Rose is back from KL! Totally enjoyed the trip, though there were times when not everyone was happy. I guess that’s the problem with traveling with too many parties. The most stressed one I guess was Bubbles, bcos she had to take care of her 3 friends, as well as, ME.
We took the 8am coach on Friday. The coach was ok. Got toilet one, but we did not dare to use it. The seats were quite spacious. Fade was cool throughout the journey; Bubbles and Rose kept talking and laughing along the way. They served us mee goring, which was not very delicious. After like 3-4 hours, we all got tired and slept for the remaining journey.
We reached KL at about 1pm. Blueman was supposed to fetch us from the coach dropoff point, but he was nowhere in sight. Bubbles and Fade called him and his reply was always ‘on the way’. Okkkkkkkkkk… Thought his office was near the coach station? Hehehe. Ok, I know how bad the jam in KL can be, so I did not comment lor. Finally when Blueman showed up, we were a little hungry already. He wanted to bring us for this very famous Char Siew, but when he found the way to it, it was CLOSED! Exactly the same period as IMF, so we assumed they were invited to the conference ^_^. He wanted to bring us to this other place, but then got a little lost, so we settled for beef noodles at Jalan Alor. Not too bad, but Bubbles had not much appetite. I ate like a pig…..
After that, we checked into the hotel. We stayed at the Regent, which was right smacked in the tourist shopping area. Just a stone’s throw away from Bukit Bintang. Bubbles and I washed up and went shopping. Fade wanted to rest, so we left him in the hotel. Bubbles was very targeted, she just wanted to see Vincci and Mango and Seed. She bought a very nice tube top from Mango, but did not see anything else she fancied from elsewhere. Rose bought 2 pairs of shoes from Vincci. That’s about it. Basically did not do much serious shopping la.
Rose was supposed to meet up with Mr. A for dinner on Friday, but he flew me a big 747, so Rose joined Bubbles and her friends for dinner instead. Luckily I made that decision, if not I would have missed out a not-too-bad meal, and an experience of an over RM1000 dinner. Blueman brought us to this Italian restaurant in Jalan Alor. It was just a small place, but very exclusive. We had LOTS of meat. Salty meat. And I had lots of wine. I think I had about 4-5 glasses in all? Blueman’s friend Sleeper and brother Soon, joined us after that. Bubbles had heard a lot about this Sleeper. He had this weird illness that sounded rather dangerous to me – the sleeping bug can catch him anytime, anywhere. He can just fall into deep sleep any moment. Even when he is eating or driving…. Dangerous right? Sleeper speaks with a strong British accent. Basicaly Rose’s impression of him wasn’t too good. Bubbles agreed that he was rather AA – attract attention. But super generous. He footed the bill at the restaurant, which we felt bad about, bcos he arrived late and only had leftovers.
After dinner, we headed for this Jazz pub called No Black Tie, also in Jalan Alor. Basically Rose does not know how to appreciate such high class music, so was quite bored hahahah. But still kept drinking whiskey coke. Blueman kept refilling my glass, and I kept drinking. I haven’t drank so much for a very long time. By the time we left the place, I was ¾ drunk already. Blueman brought us for supper at this wanton mee place. There was road block on the way, but luckily, Bubbles was sober. As in not that Blueman was not sober, but Bubbles did not drink any alcohol mah, so even if kenna stopped and checked, wouldn’t kenna fined or charged. Rose fell into a deep sleep after washing up on the first night in KL.
Day 2 – Supposed to go up to Genting. This was something not everyone was happy about, but I guess someone had to be accommodating, right? Fade wanted to go up to gamble, so up we went. We woke up at about 9, went for breakfast at Bukit Bintang. Bak Kuh Teh was nice. Fade packed duck noodles for Blueman, who was still snoozing in bed. Bubbles and Rose went for some last minute shopping.
Fade’s friend was supposed to drive us up. Appointed time was 12.30pm, then became 1pm. But at 1.30pm, we were still waiting at the lobby. All of us were getting impatient. Finally, they arrived… in a 5 seater. There were 6 of us, so 4 of us had to squeeze at the back. Blueman had long legs, so it was a bit torturing for him. Fade was also suffering from a one-sided-purple butt. Bubbles had insisted that both of us sit comfortably.
Genting was not a good trip for Rose. It brought back not too pleasant memories. Plus there was nothing much to do up there. My anti-socialness crept in silently, and I just wanted to get away from the casino. Athough I knew Bubbles wanted to stay, she kept me company. Blueman joined us after a while, and we went to Coffeebean to relak. Blueman is a fun guy to be with, or maybe bcos I am Bubbles’ good friend so he treated me quite nice la. Hahahaha. He is a joker and made me laugh a lot. Bubbles made Fade agree to leave at 5.30. He had lost quite abit, so maybe it was a good thing Bubbles insisted too. Fade’s friends had something to attend to so he went with them. Blueman, Bubbles and Rose went back to the hotel and prepared for dinner. In actual fact, Rose wanted to dress up more and put on some make up for the partying la. Shhhhhhhhhh...
Sleeper came to pick us up, and we had this super nice Korean meal at Jalan Andamas (?). Bubbles wanted to bring me to do some serious partying, cos she felt bad about the Jazz place the night before. She had promised me the clubbing scene, and she wanted me to enjoy. I did not stop her cos I knew that if I don’t let her be, she would feel bad. But I was feeling anti-social still. Maybe Mr. A affected me a little. Just maybe…
We headed for Velvet Underground at abut 11pm. The place was freaking cold. I was like shivering the moment we stepped in. But as the crowd came in, and as the booze took effect, I started to warm up. Rose and Bubbles started dancing. And Rose continued drinking. As I picked up my Who-knows-its-my-number-what glass, Blueman whispered to me ‘That bottle costs a freaking $800’. I nearly spat out whatever was in my mouth. $800???? Do we need such an expensive drink??? BUT, Sleeper picked up the tab again. At first Rose felt a little paiseh, cos she has not offered to pay for anything for the trip. It was either Fade, Blueman or Sleeper who paid. Bubbles paid for the Korean dinner. But then again I thought they must be doing this all the time, so WTH, just eat and drink and be merry la.
Rose was almost gone by the time we left Velvet. But I made myself walk as straight as possible. Bubbles had wanted supper, but Rose couldnt, really couldn’t do it. Bubbles washed up a little and went to look for Blueman. But Rose could hear her come back after a short while. She said Blueman was gone too. Hahhaha… I was not the only one.
The next morning we had to catch the 10am coach so woke up early to wash up and pack. Bubbles said she had a disturbed night, bcos Rose grinds her teeth! Hahaha… Sorry, I should have warned you beforehand.
We went for breakfast – Bak Kuh Teh again. I didn’t mind bcos I needed something warm for my booze-filled stomach. Then Blueman sent us to the bus station before returning the car to his office. Then he came back to meet us. The coach set off punctually. This time, Bubbles and Rose slept most of the journey. Guess we were both tired.
Overall Rose had fun in KL. Bubbles smsed me that she was apologetic if the trip had not turned out as fun as promised, but I did not feel so. Maybe just that there were too many ‘strangers’ involved, and too many obligations to fulfill, thus creating some kind of tension (that was my reply to her too). I also felt that Bubbles had somewhat too high expectations of her friends, therefore felt a little disappointed. Plus she had me to take care of. She kept worrying about me. I am/was apologetic about that. But I knew if I declined her concern, she wouldn’t have felt at ease, so I accepted it. I could have made things better, if not for my anti-socialness. Well, next time la. I am sure I will improve hehehe.
Yes, I enjoyed my trip! Look forward to our next trip together!
