The Ascott Kuala Lumpur

There are 3 public holidays in a row May 1, 2, and 3 so we took our first trip. We drove from our home in Penang to KL (as they call it here), which was about a 3.5-hour drive. We stayed in a great hotel called The Ascott that had a pool on the rooftop giving us an amazing view of the adjacent Petronas Towers (yes, the ones in that movie with Cathrine Zeta-Jones). During the week we hit the KLCC (Kuala Lumpur City Center) where Fashion week was going on. April watched a few fashion shows and ...

After staying up for our short but uncomfortable flight, we have finally arrived here in KL... something really nice for a change.. The newly opened terminal 3 flying out of the Philippines is really awesome btw. We had a nice chat with our cab driver, Asmi, he was ok. We asked him several things about the weather and the traffic flow since we were flying out this afternoon. We arrived in the city really late, 0145h and found Chach, waiting for us at the lobby of Ascott. Just some chitchat be...

Gracee and I spent the morning exploring KL city center before our flight via MH that afternoon.

We were dwarfed by the massive s...

We said our good byes to the wonderful Island of the Gods and we are back in KL. We flew again and again, I was going crazy, I still hate flying and I didn't enjoy this one. Good thing we were next to an interesting person, whom we talked to, Johann from France. When we got to KL, we had lunch at the airport and we basically bummed around the hotel and slept and waited for Chach to come home. That guy is so unpredictable, he could be really bad and really sweet within a few seconds. He made u...

I woke up forgetting the previous night's events... and then i realized.... i think my camera's busted!!! i went to get my charger and tried to plug it in the only compatible outlet in the entire suite which was on the floor beside the work station. Chach found me there sitting on the floor and asked how I was feeling, he said he was just checking on me, come back to bed.... ok... i'm having one of those "feel good" moments again. So I went back to bed again. I was badly hung over (again, omg...

I been in and out of this country for almost a year.
