On the Way Down to KL 6th January 2010

January 20, 2010January 20, 2010 sweet surrender 2 Comments

I have so many pending posts, don’t know where to start hahaha… Anyway, I’m just going to share with you the view when we went down to KL from Genting Highlands.

Bought the bus tickets to KL Sentral at the bus station just outside of First World Hotel. No delay this time unlike in KL Sentral whoever waiting there were people eager to go down so the bus was filled in no time. The fare was RM5.30/person.

Didn’t get to enjoy the scenery from the taxi and my previous trip here.

Left: The green mountains and the blue sky VS the concrete highway.

Right: Hahaha… As if I’ve never seen toll station before ;p

KL in view… The one on the right is Mont Kiara, I hope I got it right ;p

Once you see Hilton Meridian, then you will know KL Sentral is just around the corner but the view you see here isn’t near yet(for a Kuchingite standard hehehe…).

New Year Lunch @ After 3

January 19, 2010January 20, 2010 sweet surrender No Comments

Long overdue post! ;p I forgot!!! Hehehe…

On 1st January 2010, I had lunch with some secondary ex-classmates at After 3. It was a last minute decision that we had made on the night of Ritta’s wedding dinner reception. Many didn’t turn up as it’s too last minute.

Our lunch, so you know how many turn up? ;p Plus one that only came for a drink. Do your math hahaha…

I hope I got the food names correctly, it’s been so long already.

Left: Noodle with Mushroom with Shredded Chicken(RM5).

Right: I ordered Butter Diced Chicken with Rice(RM6), I like it. It’s slightly spicy(but will be quite spicy for those that cannot tolerate spiciness), sweet, and buttery. I didn’t expect it to taste this good. I was only expecting the usual buttered chicken rice.

Left: Homemade Noodle Soup with Seafood(RM5).

Right: Ipoh “Hor Fun” Soup with Shredded Chicken(RM5).

The last time I was at After 3 with my family was a very disappointing experience. This time, it seemed like there’s huge improvement on the food. However, the service still wasn’t so good.

Body Combat @ tHe Spring

January 18, 2010January 19, 2010 sweet surrender 5 Comments

Last Saturday and Sunday, Level Up was having free body combat classes for the public and its members at tHe Spring in conjunction of the launch of My Privilege Book 2010 issue.

I joined the Sunday class. Supposed to be a group of friends of 5 but ended up with 2 friends only. Was out of breath around 4 times but was OK after few minutes of rest. Didn’t do the last bits of the ending though coz really couldn’t continue anymore ;p

I was expecting body ache today but hehehe… None… Surprising for someone that only exercise once in a blue moon ;p. I worked so much harder compare to previous times. My coordination improved too. It’s a progress at least.

Since it was at tHe Spring and the place was big enough, the ventilation was better compare to previous time at the gym, we were standing too near to each other and I almost faint because I didn’t get enough air.

It was a fun session 😉 We also got one-week free pass to the gym. I haven’t even redeem my one-month free pass *LOL* Will do it after Chinese New Year.

Hills Shopping Mall

The latest shopping mall in town, Hills Shopping Mall, but hmmm… A bit too small *LOL* Kinda disappointing. Ah well… It’s not officially open yet. It’s located at the same building as Pullman.

Went there just now to see see look look. It’s only two floors, not big. Basically with two rows of shops on each floor. The shops mostly sell clothes. I just found out bing! actually has a branch there too! There’s quite a number of eateries there too.

Here are some photos to share:

Just a short update. Going to sleep now! Night!

Genting Highlands 6th January 2010

Didn’t get a good night sleep, practically not sleeping at all for all of us. The fan speed couldn’t be controlled, even the slowest was still so fast. It dried up my nose and my nose got blocked until I couldn’t breath and I had to rushed to the bathroom to get the hot water from the tap to drink to ease my nose and wash my face. It’s a good thing the tap water can be drank so you get drinking water anytime you need be it hot or cold.

It was quite cold too. I couldn’t stand it and off the fan, the fan was pretty noisy. Once it’s off, it’s so quiet. At least I did get a few hours on and off sleep after that.

My dad did sleep for few hours until he woke up from having an itchy back then went back to sleep again. Easy! Just hear him snored(I could sleep even people next to me is snoring but I couldn’t sleep listening to the noise from the fan) and you will know he’s sleeping hahaha… My mom didn’t sleep much too, it’s too cold and she hated the blanket *LOL* She also woke up suddenly due to itchy back. Wonder why? Their bed got some bugs? *LOL*

I hated the blanket too. You know the brown rough kind. Anyway, our room was quite far away, had to take two lifts and walked a long way to reach but nice view.

Opened the door and greeted by this nice view and cold fresh air. Nice sunrise. Since we all couldn’t sleep, we woke up before 7am.

The cloud was down there, we’re up there! If you’re staying at First World Hotel, you’ll be inside the cloud.

Since the room was inclusive of breakfast for 2, so my mom and I went for it while my dad went to look for his own breakfast, he ended up having it at the casino coz got free flow Milo(he liked the Milo a lot while my mom and I liked the teh tarik) and food were cheaper than out there.

Happy Valley Seafood for our breakfast buffet.

The food variety were just right. Wanted to try everyone of them but my stomach wasn’t feeling very well when I’m half way eating *LOL* I hadn’t done my “big business” after I woke up.
