Our Trip to Kuala Lumpur!

Ni hao!
I'm back in singapore. . . and it feels good!
So, last friday I went to the movie casting. It was biiig, it was a hollywood movie from Warnerbros, and the director had made some major movies, one of em was one of the ones kimmy likes. . . i dunno something like save the last dance or something like that :P
It was really cool to be in the same room with someone that BIG.
At first, we were around 5-6 people in the waiting room, then one of the people taking care of the audition comes in with a video camera and starts filming us when we're just talking with eachother. Then we take individual photos, and then they tell everyone that the director only wants to see 3 of us, based on what he saw in the video they just filmed ehhe. It was me, David and Mark. The rest had to leave :P
The director was very friendly, he was from brazil. I had to read the lines of a character called Eddie, it was a dialogue so i read it together with another person hehe. At first i just read from the paper, after i had gone through the script the director wanted me to look up at a point and just talk about anything, jibberish, whatever i want. But he said i had to look more serious, considering that the role was for a shaolin monk hehe. So i naturally started off with "The monkey will not reveal itself. . . until the moon has risen high. . . .into the sky"
Haha, everyone started bursting out in laughter so it wasn't very serious hahaha but after that i just talked bullshit and tried to look neutral/serious :P
It was fun! I met a lot of new people, and one of the guys that was auditioning, hooked me up with another audition in KL haha.
I also heard about something called www.AADB.com i think it was, "Asian actors data base." A few of the people doing the audition were members of that site, one of the guys said that you have to pay 100dollars for a 1-year subscription, but he had already made 1500 sing dollars from it. It's a homepage that sends you to castings for movies and tv series and stuff. Sounds cool, i suggested it to my agency as well.
Oh and David told me that these kind of castings are great because they keep the video of your audition and if you suit a future role in a future movie they'll contact you ^^
Anyway, after the casting i stressed and rushed a bit, but Johan and his driver . . . or whoever the guy was :/ picked me up right outside the appartment so that was nice.
We got to the busstation with like 15 minutes to spare. . . but johan was hungry so he ordered some thai food. . . . . which he did not have time to finish :P
The buss was awesome. Huuuuge leg space, every chair was a massage chair, little screens that you folded up infront of you and food was given to us. The food was spicy beyond all reason but i ate it anyway and almost died. . . .
It was a 5 hour trip. . . it went really fast though, i watched some movies on the foldable screen, listened to some of johan's music, watched a movie on johan's laptop. . . .and yeh before we knew it we were eagerly looking otu the windows for a glimpse of the Petronas Towers in KL.
When we got off in KL we went looking for a cab to drive us to our hotel, we asked one guy who gave an outrageous price and johan refused to go with that cab so we went and looked for another cab.
This time we were lucky, very lucky actually, the cab driver was very nice and he's all like "I hate the indian cab drivers, don't ever take a cab driven by an indian in KL" and however rascist it may have seemed at that point. . .. we found out later that what he was saying was absolutely true. . . basterds, give outrageous fixed prices, and when we force them to use the meter, it turns out they've fiddled with the meter so it ticks a LOT quicker, they pretend to not be able to speak english, when they a few seconds earlier spoke fluent english. . . and it's just UGH! hate it. . .
Anyway, this cab driver was great, he gave us a little tour as we made our way to the hotel and everything hehe.
Well we got to the hotel, the Concorde hotel, 4 stars, very nice. It was on top of a hard rock cafe, opposite a 7-eleven, within walking distance from Zouk (The club) and KLCC (A major shopping centre).
Funny enough we arrived at the hotel at the exact same time as David who had taken the train like 7 hours earlier hehe.
We got shown up to our room, very nice, everything was clean and pleasant. . . except for the water in one of the taps which was like yellowish :P
we were all full of excitement and very happy to be in malaysia, because it was close that we wouldn't get there. Johan had lost his passport and had to pick up an emergency passport earlier that morning. . . .strangely enough it wasn't as impossible as i thought it was. . . 15 dollars and he got a temporary passport hehe.
Well after we got settled in, we went down and met up with Johan's father who was staying in the area. He seemed to know everyone, and when we ewnt to hard rock for dinner, the queue was like 30minutes long but through johans dad we got one of the reserved table hehe.
