KL Weekend

Just got home from my weekend trip to KL with Collin. Stayed at Anjung Guesthouse which was really nice and clean. Basically ate the whole time there and i think i ate my entire week's caloric requirement over the 2 days. The food was great and we lamented at the sad state of Singapore hawker food in comparison.

Stuff that we ate included KL Hokkien Mee, Wanton Mee, Beef Noodles, Penang Char Kway Teow, Assam Laksa, Curry Mee, Cuttlefish Kangkong, Chicken Rice and Char Siew, Ipoh Hor Fun, Roti Canai, Kenny Rogers, Ramly Burger, Bak Kut Teh, Satay and Mee Goreng. Well all of the dishes were shared so its mainly tasting the food haha. Other brainless things we did included watching I Am Legend and Warlords. Incredibly mind numbing shows and really really comical after awhile. Well we had time so wat the heck. Went to the Berjaya Times Square amusement park AGAIN and got nauseated on the spinning rides haha, though pancakes at Dome kinda helped clear it up. Mmm nice fluffy pancakes soaked in syrup haha.

The most ridiculous part of the trip was the journey back. To save money i decided we should take a one way ticket to KL and buy our return ticket for half the price. Lo and behold, when we got there, all the return tickets were sold out. The only alternative was to catch a KL to JB bus and hop onto a JB Singapore bus. We left KL at 1530 (the bus was 30mins late) and reached JB at 2030. Had to queue to buy the tickets for the express bus and the bus left the terminal for the casueway at around 2100. Got stuck in the infamous casueway jam (only on their side) and only cleared Malaysia customs at around 2300. Got to the Singapore side and the queue for the express bus was incredibly loooong. Decided to abandon that endeavor and hopped onto the near empty 950 bus to Marsiling MRT thereafter. Caught the train to Jurong East at 2330 and reached Jurong in time for the last train. So by the time i stepped into my house, it was 0015. So Ive been ont he road for nearly 9 hours. Its crazy. All to save 13 sing dollars BAH! Please if you ever go on a weekend, buy a RETURN ticket! hah. Lesson learnt.
