IMe

my first post using the iPhone.

I am solo damn bored now. Have just sent my bro-in-law at TTSH. Waiting at the kopitiam, after a hard day of work. Work which happened to involve: a bus. Soap. And lots of water.

Sigh.

Up North

A short trip to KL...

DAY 1
Got up early in the morning on Friday, the eve of my B'day. Got the stuff loaded onto the car and left for the causeway. After a breakfast stop... the fun began. I reached the highway. 110km/h is legal. Weehee. A few minutes into the drive i realised that driving in the NS Highway is soo different. Its mostly 2 lanes. And cars on the first lane travel up to about 200km/h. yes. that is shocking. The car appears in the rear view mirror, and the next you know. Its on your tail, forcing you to give way. 

So after about 2 hours... reached Ayer Keroh R&R. I sooo wanted to get my hand on the yummy root beer float from A&W. To my horror, the A&W there was closed for upgrading. Ahhhh.

After a while more of driving, reached KL, and got into their SMART Tunnel. its great, cos i hate the heavy traffic. 

The hotel check-in process was crapy. We got a room key for the suite... only to get to the suite and realise that it is still occupied by people. It was 3pm, and the checkout time is 1pm latest. WTF. the people in the room just didn't seem to care. And guess wat, the room opposite it was sealed off. Like all the edges of the door and card-key access was sealed with tape. Freaky. I started to wonder. Perhaps it was a crime scene. Someone died there? So the obvious happened. We made a huge fuss and got another room.

The room is not too bad. It has a total of 2 bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen, and 3 bathrooms. With huge windows all around, providing a magnificent view. Suites.

DAY 2
Clock strikes 12mn, i was busy sleeping. My family decides to wake me. Surprise. And there were fireworks too.. arnd the KLCC area. Uber cool. (fireworks were for the merdeka eve celebrations i guess.) After the cake cutting... food arrives to the room. A wonderful spread. But its like 12mn...

After a good sleep, got up early to get to Genting. This time, my dad drove. Genting was, as always, cool. After i while in the theme parks and having lunch, left Genting to visit the National Zoo. It is soo interesting. It was traveling back in time. - Visualize the Singapore Zoo 10 years ago.

DAY 3
My bro-in-law drives to Ipoh area... for some hot spring. Cool. I mean hot! Dinner was at Planet Hollywood! The food was really good, and the portions was just a bit too much.  A trip to Zouk followed. Valvet underground called.... and my entire family went. lolx. yes, my entire family.

DAY 4
I drive back to Singapore. This time i felt *experienced*. Visibility was bad up to Ayer Keroh area, as it was raining heavily. After that, the road was wonderful. So it was 160km/h. wee hee. The car was superb. Not a pinch of vibration. Really smooth ride. Only a few cars overtook me/forced me out of the first lane, like a BMW M3, Merc SLK, Merc C-class...