I ate soooooo freakin much. . . . .
After that, Johan's dad paid for the meal haha, and we went on upstairs.
Johan called Ksenya and another russian model, who came a bit later that night to our room where we spent a short time before we headed out to Zouk.
Zouk was like singaporian zouk. . . btu worse. . . . and the people there were a bit dodgey haha. But through the two russian models we got in without having to pay entrance and stuff.
Wow. . . those two girls were hit on maaany times throughout the night by strangers haha XD
It was alright, but i was kinda tired and not in that much of a mood to head out partying :P
At 3am all clubs close in malaysia, so we headed home for beddy time.
The next day we went to an outdoor market, bought around 30 pirated dvd's (I didn't buy any though), and just walked around and checked the place out.
After that we went to one of the major shopping malls where we ate and went to a big assed indoor theme park and did a rollercoaster that did loops and corkscrews and what not hahaha it was a lot of fun, we also went to an IMAX movie theater and watched the new movie with Will smith "I am Legend" awesome movie. Later that evening we went to Heritage road. It's like singapore's Clark Quay where all the night clubs are. We went to the malaysian fashion bar which isn't as nice as the singaporian one. . . but whatever, models get in for free, no free drinks though.
The day after that me and david woke up early for breakfast buffet. . . . but johan refused to get out of bed haha, he almost cried XD
After our breakfast we came back to the room and johan was still in bed, the reason we woke up early was to go to genting highlands. Which we eventually did, we grabbed a special genting highland cab that drove us all the way up there. . .. . and let me tell. . . that driver was craaaazyyyyyy. He was kind, but craaaazy on the road. Drove soooo fast and the roads were twising and turning, the tires were screeching and we were all like shit shit shit hahahhaa.
It was me, Johan, David and Diego (Another model)
Oh, before we reached genting highlands the cab driver offered to drop us off at the Batu caves, which was on the way to genting highlands.
It was awesome, i have lots of pictures from this day,.
it was a huge assed cave, with indians everywhere (It was some religious thingy, with like a temple in the cave and stuff)
Monkeys were running around everywhere, ignoring all the people, it was awesome ahhaa, one of the monkeys got pissed at me though, he came and bitchslapped my leg :P
but it was a really cool experience that cave.
Anyway, we got back to the car and headed to genting highlands.
Genting highlands is atop of a few mountains and because it is so high up it is actually pretty cold up there, we were surrounded by a cloud throughout the whole visit haha, sometimes you could barely see anything infront of you XD
Well, when we first arrived, everyone put on their jackets and jerseys. . .. but i haven't brought any of that to singapore hahaha, so i had taken my shirt with me instead. . . it was cold, but it sufficed.
We began by going to a japanese restaurante and eating some cheap assed sushi which i thought tasted a bit crappy hehe.
After that we split up. David went to check out the 2 major casinos in the genting highlands hotel (Supposed to be famous casinos)
Me, Johan and Diego went to the two theme parks. 1 outdoor and 1 indoor. . . . buuuuuuut because of the mist, most rides were closed :( And all the thrill rides were in the outdoor theme park so that sucked ass.
But some how we managed to enjoy our day even though all the rides we wanted to do were closed. . . . .We did get to do a fritt fall version though. . .. it was craaaaazy, we went up the tower and because of the mist, the ground slowly faded away from under our feet until you actually couldn't see anything but a white cloud under you hjahahhahaha we were shitting our pants. Man that was like the coolest thing i've ever experienced. .. . i found the place to be simply amazing, the cloud and mist was just making everything so mistical and unkown haha.
We also went to an archery to shoot some bow and arrows, we went to the snow land hahahaha -5 degrees, hilarious XD it wasn't really snow hahahaha not even close XD but i enjoyed the cold :D
Well finally the day came to an end and we headed back home. Diego and David went out with some girls (Apparently they weren't attractive and me and Johan were too tired so we figured. . . screw it :P) Me and johan stayed back and watched a few movies on his laptop hehe.
Next day, me and david went to KLCC to eat kebab again. When we came back home johan had woken up and he and david went downstairs to do something. . . .
