Was awake all night because there were loads of ants in the bed crawling all over my legs and up my shorts. Went for breakfast at the Chinese at about 12 and then wandered to the shopping malls. I split up from everyone for about 2 hours because I saw something I wanted to get for someone but couldn't find the shop I saw it in because the mall was so massive and every shop looked identical, it really pissed me off. Coops had a shocker on the walk back from the mall, she was slipping on nearly every step she took, I think she slipped more on today than on the trek in Taman Negara. I'm actually surprised she hasn't broken a bone yet. Walked back to the hostel and went out for a Kenny Rogers, just as good as Nandos. Went to the KL Tower in the night, my ears popped as we went up, the viewing platform was 276 metres high. Didn't get very good photos because of the lights reflecting off the window. On the way back we managed to get another really cramped taxi drive to chinatown and spent an hour or so wandering around the market looking for bags for Coops because hers is broken, and generally seeing how many people would try to sell us a wallet, lighter, bag, t-shirt or sunglasses. Found some woman selling magnetic bracelets, but she was also selling backs-scratchers. Me and burns spent about 20 minutes shouting 'Back-Scratcher.....Back-scratcher', her English was poor but we eventually got her to say it as well and we burst out laughingH as we went round the corner we found a sunglasses stall, they had the bigggest novelty pair of glasses ever, so we tried them on and were actually in tears with laughter by this time.

Woke late and ate at the rooftop bar. Went to the KLCC park to play frisbee, it was roasting when we got there so me pat and burns took our shirts off and started to throw the frisbee about. Within 2 minutes of playing a park warden came over and blew her whistle at Pat and told him not to throw things in the park and to put some clothes on. So that was the end of that. We found a seat in the shade and played boggle with scrabble pieces again, I actually had a chance at winning this round but Burns managed to get some insane score with loads of 4 letter words with ed on the end as well. Walked around the park a bit and crossed the platform over the pool, another warden had her whistle ready in her lips just incase we didn't take our flip-flops off first. Found an area to play frisbee where there were no wardens but Pats frisbee skills weren't up to scratch and we had to call it a day when he nearly took a Malaysians head off. Sat down with our feet in the pool and played the name game again. Burn's didn't take his sandals off and loads of freshly cut grass ended up floating around in the water, everywhere was in pristine condition except for where we sat which now looked like any park in the UK all because of Burns. Soon enough a warden came and told us to get our feet out of the water, so we decided to leave because we couldn't do anthing fun in the park anyway. Wandered around the KLCC mall looking for an ice-cream, couldn't find one, but we did manage to find a Cobblers, I didn't think cobblers existed any more.

Took the LRT back to the hostel and chilled out before eating at the Chinese on the corner again. Went back to the rooftop bar and played cards, they had a firework display to celebrate Melaka's heritage. Pat and Burns stayed there for the football the rest of us went back to the room and me and Coops played 20 questions. The first one she had was an animal with no legs, fur or eyes that lived in salt water and didn't have fins. I couldn't get it, turned out it was a jellyfish. Helen had a stinking headache so passed out and me and coops chatted s*** until the lads came back down, Burns was a bit depressed after loosing 3-0 to Man City.

Had breakfast on the rooftop bar again, Coops and Helen then went to the Central Market while me Pat and Burns got a taxi to a driving range. It was really posh, they had automatic golf tees but we couldn't figure out how to use them, we spent ages swiping our card on the machine before being told we were in the members only area and we needed to go up a flight of stairs first. Got there and started smacking some balls, Pat was rediculously good, he was asking us to pick targets for him, so we picked the lights on the side of the range and he hit them first time. About 20 minutes in we heard what sounded like someone dropping a buckekt of balls, looked around to find that the ball dispensing mechanism had broken and hundreds of balls were falling down, it lasted for about 10 minutes and the floor was covered in golf balls. People were going crazy taking loads of balls back to their tees. Burns' shots started slicing to the right every time and going really high, he sent a few of them over the netting and into the car park on the other side. I eventually managed to hit the 100 and 200 metre signs. The taxi driver we asked to pick us up at 5.30 was bang on time and we got home in no time.

Ate on the street from a little restaurant that cooked rice with meat in Clay Pots and you just get served a giant clay pot. They were really tasty but you don't get as much in the pot as you think. Went and watched episodes of coupling on the TV in the hostel and eventually had so many travellers sitting around laughing along it was like a cinema. We attempted to watch Look Around You but the girls didn't get it at all, me and Burns were laughing so much we started to cry and they were just laughing at us, no sense of humour. The German bloke sitting behind us found it hillarious but I'm not sure his girlfriend did.

Got up really late and weren't really sure what to do. Decided to go to the shopping malls one last time. When we got there Burns had to go for a turd and the rest of us split up, me and Pat went to the arcade and the girls went to do a last bit of shopping. We told Burns to meet us at the arcade and pointed in the direction we would be. After a while of waiting for Burns we thought he must be lost so Pat went to the loo to have a look for him, he wasn't there. Eventually we bumped in to the girls again by chance and we still hadn't found him. We decided to just go to the arcade and hope he would eventually find us. Had a 4 player Daytona race, Helen drove right into me and wiped me out, then we had a go at table football, Coops and Pat spanked us. Still no Burns, the girls went back to muffin corner which had been our meeting place to wait for him if he eventually showed. Me and Pat had a go on Time Crisis and while we were playing Burns showed up informing us that he had had 2 nasty turds. Found a drum machine that worked like guitar hero, so had a go on it and whipped pat. Eventually went back to muffin corner and met the girls. The lads went to an internet cafe to upload photos while me and the girls played cards at muffin corner. Helen went to the loo so me and Coops started a quick game of speed, after the first round we had a bit of an audience, all the cleaning crew from the mall were standing around watching and loads of locals were peering in, they were loving it. Walked back along Pudu Road for the last time, that makes the count 14. Ate at an Indian place, probably the worst food I've had in a while. We ordered Naans when we got them they were giant roti's, they were actually alright though, and the sauce was really nice. Should have just had that for dinner really because the chicken curry should have just been called bone curry. Helen asked for the least spicy thing on the menu and it when she got it it was the most spicy curry she had tasted since the start of traveling. Coops ordered veg curry, I tried some of it, it was like sour gone off yoghurt but with crunchy bits in. Got back to the room and Heroes episode 4 had finished downloading so Coops, Pat and I watched that before going to sleep.
