4 days, 3 nights, 2 guys, 1 city...

I was in KL recently with Melvin. We decided to get away from Penang and visit a few friends there while fulfilling our craving for the awesome fast-food that never came to our little island.

We took the Aeroline bus to KL and tested our navigational skills with the public transport. We eventually arrived at Sunway Pyramid and without hesitation rushed our asses to Wendy's. Nothing tasted better than a Wendy's burger at that very moment. Not even Ask Me Burger back home in Penang.

on board entertainment..

Wendy's vs Burger King

Penny came to the Pyramid and took us back to her place where we were crashing. After a long chat, we find ourselves at Asia Cafe. I had a less than satisfying bowl of Bibimbap which is a Korean dish while Melvin had his own disappointments in his orange juice. Watched The Sorcerer's Apprentice at 1Utama and went for supper at this nasi kandar place. The roti planta back in Penang tastes SO MUCH BETTER!

Korean Bibimbap vs Japanese Udon

Melvin and I went to Sunway Lagoon the very next day. I know its a little weird for two teenage boys to go to Sunway Lagoon together but then we were ditched by two others whose names I will not mention. the Lagoon is a lot different from how I remembered it to be but it was a pretty enjoyable day. I overcame my fear of that damn swinging Pirate Ship although the one at the Lagoon is nothing compared to the one I first sat in Australia's Sea World 9 years ago.


Dinner was at Asia Cafe again and this time I attempted Japanese udon. Not too bad. Joel Brown and Benny Ng were there too. PFS mini-reunion.

dessert that tastes like heaven!

We put our navigational skills to the test again by driving down to the heart of KL. We explored Sungei Wang Plaza, Berjaya Times Square, and Low Yatt Plaza. Walking down Bintang Walk, I cant help but feel like I'm in Singapore but only less developed. Like the Singapore 10 years ago. Dinner that night was at the highly recommended Murni. I would definitely go back there for a meal or two before I go to the states because the food there is as good as all my friends said it was and the menu is just full of variety.

Our final day was spent mostly in cars, buses, and planes. We took an AirAsia flight back to Penang and that was it. I'm definitely going to visit KL again before I leave this country and next time I'll include Genting Highlands in my plans. I'm also hoping to be able to visit Sabah and Sarawak.

This is by far the longest post ever this year and I'll leave you guys with some of the pictures I took. Till my next post, bye. =)


Lucifer~!

SHINee recently made their comeback about two weeks ago with their title track Lucifer dominating the charts. At least that's what I think. Anyway the song has nothing to do with the Lucifer from the bible.

I don't think there's much to talk about here except the fact that I'm totally hooked on this song. I'm loving the dance as well. So here's the MV for Lucifer by SHINee:


This is a video of SHINee's dance practice. You might noticed the slight difference in the moves and the song arrangement. This video was probably taken during the recording period of the album and therefore the boys had to work with the unfinished song.

Message from the Blogger...

I know it has been awhile since I've updated this little space of mine but I promise more updates to come.

I have just returned from a trip to Kuala Lumpur and I regret to say there weren't many pictures taken. In fact, the pictures taken weren't exactly pretty either. But I will update.

I will also plan a project which involves photography and videos. Maybe a round island trip to capture the best of my home state and videos to keep me busy?

I'm also looking for a job. The current ideal part-time job would be at Borders but I'm not too sure yet. A friend of mine has some media related job that might be available for me so I'm waiting to know more about that.

Till my updates decide to appear, I guess I'll see you guys soon. If you guys are still reading this wreck of a blog. =)

mak mai mak mai ai mai mi mai...

Ignore the stupid title..

I love 4Minute.. More than Black Pearl but that's not the point.. I My Me Mine is a song with good beats and I'm hooked on it.. The fact that Jeon Jiyoon has more parts now than Kim Hyuna is also a BIG bonus.. Jiyoon's solo dance part is nice and I have switched from team Hyuna to team Jiyoon.. Ok there were no teams to begin with but you get the picture..


Jiyoon also sang a duet with Gayoon on MBC Radio recently.. It was a cover of Beyonce's If I Were A Boy.. Please Jiyoon, dont be a boy.. =D

If you ignore some of the bad pronunciation, I think they both sang the song well.. I've always thought that Jiyoon was made a rapper in 4Minute because she had no vocals.. But in fact, she's the second best singer in the group..

I love Black Pearl..!! OK no, just Oh Nami..

Yes the Korean frenzy is back.. Black Pearl's first comeback stage was on Music Core and although they cut the song short, they were still awesome.. Well actually just Nami.. She's the short-haired brunette if you're wondering.. They debuted as an RnB group so I guess they cant dance much.. LOL..


<3

OH NAMI..!!

Curse of the Black Pearl..

OK its not a curse at all.. Black Pearl is an idol group in Korea who debuted in the same year as Girls Generation and Wonder Girls. Unfortunately, they were outshone by the two most popular groups in South Korea..

Anyway here's their song Go Go Ssing.. Its so upbeat and cheerful it might just cure my muscle aches.. LOL
