Yours, Mine and Ours.
Hey everyone, I'm pretty tired right now, so I'll try to keep my entry today short and sweet. L0L! Alright, I didn't really manage to sleep last night and I'm still wondering why. I'm not too sure either, but I had to get up early to meet my secondary school friends and my ex-teacher.
Yeah, so I went to Chinese Garden at 10am to meet them. After that, we proceeded to the Jurong East Swimming Complex to have some fun and just relax. We spent about 2 hours there before going for lunch at a coffee shop nearby. After lunch, we went to Jurong Entertainment Centre to catch a movie called "Yours, Mine and Ours". It lasted around 1.5 hours and it was pretty funny. I enjoyed watching this comedy movie more than "V For Vendetta". So it was worth the money and I would recommend it to you guys to catch it. After the movie, we slacked around for a little while more until around 6pm before leaving for home. I reached home and slacked for awhile before watching the EPL match between Middlesbrough and Bolton. Middlesbrough eventually won with a scoreline of 4-3. Yeah, that match was really exciting because it went back and forth a couple of times. Anyway, I'm stopping here for today because I have to get some sleep. I'm still going out again tomorrow. L0L! Alright then, take care and good night! =] "There is no greater joy nor greater reward than to make a fundamental difference in someone's life." - Sister Mary Rose McGeady

X-Men Legends 2
Hey all, I decided to blog today once again because I've got some time to spare. So listen, I completed X-Men Legends 2 on my Xbox console already and it was pretty alright. I feel that the storyline is too long-winded. However, I managed to hold on and complete the entire game. L0L! Now I have 1 less game to play, fortunately, I haven't started playing "Sonic Heros" and "Shadow The Hedgehog".
Man, times flies real fast. It's already coming to the end of the month and I have yet to find a job. L0L! I still have so many places that I needed go and yet so little time. Damn. Oh, my big bro is currently finding students to give drums lessons to. It's $105 per month and once a week. The price includes the jamming studio fee as well. So if any of you guys are interested, do tell me yeah. Oh, I just watched "V For Vendetta" on my computer. Honestly, I'm happy I didn't go to the cinemas to catch it. It was a short movie, only an hour and 10 minutes and it was nowhere near excellent. It was just alright, I'm not even sure that I can say it's good. The storyline was boring, the ending wasn't nice at all and I was disappointed because I heard so many good comments about it. "Crash" is still the movie to die for. L0L! Anyway, I'm still waiting for X-3 to show in cinemas. That would probably be a movie that I'll catch on the day it opens in cinemas. Hopefully, it is a movie that will actually make me want to watch again. Oh well, that's all from me for today. Do take care and I'll cya guys soon. *Sighz* I still have to wake up early tomorrow morning to meet my secondary school classmates. Ciao~! =] "Rest satisfied with doing well, and leave others to talk of you as they please." - Pythagoras

Results Are Out!
Woah... I woke up like 7:30am in the morning when Gavin told me that the results were out. I was awake because I didn't manage to sleep last night. L0L! I came online and went to check my results out and I couldn't believe my eyes.
ANALOGUE ELECTRONICS: B+ COMPUTER PROGRAMMING: A+ CREATIVITY AND APPLIED THINKING SKILLS: A ELE & ELECT PRACTICAL SKILLS: B+ ELECTRICAL & ELECTRONICS DRAWINGS & CAD: AD ENGINEERING : A CREATIVE PROFESSION: B ENGINEERING MATHEMATICS 2: A+ SPORTS AND WELLNESS: PX Not only did I pass AEL, I managed to get a B+ for it. Isn't that amazing!? As for the other modules, I didn't think I would have done so well either. My GPA was 3.7 something and I was pleasantly surprised. Oh well... I still can't believe that I exceeded my expectations by that much!! Well, I'm going to stop here for now. Thanks to everyone that prayed for me and for all their well wishes! Take care and cya all soon~! =] "Stress is an ignorant state. It believes that everything is an emergency. Nothing is that important." - Natalie Goldberg

Results Are Coming!
