Zhen de ai qing

what a day! Tiring yet fulfilling! I'm in Kuala Lumpur or K.L now, the capital city of Malaysia staying with my aunt. After eating Indian 'roti canai' this morning took a cab to the 'Curve' shopping centre, met my sister Ling and another childhood friend and sang k for 3 hours at Red Box. Really nice place, clean, non-smoky, good selection of songs. This place was good, seriously where else could you sing k for free (on the proviso you eat lunch there); sing the latest Jay Chou songs from November Chopin, Guy Sebastian's 'Angels brought me here' and Pussy Cat Doll's 'Dontcha wish your girlfriend' (with subtitles!). The following question was rhetorical but I imagine from what I hear that you could do all that at one of those uber trendy karaoke bars in Beijing.

K.L is a pretty happening place, its cosmopolitan, its metro, good food, huge shopping malls like the Curve and 1 utama and there's quite a lot you can do here. Went bowling at 1 utama today for only 9 malaysian ringgit for 2 games, had a pretty good day score wise but disappointing all the same. Scored 120 in my first round and around 117, so many wasted spares in my second game! 1utama has a pretty good video game arcade above the bowling alley 2. Played 3 player Konami's hyper bishi bashi Korean version which was heaps of fun.

So apart from the entertainment side of things it was equally as enjoyable to see old family friends again. Being here reminds me of my childhood, my roots and why I still have a desire to come back to live, whether or not on a temporary or permanent basis. I like both Sydney and Malaysia, miss the beaches, weather and outdoor life in Sydney, miss the family and culture here.
