.......AVRIL LAVIGNE BEST DAMN TOUR MALAYSIA 2008!
Wassup people! Bet you guys are waiting for this post and so here it goes! A little note here before you start.. CLICK ON THE PICTURES FOR ACTUAL FULL SIZE! I had to put it so small cause my skin can only accomodate such size. I'm terribly sorry bout that.
29th of August, I took a bus down to KL. The bus departed at 10am and reached Pudu Raya about 2.30pm. Nothing much throughout the journey, it's very boring and uncomfortable as well. Well, I'll leave that out for now. So yeah, once I've reached the station, 1st things 1st, find my hotel. It's a budget hotel along Petaling Street. Cost me rm98 per night. The problem is I couldn't find the place at first and spent i think about an hour or so carrying to freaking heavy bags walking up and down the place to find the hotel. I even called the hotel but still could not find the place. At last i asked some people selling stuff there and they pointed the place for me. Only then i noticed that i have been walking pass it for i think 5 or 6 times. The problem is there are those stalls blocking the entrace of the hotel, so you gotta go behind the stalls to find it. So yeah, went in and check in by then it was already near 4pm. Took a bath and rested till around 5 before i leave the hotel to have my lunch/dinner. That's the only food i had for the whole day, cause i did not had breakfast earlier on.

excuse the messyness
After eating, i was planning to find my way to Stadium Merdeka and so i asked the workers at the restaurant. She told me that i could take the LRT to Jalan Hang Tuah and walked to the stadium. So I worked my way through the LRT stations which took me some time to find again, and then my dad called. He said that from Jalan Hang Tuah to the stadium theres also some distant might as well walked there from where i am. So we met up around pudu and then walked to the stadium together. There were alot of drug addicts along Jalan Sultan, most of them are in 'high' state, lying on the floor. Damn scary one. The distance from my hotel to the stadium is aproximate 2km. After like 15 minutes walk, we reached the stadium about 6 and went to the hitz.fm cruisers to get my tickets but they said that their collouges are on their way bringing the tickets so we had to wait. Dad accompanied me for awhile before leaving. After waiting for some time, the tickets arrived and i got mine before entering the stadium.

DANCER COMES OUT AVRIL IN HER VERY CUTE HOODIE WITH HER DANCERS!! " girlfriend (remix)"
Her last song was Sk8ter Boy!! EVERYONE WAS JUMPING UP AND DOWN!!
It was an awesome concert. After it ends, i walked back to my hotel. It was quite scary alright, walking alone down a street full of these gangsters and drug addicts. Luckily there were other people walking down from the stadium and i just follow the flow. Reached the hotel, took a bath and went straight to bed.
Woke up around 7 the next morning, packed up showered and then checked out. Headed out to find the LRT station near Central Market. After around 20 minutes walking and finding, i finally found it. Bought a ticket to KL central and waited for the LRT to come. Reached KL Central after a few minutes, it's just 1 stop away from there. Went down and found a bus heading to LCCT (Low -cost carrier Terminal) the journey took about 1hour. Went to Mc Donalds as soon i reached there to buy breakfast. It was super crowded there. I reached there around 9 something and my flight is 140pm. So yeah practically i spent my whole morning there, fortunately i brought my notebook there else i would be bored to death. However i couldn't find any plug for my to charge my notebook and the battery is running low, so i thought of going inside and find if there's any plug. It was around 11 15 then, and i didn't notice that the check in counter for my flight is not yet openned so i had to wait for another 20minutes before checking in and getting my boarding pass. Went in and to the gate where i found a plug and sat there with my notebook on in front of me for another 1 hour or so before the gate opens. Flight departed 20mins earlier than scheduled which is 1.40pm. And thus my solo journey to KL ends there.
killing time in front of coffee bean in the plane started to took off bye bye KL I will be back! xD
Some random shots
