The annual year-end visit to my cousins' place in Kuala Lumpur was fun-filled as usual.
I always loved it as it serves as a good opportunity for me to get away from the hectic lifestyle in Singapore and moreover I'll get to spend time with my beloved cousins! All 3 of them sisters!
I love it as they always treated me like their own sister too. Bringing me around to experience their way of life and buying me stuffs generously. Really glad to have forged this close kinship with them since young.
Well anyway, did I mentioned that I love the skies in Malaysia? They always seemed so low, so close to the ground surface. Everytime I travelled in the car, I feel like I can almost reach out my hand and grab a handful of those nice fluffy white cloud from the sky.
I mean you hardly get to see nice & big seemingly-low lying clouds in Singapore, do you?
Maybe Singapore skies/air are polluted. Or maybe the horizon is higher here? Haha.
These pictures seriously cant satisfy my eagerness to potray the beauty of the Malaysia skies man. Wait till you get a chance to look up at the skies while travelling on a highway road at night.
The bright stars cover almost the entire
sky-scape. Lovely! ^^
We stopped by Yong Peng, my grandparents' place to have early lunch and also to fetch my grandparents as they were going to KL with us.
Proudly presents...
Mr Bean's Holiday!!!
Ok. I'm just kidding. Haha. That's just my grandpa's 1000-year-old mini cooper which happens to resemble Mr Bean's car.
I just adore the cutie strawberry accessory which he hung on his rear view mirror.
LOL! 100% Cuteness!
I bought this not because I felt like drinking milk. It's entirely because of the cutey buttercup picture on the package. =D
Finally Reaching!!!!
On the first day when we reached KL, all of us were dead beat. We took a nice nap at home before going (I forgot the name of the place. lol!) for seafood dinner!
On the 2nd day, we went shopping at mid-valley megamall.
Crowd's everywhere! Din manage to buy anything cux nothing seemed to be to my liking!omgomg!
It was Dong Ri or something, a chinese festive occasion. So Grandma and Aunt prepared a feast and we had a sumptous dinner at home. Also had to eat Tang Yuan.
We made online booking for the 11.20pm movie at the Golden Screen Cinemas of The Gardens, which is a newly built extension of Mid-Valley Megmall.
The Premium Class cinema was newly launched and cousin suggested that we give it a try.
The theatre seats were in pairs. All couple, sofa seats. They are very very spacious and comfy!
(can sit cross-legged or even hug your huge soft toy there loh! lol!)
You can even order snacks and they'll send in to you, so you don't have to queue and wait for them to prepare your nacho/ popcorns etc.
The Premium Class is one class below the Gold Class - yea, Malaysia have that too in their Golden Screen Cinemas (GSC).
Tickets are priced at Rm20 per pax. That's about SGD 9. Very reasonable right!!!
In Singapore, a normal class weekend movie ticket also costs you $9.50 liao. Somemore, online booking still need to pay $1 more for booking fee.
Oh btw, we watched...
Oops. Wrong poster! Haha.
We watched...
I AM LEGEND.
Yup. Malaysia's screening the movie earlier than in Singapore.
Overall, the movie is nice!
(Dear, don't scold me for not waiting to watch with u =X )The storyline is so much better than other zombies movies like resident evil, dawn of the dead etc. because the zombies in this show are
clever.
They are scheming and they set traps.
And they don't die easily on just a stab! Haha!
One word to comment on Will Smith's acting -
SUPERB.
He carried the emotions so SO well that I was feeling rather depressed throughout the entire show. I mean the feeling of lonelines. Of supposedly being the last person alive on earth. Damn sad right? And he had to resort to talking to dummies leh...
And then his always-so-loyal dog sacrificed itself and died. I nearly broke into tears man. I would have gone crazy or committed suicide if I were him. But I guessed it's his duty of completing the research that supported him to hang in there.
However, I thought the ending was a lil' too rushy. It gives me the "
huh, really end like that liao ah" feeling.
But still.. it's worth to watch this movie. ^^
Saw a pretty x'mas tree outside the theatre and couldn't resist taking a photo with it even though it was already nearing 2am and people were vacating the cinema real fast.
The light changes from blue to yellow and vice-versa and I specifically indicate that I want the photo to be taken only when the light turned yellow. ^^
We then had supper at Steven's Corner which operated 24hrs daily. Even at 2am plus, you can still find the crowd there. =D
Hmm..Talk about developing night life in Singapore...
Haix...
Anyway.. they serve very good teh tarik and roast quail/pigeon..
Aiya dunno wad species lah.. nice can liao..
On the 3rd day, we went shopping at Sungei Wang Plaza and Berjaya Times Square.
At last, managed to harvest some things from the long day of shopping.
I still think Sungei Wang is the best shopping/ bargaining destination. ^^
Big Christmas tree in the hall of Berjaya Times Square
There was this barbie doll in wedding gown display outside a certain jewellery shop.
They were promoting their new series of wedding jewelleries and there were at least a 100 of barbies on the long table. Each dressed in a different wedding gown.
I couldn't even captured all of them on my camera.
Cousin and I walked around the table and we could already identify so many gown designs that we like! ^^
We had dinner at a Chinese Restaurant before going home to rest and slack.
At night about 12.30am, aunt and cousin brought us to the
KL Lookout Point which was located at only a 15min drive away from the apartment.
On top of the hill, there were several cafes mostly serving western food.
One of them was the Lookout Point Restaurant.
The scenic view from the restaurant.
We climbed up the observatory tower which was further elevated from the ground to get a even better/ further view of the KL city.
The picture didn't turn out pretty though. Haha!
The moon that night was completely round I'd tell you. Completely.
It's really beautiful.
Cousin randomly mentioned that her friend told her before that absorbing the moon's lunar energy can promote beauty and we end up suggesting enthusiastically that we were going to moon-tan on Sentosa's beach the next she visits Singapore.
LOL!
