Kuala Lumpur

After six long months of sitting around and doing nothing, I've finally made it here. It's about time, I say. Sure, it's struck me (not that hard, admittedly) that I won't be seeing everyone back home for quite some time, but I'm looking forward to seeing how things go. I have a theory that the reason I'm not the least bit crushed by my departure is because of all the bumming.

See, bumming provides time. Lots and lots and lots of time. And in that time, without a job or proper task on hand, I thought a lot. About what? Many things. A great many things. Thereby leading to an eagerness to leave. And so I have. So yes, end of theory.

Anyways. The plane here, an Air Asia flight, was... decent. And surprisingly pleasant, considering all that you hear and experience with Air Asia. Even the in-flight travel magazine done by them was rather good. It's come a long way since it first started out. No delays, good service from good-looking stewardesses (always a plus) and quite a few empty seats. No crying babies or whatnot. Landed at the LCC. What it stands for, I can't say, but I'm sure there's a low cost in there somewhere... Its in KLIA, just... rundown. And stuffed with Air Asia flyers. All that aside, landed, sister wasn't there, made a call, and bought my very first Malaysian purchase.

Coffee.

Good coffee, from Coffee Bean. And it cost me ten ringgit. A vanilla cafe latte. Small too. But I digress. Sister finally came, and I went to my new home. And then went to sleep. One thing I'll say about my room is that it has an air-conditioner... A blessing I've not had for a long time. Got up late, sister left for work... Had the day (yesterday) to myself. Bummed around at home for a bit, then went to Midvalley Megamall.

It's a big place, my friends. Again, Brunei's "Malls" will never ever be considered a mall by any tourist from most any other developed country ever. Went there, and bought an Aunty Anne's pretzel. For 6.50. Not bad. The food in KL (and food's always close to my heart) is excellent. The food at the malls is expensive, but good... Whenever I make a purchase here, I wince as I pay. The bills here can reach pretty high. Anyways, went around the mall. There is an abundance of clothes shops here. The shops are something like this: clothes clothes clothes restaurant clothes clothes something else clothes clothes clothes. Well, maybe not that bad, but you get the picture. All in all a good day. My final purchase for the day was...

A Carl's Jr. burger.

If you don't know what that is, ask Tim. The prices range from 11 to 25 ringgit for a single, huge, meaty burger, that tastes absolutely excellent. I felt bad after buying it, but when its that good... who cares?

So yes, went to the Mamak after that, had a drink and chat with my sister and Pravind (the guy she's been with for a long, long time). Mamak food's good. And affordable too, at least, compared to food at the malls. I have a feeling Mamak food'll be what I subsist on for... a long time. Went back and slept.

Today, I am alone. My sister left, and she'll be back on Monday. Alone in KL for the weekend. I think I'll be fine. Took a walk around the area, but other than that, not much happened today. It was during lunch that I decided to go ahead and start a blog. So yeah.

That's all for now. Alot yes, but expect more like it.

Cheers.