Woah... I'm really nervous and anxious right now because my Year 1 Semester 2 results are coming out in like 11 and a half hours. I took a total of 7 modules in semester 2 and I know I already passed Sports and Wellness. Now, that leaves me with 6 modules. The only module that I am truly afraid of right now is AEL. I screwed up the last question of the paper badly. A costly careless mistake that might cause me to have to retake the module again next semester. My level of anxiety right now is similar to the time I took my 'O' level results. Man, I'm so paranoid right now that I can't think of what to type or what to do. The results will be in Npal at 9am and something tells me that I might be having a LONG night and probably a sleepless one as well. However, I know I did my best in everything else except that last question. If I'm unable to achieve my expectations, I'll be really disappointed. Guys, do pray for me yeah? All the best to my fellow classmates and everyone I know in NP who are getting their results tomorrow. Well, the verdict will be out tomorrow and I guess it is time for me to face the music. Cya all tomorrow.

Crash.
Hey guys, I actually blogged an entry a couple of days back. Unfortunately, while I was blogging, my computer hanged and I couldn't retrieved my data. I was too agitated and lazy to re-type everything I had wrote as it doesn't have the same feeling like when I first type it out. I'll try my best to recall and summarise everything I wrote that time.
Here goes, I was talking about life in Singapore after coming back from KL. It is really slack and all because I haven't found a job yet. I hope I can get a job and start working soon because life is getting pretty boring at home. I'm home most of the time now because I don't have funds to go around shopping or whatsoever. Anyway, I was hoping that somebody reading this can introduce a good job to me. I went to apply for a packing job this afternoon, but the chances of getting it is really slim. I also applied at a few employment agency, but I doubt that they'll be able to get be a job. My best job opportunity is this home based data entry job which I applied for. The pay is $1 per assignment done, which takes about 15 minutes. They'll only pay you after you have completed 1000 assignment, which means it is $1000. It has to be done within 60 days as well. I calculated that if I work 8 hours a day, I can complete the 1000 assignments in 30 days. That is why I want the job so badly, so I can earn at least $1000 before school reopens on the 22nd April. I'll still work after school reopens and try my best to earn $1000 by 60 days. Yeah, so pray that I can get this opportunity yeah? Anyway, last week on Monday, I went out with Gavin, Farhanah and Jeremiah to catch a movie titled "Date Movie". L0L! It is a really hilarious movie making a joke out of several other movies and putting them all together. Movies like "Bridget Jones Diary", "Meet The Fockers", "Kill Bill", "Hitch" and many others as well were featured in the movie. 2 of the 6 writers of "Scary Movie" actually wrote the storyline, so fans of "Scary Movie", this is a must watch. L0L! Then on Tuesday, I went to meet my Secondary school classmates. Hongyue, Justin, Kumar, Malbindar, Serene and I went to Lido to slack and have dinner. After that, we went to Clementi because Serene lost her wallet on Bus 14 and she wanted to ask the bus station if they received any lost and found items. Also, she went to make a police report at the Clementi Neighbourhood Police Post. After that, we bid farewell to both Kumar and Serene as they wanted to go home. As for Hongyue, Justin, Malbindar and myself, we went to chill at West Coast Park till about 11.30pm. Then we left for home and I reached home on the stroke of midnight. Oh well, from last Tuesday all the way to Sunday, I stayed at home. Yeah, 5 consecutive days at home, that's a personal best. L0L! I was basically slacking for those 5 days by watching the television, playing games, chatting on MSN and all the usual stuff that you can do at home. Yes, I did get bored by the 3rd day or so. Well, on Monday I finally left my house for some activities. I went to Boon Lay first with Dennis, Gavin and Jeremiah to apply for that packing job. Then, we went to meet Farhanah at Bugis to walk around and Farhanah wanted to look for a job as well. After that, we went to Marina Square to walk around as well and eat Swensen's ice-cream because they were having an offer. Finally we went to Suntec City for the food fair that they were having. It was the last day, so the prices were cheaper as well. L0L! We left for home at about 7pm because all of us wanted to catch "So You Think You Can Dance" show on channel 5 at 8:30pm. L0L! It is a dancing competition to find America's top dancer. Yeah, it was an alright show for me, but I still prefer American Idol. L0L! After the show, I chatted for MSN for awhile before watching the movie "Crash" on my laptop. I recommend it to everyone to watch it because it is a touching movie that will probably change your life after watching it. The movie is basically about racial discrimination and it is something that is very true in reality. We might not admit to the fact that it is, but all of us know the truth. It is one of thoes movies that you will never want to miss, so just go catch the movie and buy it as soon as it is out. 5 stars for it, hands down! Alright guys, enough of blogging from me today. Oh, I hope you guys like the new layout and design as well. I decided to keep it really simple to make my life easier. L0L! I like it alot though because it is simple yet interesting. Yeah, so I hope all of you guys like it as well! Yup, that's it from me today. I'll blog some time soon again and I hope that my computer won't hang while I'm doing so. L0L! Take care and cya guys soon~! =] "Life is tough, and if you have the ability to laugh at it you have the ability to enjoy it." - Salma Hayek

I'm Back!!!
