Insignificance

Sunday, June 11

After much downloading and uploading which was done at the local cybercafe, finally I could graphically post an entry on the trip in May. These are a few pictures I took in KL owing credits to Sullivan and Jeffrey for their digicam and cameraphone. Thanks guys, owe u one.

Once jeff and I landed 2 hours earlier on the Low Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT) and having to wait for kim soon and kelvin on their next flight, we took a 20 mins bus ride to KLIA and had our lunch at KFC just to kill time and literally had my first step in the airport.

my initial expression was, "woohhhhooww... dude".

We took a few turns around the city later and found our refuge here near the Bukit Bintang area at a place called Comfort Inn. Actually by regulations, we were exceeding their "quota" for persons being allowed in the room for 3 but the staffs there were nice enough to bend the rules for us, not to mention they were pretty friendly and we managed to chat up a few laughs with the counter staffs during our stay.

Comfort Inn, main entrance door and how it looked from outside. Thumbs up for the staffs!

Bukit Bintang area where we stayed, with stalls that never show prices for their foods. blood suckers!

For the consecutive days ahead, we monorail-ed to Mid Valley, Berjaya Times Square, KLCC just to name a few. Snapped a few shots here and there.

This puts to shame Shopping Complexes in Kuching, BIG TIME.

like I said, BIG TIME.

Even Jackie Chan prefers to open a fitness club in Mid Valley. Hey wait, Jackie Chan owns a fitness club!?!

u have no idea how bad my muscle spasms were after I saw the skin.

Take em' for a test drive. In Kuching, we can't.

We walked pass this standing banner at Suria KLCC by the toilet entry which states "RM2.00 per entry". Curious as a cat, me and Dennis paid the amount and was given a wrapped small scented paper wet towel beforehand, so we got in. Gosh even the word "toilet" seems inappropriate to be used at this point. I shall now address it by "the loo". The sink was operated by an automatic sensor to turn it on and off, not the common pass and flow type, u have to pass through a sensor that says "on" to actually turn it on, likewise for "off". For liquid soap, the cylindrical top serves this purpose, just push the button.

now how the hell do I turn it on?

The fun doesn't just end there, there's actually branded talcum powder, facial cleanser, hand lotion, vitamin E moisturising spray and paper towels provided. More amazingly, it's in a men's loo. I guess it's custom made for the modern metrosexual man afterall. All that for RM2.00.

cleanse first or moisturize?

Took off on the 15th to Genting on a bus and took the skyway ride up to Genting. It was a little daunting at first when we were "lift-off" from the platform onto the cable line going up, too bad one of our friend couldn't bare the view of heights and had his eyes shut tight through the journey up. Blame phobia.
