KL Aventure - Day Eleven to Day Fourteen

Day 11 – KL – Pavilion
Today was my first day alone in Malaysia. It wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. I took a taxi to pavilion and made it to sunageiwang shopping centre and I didn’t get lost once! It was good. I did quite a bit of shopping, mainly souvenirs. Just as I was about to leave to return to Midvalley, it was raining! =(. I was about to get into a taxi but he wanted to charge me 20RM! I was like NO WAY. Managed to get another one which only cost me 12RM. Glad I didn’t get ripped off. After putting my shopping away I went down to get some food…ended up doing a little bit more shopping before going to the hairdressers and straightened my hair for 200RM. They did a pretty good job. I’m quite pleased with it, although I know they probably over charged me, but in Aussie Dollars, it was only $66 which is so cheap. So I didn’t mind. I just wanted my hair straight, because I was so sick of waking up and having half straight half wavy hair due to my layers. Now it’s all straight. =). Then I just relaxed at starbucks using the internet to check my emails. I’m planning to go to Sunway Shopping Centre tomorrow to continue my shopping =) hehe. Still got to get myself some converse, some work shoes and jeans. Then everything else will be a bonus =) hehe.
Day 12 – KL – Sunway
Went to Sunway Pyramid shopping Centre today. Didn’t realize I would finish my shopping so early, as I got back to Cititel by 3pm. Then lazed around in my hotel room for a bit before coming out to starbucks to use the internet. Might go see a movie later to kill some time. I know theres a lot of things that I should do, that I haven’t but a little scared to do them alone. Haha. I’m satisfied with just shopping. Haha. So I didn’t see anything or do anything interesting today. Although I found it funny how my taxi driver back to the hotel kept saying yam instead of Jam…I think that’s what he was saying coz he kept saying te highway was “very yam” and he liked honking at people a lot. Lol. My first taxi driver to sunway was strange too, he asked for an Australian coin coz he was collecting them. He was very friendly though. His name was “uncle sam” haha. Funny. But yea. I was a little nervous, coz they were too friendly…LOL. Makes me wonder if they have an alternative motive. One bad thing that happened to me today was I bought these shorts, but they wouldn’t let me try them on, but I got a medium size thinking it would fit, it fit around my neck too, but…it turned out it was a tad too small. Stupid lady. Luckily it only cost me 15 RM haha. So shall have to give it to one of my cousins. I really liked the design too >_< it’s either that or lose some weight! Haha. I also got my jeans today. Bought 2. They’re very tight fitting, but that’s what I like about them, because after a while I know they’ll loosen up and will become just perfect to wear.  got some work shoes today too! Wearing them tomorrow to stretch them out. I also increased my luggage space to 30kg. I thought I had 25 but turned out I only had 20 LOL. So was lucky. Well I’m off to go and do some more wondering around megamall.
Day 13 – KL - MidValley
Slept in until 11am today. Doesn’t seem like sleeping in, but compared to my usual 10am it was. Haha. I did some last minute shopping at Megamall. Because it’s Saturday, the shopping centre was a lot more packed than usual. Everywhere I went there were heaps of people. -__-“; In preparation for the New Years, I got to see the dragon dance, although I had to use my camera to see it, because I was too short and there were just too many people. Now I’m just resting up in my hotel, before dinner time. Thinking of having sushi, hmm yummm! The only thing I haven’t bought that I’ve wanted to, is my converse shoes. Hoping Pavilion will have my size tomorrow. I just want plain black ones. Hopefully I will be able to get some before leaving Malaysia. I also ended up watching a movie at the cinema last night, I know its lame I went by myself, but I couldn’t resist seeing it was only 12RM, which is $4 AUD! Can’t beat that! Was going to watch another one today, but the line was just too long. I ended up seeing Tangled. I LOVED it!
Day 14 – KL – Last day of KL
Had a relaxing day just doing last minute shopping at Megamall, then chilling at Starbucks in borders until about 3pm before heading out to Pavilion. Traffic was bad, as it took just over 30 minutes to get there when it should’ve only been about 15 to 20 minutes! Suppose it was because it was Sunday and with Chinese new years coming out, everyone was out and about. Seems my friends had been held up by traffic too as we were meant to meet at 4pm, but ended up meeting at about 5pm. We made our way to sungeiwang for them to do their last minute shopping as well. I also managed to get some few bits and pieces. Also got some “converse” styled shoes. Not the original, but it was close enough. Haha. Material wasn’t as good as converse though. Shall have to buy proper ones when I get back to Melbourne. We were at Sungeiwang until about 7.30pm before making our way to LCCT airport. Everything went smoothly. My Suitcase only weighed 20.9kg! I should’ve stuffed more. Haha. Plain ride was very uncomfortable. I was sitting down for so long my back and ass hurt. Will be landing in Melbourne soon. First thing I do when I get home is have a shower, unpack and then sleep! Then I’ll probably check my emails, go through my photos, work on the video and wait for tomorrow to come. I’m looking forward to seeing my family again. Missing them, even though I was only gone for about 2 weeks. Will be looking forward to eating my mums food!
