There is probably a lot of this blog that i have forgotten so i am sorry in advance , i will do my best to paint it with pictures instead :)
We arrived in Malaysia from Thailand on New Years Ever via the sleeper train , which is not quite 5 * accommodation however looking at the 3rd class train tickets i think we made the right choice :)
So as we got off the train we fell in to the Golden arches(McDonalds') and tried to contact the Malay’s so that we could be picked up by them and go onwards from there .
Abby Picked us up to tell us that he did not know the roads and gets lost a lot around KL despite living there all his life ?
After we made it to our new place(TC’s House) for the next 2 weeks , we were told that Raja was having a quiet house party including some of the staff of Skirmish Asia ,
Pictures dont do this justice , we left the Camera back at the room )
Party attire was mandatory
The Asians and there way of lighting fire works :)
Think of a crate of beer in size and these the fire works they were letting of at midnight , they lasted for around 15 minutes a piece .Rajas neighbours we not impressed , so it was all good :)
Dean being Dean :)
New Years Day , TC has asked us to come along to a meal at a paintball site with a difference .The Venue was called Isi Rimba which is just outside KL with a paintball site ,home stay , jungle survival centre and an outside natural pool for the local kids . oh and random karaoke hut in the middle of nowhere …..
These are just a selection of photos from the great site :)
The following day , we had a pretty much free day , until Dean asked us do we want to come and play some rec ball (paintball) at his site .
Naomi looking smoking hot :)
We also got to meet some local wildlife,that does not bite !!
Then the refs from the site found this in the field that we using to play paintball in . Nothing like playing paintball in the woods and not knowing what’s next to you :)
So as most of you know , After having my little illness last yr , i have had my very own “power leg” Dean was keen to help me resolve my fat leg , Now he said to me , we will just go and see this Chinese doctor that i know , they will just asses you ….. ok , i am willing to try anything once , so with Naomi in tow with dean of we went .
So after we arrive it was a 3 way conversation with the doctor dean and myself he was translating for me….. he sounded like a mechanic with knackered old car ,lots of ooooohhhhh , doesn't look good , so after beating my leg up for what felt like an age , he then asked if it would be ok to perform acupuncture on me.
After they had put 12’ needles in to my leg with a mallet , pretty sure he was insistent on trying to hurt the white boy . he then wired them up to the sodding electrical mains .so my leg involuntary starting jump around the table …. oh so much fun ! ;)
After this little bit of fun , the doctor then gave me what i can only a concoction of leaves and roots , one to make into a broth and drink the other to put my leg into .like a bath . so i followed these steps the following pictures are the outcome of this .
The making of the broth !!!
The drinking of the broth
The evacuation of the broth .Honestly have not been sick for yrs , felt like i had 10 pints of Stella .
After throwing up nothing like a kebab to sort you out :)
This place was really good , buffet style and eate of banana leafs with our right hands only !!! :)
We went for a walk the next day to do the tourist stuff within KL
Pertronas Towers and the grounds that surround it .
The park near to the sky tower lots of walking up lots of steps , awesome !!
oH LOOK music to listen too and a sky line full of cloud
Although Naomi was happy to have done this , so she could tell her Mummy and Daddy !! :)
While we had been in Malaysia there had been lots of meals and drinking as , TC ,Dean ,Abby and Raja had looked after us soo well , but one evening they told us to put a shirt on , now the people that have been reading our blogs will know we had some clothes made in Vietnam , so time to break out the pin stripe shirt :)
One of the highlights was this place , the view is something special although theres something about drinking vodka neat out of a bottle which does not really say class :)
As we walked to the 38th Floor of the hotel , the bar was called the skybar , So as you can see , it really was in the sky! We had great seats on the right hand side , looking across the city at the towers.
Naomi with Azilla,Dina and me…….enjoying myself :)
Abby looking a little worse for wear and Uncle TC
Dean and Tc giving Abby some love.

The end of a great night , followed by some more food :)
As the weeks were running by , The guys at skirmish asked us if we would like to go to Borneo , for a Paintball event , not to be one to turn it down , we obliged ……… Malaysian Borneo here we come ,
