I GET TEN THOUSAND HUGS

Before coming back to London, we made a short food trip to KL. We took a flight in to save us the hassle of sitting on a coach for a mind numbing number of hours. By the time we reached the KL airport we were starving but we still had to get a cab to drop us at our hotel.

We were staying at The Westin but because we were early, our suite wasn't ready yet. The service was pretty good though, they even offered us an alternative room to freshen up first. So we washed up, the girls touched up their make up, Daren messed up the bed, we raided the fridge for drinks, then we left our luggage there and were assured by the service staff that they would transfer it to our room once our room was ready.

So we set off in search of lunch, a very specific lunch actually. We cabbed to KLCC because Pam insisted we had to have Madam Kwan's (she read online that they have superb nasi lemak)


I went with Assam Laksa though. Check out how intense Pam looks.


Hunger satisfied, we decided to explore the mall a little bit.


Got bored soon after and they decided we should go check out the view of the petronas twin towers. As you can see from the following pictures, I am like "omg, i have to walk?!?! really? do we have to go?" and Daren is even worse, he is literally hiding/walking in the shadow of Pam so as to avoid the glare of the sun. WIN.


I soon cheered up though, picture perfect photo opportunity and all! HAHA. These are the pictures taken by Daren....


And these are the ones taken by me... so much nicer right? Thick skinned. HEEHEE :)
Daren / Jia / Me


pam basking in the sun, daren & i.


cabbed back to the hotel to rest for a bit (met a super nice taxi uncle who told us that it was actually only a 5 min walk away, and who ended up being a vital part of our kl trip!) before we headed out again.

a cafe for fresh coconuts, iced coffee and turkish ice creams. and then because we were getting bored already, we decided to take neo-prints, despite the protests from the boy.


And then we spent like 2 hours in the arcade, playing everything from bishi bashi, daytona, basketball, soccer, gun games, drum games etc etc... jia and i even made the top score list for one of the music rockband style games :)


Finally, it was about time to have dinner. Joy. The taxi uncle (as earlier mentioned) gave us directions to Jalan Alor which is supposedly a food street so that's where we went.


We ordered so much: clams, stingrays, hokkien mee, multiple plates of wanton mee, prawns, kang kong etc etc, and we finished most of it too. In fact, we finished everything except for the black sauce hokkien mee which we thought wasn't as yummy as Singapore's?




Dinner was followed by shisha at a super chill cafe.


Pam Liu, 21, Singaporean, Queen of Shisha.
Be forewarned: Will chide anyone who's not "smoking properly"


Pam & Jia trying to do a "couple shot"




daren & i


Back to our suite... the living room & dining room.


daren & my room and jia & pam's room...


our kitchen, wine, and the remote that electronically lifts and shuts the blinds giving us total darkness for a perfect sleep!


and then Pam insisted we meet back in the living room after showers to play spin-the-KNIFE-truth-or-dare! :/


-

breakfast at food republic the next day.. ban mian but malaysian style: dry, spicy, yummy.


our newly made taxi uncle friend picked us up and brought us to sunway lagoon


first attraction was the horror park which i actually suggested but when i found out it wasn't so much a ride as it was a walk-through haunted house, i chickened out.. they actually dragged me in at first but i screamed and screamed and scratched and stood by the entrance refusing to move so they let me out. i'm such a chicken omg :/


water ride, daren and i had super unlucky seats so we were literally jumping from seat to seat as the boat moved so that we wouldn't get drenched haha..




jia & pam


almost all the rollercoasters were closed, we felt so cheated!




we took the viking, and it literally swings 360degrees (apparently the only one in the world that goes 360degrees), insane, at one point it just held us upside down for what felt like the longest time and i thought i was going to die. came down feeling like my stomach had been turned inside out.


stopped to rest/eat at the only air conditioned restaurant we found inside the park. half way through our meal (daren was fast asleep, only the girls were eating) it started raining cats and dogs so we ended up ordering more food and playing 20 questions, which is a super funny game!

when the rain cleared, the sun came back stronger than before!


pam, jia and i trying our hand at archery (paint ball gun style)


the boy and i


and then we wanted to do ATV, so they made us put on these completely unglamorous hair nets (not to mention sweaty disgusting elbow guards)... jia and pam refuse to show their faces, but anyway here we are looking rather hideous.


daren, pam and jia on their ATV bikes :) this ATV adventure wasn't half as fun as the time Daren and I rode on the long beach, wasn't as fast or as scenic but all the same it was fun :)


and then we went go-karting, as you can see it was always three of their go karts really close and me lagging somewhere behind :(


the retards actually called me "an obstacle in the course" lol ahem pam and daren!


omg i look so messy and my hair is all over the place and i have no make up on and i look disgustingly chubby and sweaty and disheveled :/




jia & pam in action on the flying fox. i was trying to take photos/videos of them from the bridge so i was the last to go, even daren went before me... so basically i was super duper scared and i almost didn't want to do it (i'm really not the most outdoorsy adventurous person on earth) but the dude in charge was like go for it and he PUSHED ME OFF so I had no choice and even though I was scared like almost the whole way down (i kept thinking i was going to crash) i have to admit it was actually really fun and my favourite activity/ride of the day! so there i am looking (disgusting but) proud of myself for conquering it :)


okay there's too many pictures to upload so i'm splitting this food trip to KL into two entries :) so i guess if you learnt anything about me from this post, it's that I'm a complete chicken heart huh :( but really, i'm not ALWAYS a chicken. it's really the anticipation that kills me. i tend to have an over-imaginative mind and an overreactive heart ♥
