i used to love rain, but now i fucking hate rain. hate it with a passion when i'm walking outside.
especially when it rains for 20 minutes every 15 minutes starting from 4pm onwards.
kanasai ccb (translation: string of bad words in hokkien).

sadly, no pictures because nico was being VERY SHY.

so i met up with nico around 11am today. yes, that's too damn early for me. but hey lol although, he insisted that i could've been earlier if i wasn't online lol xD

the trip to hotel istana from my house was a 30 minute malay-for-dummies crash course as i was polishing my malay with the cab driver (who ironically had a chinese surname O.o) prodding him on places i could take nico to.

i'll admit it, i am an awful tour guide. the WORST (for shame :p).

upon arriving at hotel istana, i had to double check to see if i got the room number right. i mean, seriously... if i got the wrong room, it would be one big hella surprise for the poor bugger who's wondering what on earth this hyperactive chinese girl is doing knocking on his/her door.

after butchering nico's name a couple of times, the nice lady at the registration counter confirmed his room number for me :P

yay! i finally meet the secretively shy nico! xD who, ironically, has a toon that wields a sword bigger than he is and is all for charging in head first annihilating everyone in his path :p after a brief hello and a little chit chatter, we headed off to klcc to grab brunch.

at cina's suggestion, we stopped to have lunch at madam kwan's ^^;

actually, i'm not sure how nico really handled the sight of the extremely spicy colored food as i ordered nasi lemak and asam laksa for the both of us lol no, i'm not trying to send him to the hospital :P besides, it's going to taste odd if i'm going to order two dishes that are on opposite ends of the flavor scale O.o

much to his discomfort, it was cute watching him try to eat with a spoon when he's more used to the fork/knife combo :P

hmph, and he had the cheek to mock my leet chopsticks skill ;/

throughout brunch i was trying to explain what a starfruit was to him because that's what he had for a drink O.o and WOW. never thought i'd be that terrible when it comes to describing a piece of fruit lol

well, he did also say i talk way too fast :/ maybe that's the problem lol

to top it all off, we had sweet, icy cold cendol for dessert ^^;

killer line of the day: nico said cendol tastes better when he eats it without looking lol :P
ok ok, so maybe that green worm-like good stuff isn't for everyone ;)

after a wonderful lunch and a little stroll through the decandent floors of klcc, we went to watch m:i:3 xD

it's his first day, do you really expect me to make him walk the whole of kl?
heck, i wouldn't walk the whole of kl (only because i'd get lost kek) and i've been staying here nearly all my life :P

ideally, it would've been fun to grab a drink after the movie outside by the park.

but no.

why?

bloody. fucking. rain. RAIN. :(

so we decided to head back to the hotel to hang out while we wait out the rain.

while twiddling our thumbs waiting for the rain to subside, nico entertained me with his stories and the possibility of tatooing the left half of his ass cheek with a beautiful flower xD ok that was a lie that i baited him into saying xD and yes ladies, i now know why nico hangs out in the deeprun tram ever so often LOL :p the secret is out! bwhahahaha pst nekomatta/chibineko for details ;D

oh yeah, did i mention that nico has this strange fascination with my hair? O.o
i told him he'd get the same results with his hair... he'd just have to wait for it to grow out (i'd say 1 1/2 years? :p) and color it black lol xD

after being bored indoors (think 20 minutes? lol), we left to take a stroll down bintang walk. one might think that this is the best time for a walk, the whole after-rain, chilly fresh air effect...

fuck no.

on my way out i nearly took a dive and pokai (translation: harsh way of saying "fell") by one of the bus stops. HELLO RAIN. doesn't help that i'm a klutz too >.<
after a brief moment of disgraceful panic and agile acrobatics, i managed to not land on my face or ass and held my head up high and continued my walk (mentally cursing and swearing of course).

i've just realized... bintang walk isn't really a big "tourist" area. it's just filled with shopping malls :/ what so "tourist" about that? visit malaysia, welcome to the land of shopping malls! and uh, although, yeah, would've been a wee bit more interesting if nico was female :P

i'm kidding, please don't hurt me :x

walking around rather aimlessly just looking, we ended up getting fruits: jambu air (translation: water apple) and ciku (translation: chiku fruit lol) ^^;

at this point, nico tried to teach me a phrase in french. i asked for "i hate rain".
i can't even pronounce "rain" (was it plui? sounds like i'm spitting, really). don't even ask how that went :P

as we were about to continue our walk to make our way to dinner, yep, you guessed it. RAIN.

(insert long, unintelligible line of inspired albeit inappropriate foul language)

we had to head back to the hotel again :x

i actually fell asleep this time waiting for the blasted rain to stop :/ i had plans on eating at alor and somehow, i don't think nico would appreciate having to eat with rain pelting down by his legs (if not on his back :P)

FINALLY, the rain stops and we are able to make our way to alor.
since we are walking, i was quite surprised by the huge amount of massage/reflexology parlors along the way to alor O.o i mean, i vaguely remember the signs when i was in cina's car but whoa O.o naturally, having a tall, caucasian guy walk next to me does not help things one bit as they are all trying to get him to get a massage lol :p

dinner was comprised of a modest four dish course (which we both only ate half of everything and i'm currently gloating to mike about :p): hokkien mee, ikan pari bakar, stir-fried lala and bbq chicken wings ^^;

i had such a bitch of a time trying to explain what a stingray was to nico. his dictionary was pretty darn useless. burn the thing! xD

while eating, i teased him about not wanting to take pictures because there was a big group of guys next to us with a few ang moh guests busy snapping away at intervals of, i kid you not, 30 seconds.

nico says it's pointless for me to take pictures of him and he'd rather he takes pictures of me.

nut O.o

stop smoking so much crack imo :P
you're on vacation, i live here.
besides, when you're showing your pictures to your friends, they're going to wonder where you are in the pictures :p
you make as much sense as your druid heals in bear form :P

(i said this earlier, but he started jabbing my sides causing me to laugh and without any harmful intent, to accidentally box his face because i am too ticklish -_- sorry :/)

AND dinner concluded day one of our exciting adventure!

except, my clumsiness followed me all the way home as i nearly pokai again trying to close the gate. even the taxi driver who was making a u-turn stopped to see if i was hurt >.>

rain, you're such a bitch tonight. i still love you though, for the most part <3

i still have no idea why on mother nature's green earth did i agree to meet him at 9:30am tomorrow.

regardless, i will HAVE pictures tomorrow.
