thought all was fine... Everything turned out worst. The bus, this bus... is simply HORRIBLE!!! Its crowded, the aircon is not working, and its noisy with kids and aunties and ah bengs... And this is a "no kidding" 5hours bus journey.

So okie.. And its not fast loh. The uncle was pretty slow. By the time we reached KL, its like what. 4-5pm. My one whole day GONE!! I was pretty depress I can tell you...

So Qian's dad got a lady to pick us up at the KL bus terminal... And we proceed to her Dad's house.

Qian's dad got a pretty house!

Under the glass, is a Koi pond...

Which links all the way outside, and back to the house again. Damn nice I can tell you... =)

Right after we deposited our bags in the room, we said we wanted to go shopping. The lady (her name is Amy) brought us to 1Utama.

At the A&W at 1Utama... Walk too much liao. Qian and me was trying hard to find Watson at that huge shopping complex. We didnt bring out bathing stuff, hoping to lighten out backpack.. So need to find Watson to buy our shampoo and shower cream.. If not cant bath lah.. Hehe.. So we walk and walk till damn tired. So go A&W for a break...

So shoik!! This shopping centre is way way bigger then Mid Valley in my opinion.

This is our breakfast on the next day. =) I love dim sum...

After that we spent the entire day at KL City. Okie, no photos here... As I was busy shopping... =)

Ermm... Think we are queuing up for dinner. Amy suggested Nandos. Malaysia's very own Kenny Rogers.

Inside Nandos... I know the photos are boring.. But really no other better photos. All the time, I was shopping and shopping. This is taken after a long day of walking. From Berjaya Time Square, we walk to Lot 10, then to Bukit Bintang, then to Starhill... Then took a cab to KLCC...

And this is our Dinner~*

Not my dinner. More of Jimmy's dinner... =)

Okie.. This is then my dinner. Ermm.. Not that bad, but give me Kenny Rogers anytime... =)

Okie, an obigatory photo... The dao zi yi you photo... I'm so damn tired to even try taking a photo with this tower...

Final Day at KL, we started the day with Bak Kut Teh... And Amy drove us down to Mid Valley, for our final round of shopping. =)

They picked us up from Mid Valley around 4plus, and proceed to this place (which till now I got no idea where is it...) for dinner.

Nice? Too bad I just miss the sunset...

So this is where we'll have our dinner... Nice ambience.. Cool breeze, beautiful water and great company. =)And the food.... BEST SEAFOOD I have ever tried. No seafood I have every ate in Singapore can hold a candle to this. The food is simply W O N D E R F U L !!!!

After the simply marvouslous dinner, Qian's dad brought us to see firefly. I cannot tell u how excited I am.. Coz I am like a city kid 1st time going to the country... Coz you see, out of the 4 of us, Qian's been to her granny's house somewhere in Malaysia during the CNY, Shawn's a Malaysian, and Jimmy's been tru NS. So left me... I have never seen firefly before, and the very thought makes me so damn excited.

No photos of it thou.. Coz its not allowed.. =(

But a wonderful experience. We board this sampan.. Went tru the swamp... You lift up your head, all that would great you is stars.. Nothing else but stars.. The Orion, Big Dipper.. And all others that I couldnt recongnise would appear bright and clear, right before your eyes... And not to forget the fireflies.. All resting in the trees... Looking like christmas lights on a christmas trees.. We even got to hold a couple in our hands. =)

Truth be told, I was pretty disappointed with the fireflies... Coz it stay on its peaceful trees, shinning away.. Only once or twice you can catch a glimsp of a couple flying around. But well.. Its so romantic.

Next time, I hope to bring my love one there. A quiet boat ride down the swamp... With the skies full of stars shinning right above you, and fireflies flying right beside you. This is well.. Oooh... So sweet. =)

Okie, thats when we call it an end, and the next day we took the coach (a direct one straight to singapore) back home. =)

In summary, I bought a total of 4 paris of shoes, 3 story books, foods and some other unaccounted stuff which even I forgot what I bought. Hehe... =)

Okie.. Thats about all.

I'm watching Full House now on vcd. So damn romantic.

Rain is so damn cute and is calling me back to finish up the show... See ya guys~~*
