rite.. so a few days ago wayne had asked me to go kl with him.. mainly cuz his sis and her 10 fren backed out last min.. his mom had made reservations for 3 rooms and it was too late to unbook them.. best chance? at least invite some pplto take the rooms.. lol... he had asked the usual group, me, yangsheng, minkuan and andrew.. tho only me and yangsheng were free... so after packing at home... they found my place and off we went to kl! we played the word game along the way.... kinda interesting when u've got nth better to do.... i'll explain it another time.. typing doent cut it to describe this game.. lol.. so yea.. once we arrived in kl and took our rooms in berjaya times square hotel, we jus hung around the hotel room.. checking out the area... swimming pool, gym, spa... not bad, basially walking around the 1st day.. then had a dinner afterward... cost over rm100! for 4 ppl.. each of us picked out one dish for everyone to enjoy.. lol, rice included.. damn filing, damn nice.. walked around a bit to find a piercing shop (cost rm3.50...zzz, s'pore costs $4!) so now i've got 7 piercings =D...we went back to the hotel room and the 3 of us played cards (forgot to say, wayne's mom slept in another room.. while their family fren took the remaining room) played cards and i took a bath.. my first bath i around 12 yrs! i've been taking showers for so long that i've kinda forgot how to enjoy a bath properly... so nice.. a hot bath, damn relaxing too... by the time i came out, both of them had fallen asleep... so yea, i was stuck sleeping with yangsheng while wayne had the bed all to himself -.-... zzz... midway thru the nite, yangsheng was sleeptalking about uploading in youtube -.-... wat the, woke me halfway.. after trying to talk to him, i realized he was sleep talking... zzz, so i turned on the tv (mainly to drown out his sounds) and drifted back to sleep...
next day i was woken up by them.. zzz, so early too! din sleep well cuz of the sleeptalk of uploading -.-... neway today we went to some IT mall.. its HUGE, and brilliant.. lol, sth like sim lim but looks way better, sim lim's kinda rundown..neway checked out com stuff and more.. after that we went around a few other malls and walked around b4 eating.. after that we went back to the hotel but noticed a crowd gathering at some place.. we went down and saw that it was a choir from some european country (wayne said croatia... i have no idea) singing in the main square.. we had nth better to do so we jus stood there and watched them.. noticeable ppl include the black hair soloist, who sang in malay! and a blondie, who was hands down the prettiest in the entire cohort... nehoo, after they sang we went back up to our room.. another scene here -.-... saw a pretty gal walk in, wearing business attire, walk in.. obviously i look at the face when she's coming in the elevator rite? she turned around and i noticed sth shining... looked down and realized she was wearing a g string made out of silver -.-.. her back zip on her skirt was unopened! i looked at the other guys and they were like trying to pretend nth happened... i was like.. well, better not look.. so i looked away... when she got off i quickly closed the door.. unfortunately that gave me another peek -.-, felt bad.. lol.. went back to our rooms and jus slacked around.. we were hungry so we went down to the food court to eat... another racist restaurant -.-... only place left open was italian.. one guy asked in malay to the malay chef, one pizza plz.. we were jus 2 secs behind him and asked for pizzas too... he said no more.. so he pointed out wat was left on the menu.. a few pastas... i picked out a cheap but big one and he said oh, that one no more... even tho i pointed it out earlier.. another guy came, spoke malay and ordered sth... i realized later it was the same one i pointed -.-! zzz, racist... so me and yangsheng ate our pastas slowly ordered by a racist fella... wayne din wanna eat.. went back home and took another bath.. so nice... when i came back yangsheng and wayne were sleeping on the same bed.. so i had the other bed all to myself =D
