First post in 2008 on last trip of 2007

It's been a long time since we went on a trip.
Our last trip to KL was close to a year ago.
He's very excited about this trip.
Hasn't had a break since he started teaching 9 months ago.

This trip to KL was pretty relaxing.
Not much of a mad rush trying on clothes
and hunting for clothes that fit.
In terms of shopping, he managed to get what he wanted -

2 PSOne dance mats
For his nephew and niece (supposedly)
- My human and his friend were the first to use the mats
on the day of their return.

Music Books
Found some reference books at Kinokuniya for his paper.
He went wild at Chamber Music at Sungei Wang.
Found some music scores that were
not easily obtainable in Singapore, and at a good price too.
He felt bad though,
that his friend had to wait for more than an hour
while he rummaged through the store.

It's a must-do for my human and his friends
to watch whatever's showing at the Imax
- huge screen, booming sound.
My human and his friends caught AVP2.
A little disappointing though,
since most of the scenes were dark,
and it wasn't digital, so the effect was slightly less than desired.
But overall quite ok.
Oh, and I think munching on all that popcorn
made my human a little ill...
*cough*
Wanted to watch a 3-D film on the Great Barrier Reef,
but didn't manage to.

Anyway, the rest of the time in KL was spent
stuffing themselves.
Had a great time at a japanese buffet.
Much more value for money
than the one they went to on the previous trip.
Some Jap buffet at Starhill. This was so much better.

The last few days in Malaysia were spent in
Malacca - the historic town.
They didn't do much sight-seeing,
just chilling at their friend's place.
Cool place to hang out.
Interesting bathroom (and very huge too)

They tried KFC which is supposed to taste better,
which of course made my human's cough and sore throat worse.
They also spent a day at a private club (Malacca Club)
My human was in the pool most of the time
while his friends were playing tennis.
They managed to turn on the water for the water slide
and had quite a bit of fun acting like children....
Relaxing New Year's Eve....

Dinner was at a famous Nonya Restaurant. Food was good,
and price was very reasonable.
Went back to change to paint the town red,
but they couldn't find a place to hang out in town.
Subsequently, they met some friends who brought them to this club,
with quite cool deco and people. But music was quite crap.
Looks like an AJ club, but apparently, pple there are not....
Well, humans have different faces
and lead different lives I guess.
They had their lame countdown there and headed home soon after.

Time to return back to reality on New Year's Day.
My human was quite ill already. Cough and a very bad throat.
Throughout the trip, he was feeling rather lethargic,
could be fever building up.

2nd Day of the New Year now....
My human is still recovering from his illness.
Cancelled some students in the morning.
He's thinking of doing the same for the rest of the day....

Rest well, my human....
