So i went to the Hilton Hotel in Kuala Lumpur next to the Meridian yesterday night to celebrate my grandfather's birthday.I was very adamant on wearing a formal-ish shirt as I figured I would have plenty of opportunities to wear those for probably 40-50 years of my life, but ended up wearing one anyway because mom said it was a pretty opulent restaurant complete with vibrant colors and the like. Upon reaching the parking section of the hotel, a pair of security guards checked the boot of the car and under it with a mirror, though you can see the pointlessness of it all. If you wanted to bring a bomb into a hotel you might as well put it under your seat and none would be the wiser! I heard that when you are driving into Singapore customs will guide you to a ramp where they x-ray the entire car to check for explosives. Now that is impressive. We parked the car and rode up the elevator, headed up a few escalators and finally arrived at the restaurant. It was not as swank as I thought but hey, I was wearing jeans so it wasn't that bad. The ceiling was actually quite interesting as you can see. the whole circle is actually formed by the zodiac signs eg. Taurus, Libra and so on. They also had a mini zen garden right next to our room, for decorative purposes because I could hardly imagine a person sitting on top of that rock and humming to himself as he meditated.  >seriously, a zen garden? The room was almost entirely velvet, a lot like dracula's lair or something. Always remembered him as the kind who loved velvet curtains and crimson clothes. We seated ourselves around the gargantuan dinner table(which was circular) and started to order. Mom and dad were, like always, indecisive when it came to which foods to try so it took quite a while for the waiter to actually get the order processed. I got pretty bored so I snapped a few pictures.  The only light source in the room, which is also circular as you can see.  My tea glass, a stupefying work of art, mainly because the top and bottom of the glass was carved with symbols of dragons, my chinese zodiac sign hehe  That figure actually holds a tiny plate with peanuts inside. The last time we went it was a turtle.heh.  They gave us chopsticks that size to 'lou sang' as the center of the table was pretty damn far.  The first dish we were using before they changed it after the first dish. The second was far less extravagant. The food was a little above average at best and the dishes were probably bite-sized because 13 people were sharing 8 dishes, thoroughly overpriced if you ask me. However, I did find the honey roasted chicken with ginger and deep fried prawn with salty eggs absolutely delectable, though I downed them in less than two minutes. Oh well, all good things must come to an end right? The noodles we had at the end of the meal were also gratifying. Not too moist and not too dry. Then came the birthday cake oh the birthday cake! It was a tiramisu topped with green tea powder, but was no bigger than the table napkins that were alotted to us. I forgot to take a picture of that so I couldn't compare. Oh well. The evening was well spent and I enjoyed the company. My cousin also seemed to have developed an accent due to her years in an international school and she has an ipod Nano too. (p.s. she is |

Jin loves brownies, cookies and cake. Jin has never been anywhere further than Australia. Jin could never stop being a sadistic, sarcastic meanie. Jin is also the opposite of everything said one line up when the need arises. Jin would rather have a desktop rather than a laptop. Jin has an obsessive, compulsive need to ramble, blabber and regurgitate all manner of nonsense. Jin hates being ignored by the people he loves. Jin hates being alone most of the time. Jin hates reflecting about his actions. It's taxing. Jin has a habit of thinking too much. Jin often doesn't see the glass as half-empty or half-full.He just sees the glass. To some, Jin is weird; to others, Jin is even weirder. Jin wants nothing more than to be happy. Rich would be a big plus though. Jin is pretty tired of referring himself in the third person's perspective. |
