A getaway in Malaysia
Day 1
We arrived at the Traders Hotel, Kuala Lumpur at around 6 pm. This is a new and cosmopolitan hotel, owned by the Shangri-la group. Our room was contemporary and spacious. After half an hour's rest, we met a group of friends for drinks at the Sky Bar right at the roof top of the hotel (33/F). This open air pavilion has a pool side setting; and the sides are glass walled. When I looked above my head, I could see the Petronas Twin Towers, glittering in the sky. What a magic view! No wonder Sky Bar was named the 'Best Malaysian Bar' by Malaysia Tatler.
After enjoying a buffet breakfast at the Gobo Chit Chat restaurant at the hotel, we went to KLCC and the Gardens for shopping.
Day 3
We went to the Pavilion for more shopping in the morning. After much walking, we got really knackered and went for a body massage to relax our sore muscles.
Day 4
In the morning, we had lunch and did more shopping at the Pavilion. After shopping, I had a paraffin wax hand treatment and a French Manicure at the Madaline Nails and Waxing Salon by Glitters, at the top of the Pavilion.
I started to fall sick on the last day of my trip. My sick journey began with a migraine attack in the morning. After I came back home, I contracted bronchitis and fell seriously ill. I had very bad coughing, wheezing, stuffy nose, a headache and a sore throat. The worst was I had shortness of breath as my airways in my lungs became narrow (yes, similar to an asthma attack!!!). The doc gave me some ventolin pills to relax my airway muscles so I could breathe smoothly. It was such a horrifying experience.
