Luna Bar Is Beautiful

After ages and ages of hyping about Luna Bar, we finally made a trip to that oh-so-beautiful place in the heart of KL. It's quite secluded though. Situated behind Shangri-La and on the 33th floor of Menara something something. Even going up to that floor requires abit of mind work.

Chun Meng was nice enough to give me, Hsien and Chien a lift from Subang. About 14 of us went. That being Me, Chien, Hsien, Amanda, Melissa, Kevin, Chun Meng, Marcus, Ji Yang, Nigel, Barry, Kay Hong, Chun Guan and Amanda's friend, Sean. It's been a long time since we've done huge ass group outings. This is because the Aussie folks are back. (Kev, Ji Yang, Chun Meng and Marcus. Missing Abby and Zhuo Yan though. And one fella in UK. WHO IS BACK TODAY. ADRIAN!!)

There were a few flights of stairs that finally led to the bar and wow, I remember Hsien telling me that it was opened air but I suppose it's a case of seeing it to believe it. In the middle there was a swimming pool. The turqoise water was being illuminated by spotlights from beneath - very seductive. Unfortunately, it's not for swimming. Apparently only very important people (ie. national badminton players) get to swim in it. It's like a nice condo swimming pool.

It would be extra beautiful if they placed lilies with a candle in each and everyone of it bobbing about in the pool.

To quote Chun Guan, "Bring girl here then settle adi.. phuiyoh." He means it in an innocent way lah..all my friends are nice guys. To which Hsien and I nodded our heads in agreement. I think I had painted this picture in my head when I spoke of a glittering view of the city.

There is no roof to this place save for the bar area. The walls had alcoves and there were mats placed in it and you could climb into each of it - do remove your shoes though - and look out the glass panels to admire the beautiful view of Kuala Lumpur by night. The glass panels do not give full coverage to the top so if you ever feel like commiting suicide, it is not too difficult to do so. But it's dark. The only light illuminating Luna Bar would be the ones from beneath the pool, some little yellow lamps that only adds to the ambience but mostly lights from the city itself.

All of us agreed that the next time we come here, we'd bring our other halves instead. It's the perfect place to while away the night. I will have it no other way. I suggested to Barry that the alcoves allow for hot and steamy action but he said, "Can see lah!!" ... so I suppose that should answer some questions for some of you.

The cheapest bottle of wine is about RM140 so obviously wine is out of the question. At first I wanted to settle for a glass of diet coke (RM8.50) but what the hell, RM28 for a cocktail is not too bad. I'm willing to pay for the ambience, and one shalt not gush down alcoholic beverages so it was a good choice to last me through the night. I had a tequila sunrise. It tasted like incense. But I got used to it after awhile. Hsien's Strawberry Marguerita was lovely!! Better than TGIF's.

The floor plan was made to appear empty and hollow and it was not meant to be a place for crowds to ambush. So it's nice and quiet for long chats with good friends. Or clients.


They have showers in the ladies'. So people DO swim here... 


The toilets with translucent glass doors.


Hsien pretending to pose for me so that I will not look stupid photographing the interior of the toilet.
Can you see the mirror image of my feet on the mirrors hanging from the ceiling?? I only just realised it.

What a funky toilet powder room.


They have the same halo chandelier-esque thingies like they did in Charlie's Place!!


The beautiful pool. Sorry about the blur pic, but that's night vision for you. Don't want to be giving off any jakun-ish flashes.


That's the bar area at the right hand corner of the photo. If someone would give me the chance to swim alone on a clear starry KL night, I'd be.... there are no words to describe my gratitude.


Chien and Liss


Hsien and I


The stone steps. Hsien was saying that the last time she came here, they sat on the steps and spent time talking into the night.


Chun Meng and Chun Guan. Chun Meng had a few shots by then, which explains the red face.


Melissa's black black thing which is quite strong, Hsien's Marguerita and my Tequila Sunrise.


Kay Hong the hamsap handsome.


My current MSN display picture. Ho ho ho ho. My drink matches my earrings.

