My Story : Night Out Around Town

Yesterday evening I joined a small gathering with old friends from college at Suria KLCC. Spent the evening buka puasa updating each other's life and sharing info about other AIMians. I had a great evening with them...while at the same time watching the live telecast of Soyuz-TMA-11 launching, the rocket that carry Malaysia's first astronaut Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor from the TV screen at 4th floor RASA foodcourd. Yep...we were having our gathering at foodcourt and not in a buffet restaurant like we planned earlier.



I ate Asam pedas Wantan Mee with a glass of Ice Lemon Tea and a black coffee. The mee tasted "pelik" and I had hard time swollowing. Ended up eating just half of it. Not sure whether it was the excitement of chatting with friends or the mee is indeed taste a bad as it looked. Lucky me...the drinks covered it well...the coffee is good. Never like the fodcourt drink before but thumb's up for the Kopi O I had yesterday.

Came back home at 10 and out again around 10.30pm with my cousin Pidah. The plan was to picked up my other cousin Nurul who is coming back for Hari Raya at Puduraya station around 1:30am. We left early to window shopping at Jusco Maluri where I decided to have my second meal at McDonald. I was so hungry that I had large happy meal of BigMac. The actual "Large" in McD is pathetic. A large coke is actually just medium size and the fries were too thin. Maybe I'm saying this coz I'm a Whopper girl where large is large and big is big. Poor westerners who dine in McD expecting the large potion here is the same as the one in their countries. Ahhh..forget it.

Lets continue...spent time at McD til 12 then headed to Tesco Ampang where my cousin unintentionally bought herself window blinds. Left Tesco at 1am. Pidah (who was driving) felt very sleepy...made a quick stop at Mesra Petronas to buy our night booster Nescafe Original. After an instant "refreshing mind, body and eyes" we later took a night cruise around town from Jalan U-Thant to Jalan Ampang to Jalan Sultan Ismail to Jalan Bukit Bintang back to Jalan Sultan Ismail to Jalan Dang Wangi to Jalan Raja Laut to Jalan Kinabalu to Jalan Travers to Midvalley to Jalan Maarof to Jalan Parlimen and lastly to Jalan Tun Perak and waited for Nurul infront of Maybank Tower. She arrived around 2am and we went straight home.

Unfortunately my digicam's batery was dead flat I can't snap photos of beatiful KL and some interesting events that took place along our way like the empty street of Jalan Sultan Ismail, the massive traffic jam along Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman at 1:30am and vehicles from vans to 4 wheels to kancils parked on the road dividers near Campbell.

Back at home I forced myself to sleep with great difficulty. How can I sleep with Ice Lemon tea, Black coffee, Coke and Nescafe all consumed in less than 6 hours? Phenylalanine plus caffeine=increased energy level...what did I do with the excessive energy that I had? Channel it into cleaning and reshuffling stuffs in the kitchen til dawn. What a night/morning...
