Our KL Trip!

Short getaway with Baby on a 3D2N trip to Kuala Lumpur on the weekend before Xmas.
Was a good break from work.
KL had nothing much to offer though (except for the great clubbing!).
Fashion sucks, nothing much to walk or go to.
But just being with Baby makes the trip super enjoyable!
We can be anywhere in the world as long as we are there together =)

My virgin flight on Jetstar.
Have nvr taken budget airlines before.
But Jetstar seems ok. At least we get to choose and reserve our seats in advance.
I will never take Air Asia or Tiger Airways!
Flight was at 630am...super early.
Was at the airport by 445am. *yawnz*
Only had about 3 hours of sleep.

Disney at Changi



Harrods at KLIA! (Kuala Lumpur International Airport)
Uber cute!




I love this Harrods brolly!
But i din buy it coz everything is super overpriced.


Baby using my Hello Kitty pen to fill up his immigration card.
That's one of the Kitty pens he bought for me from Japan's Universal Studio!


Upon arriving, we took the KL Express train to KL Central,
before transfering to a monorail to get to our hotel's train station.
The express train was nice and clean with comfy seats.
But oh boy, their public transport sucks!
Everything looks old and dirty. The monorail looks like it can breakdown any moment.
KL is still a rather backward place by my standards!
I thot they are supposed to be a very developed city.
But kinda looks like Bangkok to me. Haha.
In fact i think Bangkok trains are better and cleaner.

We are finally at our hotel, Berjaya Times Square,
where their rooms are all suites.
We booked the normal suite room.
Good news is that upon our request, we cud check in early at 12pm,
n check out late at 2pm! =)

Here's our suite.
There is a living room, dining table, kitchenette, 2 connecting bathrooms and a bedroom.
I find it somewhat old though. I had higher expectations actually.
A few of the side lamps in our room were not working!
N the bathtub dun look sparkling clean.
It is supposed to be a 5-star hotel but looks more like a 3.5 or 4-star to me.
But overall it was ok la, carpeted, spacious and we were on the highest floor (43rd floor) =)


Hotel.


Hotel view from our room window. Swimming pool looks pretty good.


The old KL prison.
Luckily now defunct, else I will be very scared to stay at Berjaya coz it is so near the prison.


Our hotel is connected to Berjaya Times Square Shopping Mall.
Super big mall with a indoor theme park.
Check out the roller coaster track. Scary.


Went shopping ard. Check out Etude House!
So Pink! I like!
But nothing to buy lar...


Xmas tree deco. Every mall sure got some Xmas tree one...


We went shopping at Sungei Wang as well and bought some dvds at a fantastic deal!
Ate chicken buffet dinner at Hertz American Chicken Buffet Restaurant.
Chicken tasted great! But everything else sucks..esp all the sides.

Highlight of the trip was our clubbing experience there!
We checked out Phuture at Zouk Malaysia..and oh boy, it was way better than Singapore's Zouk!

Their Phuture totally rocks and the DJ was fantastic!
Played lotsa super nice R&B songs.
They first warmed up with the older popular R&B songs,
which brought back may memories and were super nice to groove to.
Den they came full swing with the latest R&B songs!
Was so good, it got me and Baby all high on the music and dancing all night long
altho our feet were killing us!
We only had one whisky and one beer each.
Totally not high but totally high on the music.
Which is a very rare case for us in SG.
Here in SG we usually got to drink a considerable amount before we get all high and dance away.
Trust me, it is that good!
I was so wishing my gals Candy, LY and Yanz were there w us that night to enjoy this!
I know that they wud have loved it as much as I do.

Pics taken before we went to club.


Back from clubbing in the hotel lift.
We were super exhausted from all the non-stop dancing.
Havent clubbed like this in a long while.
I almost cudnt feel my legs.


Next day, we resumed shopping at Lot 10.
Haha, we bought clothes from Topshop and Topman.
Isnt it funny? Singapore got, dun wanna shop.
Go all the way to KL buy Topshop. Crap. Haha.
But seriously the fashion at the local shops sucks!

Lot 10. Xmas tree again.


Cool cafe with bed-like couches in the middle of the mall.
Reminds me of Bedsupper Club concept.


Cool Xmas sphere by Dell outside Pavillion shopping mall.
They really got those small white bits swirling inside the sphere like snow.


Pavillion shopping mall. Huge mall. Heard that it is pretty new.


Us taking a break in the shopping centre.
Legs really breaking!


Modesto pizza, takeaway.
Taste damn shiok.


At KLCC Suria at night.
Xmas tree again.


KLCC park just outside the shopping mall.


Petronas Twin Towers!
It really looks good. It is probably the nicest building in KL.
Nothing else comes close.
Looks rather ordinary in the day. But at night, it looks magnificent!


What's gg to Malaysia without eating some local cusine?
No coffeeshops for me pls.
So we went to Madam Kwans' - Truly Malaysian Cuisine restaurant.
Ate some otah, nasi lemak and another nasi-something.
Taste super good! Uber Shiok!
Had chendol for deeserts too. But dessert was a disappointment.
I had better chendol. Haha.


