THE WEEKEND!
This post had been drafted since 27th Dec '07. I didn't really had time to complete the account on my holiday. My apologies. Enjoy... Went to KL... followed by Port Dickson on the 21st Dec and back on the 24. Stepped out ard 11am and bloody reached the KL hotel at 10pm! Thx to waiting few hours for the agent at JB(nothing to do with our trip...sigh). Not forgetting some hour gone circling the town cause we missed the turn to our hotel. Sheesh! I was struggling with the map & looking at the road signs while my dad drives...(its frigin dark what do you expect?) Such a Stressful event! And the people at the backseat(mom & bro) just dunno how to shut their mouths... making me more frustrated on top of the stress. Finally saw a group of nice peeps and decided to ask them the route. What a relieve when we finally checked into Crown Princess Hotel! Well the shit is we have to pay xtras plus2 for a godamn exec room with a king size bed for 2 nights compared if we were to booked online EARLIER(thanks to my indecisive parents!). But I was happy we got a nice spaceous, non-"dirty" looking room. Had to order another xtra bedding for betta comfort.. RM80? And was so hungry and since it was late, my dad ordered a meal tru room service. RM60 for a so-so lamb soup and fried rice! RIP OFF! Erm ok atleast our tummies were filled before we can snore off!
The next morning well we had to add another 60 to the bill for breakfast 'cause the 4breakfast coupon were meant for 2 for 2 days. Wth! I knew it I should've just bloody booked e hotel earlier.. if it weren't waiting for my parents to finally hand me over their credit digits I would've done it! Anyways... we took a cab to KLCC who the cabby tried to con us but thanks to my past experience with a m'sia cab I managed to make him realise he's not dealing with stupid, lost tourists. well i got pissed with my parents for being 'too nice' for scam opportunists and went off first. i cooled down the moment i stepped in. SHOPPING HAVEN! GOt my Carlo Rino bag and leather shoes for 50% off! Hail the Malaysia Mega Sale.
After me and my bro got our stuffs...we took the LRT to Pasar Seni stop and walked to Petaling St(chinatown). My parents were the ones shopping for their stuff there. not really my bro's and my kinda thing... partly becoz we got the stares. but when I came across a high quality imitation Marc Jacobs bag, I fell in love widdit. its only 200 plus($1000plus for original according to the salesman) and its proven leather coz they lit it up on fire. I felt like im watching a magic show. My mom shook her head when i 'begged' her to buy me that coz i spent most of my money at KLCC. so i got off without dat bag while she was busy bargaining a gucci bag. She got me a guess bag at the last shop which was originally 100 and bargained it for 50. Whoa i tell ya shes a bargain queen. I can never bargain coz im bad at it... I bargained 15 for a 20 bux belt for my dad... and while i was proud at my 'success', my mom & dad nagged at how stupid i am coz my mom cld haf gotten real deal. wadeva. haa.. what can i say? im juz too nice... heeex!
After dinner somewhere nearby and do some provision shopping we hopped in the cab back to the hotel ard 6pm. My mom and me decided to pay a visit to the Martha Tilaar spa in the hotel but too bad it was fully booked. There goes my massage. We rested in the hotel room and decided to go out again for a walk ard 8pm. I was shocked that most shops are closed! its damn early... no night life dere! we crossed over the hotel when the receptionist told us the shops ard here closes at 8pm and only the pizza hut across opens til 10pm. we decided to have supper there instead.
Next morning breakfast was nice. Apart from that the waiter there asked for my number. Surprise, surprise! i was so shocked that i asked him whether he wants my number or my mom's! I feel stupid now ok. It was funny looking back though. We made our way out of KL. Almost got lost. Finally hit the highway... Mom thought of dropping by Melacca. I was against the idea coz we've no Malacca map and will sure to get lost. So the next option was Port Dickson.
What a relieved when we finally reached there. I was overwhelmed by the sight of the sea and beach. Too bad it was scorching hot so we didnt get to picnic there. There was a sort of flea market there. We shopped there for hours and the heat was unbearable. My dad was showered with perspiration as it keeps running down from his forehead... that he tied his handkerchief around his neck. Im sure i can wring it and gallons of liquids will fall. Eew.
We hit the highway again. It was the longest distance in years dat ive been in. i cld see the nice full moonlit. shit happened at tuas checkpoint though. I put in the
Autopass in the cash card slot. Bloody hell it was rejected and i've no idea abt the autopass is meant for Malaysia car. My parents were unaware i took that card. I mean i found it in the stack of cards and juz grabbed it. what do u expect me to do? So i got thousand and one questions from the ICA officer. Later on found out it belonged to my sis' fren who's a Malaysian and she used it as a cashcard as its expired. Stupid arse made us went through trouble. Got my Mom & Dad worked up coz their careers could be jeopardized. Fortunately my mom explained everything and the officer let us off. We reached home and had a long discussion so i slept around 4am. Luckily I was still on leave geez.
(PS: People im sorry if this lenght is unbearable to read. I cant help being detailed. Morever my main purpose is to keep a personal record. Thank you very muchie!) Well