Hey guys! I'm back from the KL trip with my friends and I had a wonderful time there. I feel that KL is a place that you should go with your friends rather than relatives. The shopping malls that we went to are mostly for teens, so having adults around weren't be a really fun thing. Alright, I'm going to tell you guys our activities day by day, so bear with me yeah! =]
===================== Saturday, 4th March 2006 Our plan was to meet at the bus stop opposite Kranji MRT station at 8pm to board a bus to JB. Dennis, Jeremiah and I shared a cab to the destination, but we were about 15 minutes late. Here's what happened. Dennis took a cab from his place to come and fetch me before fetching Jeremiah. Unfortunately, he had a hard time finding my place, so there was a delay. That was still alright until we went to fetch Jeremiah. We told the driver "Gombak Stadium" and I have no clue at all what the driver was thinking. He took a wrong turn and went all the way to Chua Chu Kang. When we said Gombak Stadium was beside Gombak MRT station, the driver said "I didn't know there is a stadium beside Gombak MRT station". Yeah, so we turned all the way back and fetched Jeremiah before proceeding on to meet Gavin at the bus stop opposite Kranji MRT station. The total amount we had to pay for the cab was $14. After meeting Gavin, the 4 of us took CW1 to JB. The customs took place fairly quickly, so we reached JB customs pretty fast. From JB customs, we proceeded to the JB train station to wait for our train to come. We reached the train station at 9:34pm and the train only leaves at 11:34pm, so we had 2 hours to kill. We used Gavin's phone to call Andrea and Farhanah to chit-chat as his phone was still using the Starhub network and not Malaysia's network. Yeah, soon the train came and we were off to KL. Sunday, 5th March 2006 On the train, there was absolutely nothing much that we could do. We went to the food carriage a couple of times to get some food. Most of us couldn't really sleep in the environment and atmosphere that we were in. We killed time by playing card games such as "Dai Di" and "Donkey". L0L! We listened to music and just tried getting minimal sleep as we needed energy for playing and shopping today. Anyway, it was simply a nightmare on the train as we were delayed 3 hours. We were supposed to reach KL train station at 6:25am, but we only managed to get there at around 9:25am. After alighting from the train, all of us agreed not to take a train back to Singapore. L0L! We found our way to the LRT station and took the LRT to Imbi, where our hotel was situated. From Imbi, it was just a 5 minute walk to our hotel building. We were finding a way to get from the shopping mall to the hotel's lobby reception. While finding it, we realised that the papers said we could only check-in at 3pm. Yeah, so we thought we were pretty screwed. We found our way to the hotel's lobby reception and fortunately, our room was available and we managed to check-in. The security at the Berjaya Times Square Hotel is really good. You have to insert your card before you could get to any of the hotel rooms above. Our room was on the 27th storey and the view was pretty alright. After checking into our hotel and making ourselves feel at home, we went to the 10th storey food court to have lunch. All of us ate their mixed vegetable rice and it was around the same price as Singapore. The good was that it was self-service, so we could pick what we wanted to eat and the amount of it. After lunch, we went to the indoor theme park called Cosmos. The rides were Fricking Scary!!! Hands Down! L0L! At least they were scary for me because I have that fear of heights and I can't seem to overcome it. *Sighz* Anyway, after playing in the theme park for a few hours, we went back to the hotel room to rest awhile as some of us were feeling dizzy. Anyway, we came back out after an hour or so to get some dinner. Jeremiah suggested that we had Sushi Buffet, so we went to find a restaurant and we took a really long time searching for one. L0L! We soon found a sushi restaurant in Sungei Wang and we had a feast. Unfortunately, the sushi were limited and the food wasn't all that good. That meal cost each of us RM31 and we realised that it wasn't really worthwhile after all. L0L! The conveyor belt was pretty cool as it was made as a railway track and the train would come carrying the sushi. L0L! Anyway, the buffet also offered steamboat and