Genting/KL Day 1

All it took for a long overdue decision and an impromtu action, we ended up on a coach bounded up north. It's my (n)th trip there since 2005, and the third for this year. That's just for Genting; a total of five entries have been made into Malaysia. Sounds boring yea? Quite not if you're traveling with different pals each time.

I took train all the way to AMK for coach boarding. As in the receipt, we were entitled for luxury coaches for both ways because we've upgraded our ride. A 'CEO platinum cruiser' by WTS travel has motorised aircraft seatings and a personal entertainment system. Quite a nice thingy to have for an especially long and winding journey.

For this entire trip, we ate, slept, shopped, ate, and again and again, till I found some gain. Trust me it's true.

When approaching the highway towards Pahang at KL, a slight jam slowed us down. But nonetheless we still arrived earlier than stated and, most importantly, safely. Henceforth we became the first 20 in the check-in queue, which the worst scenario could be a wait of at least 3 hours. While waiting, we had a buffet lunch at Coffee Terrace where they featured the Singapore Food Promotion, with two giant Merlion statue guarding the entrance. I felt a gust of familiar hospitality as if at home, so we entered. I would say the food is better than those at our local hawker centers! But not all though.

After check in, we visited Ripley's Believe it or not museum. Very interesting exhibits like the one in Hong Hong's The Peak. Rm18 per adult, considered cheap for a musuem visit. 3 hours were spent there, sky has turned dark. It wasn't cold until night falls.

That's it for the first day! Cos' there wasn't really much things to do within Genting itself. Looking forward to day 2's KL trip! Just before movie, we went Sushi King, where I had a share of their Unagi Fest! And after the movie, with nothing else to do, we sat at a cafe holding on to my mocha and some danish. Sip by sip in the midst of the chilly and foggy air. Cool. Just that it didn't snow.

This is the first movie we had - On His Majesty's Secret Service (大内密探灵灵狗). It has a hilarious setting for almost all parts of the approximately 100mins show. The entire audience (full occupancy everyday!) giggled and laughed as if everybody poked one another non-stop. Everything was damn funny! The best part was that a 'premium' movie ticket cost only RM15 (approx S$6), and it comes with a box of pop corn, a packet of chips and a regular drink. For RM1 more, we will get to use the OSIM massage chair for an all-new movie experience! Too bad only 10 chairs are available each time. We gotta try all movies till we get one! Maybe that's the reason why we watch one movie a day. lol.

Quoted Yahoo Movies: For generations, the secret service has always been responsible for protecting the emperor, where 12 agents are assigned to bodyguard duty. Among the current group, Zero Zero Dog (Louis Koo) is considered to be the weakest as he shows no interest in the martial arts and spends his time studying technology and coming up with scientific inventions. When Dog uncovers an evil plot to kill the emperor by the chief eunuch, Cao Yan Chui (Fan Siu Wong), he decides to eliminate the enemy himself.

It was unfortunate that Singapore doesn't show this film. Even if it does, it'd be translated into Mandarin. What a disappointment.

Finally, blogger stops that shit - pictures uploaded now.

Day 2 includes a visit to KL city center. First stop was Times Square, then followed by the shopping malls around Bt Bintang like Lot 10 and Sungei Wang.

A Wild Heart

First thing first before I forget: Happy birthday, Singapore!

I'm getting rather wilder these few years as I try my best to travel to many places. More and more targets are already on my mind, and just deciding where to go first. Maybe 20 more years, after saving up from more disposable income, I'd want to give Japan and Europe a visit each. Definitely.

Watch this video and its different parts. The more I watch, the more I love the beautiful scenery! Look at the Mt Fuji. The Fuji River. Osaka, and then Kyoto. All they begin from Tokyo.




