back to KL after 2 month of in Singapore, as usual i will take express bus from Johor larkin station. To my surprise the ticket is still very cheap RM24 for Johor to KL, reach KL around 10pm.
Reach my rented place in arena green then look for my house mate to go for dinner coz the crazy bus driver never stop for dinner. Lucky he got stop for toilet etc.
Next day after banking & buy lottery ticket i went visit my ex colleague in MAA, have lunch with them at Jusco Mid Valley then went for baskin robbin ice cream. But what irritate me was my ex colleague decided to go fly aeroplane althought already have appointment for dinner… i guess olympic is much more important than once a year friendship dinner.
Next day wanna go genting but no friends want to go, so i have to stay home clean my room as I will be moving out soon permanently. Finally finish pack & send my stuff away or given off to my friends.