some cooked food. The steamboat wasn't really appetising, but the cooked food were pretty alright. I had more cooked food than sushi. L0L! Alright, so after the buffet dinner, we went back to Times Square to walk around the shopping mall. Body Glove was the most appealing shop to us. I managed to buy a t-shirt, Dennis bought a pair of jeans and Gavin got himself a pair of boardshorts and a t-shirt. Before going back to our hotel room, we went to the supermarket downstairs to get some stuff for breakfast for the next day. We managed to get some drinks, peanut butter and a loaf of bread. When we got back to the hotel room, most of us were already dead tired. The reason being we didn't get much sleep on the train ride here and we were busy playing and shopping for the entire day. L0L! So after taking a shower and relaxing for awhile, all of us went to sleep by 11:30pm. I didn't really managed to get much sleep because of the new environment I was in, but before I knew it, it was already early in the morning. Monday, 6th March 2006 Many of us were really tired, so we only woke up at around 11am. Our plan was to go swimming to refresh ourselves before going to Sungei Wang to shop. However, they were showing the Oscars on television, so we watched it till 12:30pm and ate bread at the same time for breakfast. We went down for a swim after the Oscars. The whether was really warm and the water was really cold!! L0L! I managed to take a leap of faith and jump into the cold water. We got bored of swimming after awhile, so we decided to see if they had a Sauna. We asked the security guard and he told us how to get there. We were there in no time and that was my first time in a Sauna. Woah! It was really HOT! in that thing and I was soaking with sweat when I came out of the Sauna. I think we were in there for around half an hour or so. There was a steam room beside the Sauna, so we decided to go into that one as well. Guess What? It was way worse than the Sauna! We got out of that steam room after 15 minutes as we could no longer take the heat. L0L! Yeah, so after all that refreshing and stuff. We proceeded back to our hotel room to take a shower and cool down before proceeding out to do some shopping. Before going to Sungei Wang, we came to this building where a whole load of pirated softwares were being sold. I managed to get 2 movies, "Brokeback Mountain" and "Munich", which cost me RM16. Dennis and Gavin also bought some movies as well. Then, we went to get some games. I managed to get 4 Xbox games for RM20. They were "Sonic Heros", "Shadow The Hedgehog", "Sonic Riders" and "Fight Night Round 3". I managed to get "Winning Eleven 9" for PC free as well because Gavin and Jeremiah bought enough PC games to get some free! L0L! When we were done purchasing movies and games, we went to Sungei Wang to do some shopping. There was a "Giant" Supermarket there, so we bought some finger food and sat down to eat them. That was sort of lunch and dinner combined. L0L! After that, we finally started walking around to do shopping. There were around 5 levels of shopping and we managed to cover everything until 9pm plus. I didn't manage to see anything I like, so I didn't buy anything at all from Sungei Wang, but Dennis and Jeremiah managed to get some stuff that they like. We saw a cafe there that sold Nasi Lemak, so we sat down and ate before proceeding back to our hotel room to rest. We took a shower and sat down to watch "The Tyra Banks Show". They were airing the first episode there and I'm wondering why it isn't shown here in Singapore. All of us were in bed at around 1am. Tuesday, 7th March 2006 We woke up at around 8:30am today to go for the Buffet Breakfast. It wasn't included in our package so we had to pay RM34.50 for it. Honestly, it wasn't all that good. We agreed that it was a pretty waste of our money. L0L! The food they offered were quite limited and I didn't really eat much as well. I was down and out after 2 plates. L0L! Yeah, so it wasn't really worth the money. After breakfast, we went up to our hotel rooms to get our things before proceeding to the Sauna, Steam Room and swimming pool again. L0L! This time, we spent more time in the steam room than in the sauna. We went back to our hotel room after that to take a shower and relax for awhile before going out again. This time, we took the LRT to the station near the KL Tower and walked there. We were sort of lost while walking and trying to