This would be the second time I have gone to KL to take an exam, the first being the DELE when I was in year 2. But of course this time, I’d be going alone. Yesh, I am not going with ******* as some seniors cheekily asked after the department head unknowingly created a ‘connection’ btwn myself and some other person by accident. I stayed at Boulevard Hotel at Midvalley Megamall, and it was a rather good 3 days 2 nights except for the part of the exam and the flight delay. I had PEACE, really needed it. It felt real good to shop alone, eat alone, sleep alone and just have my own thoughts to myself. :D
Boulevard Hotel was really quite posh looking and the bed looked reaaaalllly inviting, to the extent that I decided to totally flop onto it and bounce a few extra times just for good measure. WAA, I almost broke my back ok and bruised my already adiposity-enhanced backside. Haha… SO HARD! So take heed, dear friends, do not presume all inviting-looking beds are going to be soft and bouncy, it might just be a nice quilt leading you on.
Breakfast was horrid in that hotel though. Goodness even Breadtalk had better food!
The exam hall was one of the worst I’d ever had the fortune (or misfortune) to experience. I felt a bit claustrophobic after a while. It was a huge hall but was fairly airless and getting increasingly warm by the minute. I guess I should stop complaining or I’m going to be like one of those typical Sg’rean in Malaysia - complain complain and complain!
It was pouring cats and dogs right after the exam, I think that’s how I felt… I’d rather not even think about the outcome of those papers! An absolute massacre!!! The rain took my mind off the exams quite a bit, especially when I realised how there were NO CABS in the area… Tried calling for a cab but wow, they wouldn’t take my order! boohoo! Thankfully a friend helped to extricate me from my sticky and very wet circumstances. Very grateful indeed! Phew.
The next day I shopped like mad. Never walked so fast haha… Actually didn’t buy anything much except a pair of pants and a bag from Radley! I really like that brand! AAHHHHH I’m so sad Singapore doesn’t have it’s own shop for it!
Do you know what’s the best part of travelling? Part of it is the experience of living in various hotels!!! Haha… The next part is the flight there, and one of my dear friend’s highlight of the trip is the airplane food. Seriously, I can’t see anything delightful about eating out of crates. -.- I can’t wait to go on my next trip! For PURE LEISURE this time round!!!
