Eqyptian Cotton and Donuts

We made a short trip to KL one week ago just to get away from hustle and bustle of Meep.

Nah, just kidding. (We love you Meep, eye boogers and all)

it’s been a while since we went on holiday and since it’s our one year anniversary, we figured, hell, why not jump onto a bus and make our way to the nearest reasonably-priced four-star hotel that is NOT within Singapore ?

So jumped we did.

And feast-ed, spa-ed and shisha-ed and other assorted activities that one would probably be able to do in Singapore as well but for less the price.

It was nothing too romantic or too exciting but yet, just perfect enough a getaway for two old-time honeymooners.

And the best part ? We tried Krispy Kremes ! Yeeessss abit of an old news, since everyone else seems to be waxing lyrical about it already.

But you see, the difference here is that I am a bit of a drip when it comes to donuts. I prefer the boring ol sugar-coated or chocolate sprinkled even though theres a variety of other flavours to choose from. So when I tried Original Glazed for the first time, I was like ‘wow’.

I think I understood homer a little bit better now.

KL's full of looming historical architectural backdrops against overcast skies and supposedly wierd alien flying entities.






"wierd alien flying entities ? Oh what do you mean ?" ..you say ? check it out here.



Those thin flying rod-things in the sky ain't birds.

I thought they were pelts of rain, aidil insisted they were skyfishes.

We are still debating on it now.

And there's also buildings which are still standing albeit a miserable skeletal frame of what used to be there.

why they did not demolish the front of the building as well ? beats me. but its fun to take photos of random semi-demolished buildings.






We had breakfast at a rooftop eatary. the food sucks but at least we get to people watch at the streets below and stare aimlessly at dandruffs and other random bald heads.



at night we went for the hotel spa only cause we couldn't figure out what else to do.
We tried out the fish spa - the one where you have some tiny fat fishes nibble your feet for a bit.

Here's dil looking/feeling very macho about it.



oh. and i have to blog about this -- THE AUTOMATED SCI-FI LOOKING LAVATORY aka the coin-slot toilet which everyone else thought was a lift.

I was so excited that i spent $0.60 ($0.20 per entry) to check it out three times.

I went in and it felt like a star trek moment (except for the part wherein i panicked because the door wouldn't open and imagined that i would have to live in the metal box, eating on toilet paper FOREVER)

thank god it did opened 15mins later.

and i did my no. 2 elsewhere.




shisha's a booming business over there and the price ranges from RM$33 (olio dome) to RM $18 (some roadside eatery) depending on the type of cafe you go to.



and of course, this blog post wouldn't be complete without some shameless posing and camwhoring.
Only cause this is our blog and we can.





Peekaboo (..For lack of better narrative anecdote)

Now we're back here in Singapore, to our regular 180 thread count bedsheet leaving you in the helpful hands of Brett ("Man i wanna have sex with that dragon!") Erlich for some unconventional travel tips.
