Life in KL

I have settled into life here in KL. I have an apartment in a nice suburb called Sri Hartamas. Its basically an expat suburb so there are lots of restaurants etc. Also it is right near my work so it only takes a few minutes to get there.

I've been working heaps so haven't really had time to explore KL very much. The other day was Merdeka Day which is a celebration of independence from the British and this year was the 50th anniversary so there were lots of celebrations. I could hear fireworks going off for at least half an hour. I had the day of from work that day so i went to a workmates place. His father owns and runs a paintball range there so we spent the day shooting each other and then had a BBQ. They had an entire lamb tied to a few logs and stretched out over a fire. It was delicious.

I'm going up to Bangkok for a couple of days next weekend to catch up with an ex-workmate that will be there on a job. Unfortunately Nic is off living her glamorous jetsetting lifestyle so we won't be able to catch up, but I'm looking forward to it anyway. I am hoping to go down to Singapore the weekend after that and catch up with another ex-workmate who will be working down there for a couple of weeks, but i have to try and get time off work first as they are acting like slave drivers.

Anyways I have already paid the bill here at the bar i'm in and i'm going to go home so.... update over!

Hey jimmy
keen to know who you're working for there, any skips putting pictiures through your machine? Have you heard of FHQFLUID? they are the mob that rep me in Singers, thought they would probably put work through KL too. Love some pics of the tall buildings if you have a camera. Are you near them? how many millions in KL?