find the KL Tower. Fortunately, we managed to get directions from some of the nearby hotel's staff. It cost us RM20 to go up to the observation deck to see the view. Jeremiah didn't want to go up as he wasn't willing to pay that amount of money. So he waited downstairs while Dennis, Gavin and I went on top. I wasn't blown away when I got to the top because it was pretty boring, but we still managed to take some photos up there. I also managed to get a key chain of the KL towers and it cost me RM12. Gavin also bought a postcard of KL to post back to Farhanah as she requested, which cost him RM2. L0L! When we were done with KL tower, we took a cab all the way to KLCC. It cost RM10, which we found out that it was rather expensive. Anyway, when we got to KLCC, we tried our luck getting tickets for the Petronas Twin Towers. It was already 2pm plus, so our chances of getting those tickets were very slim. It turned out that they have given all their tickets away already, so we didn't have the chance to go up to the skyline of the Petronas Twin Towers. We decided to walk around KLCC to see if there's anything of interest. We found the "New Zealand Ice Cream" parlour and each of us got an ice-cream. We continue to walk around and do some shopping for awhile. Anyway, we went to the post office after that to get the post card posted to Farhanah. It cost around RM0.30 if I'm not wrong. When we were done with the posting, we went to A&W to eat as it has been a long time since we ate A&W. The reason being Singapore no longer had anymore A&W outlets islandwide. We proceeded back to our hotel to take a shower and rest for awhile because we would be going to Petaling Street at night. Well, the Chinatown in KL is known as Petaling Street. Petaling Street is known for all the fake goods. At first, we wanted to take a cab to Petaling Street, but after looking at the traffic... We had second thoughts. We decided to take the LRT to the nearest station of Petaling Street and walk. It was a good decision as it wasn't that far away from our hotel. Petaling Street is similar to the Bugis Street in Singapore. I didn't manage to find anything that really attracted me though. We did however, manage to get Farhanah a pair of sunglasses and Jeremiah managed to get a pair of boardshorts and a sweater. We left Petaling Street around 10:30pm and went back to our hotel. We bought bread for breakfast again and managed to get some jam for free from the room service. Everyone was just tired after walking around the entire Petaling Street, so most of us went to sleep after our shower. After my shower, I watched television till about 1:00am before going to bed. I actually wanted to catch the Champions League match that they were showing, but my eyes were already closing. L0L! Wednesday, 8th March 2006 Time really flies when you are enjoying yourselves. Before we knew it, we realised that we would be going back to Singapore tomorrow. Today's plan was to go to Sunway Lagoon and Sunway Pyramid. We woke up around 9:30am and got ourselves ready before leaving the hotel room. We had bread and Nasi Lemak for breakfast. We had to take a cab to Sunway Lagoon as we didn't know any other form of transport to get there. All the cab drivers charge RM25 as a flat rate. They were unwilling to on their meter and charge based on that, so we had no choice but to pay RM25. The journey was long due to the fact that the traffic was bad. There were congestions and jam that held us up for quite some time. We finally reached Sunway Lagoon around noon time. We decided to go to the theme park first before going shopping. There were 3 options for Sunway Lagoon Theme Park. There is the "All Park", "Water Park" or "Dry Park". We decided to take the "Dry Park" option. Although we chose the "Dry Park" option, we were still able to go to some water attractions. We went to almost all of the attractions that we were allowed to go. I didn't go with the rest to the 360 degrees pirate ship because I was afraid! L0L! That's the only 1 that I didn't go with the rest. Honestly, I feel that the rides at Cosmo were worse than those at Sunway Lagoon. My personal favourite was those water rides that we could take. The best one was this sort of water roller coaster. It goes up this steep track till the top and decends at a rapid speed. It was simply awesome and incredible. So after spending a couple of hours in the theme park, we left to Sunway Pyramid Shopping Mall