Bonda Humaira: March 2005

Thursday, 24th March 2005

No hotel reservation, no confirmed bus, dunno where to go... just the determination to get out of this land.

Never occured to me to bagpack with Jieja. Ever since the break-up, she's been so dear. Thanks beb! U're the best! :)

Niwei... yerp yerp... off we go taking the cab. Leaving my worries.. leaving my woes...

This is how we fill the White Card: (1) Smile (2) Write in a moving vehicle Posted by Hello

And so we reached Larkin after 3 hours of travelling from SG. Bought the cheaper bus tix (RM30) hoping to get a good coach. Yeah rite!!! Shud haf seen the kind of bus we travelled on to KL.....

In the bus.. finally

Yes ladies n gentleman... they gave us a Bas Sekolah. So...

Lesson no. 1: Boycott TransNational Coach Service
Lesson no. 2: Check bus tix. It must be signed. If possible, ask the counter to stamp the tix to ensure authenticity, thus quality of service. (Arrghhh...)

Oh well.. learnt our lesson the hard way.

I was quite scared throughout the journey. The bus was FULL of Indonesian Men. Unknown strangers.... unknown destination... sigh... We'll reach KL at ard 2am. Where can we get a hotel??? SIGH....

Bus Sekolah??

And so... we reached KL at 2.30am. Our eyes were WIDE AWAKE when we saw the City life. Hmmm... reminded me of Boat Quay. In fact, liveLIER than our local Boat Quay.

I needed to reflect something i saw along the way. Saw a homeless man sleeping right in front of a pub, beside a lamp post. My heart stopped looking at the man's state. How can human beings just walk past without stopping and looking at this poor man?? When i had my second and third look, i realised that this man has no legs!!!! To my horror, i nudged Jieja. My doa's to this man. May Allah lighten the burden imposed on him....

So, back to the bagpacking story...
The bus halted rite in front of a hotel.. Katari's the name. Situated in front of Pudu Raya Bus Terminal. Strategic place!

I was the unofficial spokeperson for the morning. I enquired for a room. They had rooms available!!! WooHOOoOOoOOo!!! And its WAY CHEAPER than the ones we saw in the internet! Cheap hotels dun do reservations they say. Wonderful!!!

Straight away, we did the necessary things to make ourselves feel comfortable. The toilet doesnt haf bathtub :( But tt was a minor issue for me.

Our next agenda was:
1. Pool our money.
2. Decide where to go the next morning.

We customized the map (now who say Girls cant read map?? We're good in our direction, and excellent in decorating the map!)
We drew a little house on the map to indicate our hotel... marked our destinations nicely.....
We were EXCITED.

We slept. Waiting for the morning to come.

Breakfast at Tiffany's...
Neah.. Breakfast at Mydin's

25th March, Friday

The complimentary breakfast was wonderful. Great start for the day!!!!
Fyi, Katari has free internet access @ the eateria. Great service aite?

Destination No. 1: The Indoor Theme Park @ Berjaya Time Square.

That was our first targeted place. But of course.. we're in KL, we're girls... we went shopping first! haha! At Debenhams. Jieja bought something very kinky (krekrekrek) Enjoyed teasing her throughout the shopping experience.

After then, we went up to the theme park. I was AMAZED by what i saw. It IS an indoor THEME PARK!! What awed me the most is that, it's INDOOR (i'm not making much sense here, nvm) WOW! The rollercoaster moves just beside MacDonalds, moves AROUND the lift, passes above another thrill ride! Kewl! Truthfully, i was intimidated by the circular motions the ride seems to be going. I needed to gather 2hours worth of courage before trying the rides. And so, we tried other stuffs first.

The theme park!!!

BEFORE pic

Arrgghh!! My Face looks horrible here!!!!

Krekrekrerke.... We did this 3 times!! Just to get a perfect picture. Well.. after the third try, we gave up (TIRED of shouting!) The is the 'best' picture of all 3 (the 2nd try). The first try, cant see my face at all, coz i was so scared that i clutched my head to my feet (seriously). The third try, Jieja's face was covered by her tudung. Spoilt. So we took this pic lar... No choice! Gawwdd!! My face looks soo horrible here!!

We teased the couple behind us. FUN!

After 3 hours of enjoying selves by testing our guts and intestines, we ended our journey in Cosmo's World! We vowed to come again.. the next time, with our siblings. Wonderful place to let our tudung down and haf fun!

The AFTER pic

This picture was taken rite in front of the exit of the theme park. They haf this Grafiti Level. Luv the color!! Very Youth-y. I likeeeee........................

hI!

Destination No. 2: Full Body Massage worth RM88

How good a deal is that?? We saw the promotion when we were browsing through the leaflets at the entrance. After the guts sucking experience at the theme park, a full body treatment is an ideal plan.

It was H.E.A.V.E.N!! My misus was so polite. And we was GOOD!!!! I dun mind coming there again for treatment and massage! The ambience is a marry of several cultures - Malaysian, Balinese and Thai... thus it is called as JoJoBa Spa and treatment. I luv it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Toilet Spa... we cant take picture at the lobby... the toilet's clean enuff.. this is PRE-Massage

Moi et ma mesus -- POST massage face. All red and energised

Destination No. 3: Manicure and Pedicure Treatment

Can't really see the shiny-ness of my fingers. Felt so pampered and guilty doing all these nonsense. Once in a lifetime experience i guess.. hehe.. experienced it. And that's it. The guilt was overwhelming. Haha!! Not used to pampering myself this much.

Because of the guilt, i decided to learn to do these pamperings at home. Asked lots of questions to the ah so. Lucky the Ah so was nice enuff to share. Am determined to spend time with self the cheaper way (haha!) DIY beb.. DIY....
