About Our Trip (Part 2)

My previous post ended off with our escapades with the dead rat. Heh... Well, here's part 2 of April's and her exciting trip to KL...

DAY 2 - SATURDAY, 29 JANUARY

The noise...
Since we didn't get to club the night before, we showered and dragged our butts down to Zouk where we met Bryant and his friend Eric for a drink. We tried, and failed miserably, to enjoy the thumping, pounding beat of the music DJ Crush was slamming out. I could practically feel my brain melt and leak out of my ears in long, gooey, purple drips. We ended up at the Terrace Bar listening to old-school 80s music and sipping our 2nd drink instead. :)

The gushing...
I can still remember the 1st thing Bryant said when he saw me. It went something like, "Omigod the concert omigod omigod omigod. He was sooooooooooo good!" Hahaha... We then proceeded to gush and simper and squeal about all our favorite bits of the performance for the next 15 minutes.

The Bah Kut Teh...
By 230, we were more than prepared to leave and adjourn to Jalan Alor for supper. Although most of the stalls were already closed by the time we arrived, we still managed to enjoy chicken satay, porridge and the yummiest Bah Kut Teh I've had in a long time. It was especially heavenly for my poor throat, which was all sore and hoarse from the screaming I did at the concert. The rest of the night passed in a sort of blur. I was so fatigued from our day I can barely recall cabbing back to the hotel, packing, washing up and collapsing into bed.

DAY 3 - SUNDAY, 30 JANUARY

The coffee shop...
We slept in till 11.30, checked out and had a quick lunch at a nearby coffee shop before we left for Petaling Jaya. It was good... The chicken rice and roast pork I had was awfully yummy, which means I ate way more than I should have. I rationalized it by saying that I lost at least 3 pounds from the night before. Hee...


We also saw a promotion poster for the concert, although some idiot had tried to be funny and given Jay a moustache that made him look like a Japanese mafia member. Dohhh... Hahaha...

The shopping continues...
We reached 1 Utama at about 130. In a nutshell, we went a little mad doing our last minute shopping. I ended up with yet another pair of shoes from Vinci, 2 t-shirts and a pair of shorts from WH and a really cute halter top from some little shop. After having coffee at Dome, we decided to leave, head back to Dorsett to pick up our bags and catch our 515 bus back to Singapore. Gave ourselves a bit of a scare because we couldn't get a cab, the sky was threatening to unleash a massive thunderstorm and traffic looked horrendous. Thankfully, we managed to reach the bus departure point with time to spare (Even with Jas and her missing phone charger!), where we boarded the bus and promptly fell asleep for most of the journey back...

The end...
And so the tale ends with our 4 heroines coming back to another week at work. Yet more FAs to disk out, more crazy deadlines to meet, more unreasonable and fussy clients to pacify, more gritting our teeth and bearing with it all till we go on leave on the 7th of February. I'm counting the days already...