That's the most bimbotic thing I've heard ever since I heard about a lady who changes her car so that it matches her nail colour.


Amanda and me.


Kay Hong and me.


Barry and me.


KL Tower was just ABOVE our heads. *swoons*


There's a brick wall which had a steady stream of water running down from it and a few spotlights were placed strategically apart to create a zen-like effect.


l-r: Chun Meng, Chun Guan, Chien, Liss, Kevin, Hsien and Kay Hong


Chun Meng and me.


Hsien and me.


The lovebirds that disappeared for more than half the night. I don't even have a decent photo of the two of them on my camera. Sheesh.


l-r: Hsien, Liss and me. Excuse me, but I'm allergic to the flashes on other cameras..I don't know why..


Here's a shot of the city. My hands were shaky leh.


I was shouting, "THAT'S GENTING!! See Genting?!! That IS Genting!!!! Helooo Genting!!!"


It IS Genting Highlands. I remember seeing it from the Karak Highway a long time ago.


A view from the top of Luna Bar. You can still see Genting from here. If I don't use this night vision mode, nothing will appear. Hence abit of shakiness will have to be beared.


If only I had a tripod. Look at the lights. Look at the way it glows in the night. The beam of lights just goes up up and up..


Perhaps the beam of light might even reach the stratosphere.


KL Tower was only a paraglide away.


A view of the pool from the top of the bar.


A blurry one of me with a bit of the view.


Amanda and Sean


My hand got a little more stable. I've climbed into the alcove and gone trigger happy.


Ji Yang and Chien


Can you see Shangri-La? Just walk over the ledge and you will fall from the 33th floor of that Menara something something.


Forgive me, but camwhoring. With the reflection and all. Hehehe.


Chun Guan and Nigel.


OOh! The view is clearer in this pic.


Another nice reflection picture.


Kay Hong and Liss having a chat.


So was Chien and Chun Guan.


Hsien and Marcus.


l-r: Chun Meng and Barry. They look nice here!


Amanda and Sean.


I bumped into Joshua there!! Somehow or other I was not THAT surprised, though I should be, all the way from Subang and all.
l-r: Joshua's friend Yi Chien, Me, Joshua.


l-r: Ghim Su, Yi Chien.
These are Joshua's college mates. Very nice people. :) I went up to introduce myself and they made me feel at ease at once.


The sliding door outside Luna. Hehehe.

It was not too bad as we arrived back in Subang slightly after 1am.

Woke up at about....1pm to a phone call.

The guy on the phone asked me to "Guess who!" and I said, "Don't want. Who's this.". I was roused from my slumber.

"It's me lah, Chee Kiang!"

Woops. My hearing's a lil impaired in the early mornings. afternoons.

Anyway, my dear boyfriend is back from Singapore, surprise!!


We couldn't get tickets for Initial D or even War Of the Worlds. The urban folks will always be in a mad race to catch the latest shows. So we ended up in Taipan's Coffeebean. :)


I realised we've never properly camwhored. What with him being away in Singapore most of the time.



Alright, I quite like this post. Beautiful Luna and a wonderful night in Coffeebean.

The time is 3.30am and the parents are bringing me to look for that NS meeting point in Klang tomorrow. Sigh. Oh! And there's Blook's fashion show at Subang Parade tomorrow. Will be back with more pictures. Yes, again.

Kyle's Surprise Birthday and Being Kepo

Even if it's a little late, we still decided to give Kyle a 'surprise belated birthday'. Amanda(Tan) called me two days before and asked me to help call Kyle's friend.

So sorry, but all not free and I don't know enough of them. :(


We met up at Aileen's house before heading towards Kyle's. See? I was the only outsider, as they're all doing architecture at TCPJ. Save for David, who was.
l-r: David, Choon How, Livee, Wei Kiat, Amanda, Aileen, Sam

I was surprised to see David there as well! :) How nice to meet a fellow PPS blogger on a lazy Thursday morning.


It wasn't much of a surprise because we reached at different times. Hahaha, but nevertheless, we were there for Kyle. Right?


Yup, Kyle was happy. That's nice. :)


The best part has yet to come.


