KL trip

Time passed by so fast and my holiday trip to KL ended in a twinkling of an eye.

On the 5th of December, my parents, my bro and I departed when the clock struck 12:05am. The whole journey took only 5 hours before we reached Pudu bus stop. The air conditioned bus made our journey a cold one and kept us sneezing. After 10 minutes, my third sis, xin and "lampard" came to fetch us.

We went to my second sis(hwei)'s home first where we unpacked all our things. We were already out there having breakfast when the sky was still dark. I had "harmee". The bowl of "harmee" seemed to be a bit big and most people spoke in cantonese which confused me a lot. Soon after that, we made a visit to IKEA. Cars could be seen lumbering slowly bumper-to-bumper along the way to IKEA. Fly-overs were usual structures in KL. IKEA was indeed a great place. All the things were arranged so coordinately and labelled clearly. The show rooms were fantastic. Different types of furniture full of creativity and innovation were equipped in sample dining rooms, washing rooms, kitchens,... There were tags informing us the function and other details of each furniture. Before long, we headed towards "The Curve". It was a huge shopping mall. We ended our tiring day with a dinner.

The second day, my bro and I lived in xin's apartment. Her room mates reared some kind of flying squirrels, feeding on apples. Her apartment looked rather comfortable and it will not be as nice as home. The guards looked responsible and the safety measures of the apartment were good. We went Batu Cave to have a look. 272 steps, i think and each steps were about 15-16cm high. So, for me, the energy consumed to get up there was approximately 20.8kJ. Later, we decided to go Mid Valley but traffic jam prevented us from entering. Out of ideas, we just went dinner. At night, we planned to take LRT to KLCC but we couldn't afford to let our parents to walk all the way to the LRT station and so, the plan shattered. Anyway, we went for a midnight movie in Pavilion. The movie was "Twilight", a love story between a vampire and a human. I'm so sleepy and I managed to stay awake until the movie ended.

On the third morning, due to the erratic weather, our trip to Zoo Negara was replaced to Sunway Pyramid. We had a long day shopping, or I should say window-shopping. Anyway, "Santa" (my mom) did give my something --- a shirt, saying that I'll be having National Service while they were shopping for New Year's clothes by then. At dusk, we went pasar malam near hwei's place. It was big. We were spoilt for choice, especially for food. It was so crowded. At night, we slept early.

The next morning, after filling our stomaches, we headed home. Home sweet home. Here I come. The trip was so enjoyable and memorable. I had the opportunities to spend more time with my family members and knew a bit about my sisters' lives in KL. All I could say is I love my family and I hope to spend more time with time.

Don't feel touched, because it's my life, not yours.
You should spend more time with your family!

Terrible weather in KL. Really unpredictable. By the way, your KL trip sounds interesting. Better than mine.
