so kuala lumpur proved to be an awesome consoliday (read: console, holiday) in place of bangkok.
the situation in bangkok is pretty fucked up. a day before we were due to leave, a state of emergency was announced. while we partied, got drunk and gambled in KL, 20 people lost their lives fighting against or for something they believe in.
i hope the thais remember that lives - not just hardship - is at stake.
ok, moving on to our trip to KL - it was made up of PURE WIN.
I'm going to list down the myriad activities we did, because i never, never want to forget what happened:
Day 1
- arrived at Berjaya Times Square
- had a coffee and KRISPY KREMES
- arrived at Radius International Hotel and checked in (free upgrade!)
- ventured out to bukit bintang for some bak ku teh
- walked down to pavilion where i screamed when i saw forever 21
- shopped, had some starbucks and headed to nandos for dinner
- went back to the hotel, changed and headed to zouk KL
- partied like it was 1999 (literally) and drank (4 jugs = 140rm!)
- watched as the beau puked at the zouk KL sign
- sent the beau back, leaving kenneth to fend on his own
- tucked the beau into bed with a warm towel on his head.
Day 2
- woke up bright and early to have breakfast: fishball mee, roast chicken and pork and ampang yong tao foo
- headed to pudraraya to get a cab to Genting! Kenneth bailed due to hangover.