for "lunch" at KFC. I still prefer the KFC in Singapore and I'll try to avoid their KFC in future. L0L! After lunch, we went to Dunkin Donuts to get some donuts to bring back to our hotel. They had a wide variety of donuts for selection and I can only wish that Singapore opens some Dunkin Donuts outlets as well. After that, we went to walk around and shop with the limited funds that we were left with. Dennis managed to get a jacket and Gavin got a t-shirt. I didn't buy anything again because I didn't really see anything that attracted me with a pulling factor. L0L! We left Sunway Pyramid Shopping Mall at around 7:30pm because we didn't have much money left. We went to take a cab back to our hotel room again. This time, most of the cab drivers wanted us to pay RM30 or more to bring us back to our hotel. We were unwillingly to pay that amount of money. Fortunately I managed to bargain with the driver to get the price down to RM25. On the way back to the hotel, we decided to watch "Final Destination 3" at night. We went back to Times Square as Gavin needed to exchange money at the money changer first before going back to our room to get some stuff. We came out almost immediately when we got to the hotel room as Gavin needed to change his Body Glove T-shirt as it was too big. We went to book tickets for the movie as well. The plan was to watch the 9:40pm show, but there were only seats for the front row. The next available time slot was 11:50pm and there were only front row seats left again. Therefore we had no choice but to take the 12:00am show, which we managed to get fairly good seats. After buying the tickets, we went to the 5th storey to get my shoes. Unfortunately, the shop was already closed so I had no choice but to return the next day. Then, we went looking for a ATM machine as Jeremiah needed to withdraw some money. Times Square didn't have one that accepted his card, so we had to go across the road to a building called "Lot Yak" where we could use the ATM there. We went back to our hotel room to rest and take a shower before the movie. It was 10:00pm plus when we got back to our hotel room, so we had quite an amount of time to kill. After all of us took a shower, we sat down and played some card games till around 11:40pm. We rushed to the cinema after that as we still wanted to get some drinks and snacks before going in to catch the movie. L0L! We managed to get in on time and the movie has not started yet. Guess What? The counter double-sold one of our seats, so we had to go out and changed our tickets. When we got back into the cinema, the movie just started. It was a fricking disgusting movie that sent chills down my spine the entire duration of the show. I got so freaked out after the movie as well. The movie ended around 1:30am and when we got back to our hotel room, all of us went to bed almost immediately. We knew we had to wake up early tomorrow as well to do some last minute shopping and do our packing before checking out of the hotel. Thursday, 9th March 2006 Today was the day we would be departing KL and going back home to Singapore. We woke up early around 8:30am to bathe and have our breakfast. We left our hotel room 11:00am to do some last minute shopping. First, we went to Lok Yat as there were some shops there we saw yesterday night that were of interest. I managed to get my iPod Nano's Leather Casing at a rather expensive price of RM119. We went back to Times Square as I wanted to get my shoes, but I didn't manage to get my shoes as the shop wasn't open yet. I thought that it was closed on Thursdays and I got disappointed. L0L! We went to the 6th storey of the building to explore as that was the final storey that we had not explore yet. None of us bought anything this time, but we went to the arcade to have some fun that nearly caused us to have a late check-out. L0L! We managed to rush and check-out exactly at 1pm. The check-out counter was having some problems with the computer so it delayed us for around 20 minutes, but we didn't have to pay extra. We put our things in the lobby, so that we could continue shopping. First, Gavin bought his earphones. Then, I went back to get my shoes and luckily, this time it was open and that shoe was the last pair on sales. It cost me RM99, but I felt that it was a good buy nonetheless. Next, we went back to the 6th storey again as some of the shops were not opened earlier. After that, we went to get Jeremiah's shock