When they came up johan was laughing histerically. . .. and he's like "hahaha omg. .. alex. . .. bad news. . .. we might be stuck here"
Our money was running out, we didn't have tickets to go home (Even though we were supposed to go home that evening) They said you have to book 5 days in advance. . .. . . we were effed. . . . . Somehow though. . . we managed to scrape enough money together to pay for the hotel, then johan borrowed 150 dollars from his dad, and we went to the trainstation because we had managed to find a second hand train which we weren't sure had airconditioning but we had to get home ahha.
Now to the next problem. . .. the train was leaving in 30 minutes. . . .we were in queue for the tickets, 34 people were ahead of us. . .. . . . . . HMMMMMMMMMMMM. . . .. and then the freakin counter lady walks off and never returns. . .. we were all very anxious and i'm like. . . maybe we should go ask and see if we can go before hand. David and Johan go talk with the counter while i watch the bags.
Phhhhewwwwwww they turn around and David gives me the thumbs up. . . . . .. . wow. . . .otherwise we would've had to sleep in the station and grab the next train which would leave at 8am .. . . the next morning. . .
Well, turns out we didn't have to rush anyways. . . .the damn train was delayed by 1 hour and 30 minutes :P
Once we got on the train. . . it was pretty nice actually (second hadn train, but first class) haha, huge leg space. . . and it was nice actually.
Because it was a night train we all just kinda tried to sleep through the whole 10 hour trip. . .. but it was difficult because we were sitting right by the door to the next waggon. . . .. and the damn door wouldn't close so we had to hear the roaring noise of the bloody train wheels agaisnt the train tracks all night hahahah. And it was freakin cold beyond all reason. . .. SOOOOOO cold. . . . . i was FREEEEEEEEZING!
Anyway. . . we got home haha.
I slept until 5pm when i got back to the appartment in singapore XD
WEll .. all in all, it was an interesting trip, exciting, and fun.
And wow the attention from girls was crazy XD
Anyway. . .. that's about it! Feels good to be home again :P or well in singapore that is hehe.

Lotsa Love

Farfar!
Eeeeek you gotta be careful with girls! it's impossible to tell their age, i've been in situations where i thought the girl was around my age but turns out she was like 4 years younger and even that made me like EEWAAK. . . . hahaha but now ever here in asia it's the other way around. . . everyone thinks i'm 24 and such. . .. sometimes i just go with it haha.
Erotic comics. . . sure that's always pleasant XD
Hur som helst! Business time!
I have a mission, a request if you may.
I have been interested in buying a laptop for a long time now, and well now that i have enough money and that i'm in a situation where a laptop is damn useful. . . . i figured it is time to get one.
However, i want a swedish laptop with swedish keyboard hehe. (Actually now when i go through this. . . it doesn't really matter, felix says that Alienware is 120% american so. . . i guess it'll have to be english keyboard, unless the shop suggests another laptop ;)
AAAAnd i'm also not entirely sure what i should be getting. . . . . Do you think that if your schedual allows it, could you pop by our friends in the tiny underground shop where we purchased my current monster stationary computer and ask for some advice?
My requirements are that the computer is able to play games like:
F.E.A.R
Battlefield 2142
World Of Warcraft and other MMORPG's
and other craving/heavy games such as these!
Here is a homepage felix sent me
http://www.alienware.com/Configurator_Pages/area-51_m9750.aspx?SysCode=PC-LT-AREA51M9750&SubCode=SKU-DEFAULT
That computer seems badassed. . . so i just wonder if you ever have a chance if you could go by the store (Where we bought my stationary) and ask them to select which parts i should choose for a badassed computer that can play those kind of games, yet be somewhere around the price of 15 000 kr hehe i could stretch that a bit further. . .. but that's expensive >.<
Anyway, would be great if you could help me out with this hehe.
Lotsa Love!

Come to singpaore ^^
Hahaha well malaysia was alright. . . but singapore is better.
Malaysia was HOOOOT as shiet because of all the pollution and smog. . . . and the people were a bit dodgey. . .. a bit more hostile than singaporians hehe. I'm glad i'm back in honest singapore hehe.
I still have yet to acquire your book, but now i've heard about another bookstore which is apparently even bigger than borders. . . so i'll go check it out when i get the chance :D
Hope all is well with you!
Lotsa Love!