After dinner there was nothing really to do or shop.
So we went out of KLCC Suria, crossed over the road to find a good spot to take a pic of the twin towers!


I took such a great shot of Baby and the Twin Towers!


But the same cant be said of his photos.
His photography skills just sucks lar.
He took many shots of me and the twin towers, and this is the best he cud pull off.


We went to Ampang at night and walked along the long stretch of bars and pubs.
It is something like Mohammed Sultan back in the days when it was still alive.
Came to this place called Beach Hut which we heard is quite good.
It has the most number of patrons on a Sunday night,
and was the most packed club along the street.


There were lotsa Filipinos at the club though.
Hookers I presume.
All scantily-cladded, flirting, eyeing and trying to hook up with the ang mohs.
Some succeeded, some were turned down flat.
It was a damn good place to people-watch here.
N despite us just sitting there for over an hour with only one drink that night,
we really enjoyed ourselves watching people and gossiping about them. Haha.
Those Filipinos are really daring and blatant!
N they only want ang mohs. Men of other races like Malays or Indians are all rejected.
N they have really big boobs! Like at least a C to D Cup.
On top of that, they all wore push-ups to emphasize their assets even more.
Gosh...it's like shoving them in the ang mohs' faces.
I suspect their boobs are fake. How can ALL of them have such big boobs?
Most are thin, so confirm fake lor!
Only those plumpish ones...maybe real la. haha.

We went swimming at our hotel the next day after breakfast.
It was our 3rd and last day in KL.
Wanted to suntan, but we only managed to do so for awhile,
coz the sun disappeared into the clouds after that =(


Surprsingly, when we tried getting into the water for some dipping and swimming after tanning,
the waters were super cold!
It was so cold, both me and Baby were shivering like mad
and we took a long long time to get our whole body into the pool.
We had to go in by the steps in the pool, machiam like kids,
to slowly submerge ourselves into the pool.
N yes, we were making a lot of noise. Esp me, i was shrieking!
N my teeth were chattering. No joke.

KL Tower.
Taken from the swimming pool which was perched on the 14th floor.


Petronas Twin Towers.
Told you it doesnt look as nice in the day as at night.


We went for a bit more shopping after that at Chinatown, Petaling Street.
Baby managed to do some shopping there, and I managed to get gifts for my bro and dad.

Did some last minute shopping before we had our last meal in KL.
Had yummy food at Vivo!
Haha...it is actually a cafe/restaurant like Spagheddies offering pastas and pizzas.
Not too bad actually.
Pretty cheap too for a restaurant.

My Mango freeze thingy drink.


Bbay's chocolate marshmellow brownie drink.


Greedy pig!



Ok that's it.
Adios KL.
The shopping there was truly a disappointment.
We din buy much there.
The number of things me and baby bought can use just 2 hands to count lor.

Back in SG, Changi Airport,
Baby and I walked past Gucci and he suddenly spotted a wallet which looks like the one I wanted in Gucci's display window!
I looked closely and it certainly was!
N lo and behold!
It was the last new piece!
The lady said it was a very popular and fast selling item and most places do not have stock anymore.
I bought it immediately!
I was so so happie, and felt so so lucky to have came across it.
Phew!

I actually have it reserved at Gucci Paragon,
as the wallet has been out of stock and new shipment has not come in yet.
But so far, they have not called me back.
I waited and waited for almost a month already!
Feel really lucky to have bought the last new piece at the airport's Gucci.
If not I udnno how long more I have to wait!

But yet felt abit suay coz if i was departing, I did not have to pay tax.
I was arriving, so I had to pay the dumb 7% GST which works out to be almost $50! =(
Cudnt get it when I was departing coz my flight was 630am and the shops are all not opened yet.
Suay lor....
So pay the 7% gst lor =(
Haiz.

Nevertheless, im super happy with my new pink Gucci wallet!

Looks smthg lidat, except that the coin part behind the wallet is not a coin zipper but a coin pocket.



Yay! Im one happy girl.

New Year's coming!
Holiday again yay!

Merry Christmas y'all!

I wasnt experiencing much of a Xmas mood this year.
Maybe coz im getting old.
Or Xmas is becoming too commercialised and lost its original meaning.
Or the Xmas light-up all ard sucks and isnt bringing the mood in.

Nevertheless, I had a pretty nice Xmas.
1st of all, I was on leave for one week.
So it's great!
Baby and I went on a short trip to KL over the last weekend.
Shall post about that another time.

The week before Xmas, I went to the Singapore Island Country Club
with Baby and his family for a pre-Xmas celebration party kinda thing.
His dad is a member there so they organise such stuff for members and their families.
Mainly for the kids though. We just joined in the fun.
Well, I just went there to eat actually. Wahaha!
There was Xmas buffet food like turkey, honey baked ham, xmas pudding, logcake etc.
There was also Xmas light-up, fake snowing session, and a magician and ventriloquist on stage to entertain the kids.

Free reindeer hairband for all! I lost mine after that though coz dunno where I put. Haha.


