Back from my powertrip to KL!
Rushed off to KL on Tuesday,
After a powerlunch with B,
And a job interview with BSLD.
Despite having a bad gut feeling about the interview,
It actually went quite well.
I arrived in KL close to midnight,
To meet Audrey and gang at The Social,
All of them completely pissed.
The place is really lively,
And the Bangsar Village area,
Gave me that Holland Village feeling.
Headed to Enigma with Audrey and Tracey,
For more whiskeys.
I think I am bad with whiskeys.
I always feel queasy and sick,
After only 5 drinks.
Doesn't help that these Malaysians,
Drink helluvalot of whiskey,
And they swear by mixing it with water,
To maintain the purity of its taste.
After a wonderful supper of Bak Kut Teh,
We drove to my home for 2 nights.
Audrey put me up with her god-sister,
Who looks younger and more innocent than she really is.
Wild cat alert!
Despite sleeping at 7am,
I woke up at 11am,
Unable to go back to sleep.
At times like these,
I always think of Celine -
She was the one who educated me,
About how alcohol disrupt sleep patterns.
I went for a haircut in the end,
At this shop called KNG.
The gay director gave me an interesting haircut,
That I wasn't sure if was good for me.
It is short all around,
Except for these little bundle at the back.
"You can tie it into a ponytail."
Well since I was the one who said,
He can pretty much do anything to my hair,
I don't think I should be complaining.
Afterall, it was a very skillful process!
That evening we decided to go for healthy activities.
We (Audrey, Tracey, Rhine and I) had steamboat dinner,
Then headed to KLCC for 'teenager activities'.
We ate ice-cream, took pictures, watched Transformers...
Basically things that people do when they were 16 and dating.
We took so many crazy pictures at random locations,
And behaved like we were still in high school.
We finally gave in to having some alcohol,
When Rhine decided it would be really nice,
To sit down at the public square,
And have white wine, strawberries and cream.
In the end, only Audrey and I went to Enigma (again).
And I discovered I can handle whiskey much better,
If I changed the mixer to Coke.
The next morning I rushed to Bangsar,
As I had wanted to take First Coach back to Novena.
But it was totally full,
Which set me in a panic mood.
Rushing to Puduraya,
I told the lady at the first counter that was empty,
To get me the immediate bus ticket out of KL -
If I didn't leave by noon,
I would have to miss hanging out with Bin!
(And we know that doesn't happen so often,
So it is really important that I make it back in time)
Fortunately it all worked out.
I slept the whole 5 hours on the bus,
And woke up feeling super queasy.
I am inclined to believe,
I have a love-hate relationship with rush.
