Day 2

Woke up at 930am for breakfast at the hotel. I don't really dig hotel breakfasts 'cos its always the same ol' same ol'. Somehow Sam loves it. I think its due to the fact that at the place where they put her up, she eats biscuits n eggs for breakfast, cup noodles n eggs for lunch, and cup noodles n eggs for dinner. Nothing spectacular to talk about the breakfast. Only thing I noted was that the staff were super lazy. They rather stand around and chit chat with one another instead of serving the guests.

So after breakfast was my favourite post-bfast nap. Woke up again and left the hotel at noon for lunch. Had kopi at the Hometown Coffee downstairs. Perhaps you have heard of Oldtown Coffee. I guess its a rivalry thing like our Ya Kun vs Toast Box. Dunno whats up also la, in KL they like to serve white coffee which is actually not white.

We proceeded to walk around the Curve, which is the shopping mall below my hotel. Then we took a cab to 1 Utama, yet another shopping centre. From there we took a cab to Pavilion which is in the KL city centre vicinity. The cab ride cost 20rm excluding a 1rm toll because we had to take the highway. Shows how far I stayed from KLCC. Pavilion was nice. I think our Paragon is trying to copy that but WC strongly denies it. Then we walked around the area and stumbled at a LRT station. We wanted to go Sungei Wang. I had a feeling it should be within walking distance from Pavilion but Sam didn't think so. I thought the town planners of KL will have planned their shopping area just like our Orchard Road. So probably Pavilion to Sungei Wang should be like walking from Paragon to Far East, at least thats what I imagined. Sam totally thinks that KL doesn't have proper town planning and all. She doubted that they have a URA in Malaysia.



the two sides of Pavilion's main entrace. do check back this post after Paragon's facelift is done.

So here's the joke of the day. Sam went to ask the LRT information counter dude how to get to Sungei Wang by train - which station to alight at. The dude had a bewildered look on his face. I knew something was amiss. He was confirm amm-cheoing when he pointed at the building right behind us, prob about 10 metres away from where we were standing. We both burst out laughing at our stupidity.

Sungei Wang wasn't that spectacular. There were just shops n shops n it was crowded. We left shortly and walked to Times Square. See, KL does have town planning. The shopping area is indeed like that of Orchard Rd, just like what I pictured in my mind. Times Square was where I stayed the other time when I went up to KL with my study buddies. We walked around abit, hurriedly ate dinner there, instead of searching for the famous ampang yong tau foo, cos it was almost 7pm and getting dark and KL really seem dangerous.


hurriedly trying to finish my Oldtown White Coffee and Nasi Lemak


I think Sam was having a headache or sth. Dunno simi pose lai eh.

We got back to our hotel at about 9 and went to buy tickets for a movie at Cineleisure Damansara. It is owned by Cathay by the way. Just like our Orchard Cineleisure. I wonder who copied who. We caught Wall.E at 1130pm. The movie was really good, you guys should go watch it too. There's now a soft-toy of Wall.E in my car and Sam has a soft-toy of Eve. They are how cute la.


this scene is so sweet

Stay tuned for Day 3..
