So the last month had drained me out. My husband decided I needed to do absolutely nothing for a few days. Our relationship, time and communication outside of work was down to zero. I had planned a trip to KL for a couple of work meetings. So he said I should organize my meetings or anything work related in the earlier part and for the rest of the trip I should just stop thinking. Clear the head. Sometimes it’s good to take time off from each other. I almost didn’t want to go but he ordered nondescriptly, “Go to KL, get fat and come back retarded.” A plan it was then. 4 days in Kuala Lumpur.

My brother’s job was to drive me around and feed me!

With more time on my hands, I managed to catch up with as many friends just floating with the flow. Coincidentally, Rina and Ian was also in KL over that weekend to attend an electronic festival at KLPAC. Since my brother was leaving to Malacca for shoot on Sunday morning, I joined Rina and Ian to sleep over at Emmy’s from Saturday night onwards. Last few trips to KL was always touch and go for work – everything was an inevitable rush. This time, I managed to enjoy Kuala Lumpur at my own pace which allowed me to submerge myself with the environment to imagine living and working there. Well… definitely not in KL itself but considerable with the likes of Damansara.

But because I was all excited sometimes I forgot to take pictures – of the siput buluh, cockles cooked in some sort of sauce, pesto chicken sandwich from Wondermilk and hmmm… Basil! Not basil the herb but Basil the dude.

    Looks like you’ve finally managed some down-time. Cutting loose agrees with you, buddy. And the food! I’m having a major craving for Nasi Padang at the moment. In a packet and all mixed together. Yumms! Droolsome.

    And was that the seafood place in front of the Vistana Hotel? Dad had a phase where he’d take us there like- EVERYDAY. Fair enough, since we were practically living there at the time. I miss the Ikan Tiga Rasa and the Steamed Fish. Good stuff! BOOO! I wanna go home!

    We shall go on a food rampage when I get back, mmm-kay? Hungry, dah!
