Nutshell of Student Seminar Trip to Kuala Lumpur

Day 1: Trip to Kuala Lumpur
Had to wake up like so early. Shucks man cant even let me wake up the time i wan. Well anyway showered n changed. Kinda excited yet didnt like the idea i was going ther by bus. Ball n Liwei took a cab.. shared cab lah. so yea.

Reached kinda late. By the time we were there, everyone was boarding the bus. Kinda fast cos no need to wait. My kinda way of travelling. Bus left early n promptly on e dot. Managed to load my bag to where i wanted.. hehe.. Liwei sat beside me. Bus was packed cos we had to share bus wif ITE Tampines.

Our road trip to KL began which marked the start of my misery. Haha.. Well glad tat there would be stops. Asked Miss Low if there would be stops etc.. hehe.. Didnt go to the toilet b4 we left.

Finally after few mins, We arrived Singapore Customs to check our passports. Didnt need to lug our bags with us.. Thank God. After clearing the passports, we headed back to the bus and then continued to Malaysia Immigrations to clear malaysia.

Wen we were entering Malaysia, i was looking at my phone to see if i got reception.. Well as expected, my reception got cut off. so yea.. Finally reached Malaysia and wen to the immigrations.. haha

Guess wat? Liwei's photo wasnt updated so the officer asked her to see his superior. While Liwei was making her way to Office, the officer shouted to his superior something abt e passport. Automatically i knew she was in for shit cos he said something abt her documents having some problems.

Knowing how they would handle such matters, i literally tossed my passport infront of e officer. Of course he starred at me.. But do u think i cared? Fuck man. I didnt. hehe.. Attitude. Of all the countries i have been to, tis in e onli country i showed attitude to the immigrations officer.. I jus didnt bother.

It was raining.. so yea.. By then, our bags were wif us cos we had to change to a Malaysian Registered Bus. It was raining so had to run n out my bag. For tat split second wen i was doin my bag, i felt i was like the cargo officer.

Wen i boarded the bus, the back of my shirt was kinda wet cos wen i bend to put my bag, the water frm the cargo compartment dripped to my back. then i wen back to wiat for Liwei. As expected, she got fucked upside dwn my the immigrations officers (verbally tat is). Wen i saw her come, i ran dwn to the bus to help her wif her bag.

She was pissed n started bitching loudly abt wat the superior said to her.. haha.. All i could do was jus stand and let her bitch cos she was really very pissed.. haha.. Well we began our trip to Malaca first for Lunch at some country club.

WEather was nice to slp but of course i didnt slp cos i wasnt used to it. The weather was like raining at one area then e next was raining n at one point, Could see the clouds.. hehe n it was cold n i liked it alot.

It was nice. AFter some, we stopped for a toilet break n tis time i wen to the toilet. The first toilet i went to was at the Malaysia Immigrations. And the second stop was my second time. Liwei was coughing.. Guess she wasnt well.. hehe

WE opened the cargo compartment to store our stuff. I took the water bottle out and kept my goodie bag.. Soon after, we began our trip to Malacca. In malaysia, Malacca was spelt as Malaca.. Well anyway, the country club was like an hour so so frm where we were..

Soon, we arrived. Frm afar, the country club looked kinda nice. But as the bus moved nearer n nearer to the country club, it looked kinda old.. haha.. Alighted frm the bus and headed into the Country Club. Soon lunch was served. the food kinda sucked! Those who were older said they can compare the standard wif the army cook house.

Mind u they said tat cook house food was better. haha n the dishes kinda sucked. WEll there was one prawn dish tat was nice.. Si Chuan Prawn. hehe.. not bad.. but the rest yucky. The rice kinda looked like porriage.. haha..

After our terrible lunch, we headed off to Putra Jaya.. Tat was quite a drive was abt another 3hrs.. Off most of them were.. to dream land tat is.. I was kinda restless AGAIN.. WE had to pass state after state.. so long!! My ass really hurt man. but thank God i survived.. hehe

Finally after the long drive, we arrived at Putra Jaya.. it was nice. Its like u see all the Kampung areas n all then suddenly, KAZAM! U see a very "futuristic" area/district. Was nice.. Frm here, i could see the Ex-PM's vision but on the other hand, it looked kinda out of place.. then the quarters, no many pple were living there. tat was one of their problems..

Alighted n took some pictures. And bought some sourveniors. hehe Spent like RM30 i think.. not forgetting chewing gums.. hehe.. Did take some pictures. and abt an hour later, we headed to Kuala Lumpur!! Couldnt wait.

The trip was abt an hour or so. Haze wasnt tat bad. Upon reaching KL, Miss Low said she saw the Petronas Twin tower. The twin tower was made of Glass n Stainless Steel so tat they don have to repaint it watso ever. I asked Miss Low is they had cement n all.. like usual stuff to make a building.. N yes there was.. the internal structure tat is.

For tat moment, i was like a foreign exchange student.. haha.. I saw the Kuala Lumpur tower first. n told Miss Low tat it was the KL tower.. she didnt really believe then the tour guide said tat it was the KL tower n i was right..

