END OF DAY ONE...

sorry guys, i know this is like 24 hours late, but we've, but all you need to know is that we are all safe and well in kuala lumpur now, like

  FINALLY! 

so here's how the first day went...
our flight was at 10.30 and because the plane was apparently early, boarding time was 9.30. AS IF! the plane took off at 10.30 anyway and boarding was more like they check your ticket and you get to go to the other side of the rope (cause the door to the plane hadn't been opened yet =_=') . anyway, for those of you who intend to fly tiger, please dont, fly singapore airlines. the chairs LOOK uncomfortable, and they are even worse to sit on! 5 hours on in that seat was enough to know they guy sitting next to me, who happen to go to rossy, what a coincidence eh! his names jeremy and he graduated in the year below us, he's doing NS so he was going back to singapore after spending a week holiday in perth. anyway, he was really cool, and so once we landed in singapore at the budget terminal (which is crap and not worth visiting, its like open air, you'll know what i mean if you go there). 

anyway, after arriving at 3am, we took the free shuttle service (too stingy to pay for a cab) to terminal 2. once there we had maccas and ben, being white already got ripped off. hahah! he ordered a sausage with egg muffin, coffee and hash brown for 5.60 SGD, but jeremy being local, knew you could get a sausage muffin and coffee for only 2SGD!! soo unproportionate. 
right, so after mcdonalds being too stingy pay for a cab, we decided to take the FIRST mrt to harbourside, where the bus to KL was. that was at 5.30, so we basically killed 2 hours at mcdonalds. exciting i know ><

soo took the mrt to harbourside and nothign was open at 6am, except mcdonalds. we sat outside a closed starbucks and to kill time walked around to find where the bus would pick us up from. turned out we had to 'check in' to the bus at the shop that happened to be near starbucks, but ming and i were smart enough to walk to ther other side of the road OUTSIDE the shopping center before being directed BACK to the shopping centre. so pissed, cause it was so gawd damn humid. 

so caught the bus at around 8.30, and keegan was feeling a bit of motion sickness, which he claims was made worse by the bus ride. on the other hand, ben and i were quite happy with the bus ride as there was soo much more room, you could recline your seat all the way back and our bus was nearly completely empty. 

so after 17 hours in travelling we FINALLY  arrived in KL at around 3pm and took two cabs at a cost of rm 20 each (according to my  cousin we were ripped off, possibly due to ben) to the hotel. the hotel is sorta decent, it was a rather pleasant surprise (i think mainly cause we were talking it down so much, so our expectations were really low). anyway, after resting a bit (i personally had been up since 8.30 monday morning and had no more than 3 hours sleep since then till we checked in to the hotel. 

maybe an hour later we headed out, it was HOT AND HUMID, it wasnt' soo bad i suppose, but none of us were quite used to it. headed first to buy simcards to call our families (and my girlfriend =D. it is sooooooo cheapp! we called internationally and spoke for a couple of minutes each and it cost us less than 5 ringgit! whoaa! anyway, happens our hotel is in the middle of bukit bintang, near all the shopping centres, so we made our way to sungei wang. 

so i realise this is getting kinda long, and maybe you want some photos...hahah

so quickly...

finished shopping, i called out my cousin and after we headed back to the hotel, she came to pick us up and we went for dinner. after dinner we went to china town (petaling street i think) and it was really packed out (for a tuesday night). after going around china town, my cousin took us to some pubs where we had two jugs of beer (alcohol is expensive here, sigh, paid rm90 for those two jugs). after that, we went to have roti canai and roti tissue at this 24hr place. soo cheap! by then it was around midnight, and we decided to head back to the hotel cause we'd had a big day...
anyway, some photos...

sssoooo cramped ehh