Huge long logcake! Real one leh! I thot it was fake initially.
Den I went "Real one ah?!" damn loudly, and the baker smiled and nodded at me.
So paiseh >_<'
They cut it up after that and served everyone. I think can serve up to 200 ppl lor!


Us taking pics with the Xmas tree. I like this Xmas tree coz there's my fave motif: Snowflake, right on top.


Baby has been starting to pose in photos with the "victory" sign, ever since he came back from Japan.
His Japan pics had lotsa pics with him posing with the "victory" sign.
Dunno why suddenly so act cute and copy me.
Think it must be the mad Jap ppl there who always pose like this in pics and influenced him. Haha.


Xmas eve!
Celebrations with my besties!
We met in the afternoon for lunch and tea at Dempsey.
Had our lunch and dessert at PS Cafe,
followed by some yummy white wine at Wine Company.




Some of our food. Yumz.
Forgot to take pics of the desserts though coz I was too hungry and greedy!


I love this sausage-wrapped-with-bacon dish. Damn ex though.
This cost us $26, which is $13 per stick!



Took some pics at PS Cafe's entrance before we left for Round 2 at Wine Company.



We wish you a Merry Christmas!
N a happy new year!


Adjourned to Wine Company. Prob our fave place at Dempsey.
I love the white wine I chose. =P


A toast to all! Cheers! =)


It's feels so good to just chill out and relax with your frens on a rainy Xmas eve.


After our session at Dempsey, Baby came to pick me up to go to the Xmas party at his place.
Had lotsa yummy Xmas food again.
Turkey, pork knuckles, pork ribs, salad, dessert.
More wine and beer! Red wine, dessert wine, Heneiken.
I love to drink. Haha!
Din take any pics coz my cammie was upstairs and I was too lazy.

After dinner, the kids opened pressies under the Xmas tree.
I received 2 pressies too! =) Altho technically, present-buying was for the kids only.
Watched 'Madagascar 2' on DVD with the kids.
Love the show! Din managed to catch it in the cinema.
When the kids have gone to bed, we watched 'Mamma Mia' with the adults.

Went off to church on Xmas morn and had nice yummy Jap ala carte buffet lunch with my family and Baby at Hanabi (Odeon Towers).
So shiok!
Wah but im getting really fat with all the festive pigging out,
plus the pigging out we did at KL last weekend.
Shucks. I need to lose weight.

M.I.A update

Been missing in action from my blog for some time alry.
Too busy and too lazy.

Been tied down at work as usual,
only reaching home at almost 9pm everyday.
N i only have 3 hours to do my own stuff at home before i hit the bed.

So routined now.
Come home, eat dinner and watch tv (The Little Nyonya!), bathe,
surf net for a little while, talk to baby, sleep.

So little time, can only do so little things.

I've become very lazy to blog.
Even contemplated to stop blogging liao. Haha.
Everyday in office I write and write and think and draft and write.
Sometimes i feel that I can be an english teacher, sometimes a scriptwriter, sometimes can work in PR agency liao.

N no, the way i write at work is totally different from the way i write in my blog.
My blog writting super unpro..
For once I can write in broken singlish.

Anyway quick update of wat i have been up to.

Went to have some wine and finger food at The Wine Company at Dempsey with besties and Yanz NYJC council frens last last Sat.
Haha kinda my frens too lar, since we are all schoolmates.
Was super fun!
Good food, good wine, good chatting, good laughter.
Everyone loves the 2 selections of white wine i chose. Yay!

Taking a pic of Yanz thru the wine glass. Bo liao manz...


The food


Us.




Den we adjourned for a KTV session!
Sang from 10 pm - 2 am.
So shy lar, sing in front of ppl i not that close with.
But heck lar, enjoy can liao. Haha.



Fun fun! We shud do this again =)

Baby came back from Japan and bought me:
1. Big kitty plush toy
2. Small kitty plush toy - edition from Universal Studio
3. Small Kimono-dressed Mickey and Minnie plush keychain that can double up as a softtoy badge/pin - from Tokyo Disneyland
4. 2 Hello Kitty pens
5. Kanebo Kate eyeshadow palettes
6. Lots and lots of yummy japanese snacks!

LY and Yanz got pressies too!
He bought for them a small kitty plush toy and a pen each.
Thanks Baby!

From left to right: LY's, Yanz', mine


This is mine!


As for the big kitty plush toy,
Baby made me choose between these 2 kitties!
Tough choice lor!
I chose the one on the left coz the material is nicer to touch
and it is the more expensive one!
The other one is meant for his passenger
as one of his passengers asked if he cud help him buy back to sg first so that he can give it as a surprise gift to his newly wedded wife.
Cant believe the passenger trusted his taste so much n left it to him to choose n buy. Haha.


Next highlight of the week is that i bought a new bag!
A new Gucci bag during the Gucci sale! =)
I like the pink version of this bag, but it comes in gold too!
N the gold one is on sale coz it was from last season - the fall/winter collection.
The pink version is the newer current collection.
30% off! So happie lor!



Now just waiting for Gucci to call me about my pink wallet which i reserved.
Apparently it has been sold out and they have to ship it in again.
Not on sale though...current collection.
I love Gucci in pink! Nice =)
