Me, Pravin & Ruben made our way to KL to spend the night at the Chorus Hotel, “sponsored” by Mr. Suren IS Manager of Hyatt Kuantan, But 1st we had nasi lemak for dinner at Kg. Baru, this place called Nasi Lemak Antarabangsa recommended by Ruben. Quite nice and SPICY but abit on the yeeexpensive side, well it’s KL.

KLCC has to be the most photographed structure in Malaysia and rightly so…that building is magnificent at night. It just lights up the night sky.

We went to the hotel and had a few drinks, well I had a few the rest had more..what to do? Indians what! Hehe…we had this drink called Louis Chevallier XO (sponsored by Pravin), it tasted really good. I LIKE!

{This brandy is a product of distillation of grapes. After ageing this brandy in oak barrels you taste the perfect blend between oak taste and genuine aroma. Main winegrower, using ancient french traditions, issued a delicate blend, that gives to this brandy complex perfumes.}

Lonely im so lonely, I have nobody, To call my owwnnn...

Nasi Lemak + X.O = BBBBUUURRRRPPP

A good drinking session is nothing if not accompanied by “Shaila” & a really good Japanese animated show.

Look at the textureeeeee....

RISE & SHINE!!
Surprisingly everyone woke up quite early “Thanks to, yours truly : )”. We had to split soon to Low Yat to submit our registration form for the Vista Walk Hunt (in conjunction with the launch of Windows Vista) before the registration closes at 2:00pm. We were well ahead of schedule, arriving at about 11:00 am. We had our brunch, then went back to Low Yat to check out the booths & gather some freebies.

Damn that nasi lemak + X.O really takes a long time to wareoff

4:00 pm we collected our t-shirts for the hunt. Changed into them and walked around Low Yat PROUDLY with out VISTA/BENQ T-shirt with this bag that came together with the free stuff. Seriously, carrying that bag on our shoulders is a real sight to be hold. We looked like “Male Sluts” LOL! It was just hilarious as you will see below. I didn’t realize how funny we looked till I downloaded the photos the next day.

Checkout Pravin ..such Enthusiasm!!!

The warm up...we dont want any cramps now do we?

Hey Ruben …where is the “Control Panel” in windows?

At bout 5:00pm we had our hunt briefing & stuff. We didn’t know what we were suppose to do till then. At about 5:45 we were OFF! Some were running, some was walking…we walked …FAST. It was very interesting the way they did the hunt. They gave us 20 clues and we were suppose to figure out what the clue refers to, mostly name of shops (not as easy as it sounds) and there also 2 things we had to do to earn bonus points. Answers are at 3 stretches of Bukit Bintang. We were given 1 hr 30min to complete the hunt.

It took us about 1hr & 34mins to complete the hunt, we had to finish it before 1hr 45mins or we will be disqualified & every 5 mins after 1hr 30min 1 point will be deducted. Unfortunately we did not manage to complete all the questions but I must say we did pretty well. After the race we realize how hard it is for those guys in Amazing Race to actually win the race & this is nothing compared to that. It looks easy on TV.

Allle leh ….we will do better next time..ok?…don’t cry.

The winner of the race won 2 signed copies of Vista Ultimate by Bill Gates (only 2000 in the world) 2 laptops & other computer stuff. JEALOUS!!!!

Well at the end of the day we had a great time & some Appus bonding time. Hopefully there will be more stuff & fun like this in the near future we will be part of.

Watch out for these faces in the Amazing Race!

Oh yeah forgot to mention … WINDOWS VISTA ULTIMATE IS “THE BOMB”!!!! Go get a copy at Low Yat or a Pirated shop near you. *ahem* wink * wink