next morn i was awoken by them -.-.. they shouted "blondie's swimming!" i was like WHERE! LOL... geez.. turns out that the choir gals were staying in our hotel and were swimming.. so they asked me to get ready and all swim together.. reached the pool and went in.. it was FREEZING... to a point that when i whacked wayne's hand he couldnt feel it -.-... nehoo, we couldnt help but look in the choir gals directions all the time.. u should know y -.-.. me and wayne did swim near them sometimes but yangsheng was a little (ok, a lot) chicken to go near them.. zzz, so we jus did our own stuff.. dive, swim under each other's legs to see our swim styles... lying on the floor, flips, plenty of stuff... wayne's mom brought us some chicken.. so we ate then later went back down to swim.. the pool was EMPTY... totally... well we continued to swim a bit and since we were back in the freezing water which we all loved we jus chatted mainly... doing stupid stuff.. lol... after that we got dried... passed by the gym and decided to go to a place we saw as "entertainment" on the tourist map they had.. we went and found out its a clubbing place -.-! so we went around the various shopping malls...most were boring but one that we went to.. damn nice.. SUPER high class... the entire basement is a pub area.. everything has an AMAZING ambience to it... the upper floors are equally high class... there's even a lounge area with lots of comfy chairs for the public.. obviously the price for everything in the mall was super expensive...but it was kool to be in such a high class mall.. even s'pores paragon is extremely cheapskate compared to that place.. later we met with wayne's mom and she treated us swensens.. thanx! i ate steak and later a few slices of pizzas, and still ate chicken baked rice with cheese.. damn filling.. as a dessert i still chose earthquake cuz i thot i could take it.. wel i guess not... lol... it was HUGE.... only ate like a quarter of it b4 i couldnt take it nemore -.-.. so the rest took it... lol... wentback to the hotel and walked around.. thinking of wat to do next, decided to watch eragon... very good movie, i havent read the book yet cuz jus seeing the cover turned me off completely -.-.. there's definitely gonna be a 2nd part... with the 2 remaining dragons left! aye.. we walked around and decided to go bowling the next morn.. then leave after that cuz yangsheng needed to go batam.. tho he mite not be able to cuz we heard that johor was being flooded... so yea.. we went back to the hotel room.. slacking around and me taking another sweet bath b4 going to sleep

Interesting... I haven't been stopped by checkpoint for a while, mainly because of my haircut, I guess I look less gangsterous now?
Anyhoo, that thought died as the lady scanned my card. I could pretty much see that she wasn't very sure of herself as she was scanning my student pass. Hmmm, well, she let me off, so I was like "what was that about". I got my answer a mere seconds later entering the gates where you scanned your belongings. I picked up my bag and suddenly an officer I had seen run after I was winding down the path to the scanning area stopped me.
"Excuse me, can I see your passport please?"
Sure, I took it from my bag and passed it to him. He seemed confused and asked his two colleagues there to take a look. They asked why I didn't stamp my passport in Malaysia which would give me a legal stamp of exiting. I explained that I had a stamp on the back of my passport, coupled with my Social Visit pass, which allowed me to stamp in and out only once a month at Malaysia's custom to save space in my passport. They took a closer look and yeah, I was let off.. um, sort of.
They were about to let me go, but as always, I'm checked for my belongings, yet again! So they opened up my bag and asked me whether I smoked, obviously I said no. Then they asked me whether I took drugs, which I again said no! I don't know whats up with the drugs and smoking questions I always seem to get while being stopped at the checkpoint. He checked my bag and the female colleague asked where I studied, telling her ITE, the guy checking my bag said "Bible school?" Eh, nopes dude. He saw my bag was empty except for my cellphone, lab book for school and my Bible, which I bring around everywhere I go. Suddenly he stopped checking and let me off, complimenting me on my hair, saying I looked cool. I didn't know what to do except thank him and look puzzled, meanwhile his female colleague looked at me and said I was cute. Um, at this I nearly laughed out. Though she was young (and quite pretty =x) I was a little taken aback, cause I don't really like being called cute, no matter who it's from, I mean come on...me, cute? Most of your colleagues brand me as a gangster, since when was there a cute gangster?
Ah well, I still liked the compliment... Thanks?
