What a weekend.

Sigh another boring day at the office, i hope that this week won't be a repeat of last week though because if it is i think i'll ask someone to shoot me to end my misery. The office is so boring theres rarely anyone here to begin with, fortunately today there are two other colleagues here with me else i'll be alone....again. I had a somewhat interesting and very expensive weekend, where i spend like rm100 in two days, or close to that anyway i kinda lost count. And all that money going to 1 dinner, 1 convention and 2 yum cha sessions. Yep just those and my wallet became 100 bucks lighter, damn.

Well i don't really mind spending for the food, so i'll just strike that out. But the convention which was the KLIMS '06 (Kuala Lumpur International Motor Show) was a complete con job and a total waste of money and time. If i had known that this years motor show was gonna be just that i never would have went, there was nothing nice to see in the first place...It was like the exact same cars as the previous year cept with maybe 1 or 2 difference or so only, and i had to pay like 20 bucks to see what i've already seen last year.

The two yum cha session was on the same day i might add, once in the early evening where i went to starbucks for a drink right after the motor show. The place was so packed and i didn't get anything to drink so my friends and i decided to just drop by, sit down relax and grab a drink la. It wasn't really too bad of an idea also la considering i was meeting up with someone there as well who happened to be working at KLIMS, unfortunately though i kinda feel bad for not being able to send that particular friend home, seeing as how the person wasn't feeling too well and had to eventually take the train back...poor thing.

Later that night a bunch of us decided to go up to genting, i was really enthusiastic about it too since i haven't been there for an awfully long time and considering how i love cold weather it was definately a good place to visit from the norm. Since i don't gamble the only thing i actually do there is have long walks and drink coffee so thats where the other yum cha session came in, another round of starbucks. Where we sat for like 3 to 4 hours playing monopoly, thats was funny though because there were 3 of us and 2 of us were 'pakating' to kill off the other guy, too bad i didn't really have the chance to gloat over my victory because we were interrupted and that really just spoiled everything.

Eventually we started our journey down the mountain at roughly 4am++, i can't really remember as i wasn't really looking at the time. I got home at 7am, yeah yeah i know the journey down doesn't really take that long but you see the driver of the car didn't check the car before we headed up, and little did we know that the radiator didn't have water so even when we were heading down hill with the cold weather all the engine manage to overheat and we had to pull over. To cut the story short we were saved by a friends girlfriend and her friends who happen to be up there as well, but not before we experienced more problems la...well eventually everything worked out and we got back home safe and sound approximately 3 hours later, interesting weekend for a change...it was fun, hey when we gonna do that again? hahaha. Wimal might probably talk more about our ordeal with some pictures when he updates so go check it out.
