Day 2 .. and 3! of KL

Belated post~~

See how much energy I have =p

Day 2

Woke up and went for prata. It was sooo yummy! Crispy, not too oily ..... cheap .. so so so YUMMY. The milo was fantastic too! Not thin .. nice and thick .. so yummy! In the end 3 pratas + 1 milo + 1 teh tarik = 5ish ringgit! zomg!

After breakfast we walked all the way to Times Square to do some shopping (well bought nothing in the end) but went to the amusement park instead. It was pretty good actually. The roller coaster was pretty fun. H was screaming like a girl while I was sitting there concerned about Malaysian safety inspections and stuff. Maybe should have just tried to enjoy myself, but maybe I worry too much =p

Had lotsa fun there, the favourite rides were the roller coaster and the er .. Galaxy Attack or something or other. It's that machine which rotates you around a pivot .. er you get upside down .. and stuff. It was fun!

Throughout the rides I was thinking .. hmm if an alien were to come and visit us and see that amusement park .. Well maybe not an alien .. someone like 暗闇の天使, they probably won't understand it. I know DA would be asking questions like why are you paying money, time (to develop, build blah) things which spin you around and make you feel sick? (ie DNA machine (w/e it's called).. I saw ppl looking rather sick when they got off the machine :S)

After getting spun around for a bit, we decided to call it quits and went to have yummy ice cream. The server dude seemed rather clueless and almost forgot to gimme my toppings! >:E. I had nuts though! NUTS! Nutty ice cream! YUMMMMMM

Nuts are the best things in the universe.

Walked back to Puduraya in search of the Fabled Chinatown™ after ice cream munchies. Weather was pretty good, but Puduraya's damn polluted. All the coaches .. pfft .. bad air! :S After walking for quite a bit, we felt we had reached it (cos of some sign .. a road sign!) and crossed the road. Instead of seeing chinese stuff, we were greeted with hordes of Indians and Indian shops. We were rather nonplussed and I was venturing that .. ZOMG the Indians have taken over Chinatown! :|

Thankfully that was not so though =p and we managed to find Chinatown. It's nicely decorated by a big gate thingie that tells you you're zomg entering Chinatown (which actually is just a cross junction but ..). We were looking at the gate and at the throngs of ppl ... The blazing sun beat down on our backs ..

We took refuge in a nearby shopping centre.

Twas a fantastic shopping centre! So many things! So many .. er .. cheap dvds and vcds! And games too! We spent like 2 hours in it looking (well waiting) at .. er . .stuff! before deciding to head out to Chinatown first (to see if there's er .. cheaper stuff before deciding to buy er .. stuff! in the mall)

Thankfully the sun wasn't as blazing as it was earlier and the throngs of people had thinned somewhat. We stepped into Chinatown (actually just 1 street) and looked around.

Actually .. there's not really many things to buy in Chinatown .. most of the shops are selling pretty much the same thing. It's like an uncreative Simcity mayor just zoning everything as commercial (thankfully the sims are more creative and set up different shops! .. Kinda).

The stuff that Chinatown sells can be pretty much summed up as .. Bags.. clothes .. glasses.. watches.. vcds.. Bags.. glasses.. clothes.. watches.. glasses.. Oh yeah and the very occasional food ..

There's some hotels stuffed in the middle of the cross junction Chinatown. Sucky place, wouldn't want to be in a hotel there...

H bought a couple of bags there (must remember to bargain! Quote <50%> there! But yet .. A&W is like some kind of endangered species. Haiz the power of marketing?

We were going to have our proper dinner at KFC to eat the yummy looking Zinger Maxx, but we got sidetracked by some Mexican restaurant called Nanda (or something or other) which H said was absolutely fantastic. It's somewhat like Kenny Rogers, as in you have 1/4 or 1/2 chicken and 2 sides. It was not too bad! But I think I don't really fancy Mexican chilli. It's okay but .. mmm not as yummy as Chinese chilli ^^

After the foodo we decided to head back to the lodge hotel to rest. Was so tired ... just lay on the bed and fell asleep. Wanted to go for drinks @ Yoko's but was so so so very tired ..... sigh. No long island tea!!! ;_;


Day 3

Didn't do much, we got up early and checked out of the lodge hotel to go to Genting. We hailed down a cab who told us he'd drive us to the terminal and get us a Genting cab, 10$ for terminal, 50$ for Genting. We thought it was Genting terminal .. and I was thinking huh 10$ huh.. that's cheap.. so we took him up on the offer. Then he drove us to Puduraya. We were -_-, we could have walked there in like 15mins. 50$ for the Genting cab was a little too ex too <_< But oh well .. learnt something there...

The ride up to Genting was fun man, it reminded me so much of NFS, was thinking of driving my car up and taking all those turns at high speeds. Hehe. Air was fantastic too! And the fog! So fun! (and dangerous!) As we headed up, visibility dropped to like 10ish metres. o.o Still we managed to get there in 1 piece and scampered into the hotel (it was cold! .. and wet!)

Sadly we couldn't ninja a ride with H's parents, so we had to book our own bus back. To while the time, we went around the hotels/theme parks. Not too bad lah .. but damn boring. The pool table totally sucked. The cues were making such .. odd sounds when they hit the balls, and the balls were making odd sounds when they hit each other. Table was old and our balls kept getting stuck -_-. The chalk was chained to the table and was all worn out too. Gah the power of non competition.

Finally the time came and we boarded the bus to head back to SG. Takes soo long to get from Genting - SG. zzzz

Anyways in conclusion (yeah I'm getting sleepy and tired!) it was pretty fun! KL is pretty meh, but it has yummy food (and long island tea!) and Genting is a zzzz land. But would be nice to go again!.. Hopefully live in a better lodge hotel next time though!

Partial photos are up at the photo link on the left! Too lazy to insert pics into the post .. hehe .. we'll see!
