For a change, my social life these past few weeks kicked-off way better than my work life. After 2 months of rigid investigation and testing on one of the most challenging tasks I've ever handled here, I finally manage to fix it mid last month. Since then, my workload has back to normal so as my social life. Two weeks ago, I went to Reggae bar with Charisse and Marivic to have a dinner and try their cocktails. The place is located somewhere in Petaling Street. It's just a small bar for backpacker tourists. Oh yes, a lot of "friendly" foreigners. I reckon none of the customers were locals. For our cocktails, I ordered Sex in the Beach, Charisse ordered Mudslide, and Mavic ordered Long Island Iced Tea. Don't expect much as it's not really the classy type of bar you would like to go but nonetheless, a nice place to drink. And very affordable.
The next day I went to my friend Lisa's birthday party. Again, food haven ito! We had tuna pasta, cakes, ice-cream, pizza, and chicken. The usual food you see in every Filipino party yet very mouthful. And we didn't fail to do videoke of course. (partly part na to ng culture natin eh hehe).
The party didn't end in one day. The following day, we went to Lisa's place to eat the leftover haha. Another heavy dinner again. *whew*
There was a newly opened mall here in KL, the Pavilion; the largest mall in KL as they claim. For our Friday night out, we decided to go there. I was with Charisse, Mavic, Leo, and Donnie. We had our dinner @ Pasta Mania. I'm not really a pasta lover so I didn't quite enjoy the food. But I like the garlic pizza though. After dinner, we headed to Starhill to meet Donnie's "friend" Jay which is working in Marriott Hotel as an officer. Since it's still pretty early to call the night off, we all decided to have a drink and dessert @ Jiff's Lounge. It is located at the 2nd floor of Starhill. They have these huge and unique coaches that I've never seen in any bars here. I ordered chocolate martini while the rest ordered other cocktails too. For the dessert, they chose green tea cake and other chocolate-type cakes which I hardly remember the exact names. All I know they're all sweets haha. We stayed there 'til 1am.
It didn't just end there. Sunday night, my Aussie friend Mike already arrived in KL. I went to Crown Princess Hotel to meet him and we headed to the nearest restaurant where he ordered beef sathay and teh o' ice. Surprisingly, he really likes Malaysian dishes so as soon as he landed here, he looked up for something local food to eat. It was already Monday 3am when I went back home.
Yesterday, Charisse, Leo, and I went to Time Square to watch a movie. With no other choice, we watched White Noise 2: The Lights. But before we enter the cinema, we ordered siopao @ Baoz. One thing I want to say about the movie. I HATE IT!
Lastly, a while ago, I went back to Crown Princess Hotel to see Mike again. He'll be back to Australia tomorrow so tonight is our last night to hang out 'til he comes back again next year.
These were the events I pretty much had during the past 2 weeks. Quite tiring but I am not complaining hehe. In fact, I am loving it. hehe