The obligatory sunken candle trick.


Amanda and me. We finally had the chance to meet properly despite harassing each other's blogs and talking to each other online for nearly a year.


LOL.. Aileen pushed Kyle's head into the cake. This is the first time I've really seen something like that. Usually Chien will be at birthday celebrations with me and she won't allow anyone to torture the birthday boy/birthday girl.


The indentation of Kyle's face.


Aileen having a good laugh.


Hahaha.. I don't like the colour of the stains. At all.


l-r: Me, Sam, Choon How, David

After the mini party, I followed Esther to school to collect her brother's report card. I would have gone for my own brother's but I was unfortunately sleeping like a pig.


l-r: Me, David, Esther.

David was here to collect his brother's report card as well. Haha. I do realise I have two Davids in my post today. One's a Teoh and one's a Lim.


Esther's sister, Alicia and me.


I like small boys.. they are so adorable. *hamsap face*


After camwhoring for quite a bit, I was looking around for my bottle of water. This has happened many many times back in school. Sigh.


I was hoping Esther wouldn't fall over.


Somehow or other the positioning of the sunlight in our school is really nice.


A typical graffiti on the walls. So young also so emo adi. "I tear my heart open.."


I wanted a picture with my hair blowing in the wind, but this will do.


OH NO!! Our hideout place back in those days.. is now converted into a toilet.


Apparently these are the afternoon session's board of directors. I just thought that it'd be nice to take a picture with some prefects. Getting nostalgic here. I *actually* felt a little wary when I saw so many green figures in the school compound..


Look who's waiting for his brother to come out from school as well??
This is Ying Quan, and we're of the same age. Once, someone thought I was his mother. *^^**##&$$%(*&^^^%. If I see that girl again......*pummels fist into pillow*


Apparently he got into Boston University and will be off in August. Sigh, I'll miss him.

Driving down the road from school, we bumped into Wai Ping and Kah Kit. Out comes the camera again.


Did you know that Kah Kit is a real camwhore? Everytime he sees my camera, for sure he will take it from me and do this:

 
He actually propped the camera on top of Esther's Kelisa and started snapping away.


Wai Ping apologising for Kah Kit's camwhoring tendencies. It's okay, we come from the same mindset.


Met up at Chinspiration outside college as Chun Meng's back. And also to see people like dear Kwo Kuang lah.
top l-r: Chun Guan, Chun Meng, Kwo Kuang
bottom l-r: Me, Chien and Hsien.


My yucky mushroom quiche. They've done away with the gravy and it sucks quite badly now. Blehh.


Chun Meng looking on as Kwo Kuang does his impersonation of this famous comedian(can't remember the name) that has been going around the internet for ages. I must see it.

Forgive me for the barrage of photos and influx of posts. I'll be going for national service soon and I won't be able to update as often as I would like to and I won't be seeing all these people for quite a while. Most of them will be gone when I am back... so, bear with the photos. :)

Next up! Pictures from Luna Bar. The place is friggin beautiful.

I Am A Push Over

Every year in Taylor's College, when a batch of students leave to make way for the next batch, the former will take advantage of the newbies and pedal our textbooks to them. Since the second intake for A-levels came in last Monday, Esther, Hsien, me and a few others threw our books into the car this morning and set up stall in the grounds of Taylor's College.

Business was o-kay lah. I actually made RM250 from my books. I managed to sell them for more than half the price. My photocopied books(about 20 of them) are left untouched. So sad. Anybody want to buy? Going at RM5 regardless of titles. Email me for the titles.

There were some really cheeky customers who haggled with me. I asked for RM70 for a RM109 book that I have hardly used. Original, somemore. She said, "RM50 la.."
And I said, "Rm65...can lahh.... " and then she said, "Aiyooooo... Rm 60 la... you so pretty.".. and I stupidly said, "oklaaaaaaa..". Now come to think of it, that was such a cheap shot. Calling me pretty and asking me for a low price. I was perhaps temporarily inflated and had no space for brain work.

Shittttttttt. 

