Semananjung..!!

Heres my second attempt at blogging from KL domestic airport..first copy was botched when my battery crapped out.. Was great to miss my flight this morning..NOT! ive only ever missed two flights, but this morning because of idle chit chat, I managed to miss my flight to Sandakan.. so now ive got a few hours to kill before i board the next flight.. My week here in KL has hads its ups and downs..alot of idle time in bewtween awesome time spent with family and friends..I imagine that my experience here is storngly dictated by my connections and probabaly unusual to the usual foreigner..my advice? get some friends or family who are familliar with the city, and you will have a much more experince filled time.. My week started off when i landed last thursday and was graciously allowed to stay in a spare room at my Auntie and cousins flat. HUGE thanks to her and her bf who was so friendly and accommodating. he managed to bail me out of a few sticky situations so THANKS to aunty Nanak and Nathan! I then spend friday with a friend made at the BSBCC Joanne. she took me to see the fringes of the Ampang forest..very lovely area to kill an afternoon walking around and snapping photos. The following days i managed to visit another cousin pepeng who has gotten engaged and is set to marry her fiance Sajid at the end of this year. Congrats guys! her inlaw family was terrific. Had one wild night with Farouk, her bro-in-law-to-be. managed to blow 900rm in a single night on drinks and "entertainment".. another big thanks to Sajid and Farouk and Pepeng!  Managed to score me a 70-300mm nikkor lens for 540rm.. not bad except that the autofocus isnt compatible with my crappy old nikon D40.. oh well still a good deal i suppose.. more to come later!