pen and some other stuff. We booked the coach that was leaving from Berjaya Times Square all the way back to Singapore a few days back. The coach was leaving at 3pm that day and at 2:20pm, we just finished shopping. We decided to go back to the Nasi Padang store on the 10th storey to have lunch before leaving KL as it was a 6 hour ride back to Singapore. We ate finished at about 2:40pm and we were rushing to the "Baoz" shop to get some baos for the trip back home. Time was against us and at 2:50pm we rushed to 7-11 to get some drinks. We made it just in time for the coach before it left. L0L! Thank goodness. All that rushing really paid off as we entered into an incredible 5-stars coach. L0L! There were TVs in front of every seats that had mp3s and good quality videos. The seats were similar to those of an airplane and it can actually recline. There were even foot rest and the space for each seat was really wide. It was just a wonderful coach to be on. Anyway, after 3 hours, we stopped at a pitstop for half an hour to rest and stock up. I managed to get some tidbits for my family and relatives, so it was all good. We took off again and reached Malaysia's customs at around 8:00pm and we were back in Singapore in no time at all. After the customs in Singapore, the driver fetched us to Taman Jurong. Dennis's dad drove him home while Jeremiah and I took Gavin's dad van home. I reached home at around 9pm and I was dead tired by that time. I cleaned and washed my stuff before taking a long needed shower. ===================== Yeah, so that pretty much sums up my trip in KL! Woah, that must have been the longest entry I have ever written man. I think if you are capable of reading it up to here, you're really patient. L0L! Anyway, I had lots of fun in KL with my friends and we might be going there again some time soon. L0L! Anyway, I spent around SG$300 and it isn't really that much as I thought I would spend. Oh well, perharps I might spend more the next time round. Anyway, have you heard Chris Brown's "Run It" before? Guess What? I heard that 10 times when I was in KL and I'm sick of it. I didn't even like it the first time I listened to it. L0L! Oh well, I better end my longest ever entry here or people might start complaining. This entire entry actually took me the whole day to complete it as I was doing some other stuff in between it. L0L! Haha, yeah, so I'll cya guys again soon ya? Take care and god bless~! =] "Every time you state what you want or believe, you're the first to hear it. It's a message to both you and others about what you think is possible.

KL Trip
Hey guys! I'll be leaving for Kuala Lumpur in the evening tonight. I'm pretty excited because I'll be going with my 3 other friends and we're staying in a really good and well-known hotel. Yeah, we'll be living in the Brooklyn Suite of the Berjaya Times Square Hotel. I can't wait to see the suite because from the website, it simply looks awesome. There's a living room, dining room and 2 bedrooms. Yeah, the coolest thing is that the usual price is RM600/night and we managed to get it at a rate of RM120/night. Dennis's uncle is a member of times square so we could get such a good price. We'll be checking in on Sunday and leaving on Thursday, so that's 5 days of fun!
I'm leaving tonight because it is going to take hours to reach KL. The 4 of us will be taking a bus from Kranji Interchange to Johor Bahru Customs. The bus ride will take about an hour if all goes smoothly. From JB Customs, we'll walk to the JB train station. Our train leaves at 11:34pm and reaches KL train station at 6:25am. That's nearly 7 fricking hours. L0L! Yeah, so from the KL train station to Berjaya Times Square Hotel, it will probably take around 10 minutes or so. Yup, that means we'll reach the hotel latest by 7am! L0L! That's like so early and I'm not sure if we'll be able to check-in yet because we are supposed to check-in only at 12pm, so we'll have to see how it goes. Oh well, I'm excited and I've done most of my packing already. I bet that it's going to be a wonderful trip and I just can't wait to step foot there. L0L! Let's just hope I don't get disappointed like I did during the China Trip! L0L! Alright guys, I'm going to stop here for today. I promise to tell you more about my trip when I'm back ok? Cya all real soon~! =] "Quarrel not at all. No man resolved to make the most of himself can spare time for personal contention." - Abraham Lincoln |