OMG. I'm getting in love with Japan... The Sapporo Ramen. Onsen. Best of all, the Shinkasen (Bullet Trains)! Other than that, I want to see the Roman Catholic Church, the Trevi fountain and the Colosseum in Rome, the gondolas on the venice waterways, the Empire State building and the midtown manhattan junction, the railway market in Bangkok, the body of Mr HCM in Hanoi, the Washington Monument, a possible cross-country drive from Perth to Sydney Opera House; and even Pyongyang to see how the 'forbiden city of reality' actually functions. And also not forgetting all the seven wonders of the world, especially the Grand Canyon and Coloseum, toronto's CN tower, and the Great Pyramid. Definitely not forgoing the Aurora for anything! Oh well, is $200,000 enough? Don't faint, dad. It's for future for myself by myself. For that sum, perhaps I have to wait till I'm 40 years old to realise the dream.

For now, they're all bubbles. Jus yet, don't try to burst any! Just let my heart wonder for a moment.



The Aurora

Leading a sedantary lifestyle

OMG. Zhenyu has had cravings for Mac. HAHAHAHA. Sounds serious? Like the first time in dunno how many donkey years? I mean, not just the burger the bun or the patty but fries this time! If you know me well, well, you'll know i hate fries because I don't think potatoes should go into the hot oil. So the worst thing is that, the cravings were satisfied like almost immediately. Out I went and I'm just in time for the McValue just to save a mere bit. Don't know what's that call, mac double fish fillet? With added wasabi of course. I love it! Had this once in Hong Kong, and I'd say the second attempt to break the record was so similar to the first. They tasted almost the same, or least the same at all. I'm going to try bolehland's mac next week!

Not withstanding that, I think I'm certain I'm correct and I'm justified that H1N1 is within me. It was just reported in the news that almost all flu patients is contracted with it, and it's become a large scale common flu, just like any other viruses in history. It's been 3 weeks since my first visit to the doctor? And the first visit was 1 week after my first symptom surfaced. So technically there are more than 30 days of symptoms. Up till today I'm still on anti-biotics because my doctor couldn't dispose me with tamiflu because his clinic is not under the Pandemic Preparedness Clinic (PPC) framework. He said 'even if you're down with H1N1 I can't tell either'. Like wtf? Ok sorry for that but the bottomline is that I'm still down.

Seems like the virus is invading my brain cells. I've been satisfying my every craving, like the mac case, and more to come. Potatoe chips?! Oh gosh. I hated it for once and for years of abstinence until I broke the sacred and unspoken history with my bare hands and an open mouth in just a few seconds. The 3kg lost (WOW) during the last month could be, again, a matter of history. Refering to this post, the target and result are on par but if I'm going at this rate, the lost kilos will be reverted in just a few days. And the virus being in the way of workouts, the body mass will typically, as is the case before, increase back to the peak of recent times.

Kbox session tml, and I hope to warm up my huge already long frozen brain.

ONE GOOD NEWS. The new owner of my house has agreed to extend the tenure for two months comencing from the date of completion. Maybe November instead of next month. Urgently looking for a new stayout now. Thank them for that, appreciated. If not perhaps the spot under KJE flyover could be our next shelter...

ITS HOLIDAY SEASON! Travelling around the region for the next few weeks!

Yet another craving: this time round an unrealistic one and can't be satisfied in at least the near future. She's the one.

A korean born in germany. A true elegant beauty in its class. And for the price.

TEN years later. Cool.

Home Sweet Home

Look at how she construct her own bed. That's so smart and cute of her!

That's really hilarious! HAHAHAAHA. Or perhaps she knows we're all moving soon....

AND... I think this is real cool. Called the PRT (Personal Rapid Transport), it moves only when there's passenger, so that alone can save on resources and thus lower fare (Approx 20c a trip for 4 persons), yet direct service (can go right into a shopping mall or office building) with no transfers needed. The best thing is, the train waits for you, not the other way around like the mrt or bus transit. Imagine our Orchard Road featuring such cool thingy??

And this is how she sleeps everyday!

New job!

A new job, a new begining.

Just bathed the hamsters. They smell good like i do!
