I've been like in hell for the past weeks. I've been so hectically busy investigating an issue which drives me like crazy. What makes it worst is the people that I've worked with. It's so frustrating to know that the people who was supposed to help me with this issue, is not giving any help at all. Until now, we still haven't resolved the issue, yet, I've already found out the root cause. It's just that the affecting program is so critical that even a minor change would need thorough analysis and testing.

Though we're not yet through with this, I asked my manager to give me a short break. Luckily, he gave Friday and Monday off for me so I kinda have a long weekend. In time, my friend Hardus from UK is here in KL for a short vacation. So I can accompany him to roam around the place.

Last Thursday night, I went to Bukit Bintang in front of McDonalds to meet him for the very 1st time. Though we already chatted and saw each other's in cam several times, this would be our 1st time to see each other in person. When I came to the place, I saw this good looking white guy (*wink *wink) standing wearing a shirt and jeans and seem waiting for someone. I know it was him so I approached him and introduced myself. He greeted me with his big smile (kinda peculiar) haha. I know I sort of like amazed or worst scared him as he looks shocked. Oh well, I'm used with that kind of reaction :P.

Since it was a bit late, actually 12:30am is already late here; most of the restaurants and cafes were already closed so we just stayed in Planet Hollywood and grabbed something to drink. We chilled out and stayed there 'til about past 2am I guess just talking anything under the sun. After that, we strolled around Bukit Bintang area 'til we both get tired. Its funny because a lot of "bugaw" out there trying to offer him their "fresh" ladies... Yeah right, fresh as if hahaha. When we both get tired, we decided to call the night off.

The next day, I picked him up on his hotel and looked for a place where we can have a big breakfast and he can have a taste of Malaysian fancy food. But in my surprise, all canteens and food places were still closed so with no other choice we opted to go to McDonalds.

After breakfast, we went straight away to Batu Caves where we climbed more than 100 steps to reach the top. Exercise it is! Hehe. And along the way, we meet our friends (the monkeys! Oh they love Hardus a lot hehehe PEACE man!). After a couple of minutes and taking a couple of pictures we headed back down the stairs.

Next stop is Sunway Lagoon. This is unexpected. We never plan to go here but since we don't know yet where to go, we rid a cab off to Masjid Jamek station. From there we took the Star LRT up to Kelana Jaya station. From Kelana Jaya, we took a bus and alighted to Sunway Lagoon. That was also my first time to go there so we don’t know what to expect. But it's a theme park so we know there are rides in there. Also, water park where there's a huge pool and cater different water sports. Ok, since we're not prepared, we didn't bring anything other than ourselves, camera, and pocket money of course. But that didn't stop us from swimming! Hahaha. Just wearing our undies and shorts, we jump to the pool. He even tried body boarding. Damn, it looks so easy… but I don't wanna embarrass myself in front of the crowd so I just let him do that thing alone. I just watched him afar. After his attempt of body boarding which he managed to do it right at least hehe. We decided to go to the theme park and tried the rides like roller coaster and the likes. I didn't enjoy the rides much because they weren't that extremes but I enjoyed watching the people along with us especially the kids because they're so hilarious! Hehe. Around 6pm, we decided to go home. Still damped wet, we took a cab and went back to KL.

The next day, he flew to Labuan to visit a friend and see the beauty of the place as well. He'll be back to KL on Monday and probably will stay a few more days here before heading to Singapore.

Dude, I want to let you know that I really had a great time. Though short but heck of a fun. I am so happy that you manage to find time to see me here in KL most importantly I am happy to know you personally. You're such a wonderful guy with a big heart. I just hope that I made your stay here pleasant and memorable. I hope you also had a wonderful time.

Thanks for the fun time together. I wish that even were miles away, we still find time to continue our communication and wonderful friendship. 'Til next time...

Cheers!
