The main purpose I went to Kuala Lumpur from late May till early June was not to go holiday-ing, but to sit for the Japanese Monbukagankusho Scholarship placement test. Upon arriving in KL, I was brought to exotic food outlets! Yes Aunty Natasha and Uncle Mat brought my cousins and me to Hard Rock Café in the city of KL. First impressions were to say it was a bar and a restaurant in the same café. Food was awesome…
1. Famous Fajitas-Your choice of grilled chicken or beef filled with pico de gallo, shredded Jack and Cheddar Cheeses, fresh guacamole, sour cream, shredded lettuce and hot flour tortillas.
2. Twisted Mac, Chicken and Cheese-A grilled chicken breasts tops of twisted Cavatappi pasta tossed in lightly spiced 3-cheese sauce, with garlic, roasted red peppers and Romano parsley bread crums. Served with a side of garlic toast.
3. An exotic punch!
CARLSBERG BABES APPEARED OUT OF NOWHERE!! Here’s the thing, you have to shake a bucket of Euro 2008 soccer balls. Each balls states what merchandise you would be getting. So there’s this hole in the bucket where only one ball can fall into. A lady sitting in front me of played the game with the Carlsberg babes and got an Adidas Euro 2008 shirt. She was SCREAMING IN JOY!!
Yes they look pretty much like this. But in Carlsberg outfits.So that night I told Debra J. about the Carlsberg babes…
Ben: Carlsberg babes just entered Hard Rock Café giving out Euro 2008 merchandise!! Blonde Carlsberg babes in mini skirts that is!
Debra: WOW! So are u attracted to them?? Did u play??
Ben: Oh yes, they’re hot!! And no I didn’t play…
Debra: YERRRR!!!! You are attracted!! Yer… you should have played…
Ben: :P
OH DAMN! I should have played. But apparently the game was only for those who were drinking Carlsberg beer…and there I was with my exotic drink! Haha!So over the next few days there was exotic food: Pita bread at Aunty Natasha’s, Japanese food and Vietnamese, etc.
The Campbell Book-Hunting
Since I was in the city of Kuala Lumpur, I decided to search for a Biology book to use as a reference. Jolee calls it the Campbell book with lots of pictures. MPH and Kinokuniya was the spot for my book-hunting. After days of hunting, I found it at Kinokuniya in KLCC…
GUESS WHAT!! … I *PENG!* upon looking at the price! So I told Debra J. that it was RM580 for that book. Apparently she *PENG!* too despite being far away in the island of Labuan! Haha!! (Eugenia is probably going to call me a weak person)
Other than eating at exotic food outlets and going book-hunting, I was traveling in the heart of KL city, and I have to say honestly, I DISLIKE KUALA LUMPUR!! Dirty streets, uncivilized drivers, high crime rate and polluted air make up the reasons why KL is very dislike-able.
The Monbukagankusho Scholarship Placement Test
Overall if was a hard test because the standard is actually pre-university, and its more suitable for students who have completed their pre-university. As for me I have just started pre-university and barely knowing much. It was a great experience though, having to meet Eugenia’s sister, Nicole and another old friend, Ann Marie who were also sitting for the test. And so I had quite a lot of fun ‘shooting!’ in the objective questions :P
Conclusion of my KL trip:
1. Carlsberg babes are gorgeous!!
2. It’s a terrible place to live in!
3. I found out that I wasn’t really the right age to sit for the Monbukagankusho Scholarship placement test.
