less larger than life

I'm back from KL! With the same flu germs and a heavy suitcase (:

Just some memos..

KL was mostly a mishmash of shopping and tired feet and a little whining at the low quality goods and squealing at the cheapstuff, something that hasn't happened often along orchard road after the 7% overkill.

my hotel was some convention centre plus a shopping mall 7 storeys high so it was pretty fun... suntec city + vivo + raffles city combined.

Impersonal, bustling, noisy, lack of equity at places, food spots randomly peppered, everything just the way I like it.

this place was reallyreallyreally weird. it was For Members Only i.e. only losers who worshipped punksatanic rock could go in. They had 2 Gollums guarding the gates.

some changing room. The saleslady loved my mum, cos she could sell her Size 0s lol.

the theme park was great. The pasty white face is evidence. I looked like Death. I couldn't breathe on the first ride. They bring you all the way up 5 storeys with your feet dangling. I was screaming the building down. And whining quite pathetically and embarrassing my brother. But ah well. That's what sisters do.

merry christmas.

Most of my money was spent on BOOKS, the love of my life. the Borders at our hotel / shopping mall is the largest in SEA, so there was no reason not to buy books even though they were about the same price. I've finally got dante's inferno and roth and eco's On Literature, among other pleasing buys.

my first day's buys.

And I got the 2003 movie Sylvia starring Gwyneth Paltrow as sylvia plath and -get this - Daniel Craig as Ted hughes.. There was one shocking semi-nude scene that my bro was unfortunate enough to view, but the poetry was good. It was a talking movie. I love those. They leave one feeling rather smart even with not having enjoyed much.

The food was nice. I was sick so I couldn't really taste much though. But it was still fun.

crispy waffles at the stop before reaching KL.

my sick-man food.

BASKIN ROBBINS

the milk-before-bedtime.

Ok now i'm humouring me. My sis told me the skyline was a good shot. And that my E was really bad. But you only live once.

L-O-V-E.

sis is weird.

The executive coach ride on our way back had movies and games so they kept us busy. Then goodluck ran out and the tyre burst so we were stranded with little light (but still playing the movies) along the roads of KL while travelling back to the Homeland. So near, yet so far.

Alright! (:
