Long break is over and another break is coming. It's holiday.

Yeah, it is now 2011. People always said, " the older you are, the wiser you gets. Hmm, still in a confusion of that. This time I've been to KL. Journey to KL was really amazing. We missed the bus then we need to wait for another bus. It was a hard decision on that previous day where we decided whether to go to Kuala Lumpur or not.
      Reach KL around 2315. Thought of using the LRT on that night but the station was closed. So we decided to took a cab from Bukit Jalil to KL Sentral. Taxi fare at that time is RM25.00. We were greeted by Andy's sister and her boyfriend. They brought us to eat at the mamak stall. We went back to a hotel called Hotel Lido. It was cheap though for a hotel in the middle of the city for only RM70.00. Glad to have a place to stay on that night.
     The first day has passed. Wake up in the morning with the bustling sound of the vehicles that passed by our hotel. It was around 0800. After get our self ready, we checked out from the hotel and proceed to KL Sentral to put our baggage in a locker for safe keeping. After that, we went to Mid Valley for our breakfast and went shopping there. I called Ben to followed me since Ben was in KL, studying at University Malaya. He's one of my best friend when I was going back to Kuching. We met at the monorail station and proceed to Mid Valley. The shops were not open. Fortunately, Giant stall gave us breakfast. Although it's kinda expensive for RM 2.90 per mee, but at least we're full. Andy order one whole roasted chicken and it was yummy.
      I asked Ben to go to Lowyat with me. There I bought my lens. EF 75-300mm USM III and Nissin Speedlite Di622 Mark II. My money getting less and less and I need to keep on tight budget. Hopefully, I can still survive till May.
