Coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous

When marimba rhythms start to play, dance with me, make me sway.
Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore, hold me close, sway me more.
Like a flower bending in the breeze, bend with me, sway with ease.
When we dance you have a way with me, stay with me, sway with me.
Other dancers may be on the floor Dear, but my eyes will see only you.
Only you have the magic technique When we sway I go weak.
Michael Buble; Sway.

Singaporeans should STOP complaining about our way of life (eg transport system, level of efficiency etc..).

You'll get what I mean when you travel to less efficient countries like KL and really appreciate how good Singapore is.

KL should only be visited for shopping and eating.
The other states like Malacca are all right, but KL is shocking!

Everything else is pretty much -_- , Sunway Lagoon was all right though if you're into theme park rides.

Taxi drivers: BAD BAD BAD. Rude, weird and totally shocking!! They don't want to have you as passengers even if you are willing to pay. Very odd. Its as if YOU are doing them a favor instead of it being the other way round.

Customer service: SHOCKING. They can hold up an entire queue just debating over something small! Efficiency is ZERO. Even at Mac Donalds, you have to wait in line for at least 15 minutes to be served and wait another 10 minutes to get your food. Multi-tasking seems to be near impossible for them. They much rather chit chat by the fries station, waiting for it to be ready then get the other food (e.g drinks, burger).

Toilets: You have to pay 0.30 Ringgit every time you wish to visit the bathroom in shopping centers. Fair enough if they are abit runned down, but even at classier shopping centers, you still have to pay!! Its weird, its like paying to go to the bathroom at Paragon or Tanglin!!
The female toilet at the budget terminal HAD A BLACKOUT!! We had to use our handphones to guide us. SHOCKING.

Airport: The International one seems nice, but I can't really judge because we were only at the ground level. We took the KLIA Express ($35 Ringgit) from one of the trains stops to get to the airport, and then transfer to a coach (which we had to pay an additional $1.50 Ringgit for) to get to the budget terminal. KLIA Express was all right, relatively comfortable seats. The journey on KLIA Express was about 30 mins so $35 Ringgit was all right I suppse, cause its quite far.
The journey from KLIA to the budget terminal is further from my house to the airport, which I find amusing.
The budget terminal is a far cry from the International airport terminal! Very runned down, very... "anyhow". If it was an ulu part of Malaysia, and the airport looked like that, fair enough, but this is only the budget side of KL's International Airport! No wonder its so far away from the International wing! Probably didn't want to spend as much on the budget terminal, and one way to avoid a direct comparison? Situate it miles and miles away from the International airport!

Haha, I know it seems like I'm very picky and always complaining, but seriously!! You need to experience it to know what I mean! Espcially when you're coming from Singapore where everything is very much on-the-ball, clean and all.
I LOVE SINGAPORE TAXI UNCLES!!!
I'm so so glad I went with an enjoyable group of people, or this trip would have been disasterous. My blood would have DOUBLE BOILED.
Retail therapy was also rewarding, so that was good. =)
We stayed at my uncle's place and that was a bonus, easily accessible and in the heart of the city.

Pictures when I get them!!!
