+updates+

its been awhile since i logged onto blogger for some serious updates.. i've been busy lately, kinda happy i've got some stuffs to do instead of rotting around the apartment, just like now =/

anyhow, lets start from last thurs..
went to the pay respects to late-grandma, her 100th day since her departure. thinking back, i realised time really flies. when she left, i was about to enlist, and now, 13 weeks has gone by. and as i stepped into that place again, i realised i do not miss my grandma as much as i did 3 months ago.. which i guess is a good thing, cause the memories that stick on will only give you more pain..

the next three days (091205-111205) was the kuala lumpur trip with my family
it wasnt too bad lah, the bus ride was smooth, not much traffic on a friday morning, after 7 hours, we finally arrived at our place of reside for the next two nights, Palace of the Golden Horses.



it was stated there, 6-star hotel. where is the extra star? i dont find anything which deserved one more rating. i must say that the ambience and architectural design were one of its kind, something you might not find in malaysia. the first night, we toured the MINES shopping fair, and MINES wonderland. by the way, MINES is the management which has a string of hotels, and is responsible for this resort city. this resort city has its own golf course, hotels, lake, theme park, shopping centre etc. we had our steamboat dinner at a traditional malay house in the theme park, accompanied by a performance by dancers from sarawak. the night was rounded off with some spectacular display in the form of musical fountain.

the second day, we took a shuttle bus from our hotel to Kuala Lumpur City Center (KLCC). backed by the world's tallest twin towers, the petronas twin towers, we took some fotos just like everyone did, and this was one of the frustrated face because its so hard to get a nice picture of both towers looking majestic..



KLCC was more of a m'sia's answer to takashimaya. mostly imported goods, thus the prices were much more expensive than the usual local products. those stuffs out to exploit tourists' money. we took a short train ride to petaling street, aka chee chong kai. everything fake, everything cheap, a paradise for cheapos to grab whatever they cant afford yet want to feel "rich". i got myself some clothes and shoes =]

the sign says, jalan petaling, but due to my camera, its mirrored.


we hopped onto another train to Berjaya Times Square. yet another shopping paradise for christmas sweeping. a ten-storey shopping mall, a part of it is joined by a hotel, and the 4 upper storeys consists of a indoor theme park. roller coaster rides, space odyssey, you name it, you'll find it there. my brother and i took a shot at some of the rides while the rest of the family continued their shopping. the whole space was so big i guess you wont finish in one whole day. the shops caters to both young and old, male and female. and there's a supermarket right at the low ground level for families who need to grab some groceries for their home. fortunately, most of the shops werent open for service at our time there, so we had more time to look around in the limited amount of time. this also gives us more reasons to check out that place on our next trip to kuala lumpur. we didnt have much trouble finding a cab back to our hotel because cabbies were sitting outside the shopping mall waiting for us. lol. we could choose which one we favoured and had fun slashing prices because most of these cab drivers didnt believe in taxi meters.

the final day at m'sia was the best time for us to grab our final stuffs, and time for more pictures at the hotel.



we had some misunderstanding with the hotel staff, causing some disputes, and i think im never gonna visit this hotel ever. the standards of hotel staff, breaching trust entrusted by its customers. these things inevitably happens all the time. and the bus which was due at 1500 came at 1545. we were more pissed than before. the fact that we were returning to motherland on a sunday evening meant we were in the middle of the peak traffic at the second link. by the time we got back home, it was already monday morning. =/ i hate travelling on buses.

monday was the section gathering, but only 5 went. how pathetic. thats the start of falling apart after three months together. had a decent meal at nydc before shopping. we met up with some of our platoon mates in the evening for a game of soccer match.

half of the block leave has gone by so quickly. xmas is less den a fortnight away. i guess thats something to look forward to somehow
