Ryan and I boarded our Gulf Air flight from KL to Bahrain and then Bahrain to London yesterday. First flight was 7 hours and 30 minutes then 7 hour and 10 minutes for the next leg. The selection of movies were not half bad, and they did serve and food even though it was the fasting month. If you want to fly Gulf Air, it does serve wine and spirits for non-muslims :) Anyhoo, very tired. More when I explore :)

How did I celebrate Merdeka? Wanting a holiday but not wanting all the hassle of fighting with the rest of Malaysia to either leave the major cities and struggle with the traffic on highways, Sara and I decided to get away somewhere closer to home. She told me to keep Merdeka day free as she had a surprise for me. Where did we go to? Sembunyi Spa at Cyberview Lodge in Cyberjaya. Its a beautiful place offering several different packages for treatments. Firstly when we arrived we explored the area abit. Nice pool, great scenery. Then we went to use the facilities. The men and women have seperate Jacuzzi, Saunas and steam rooms. I did a cycle of dipping myself in the Jacuzzi till I was almost dizzy and then  jumping into the cold pool till I was almost freezing several times and it was soo refreshing! Then came the main event. First a balinies massage for 90 minutes, then a full body scrub and finally a soak in milk bath. When I saw Sara after the treatment we compared stories and smelled each other :P She looked so radiant and smelled wonderfull. I too looked much fairer and really had a good aroama going. It was not cheap, but its cheaper than flying to say Bali or Phuket to go and enjoy a spa if you calculate airfaire. There was a 50% off for the person you bring package on, so it was worth it.

There is a beauty in the Brickfield part of KL, known to some as the little India of Malaysia. Sure its hectic, there are tons of buses that come and go, thanks to the addition of KL Sentral, the central transportation hub of the city, but if you take the time to stop and smell the roses (or Jasmine Flowers), you can see the beauty of the indian culture touching this place. There are the multiple Banana Leaf restaurants, shops selling spices, silverwear and garments from India, and of course the flower vendors.

People say the durian is a must try when you come down to South East Asia. Two of my columbian friends tried it, and this is what they have to say :)
