Woo hoo, woo hoo, woo hoo!!!!! After seven months of traveling we were finally heading to Malaysia and Kuala Lumpur. This was a huge part of the trip for me if not so much for the place as the people. Three very special people to be exact. When my brother first moved to a town on the South Coast of England called Shoreham-By-Sea, he moved in with a couple called Karl and Jenni. Little did we know at the time, that it would be the start of some great friendships (that so far have lasted eight years and are set to continue). While Alan was living in Shoreham, I used to fly down from Glasgow to visit and had a ball every time. Meeting new friends, drinking, partying and fun, fun, fun. After I finished University ... read more

The first thing that hit us upon arriving in KL was how futuristic the airport was, which gave us a taster of what to expect for our time in KL. We had our bags wrapped in Phuket as we had heard stories of travellers bags being used by drug smugglers to traffic drugs in and out of countries around Asia. We were advised that if the wrapping had been damaged in any way when you get to the other side then not to touch them and get a security guard to check the bag with you. Surprise surprise when we approached our bags in the airport the wrapping had been damaged on both of them, thankfully all was ok. Although the security staff were pretty useless and didn't really understand what we were requesting. Considering you ... read more

Married on the 17th of June 2005 at the Lebanese Golf Club, we headed to Phoenicia Intercontinental hotel for our first night together in room 1724 on the seventeenth floor. We spent two marvelous days in the Phoenicia. Our room was decorated with candles, flowers and balloons. On Saturday, we did a ride with a convertible roadster ali rented as a surprise for me and had dinner in café Mondo, the Italian restaurant. Our Travel day was on Sunday 19 June 2005 from Rafic Hariri International Airport with Malaysian airlines, Flight number MH 157 at 15:10.

1:20 am, KLIA Sepang. God i'm damn jakun. Its been eleven years since i got on a plane that stays in flight for more than an hour. This trip however, will take six. Boy am i in for a ride! *Beep* goes the scanning machine as it approves my passport and opens the door to a new world. No, not china. A new side of KLIA i have not seen before. I was late as usual. My sister and I rushed into the train, stumbled over someones luggage as we got out and during all this, my jakunness was elevated a notch higher as i entered the terminal. I didn't know there were SHOPS here!? Sorry la. I have been to KLIA many many times before but not INSIDE the terminal, OK? We got on the ... read more

From the clean, quiet orderly streets of Wellington and Auckland to the crowded frenzy and humidity of Kuala Lumpur!! I initially arrived in Singapore but travelled straight to the capital as i have heard Singapore is very westernised and i was aiming for a culture shock so i took the crowded bus to KL. Sensual overload takes place as the smells of fried chicken from street vendors & car exhaust fumes fill the air, thousands of people line the frenzied disorganised streets all clamoring for space whilst there is a thunder & lightening show over the distant moutains on its way to light up & soak the city. Very exhausting getting about but was such good fun, every where you go your eyes are drawn to something, every taxi driver desperate to get your attention & ... read more

I left London in the pouring rain and arrived in KL to 30 degree heat and extreme humidity.... and it was only 9am in the morning. Ekk. I couldn't check into my hotel straight away so sought solace in the local Starbucks with an iced cappuccino - what can I say, it was air conditioned ;0) Hotel was lurvely - the posh kind with a concierge and a porter who whisks your bags away from you and makes them magically appear in your room later!! And then there was the roof top swimming pool and bar... ahhh.... made lots of use of that in the 3 days I stayed here.... alas isn't probably something I should be getting used to! I did squeeze in some sight seeing whilst I was here... partly thanks to the very ... read more
