KL Trip in March 09

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 bunch of friends for drinks at the Sky Bar right at the roof top of the hotel (33/F). This open air pavillion 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.

Day 2

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. In the afternoon, 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 Pavillion.

Day 5 plus the following week

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 ventolin pills to relax my airway muscles so I could breathe smoothly. It was such a horrifying experience.
