Back in SG!.


Yay finished posting! So many pix! First time process and upload so many at one time sia. Was great spending time and travelling in KL wit everyone. Bargaining at Petaling and other street vendors was fun and funny sometimes. Of course good food and cheaper prices always makes me happy!

First time go watch MotoGP. K1 Grandstand Tickets at RM30 was very cheap considering the amount of things to see there. The race itself was nth much imo watching on the TV is better but the after race sales/programme/shows were already worth more than RM30 to see. Too bad we got in late this year. Maybe next year go in watch again this time the full event. heheh!

Kinda miss KL already, when i came back SG everything seemed expensive all of a sudden!
My also body clock quite screwed after the trip! Yawnzzzzzz.
