KL trip report
Heres a brief trip report on my getaway to KL last weekend.
Took a Sri Maju bus costing $25 per trip, Could not get the aeroline or transtar first class bus thou (which cost about 58 per way). Due to the last min decision to go by dan.
Well reach KL on sat 1 am! had supper at one of the famous store.. can remember i think "fatty grandma place"in chinese or something like that. Chicken rice , hor fun and veg . Taste good but the chicken wasn't too good thou. maybe a bit over cooked.
And after which went back to the hotel (the-ascott next to KLCC/petronas tower nice view)
spend the nice boozing and watching DVD...
The next day morning we headed down to bukit bintang checking out the new service apartment - ritz carlton , which just opened recently. posh looking interior but price anit cheap.
After which we got some DVD at the famed sungei wang shopping mall (why famed coz its full of the friendly stuff like xbox , DVD discs at super low price 8RM each). After which we headed out to genting highlands, To get there you have to take up taxi pooling at putaraya bus terminal's carpark. Theres a sign saying "genting taxi service". And you will be ushered to a cabby and there you can bargain for the best rates (about $17RM a pax).
If you like initial D the movie, you will have no problem siting in one of these cabs. I mean they are really good. Cutting thru the curves with one elbow resting on the door at hmm 80/90km/h or more. New roads up genting highland these day makes the ride rather straight with curves only towards the end of the trip.
With so much swaying in the cab , Have to take a breather up there in the clouds. Well surprisingly the weather anit that cold up there. Maybe due to global warming. Grab a cuppa at starbucks before heading to the casino.
Been to casino in melbourne (crown) and Sydney but not any asian casino. This was an eye opener bascially. Genting casino, the banker spend alot of time change money to chips for the players. And seems like theres no farangs (caucasians) at all seems like us asians are the number one gamblers. Another mark difference is i don't see any brochures explaining the harm of gambling addiction and what number to call for counciling .
We got back to earth at approx 6pm , to meet up with carol and her bf at damansara. Gosh she has really lost alot of weight. Didn't really stay with them for long as we had to rush down to Sentral for a post deepavali party organised by kumar (dan's friend/classmate) .
Allan as usual the entertainer, draw the most attention. And no amount of drinks can get him down. Left B-Sentral and head down to a pub bojangles to watch the match between england and argentine and what a match. final score 3-2. Outside the pub theres this roving supper truck. It serves steam boat meals. Just pick any stick or skewers with seafood and boil in the pot provided. At the end of the meal just show them the skewers and pay accordingly. Cool, like the concept.
The next day , had my jog at the gym , breakfast on the 22 floor and later got a tann and did a few laps on the pool. Before heading back to singapore.