Reached the hotel after so long!! Crown Princess n not Crown Prince. But it was 5 star.. The room was nice! I had a bath tub and a shower corner wif glass door. hehe then bed was queen size..Best of all, part of my room, could see the Petronas Twin Tower!! haha.. I was bunking in wif Ball btw.... hehe

Of course he would take up most of the space wen we slp... I was so super excited tat i dunno wat to do. Wen i unpacked, i was so excited tat i was lost. haha WEll excited bcos i survived the bus trip mainly.. hehe.. WE were given like few mins to go to our rooms to freshen up and then had to go to the ballroom to have dinner.

The food was kinda ok lah. At least can eat lor.. hehe.. While we were having dinner, the Hotel Manager was briefing us abt wat to do if there is a fire or an emergency.. But we were all most interested in the food then to listen to him yack.. haha

AFter dinner, we had to gather cos we were going to KL Towers!! hehe.. But then they said we had had like onli 45mins to shop.. So we all in Bus 2, decided tat we would go one round the KL tower for e view. MInd u it was like 200+ stories high n could see the Petronas Twin tower frm there.. .. hehe

WEll yea. AFter seeing the place, we took the lift dwn n rushed to our coach. Thereafter, off to Petaling Street in China Town we went for our shopping.. hehe.. Wen we reached, the coach stop us somewhere abt 5mins walk to Petaling Street cos the coach was too big.

So yea we alighted n started shopping.. hehe.. It was so crowded!! Liwei, Charlie (frm TP ITE) and i wen to tis "shop" wanted to buy for mummy an LV bag then charlie check the thing for me. N it was gd. So yea. then i asked Liwei n Charlie if it was part of the LV collection. they said no.

I didnt wan it. The guy didnt wan to let me go. So i said "i need to think abt it" n he said "common give me ur price" n he offered RM95 n e actualy price was RM100 n obviously i didnt wan it. so yea.

I kept telling him i would consider till he got pissed n tossed his calculator n the floor. I jus left. hehe couldnt be bothered. Liwei n Charlie, stopped by tis shop to buy some pastries n stuff i didnt cos i didnt know wat to buy.. so yea. haha

Finally, i bought Mummy a Prada Bag (grade B) and it cost like RM50 so yea i got it. Then i looked for a sweater for myself. Found an adidas one which was RM45 n Charlie managed to bargain it to RM40.. hehe

Didnt have much time. so had to leave.. Everyone bough shoes n clothes n stuff. i didnt buy shoes n i wan the onli one who bough the handbag.. haha funny.. hehe.. Well we headed to the hotel.. and showered n stuff..

Felt like a handicap without my HP. So wen to the 7Eleven to buy a Prepaid card which cost RM19 bucks which had a RM10 value inside.. so yea.. Rushed back to my hotel room and started fiddling wif my phone n all.

Called Mummy n GRace n could sms!! hehe well had to be mindful of who i call n the duration of the call.. so yea. WEll after ironin n settling my calls, i took my shower.. Couldnt really slp so chatted wif Gina a friends whose room was beside mine.. hehe

Chatted till like 0230 n abt 0220, Mr Christopher Leow, did his spot check n saw us n yea he didnt scold cos it wasnt wrong.. He said "I trust Bishan n Tampines students tat y i didnt check their rooms"

Tats for me was a great achievement cos for a Staff to trust students i think it takes a lot of bonding etc.. so yea.. hehe well wen to slp n tat was the end of Day 1..

Day 2: Life in KL n getting

Wen Mdm Wee Rang the bell, i woke up. n had my towel on onli.. haha then Mdm Wee was relieved.. hehe.. Well Ball n i rushed dwn after we were done. N still saw pple strolling into the ballroom.

Miss Low saw ball ball n i. Infront of the TP students, she shouted at us for not picking up the call n all.. Kinda got pissed. Previous night, i didnt put dwn the phone properly.. hmm well maybe i deserved it n could sense tat Miss Low was worried n all.. But still she was kinda harsh..

Really wan to thank god for tis trip, Protection n helping me control my bladder on the bus. Saw some familiar spots n tis meant tat we are reaching Singapore!! haha.. Good thing we don have to change bus like wat we did wen we wen tot KL. The bus we were on was suppose to go to Clementi MRT Station n NEwton Station. But then Bus 7 n bus 2, we planned to go like. Bus 7 would go to Clementi whilst Bus 2 would go to Newton. so not so troublesome.. so yea.. tats wat we did.

At Singapore Immigrations, we switched bus lor.. i didnt have to.. But either which, we had to get everythin off the bus we were on.. so yea. The malaysian tour guide said tat no chewing gums were allowed n i had like 30 sticks.. haha

Was kinda scared. WEn i saw the scanner they had at the airport, i was ready to open my bag to let them check.. thank God wen my bag wen in, the police didnt say anything.. hehe. was cleared.. n Am finally back in Singapore!! hehe.. but sad too..

For the last few days, my malay accent all jus came out n maybe it reminded me of Brunei?? Well didnt while i was in Malaysia, didnt really talk much abt home (singapore.. haha and now having to go back, kinda really not used to it..

I mean aside frm calling mummy n grace, i was so used to malaysia lor minus the air n the water.. haha.. O remember the bus tat broke dwn? Another bus was on its way to fetch those pple on the bus. hehe..
