KL Day2

it's been a week!!!! can time juz be a little slower??!!
*
anyway, day 2 of the little short trip started with the complimentary breakfast at hotel. our hotel was mandarin court hotel. about sgd75 per nite. nice hotel near to train station but not near to any shopping area.
*
*
wanted to wake up early, but really too tried le. woke up near to 10am.. had the breakfast and went back to nap awhile b4 we checked out at 1pm and continue the day..

*

*went to berjaya times sq. tt whole stretch i supposed, is like our orchard road. but seriously, one berjaya times sq is sufficient to take one whole day to shop le.*tt shopping centre is soo soooo sooooooo big, tt it can house an indoor theme park! and the indoor themepark is not those kiddy kiddy kinds.. it's v large scale and the rides look real scary. i think the rides look even better than those at genting's. hubb wanted to try.. but as i grow older, i think my gut gets smaller.. im juz not brave enuff to say okay.*



it's simply awesome.. can u imagine?? a large scale themepark in a shopping mall! intially, i don knoe wad is sci centre. now, i dont know wad is escape. and, and, i seriously dont even know wad is vivocity and ion anymore! seriously, sad to say, besides stability, singapore has NOTHING to be proud of or to showoff. wad we can produce, pple can produce even bigger and even better.
*
juz a KL can be such eye-opener.. i cannot imagine wad things are there in other big nations. i really should travel more and see more and experience more things.. tt will teach me how not to be complacent.. lesson in life: u dont know where u really stand until u see where others stand.
*
lunch was at tis HK cafe. the food there - ultra yummy!!!

*i've never tasted porridge as smooooth as this!! i tot i was drinking soyabean!!*
*
*the duck meat.... simply u-lala!!!! im not a duck meat lover, but this duck meat is really really nice. the best i have tasted! and u must be a fool to pick away the skin. though sinful, but we still went ahead to eat the meat with the skin and fats cux we r no fools! shiok!*
**uncle duck! do give it a try if u come across one! no regrets!!*
*
but it was also at this mall tt we witnessed the passing away of a teenager probably in 19 or 20yrs old.. we were walking pass this bench and realised someone passed out. then his frens appeared and started shouting his name.. then a doc came and after a while, the security guards set up a tentage to surround the teen. but the top of the tent wasnt covered, so we went to higher levels to peep down.. and the teen was covered in black cloth already..
urgghh.. disturbing.. wondered wad happened to him..... life is soo fragile.. happily went shopping with frens but ended up dead in the mall. who'll expect that??*
anyway, we spent quite some time watching the process instead of shopping.. diao~~
*
me with my new bought shorts. it's really tough for me to find nice shorts and i bought 3 in one go! :)
*

things are generally cheaper there. if u go bugis street, the things r most prob selling at sgd15. but the things there r selling at rm15! now i can clearly understand y soo many msians like to come n work in sg. basically their purchasing power will increase by 4fold if they work in sg and spend in msia.
*
dont get it? see, their income, when converted frm sgd to rm is already 2x. but their commodities r also cheaper than our's by half. so effectively, 2x2 = 4! seriously, i feel im much loaded there than im in sg and naturally, shopping becomes more enjoyable!
*
left the mall at abt 7pm b4 we headed to petaling street for dinner.
*
*
and then to hotel to pick up our stuff and to the train station in KL.
*
the KL train station is much much better than the JB station. KL station looks as if it's an airport.
*
*din realised my arm is soo muscular!!**
as mentioned earlier, we were downgraded on the return trip as well. real sucky.. but this time round, we were provided supper and breakfast... then how come on the 1st trip, we were only given mineral water and a piece of choco cake leh? weird.. maybe due to the timing?? mmm..
*

*nasi lemak and nasi bryani...also can choose fried rice..*
**breakfast. tuna or egg sandwhich+drink*
*
all in all, we only spent abt 130 each on the train tix and accomodation. could b cheaper if we opt for lower class train tix or cheaper hotel. reasonable and highly recommended for a short getaway/breathing. come sept, my bday tt wkend, there'll be another long wkend. contemplating the possiblity of doing tis again..
*and lastly, some of the stuff i purchased..
*
y din i complete the outfit with a pair of shoes?????????
*
on the train back, also witnessed one phenomenon. i was looking out of the window and i constantly saw this moving car outside the window. over a long distance and the car was still side by side our train. this simply means that all the while, the car is moving at the same speed as our train!!!! stunned... how is that possible???!!
