it feels so good to be connected, in more ways than one, again.

for those not one of the three people who knew both of us went to KL for the weekend, well, we did. and i'm hella glad to be back.

back to my spacious bathroom - bathing in the hotel room's excuse of a shower was a mental torture because it was inevitable to come in contact with the walls and/or shower curtain. shudder.

back to my bedroom - gawd knows how clean are the sheets and pillowcases. i had trouble falling asleep because i was stressing myself out over how clean [dirty?] the sheets are. yes i'm the girlfriend from hell because i'm an anal bastard.

also, KL is FUCKING SMELLY. i really have no idea why but the smell of raw sewage rotting in the sweltering, unrelenting sun seemed to plague our exploration of the city.

ok enough complaining, because i'm too tired and grumpy and constipated to do a proper entry, this will be a condensed one.

the five senses of KL

sight

see the petronas towers lit up at night, with clouds hovering around its spires. that was the only moment during the trip i wished i had my camera but never mind, that image is seared into my mind
seeing how into it the crowd was at the dnb gig he played at. well, no doubt some of them were ummmm chemically aided.
seeing [again] how cheap cigs were. also, seeing how bloody cheap alcohol was at zouk kl. 19rm amaretto sours and white wine = 9 ish SGD = really happy girl. seeing is believing. hic.
i didn't see a good looking guy all 3 days i was there! now i'm not implying msians are an ugly bunch ok....
observing how scattered buildings are. imagine a giant holding fistful of random buildings and sprinkling them around with no concept of organization or infrastructure...

smell

raw, decomposing sewage all around

taste

mee curry [with oily utensils that detracted my full enjoyment from the goodness]
killer chicken wings. absolutely killer. i just kept shoving them in and and tearing the meat away without rest, like a well oiled machine. killer.
maggi goreng, which was nicer than spize's
ok now i'm so done with mamak food. i need pasta!
trying nando's. ming why did you recommend it?!

ok i'm really sleepy and hungry so no more for this entry. i just have to say it was a pleasure meeting mac, jasmine, shinji and lee. esp nice talking to jasmine and shinji. we'll be consummate hosts the next time you all drop by. i am also in desperate need of cheese fondue and pms time, hopefully i'll kill two birds with one stone tomorrow.

the textual siege.
