Ham and I took an 8.55PM bus down to KL. The journey took three hours. We took an LRT to Dang Wangi LRT station and set off to hunt for the Nuffnang office at Jalan Yap Ah Shak. We managed to find the office at Heritage House. Ham rang the doorbell. Then a lady opened the door and let us in. The Nuffnang office is so orange! X) The lady handed me my tickets. Then I had to sign a receipt. It was then that I turned in the other direction and saw Timothy Tiah! But was not thick-faced enough to ask for a photo. Everyone looked busy. :( Oh well.

After getting all hyped up upon getting my tickets, we headed to Bukit Bintang to meet up with Martin and Sean at Hotel Nova. When we got there, Martin was busy dressing up with new clothes, gearing up for the concert that evening. He suggested dropping by Times Square to grab more ‘gear’. So that we did. A lot of time was spent at iSocks. =.=

We headed to Marcel’s place in the evening. I was exhausted so I slept while the boys showered and got dressed. Then I got dressed in a long top, shorts and boots. :) Marcel lead us to Putra indoor stadium, which wasn’t very far. I had trouble walking fast, thanks to the boots.

When we got there, there were riot police trucks everywhere (and everyone would know why) =.= *cough*PAS*cough*

The concert was awesome! I can’t believe I actually saw Adam Lambert. And I cannot fathom how he lost to Kris Allen in American Idol. Martin claims that it is due to the gay conspiracies but that’s not fair! X(

After the concert, Ham and I headed to Vista Komanwel C2 to visit Kavita. It was a surprise. I managed to get details of her home from Sharmela earlier during the day. Thanks Mela! :) we talked and talked and talked. Boy, do I miss the twins now. :’(

I was feeling really tired and my feet were sore - thanks to the boots - so we headed back to Marcel’s after midnight. We had yummy nissin instant noodles courtesy of Marcel! It’s a tradition to have instant noodles there every time we sleep over. ;)

15 October 2010, Friday

All of us got ready by 9.30AM. We dragged our asses on to the LRT to Bukit Bintang. Martin and Sean left for their hotel while Ham, Marcel and I went off to meet Eva. Our next stop was Pavilion KL. Dragon-i for lunch! Lunch was on Eva. Or should I say Uncle? Haha :D

We walked around Pavilion until Eva had to leave. Then Marcel had to leave for class. The  two of us dropped by Hotel Nova to meet Martin and Sean and to drop off our bags. At 3.00PM, we met at Times Square. Nothing interesting happened except that Julian and Vanessa joined us there.

After much pointless loitering around Times Square, we moved on to Sungei Wang Plaza. Marcel joined us again. Dinner at KFC. Then Ham and I had to leave for KL Sentral to catch the 9.45PM train to Ipoh.

We rushed back to Hotel Nova to collect our bags. Then we had to stop by to give the hotel card key back to Martin. We were under the impression that we were going to be late. We rushed to KL Sentral to find that we were 20 minutes early. And that was when the drama started.

The train delayed 30 minutes. So we waited at the KLIA terminal. Ham went to sit on the massage chair while I sat on the floor and guarded his phone and my iPod, which were charging. Martin called after a few minutes, saying that Ham left his garment bag back in the hotel. We panicked, but couldn’t do anything to get it back but to call Marcel and get him to collect it from Martin and keep it in his apartment.

Ham and I then left to the departure gate, only to find that the train has been delayed again. =.= This time we didn’t leave the gate, but sat nearby, charging phone and iPod again. Half an hour later, another announcement was made, saying that due to unforeseen issues, they couldn’t let us know the ETA of the train. X( Pissed, Ham walked off to ask about refunds. Later, we just left KL Sentral for Hotel Nova. So yeah, we got a room there for RM175 and I told Seng Yee that I couldn’t make it for the PPT field trip. What a waste. :[

That ends the story of my very eventful weekend. Now, back to the books. X(

[Pictures can be found here on Facebook.]

Right, so I have two very important events going on this weekend.

1. Adam Lambert Glam Nation Tour in KL
2. IChemE visit to PETRONAS Penapisan (Terengganu) Sdn. Bhd. in - where else? - Terengganu

Ham and I will be taking the 8.55AM bus to KL later. Then our afternoon will be spent hunting for the Nuffnang office in KL. Wish me luck! I will try to snap some photos of the office. :] I’m uber excited to meet my friends! Having lunch with them as well. Heading to Marcel’s place in the evening to glam up for the concert! I will be bringing black nail polish and will try to get my hands on some eyeliner. X) EXCITED!

Half of Friday will be spent with Eva, Ham’s sister. Dinner with the boys then taking a bus back to UTP at night.

The IChemE visit to PPT is a 2D1N trip. Will be exhausted by then.

Till I’m done regaining my energy next week. Toodles.

Today brought two good news to me.

1. Adam Lambert Glam Nation Tour Blogging Contest

Four days ago, I read about the Adam Lambert Glam Nation Tour Blogging Contest organized by DiGi and Nuffnang. I decided to join. Now this is saying something as I never take part in contests organized by Nuffnang because of low self-confidence and too much competition. =.=

I whipped up a blog post in about 30 minutes and submitted my entry.

So I waited and waited.

And guess what I received in my email inbox today.

I freaking won 2 DiGi Zone tickets to Adam Lambert’s concert! The DiGi Zone - a.k.a. the Sponsor Zone - is right in front of the stage. Adam Lambert close-up omg. :D

I will, of course, be giving the other ticket to my darling Ham, who is the world to me. I am gonna paint his nails black and force eyeliner on him. *rolls sleeves up*

Ok, jk, it won’t happen. *rolls sleeves back down*

2. Camera issue for my travels

I got permission from Papa to bring his Canon 450D with me when I go outstation in the months to come! Mind you, I’ll be visiting quite a number of places so it will come in handy. ;)

And that’s that. DiGi, Nuffnang and my dad practically made my day today. :D
