My Malaysia Trip 13/1/06 - 15/1/06 Day ONE

Upon Arrival

13/1/06:

Met up with Yihua at around 1500 and we head off to Woodland's Checkpoint. Of course after which cross the Causway and reached Johor... Reached Larkin at 1645. With our 1159pm bus tickets in hand, we wanted to exchange for an earlier bus to KL. BUT, the earliest bus for Transnasional is 7pm.. So bobian, have to buy another bus tics from another company. We went to Konsortium, whose bus was 530. But sadly there's only 1 seat left. Den the boss of Konsortium recommended us another bus that leaves at 5pm. We were very reluctant cos we scared kena cheated mah~ But in the end, we still took the bus, after seeing quite a few Chinese on the bus >< They boss was kind enough to take our Transnasional tics at RM10. Although I know the tics were definitely worth more than that....

After a 4 hour-ride, we finally arrived at KL Puduraya station. On the way, I was contacting Georgina so as to arrange for meetup~ So by the time we reached, we have to head for Stadium Merdeka. After a 20 min walk, we managed to find the place!! Lost our way a little, but wasn't too bad~ By the time we reached, apart from Georgina, Jingzheng and Teresa, we saw Xiaofei and gang as well! Was quite surprised, cos din noe they going as well... Georgina they all very kind~ bought chicken pie for us as dinner ;DDD Although I was really too thirsty to eat them.... One more thing, me and Yihua were quite shocked that our hotel, Midah, is actually very near the stadium (yeah!) Right after we arrived, we have to decide whether to get a room at Midah or go back to the Palace of Golden Horses with Georgina they all~ Being curious how grand the "6-star hotel" really is, I decided that we should just follow them. And since we could barely hear wat's going on inside, we decided to leave earlier... Before we left, saw Eileen and friends and 3 Malaysia friends which I got to know last September at 全球~

We left the stadium at around 2245. Wanna get a cab down. But was worried that the taxi driver refuse to take 5 ppl (its illegal like Singapore). But still with Georgina superb 哈啦-skill, we managed to get a driver on 1st try! haha... And this driver turns out to be a SUPER SUPER NICE driver!!! Because me and Yihua wanted to go queue the next day morning at the stadium, we need to get a cab there~ So the uncle gave us his no. and asked us to call him the next day morning. He will go to the hotel to pick us. :)))))

Upon arrival, the hotel is truly quite grand with a golden 龍椅 right after we enter the door. But hor... That's really about the "grandness"~ The toilet of the hotel room is very very nice oso though.... Its spacious and erm.. aiyah! just very nice ah!!! After we reached the room, Wenning and Chuying knocked on their doors~ still tried playing hide-and-seek~ haha... Had a little chat~ Den Wenning was telling us what happened earlier on~ That 謝~玲 from Rocks, saw them along the corridors of the hotel and said 不是住這裡的不要亂走。。。 we were like WTH!! 她看死 we cannot afford to stay in that hotel man!!! After knowing this info, we noe we will have to be very careful when we wonder around the hotel... After the chat, they went back to their room and we washed-up before exploring the hotel.

At around 0100, everybody was ready, we started our exploration from the lobby. Saw Jennifer with her Taiwanese friend, they were waiting for THEM to come back from rehearsal. After saying Hi, we continued with our exploration~ The hotel is really a heaven for horse-lovers.... EVERYTHING there has got something to do with horses... Photos, paintings, carvings on the walls and doors. After walking for awhile, we decided to go to the 24-hour cafe and eat!! haha... After we ordered our food, Jennifer gave Yihua a miss call~ So we rushed up to the lobby~ Den Jennifer told us that THEY just came back.. and yes.. we missed them... Damn~~ While Yihua remains to look out for her yellow cow, me and Teresa went back to the cafe~ And I must say, the food there is nice!!! erm.... except for maybe their western food. After that supper, me and Yihua went to explore further where the other 3 went back to the room 1st... By around 0245, we went back to the room and rest as well.. We've come to the conclusion that Malaysia's standard of 6 star is probably equivalent to maybe our 4 star? Cos some things there were rather old and not in very good condition~ Den we still can see wild cat and lizards around. And like Yihua said, the most basic element, a person to open your door, is not even there...
