I think I left off with Quddus and I arriving in Malaysia, greeted by Amy, Roshan, and Ryan "Lion" Lash...This is exactly where our unbelievable journey of eating began.
Quddus and I arrived at around 11pm, which we thought was appropriate for sleep, but which roshan and amy indicated was actually perfect for visiting a 'mamak'. You see, 'mamak' is actually the name for an indian-muslim man, but over time, has become synonymous with the 24-hour eateries which these men so often run. So we went, for the first visit of many, to a place called Sukumaran's (suku's for short) in Subang Jaya, which is a suburb of KL. Here we watched a premier-league game projected on a large screen outside the restaurant, ate a few kinds of roti, and drank some tehtarik.
Now, this all happened what seems like ages ago, so I'm not going to aspire to a chronological tale of the events, but I will list Everything I can remember/have noted, and then tell you guys about a few of the notable events.

It was so wise of you to escape from Witch Mountain. In Melaka, friends invited us and we couldn't say no, but that was too corny! At least, the half an hour that I made myself watch it was so. The rest I was sleeping! ;)
Haha, we went to see the jackie chan movie originally, but we came late, and all that was left was race to witch mountain...all I remember is the way the kids talked...sad, but proper and complete english has become a point of comedy :)
