Urban Escape Part I

Finally got the time to post my KL trip here after 13 days of delay.After sending the software to William,I managed to help him reduce his photos from 165 MB to 25 MB.Do you know how frustrating it was when you see how slow my transfer speed was all because of William opening up the B*t T*****t program.Bloody hell.

As usual,I'll just post everything in 3 parts.First of all,let us start with day 1.

The first day started off with only William,Kelvin Lee and me.Ming Keat had to join us later because of his API course.Anyway,without Ming Keat around,the whole journey was so peaceful!Woohoo!!!!

We almost can't make it to KL because we can't get an early ticket to KL.Almost all the bus journey to KL start from 9am,which I don't think we can really wait that long.For your information,we reached Johor at about 6.30am.

We eventually got 3 tickets to KL at 7.30am from a faraway ticketing booth,but the seller cheated RM$15 from us.That was actually my mistake.I should have just argue with him for the exact change.

It took us 4.5 hours to reach KL,with only 1 stop for our toilet break.The air over there was so polluted compare to Malacca.Buses were everywhere and the only clean transport will be the LRT,which was like our MRT in Singapore.

After going round the area under the hot sun and with lots of direction guidance from the people,we finally find our hotel which was quite hideous in my opinion.Since we reached there at about 1pm and the book in timing starts from 2pm,we decided to take a little walk in Berjaya Time Square.

It took us quite a big effort for us to get the information from the LRT staff.I can see how pissed off the female staff was when we keep asking her the place that we wanted to go(She repeated Imbi for almost 10 times,if I were to calculate).That was the problem we'll face when we did not learn Malay language.

The LRT was so crowded compared to the previous ride.Most of them were going to the same place as us:The Berjaya Time Square.Hmm...I thought according to the Internet,Berjaya Time Square was nothing but a white elephant?Wikipedia do publish inaccurate details.

So high,one fatal mistake and you might fall.

I'm hungry,let us find food shall we?

We settled in this decent looking Japanese restaurant where they sell tepanyaki meal.Kelvin wants to try it,and so are we.

Kelvin ordered a salmon tepanyaki set.Look at the fish-like feature of the salmon.

I ordered a beef teriyaki set.Wah,the bean sprout like no need money like that.

William ordered beef noodle,which I think the noodle doesn't look Jap enough.

Chawanmushi,another dish that can improve your complexion.Hah.

Fried Gyoza,or should I said chinese dumplings?

How about an ice kachang to fight the heat?It really looks kachang with peanuts at the side.

The food is reasonably okay.While enjoying our food,we also get to see all the Xiao Mei Mei and Xiao Di Di roaming around this area.Looking at them simply reminds me of Singapore,except that their dressing is slightly more outrageous than us.

There's an event going on in the Time Square.Dance Space...sounds interesting.

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
One of the dance group.Their dance is just so boring!I prefer the kids category more than this.

Dancing to Salsa.Bring it on!

There's an indoor amusement park over there.I wonder is it safe for us to take a roller coaster ride?

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
See how the roller coaster goes!Ahhhhhh!!!!!

I've lost count of how many storeys there are in this shopping centre.After exploring the whole place,we can conclude that the IT level was totally condemned.It was like walking in a ghost town.

We bought some snacks and drinks before we book in to our hotel.Buying mineral water is a MUST,especially for a weak person like me.

This is the King size bed that me and William shared.Please don't think elsewhere okay?We are not a couple.

The TV's so small,we can't see shit.


Our hotel location is somewhere near to Chinatown,which gives us some advantage in going there easily.

Let's not waste time and go to Chinatown for dinner and shopping shall we?

This place is so full of foreign tourist!

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
The place was not actually crowded when we went there around 7.30pm.The ideal hours will be around 8pm and the stall will be closed around 10pm.

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
It's raining,so we had to seek shelter.

Chinatown is so full of "friendly" goods where you can use your bargaining skills.The stallholders there are very friendly too,simply because you are their source of income.

Me: Wah...This one nice sia!
Kelvin: Hmm...This one also buey pai.

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Ooi!Shoot what shoot?


Kelvin wanted to buy a new watch,so we shop from store to store to look for a better deal.Since all watches that we'd seen are fake,so William assume that the cost price may only be around RM$30.

We went to one of the store and the owner offered us RM$200 for the Tag Heuer!Of course we rejected it straightaway.Who on earth will deal with such pricing?When the owner asked us how much do we think it cost,nobody answered him.

He asked again,but there's still no reply.

He looked like he's getting impatient,so I anyhow hamtam a pricing for him: RM$70!

His face changed.The oh-so-friendly look turned hostile immediately.He closed his briefcase and told us to see some not so nice watches which offers RM$50.

Wah lao eh!That was so realistic loh!What I don't understand is why my 2 fellow brothers don't want to voice out their pricing.Must wait for me to say out meh?Zzzzzz!!!!

Knowing that RM$70 offer won't work,we went to another stall to try our luck.After a few rounds of bargain,we managed to get the watch for RM$100.

Actually hor,if you know Malay or Cantonese,you'll be able to get it cheaper.That's what I think.

I don't see any of my Onitsuka Tiger over here.The only shoes available are Adidas,Puma and Adidas.Perhaps only Thailand can satisfied my "wants".

Okay enough of shopping,let's go on for more food!

We had Zi Char for dinner.From left: Kailan(Which I don't eat),Claypot Tofu(Which I eat) and vegetable soup(so healthy it's tasteless).

The 3 camwhores strike again!

We had herbal jelly for dessert.The shop looks small,but the jelly kicks ass!

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
The sugar water(not in the picture) is there to add in to your jelly with preference to your own taste.You cannot simply eat without it,unless you're super health conscious.

Kelvin for the third time pose with his product.This time with his new toy:A Tag Heuer.

William smiles with the jelly.

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Huh?I'm on camera?!

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Let Kelvin show you how good this herbal jelly is.

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
*Slurp*

"It's so delicious,"says Kelvin.

Once again,another camwhore shot.

Happy with everything,we went back hotel to rest.

End of Part 1
