So on the 5th of August I turned 24… and I did it with style!

We had arrived in KL the night before, we expanded the budget by 500% and splashed out on a luxary room. But I got to choose the room, I found a boutique hotel with rooms of all different themes, from The Beatles to Michael Jackson, The Fairytale room to the Wildwest, but none could beat the SPACE Room! Two floors with all the walls covered in useless switches and dials, murals of nebula’s and planets, UV lights making it all pop and come alive. Captains chairs and even a toilet phone… this was a dream come true.

The day of we had a ridiculously painful massage, and to find a massage parlour that doesn’t give happy endings you have to pay a high price, but we had an authentic Thai full body massage… which translates to having every joint in your body stretched twisted in unholy ways and clicked… THEY CLICKED MY TOES! Each… and one by one… I still shudder.

Of course in usual style we feasted on the best foods we could get our hands on, had some retail therapy, then got ready for an escape room! it was good fun, we had to hunt down some crazy “keep him away from schools” type magician. We failed at the last hurdle, but had a great time… and since that day I have sworn my revenge on that dark magician.

Coline took me for part of her gift to the four seasons where we royally dined on gold topped burgers and sipped overpriced cocktails whilst gazing at the KL skyline.

It was a good day, every day on this trip has been a good day (even the ones sat on the toilet emptying my body wieght) and I hope this continues. Thank you to everyone again who sent me their love in one way or another it was the salt which made my birthday french fry worthy.
