I am back from KL with the other five 71 gals!!

This was my first time visiting KL and I went there by train! Super cool huh? We set off from Tanjong Pagar railway station on Tuesday night and reached KL Central Station on Wednesday morning. The train was not -posh- like the Hogwarts Express, but it's still kind of cool cos we got to sleep on bunk beds in the carriages. The journey by train was rather smooth throughout but it do get wobbly sometimes. *lol*

Our accommodation was at the Sunway Pyramid Hotel in Sunway Lagoon and my, it was super nice, comfy, posh and affordable!! The beds are super nice to sleep in, so you could imagine how hard it was to wake up in the morning. We love the rooms to bits and we spent every night playing mahjong cards in the rooms! The best part was that they actually gave us connecting rooms! =)

The nice display by the bedside

Anyway, we spent the whole of Wednesday afternoon at the theme park in Sunway Lagoon. It was my first time trying more exciting rides, cos there's more people taking the rides with me. Haha. There's some rather gay but nice rides like one where we sat on a float-boat and moved through the rapids and some others like the rather scary rollercoaster where all of us could feel our hearts drop. I almost got onto the pirate ship, thinking that it was a normal pirate ship--but it's not. kl and val went first and the rest of us in the queue chickened out when we saw this:

Goodness. It's a 360 degree pirate ship!!

We were totally shagged after taking those rides and we realised that we are really -old- compared to those energetic kids running around in the themepark. *sigh*

Thursday was spent shopping(which made us all energetic in an instant) at Sungei Wang and Time Square. Sungei Wang is something like Far East Plaza, where you could get stuff at bargain prices. It has so many shops that we actually managed to cover only half of them. Time Square had nothing which we could afford and we totally engaged in window-shopping. It's really for those people with the moolah for high-end goods. Even then, the shops don't really sell nice stuff. I wonder what's all these hype about Time Square about.

We went to Mid-Valley Mega Mall on Friday, and this time round, we had a much pleasant shopping experience. There's a lot of variety and mid-range goods which all of us could afford. And haha, with the combined efforts of us 6, we actually could redeem membership cards in the shops we went to. The atmosphere in the mall was rather good and it makes people feel like buying things. We ended up almost broke at the end of the day. *lol*

We had to check-out on Saturday noon, but out train was at 10 at night. So we left our baggages with the concierge and walked around the Sunway Pyramid Mall next to our hotel. We had like, 7 plus hours to kill before leaving for the train station. Haha. I bet we can remember the floorplan of the mall now after combing it for so long and stopping at so many places for drinks and food. Oooh, speaking of food, the hotel provides nice breakfast buffet and there's A&W and Dunkin' Donuts in the mall!!! We ate A&W at least 3 times during this trip and at least 2 Dunkin' Donuts each as well. Super sinful I would say. But just look at this, don't you miss them?

The root-beer float sorely missed by everyone

Dunkin' Donuts

Yum! =)

We boarded the train at 10 on Saturday night and finally reached Singapore at 7 on Sunday morning! All in all, it had been a fun trip with good company, good food and good shopping experiences!=)

After all the fun and excitement, it's time to settle down and look for a job. =/
