Labour Day


Get a call from Adrian asking if I want breakfast and I assume it’s over at the usual place in Sunway Dataran, as he asks me to meet there. When I get there, I get a cryptic call saying 'don't get a seat in the restaurant, just wait for us on the road', which I do, like a common prostitute…

When they arrive they say that we are going to Klang for bak kut teh – what a great idea! I did think - 'another road trip out for a bowl of soup' (re: the Genting thing yesterday), but I'd never been to Klang, so it was something different. And certainly worth it - the soup was delicious.

Afterwards we headed to this place called Hulu Yam for a picnic: and sort of typically though, the actual picnic area was more like a roadside lay-by, but after a glass of wine and a bit of pizza, it didn’t seem to matter - the views of the lake and dam were great.

Nearby was a small village that apparently had the best prawn noodles, but when we arrived it was completely packed and to be honest, we were all a bit stuffed, so we gave the prawns a miss and headed to a waterfall area instead and climbed about in the water for a while. The only thing that spoiled this was the tonnes of rubbish strewn around the riverside...

After a few hours here we head back to KL via this smart residential area called Desa Park City for a drink and I then head home to relax before having to go back to work tomorrow. 

What a lovely weekend – and it seemed to last for ages.