Same goes for a few other books. I could have hit RM300 if only I wasn't so soft. But what to do? If you want to get rid of your books..:( And after I sold the biological science books, another girl came up to me and saw the price list and said that those were very good prices and she would have bought them for RM80(as stated), not Rm65 like how I was so silly to give in to. CAN I PLEASE BANG MY HEAD ON THE WALL? I need to learn the art of haggling.


Boxes of photocopied books. Apparently earlier in the morning, a lady from Taylor's College confisticated all the photocopied books that were displayed. So, better to play safe and hide them in a box. :)


My price list and my measely display.


The spot where we pedaled our books together.


Part of the crowd who were trying to take advantage of the newbies as well.


Esther and Charles


Very pitiful leh, nobody want to buy Chemistry Dictionary.(I know, wtf?)
Photo inspired by Kimberlycun. Though my muka kesian not as cute as her's lah. Need more practice.


l-r: Soon Seng, Wei Xian, Me


l-r: Me, Eleanor, Chester


l-r: Esther, Kwo Kuang, Me. Forgive my boobs for looking obscenely huge. It's not me, it's the bra. It's the scary bra.


l-r: Esther, Hsien, Tanya


Our books combined.


Kay Hong who is currently working as a HAHAHAHAHAAH, head HAHAHAHAHAHHAA publisher at HAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAH Aus Ed HAHAHAHAHAHAH earning HAHAHAHAHAHHAA a shitload of money that can HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAA buy a 3G phone HAHAHAHAHHA came to disturb us. I asked him if he needs to get back to work and he said, "No need lah, now faxing things." -_-;.

This is Kay Hong who managed to juggle three jobs back in 2002 at the same time: Focus Point, Holiday Villa and Sushi King(he got fired from Sushi King. Hahahaha). At the same time he even applied for a position at Miss Selfridge("So can see leng lui!")He was also working in Buy Sell Trade and would work for 1 hour to distribute flyers when he should be working for 5 hours. I love this guy, he really does the craziest things to entertain the people around him.


l-r: Kay Hong, Me, Esther


Waiting for customers. Amanda got that fluffy pen for me when she went to UK.


Hsien and her classmates.
l-r: Li Suen, Tanya, Hsien, Alicia and Galven.


Hsien and I


Li Suen and Kay Hong the hamsap


Aliana


l-r: Eleanor, Shi Wei, Esther, Aileen and me.


Dhivia and i!


Kwo Kuang and I. Purposely one la the fella. Hmph.


Our measely stall.


Kat and Kok Weng. They've been together ever since they were in form2! Amazing man, that is half a decade okay??


After lunch, Esther and I went to Pyramid to join David, Li Peng, Edison, Jiun Haw and Tze Leet for a movie. We decided to watch The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy. Ok-only lah, the show.


Decided to drop in on Siew Kin who is currently working in Adidas. Ehehehe, my god, he is so red, blending in with the wall and all.


I dropped one of my earrings underneath the seats after the movie. Thank god for handphones with lights.


Ooh! I've never done this before. Camwhoring underneath the chairs in TGV. Now, now, don't shake your head at me. I know my hair is yucky here, shaddap.

The national service letter has finally arrived!!!!!!! I actually whooped happily when I saw it on the table.


I am...actually looking ..er forward to it. Er.. ehehhe. Strange hor?


Ended the night hanging out with Chien at Starbucks. Her treat. :P According to her, it's her turn since I paid for her dinner during the PPS bash. Had to do something lah since they were so kind as to teman me to the bash. :)

Hi, my name is Jolene and if there is a question in your head, this answer will definitely answer it: I was wrong and irrational. I was being a woman.

Jolene Lai, Jolene Lai,
Came to life in January and not July,
She is 19 years of age,
Can't wait to earn her own wage,
This dental student is home sick,
Will never be in Kedah for more than three weeks.

Subang Jaya is where she's from,
The only place she'll ever call home.
Has a boyfriend, a brother and a dog,
The things she says can give you a shock.

Especially for her father, who always gets a heart attack when he reads this blog.

Hey, rhymes!
