Saturday, 30th January 2010 - We reached KL Central at about 1:30 a.m. in the morning and checked in to MyHotel just very near to KL Central Monorail station. We were hungry after checking in and we went out for "chuee cheong funn" just outside the hotel, sold by a somewhat fierce auntie.
When we went back to our room, the fusebox tripped and I tried calling the reception but there was no one to pick up. Since the air conditioner was still functioning and half of the lights still hadn't gone out, I decided to call again in the morning. The next morning, I called the reception again and the dialogue as follows took place:
receptionist: hello?
me: hello, yeah, erm, last night my room's fusebox tripped.
receptionist: THEN?
me: could you send some assistance up here please? room 208, thanks.
My goodness, "THEN"? I thought the hotel's staff should send someone up to see if the guest is safe? I told my friends this and they laughed rolling on the floor. Anyway, after preparing ourselves, we went to Petaling Street for lunch. We had porridge and after that, we went for the colourful sesame cake (mua chee). After that, we headed straight to Times Square and started our mission. I met some familiar faces in Times Square (as I would always whenever I visit KL) and only one I called - Teo Ken. It had been 3 years since I last saw him and I was happy to have seen him (rather than to see my ex!). I talked to him for a while and then headed back to look for Auntie Yang.
After a few hours window shopping around, I bugged Auntie Yang to head for Sg. Wang. At that time, Ms. World called and asked us to have lunch together. At the same time, Auntie Yang's friend, "Ms. Cheras", and Dr. Lim just reached Times Square to meet up with us. So we had lunch and then continued our shopping separately. I, together with Auntie Yang and Ms. Cheras went over to Sg. Wang while Ms. Wolrd, Ms. Earth, Dr. Lim and Mohd. Cheah remained at Times Square.
Long we shopped and I only managed to buy myself a black T-shirt. After that, we went back to Times Square to decide where to have dinner. Ms. Cheras had to get home as it was getting late, so she left. Ms. Earth had things to do at Pavilion, so she & Mohd. Cheah headed there, while Dr. Lim headed to Puduraya bus depot to get herself a bus ticket for her return journey on Monday. Meanwhile, Ms. World, Auntie Yang & I continued our short shopping. We went into Old Skull to try out some clothes. One cute short guy assisted me and as I was trying out a pair of pants, he asked Ms. World whether we're from Klang or not. I guess it must be because we spoke Hokkien to each other.
We were supposed to meet at Petaling Street for dinner, so I went over there to meet Dr. Lim first because she had difficulty locating the ticket counter at the bus depot. It was getting late, thus Dr. Lim had to get home first, hence not joining us for dinner. I sent her to the LRT station and then rejoined Ms. World and Auntie Yang waiting for Ms. Earth and Mohd. Cheah (they got lost in Pavilion). When they got to Petaling Street, we had dinner at Petaling Street - the famous Hokkien Mee, then headed back to the hotel.
aftermath of hau kor...Sunday, 31st January 2010 - I was supposed to meet up with "Super Lenglui" Soon Yee & "Leng Guu" Sue Zin at Mid Valley today but due to Sue Zin having diarrhoea, it was canceled. I then led my friends to Sunway Pyramid via KTM commuter. The walk from Setia Jaya station to Sunway Pyramid terrified them. The journey was as far as 3 Queensbay Malls. I've journeyed twice before, so I was ready for it. However, poor my friends, they were not ready. Once there, we had pasta for lunch and then started our mission again. This time, Auntie Yang & I shopped together and I got myself 1 T-shirt & 2 shirts. Goodness, we spent 1 hour just to try one piece and to pay for one piece of T-shirt at Romp. There were too many people shopping at that store.
Nighttime came and we went back KL Central then headed to Pavilion to experience the "Lost" of Ms. Earth and Mohd. Cheah. We had dinner there at the food court and then headed back to our hotel. Nothing much to cerita here because nothing funny happened.
Monday, 1st February 2010 - The Beh Hau Kor people went shopping at Sg. Wang while I met up with Soon Yee & Sia Chin at Cheras for dimsum this morning and we updated ourselves with each other. Then we paid Sue Zin a visit and talked further. Somehow, I felt I was myself again when talking with them. I love them very much, but I couldn't stay there long because I still had many other things waiting to be done. I parted with them and Soon Yee sent me back to the LRT station and I said goodbye to her.
I headed for Hang Tuah and hopped on to the monorail that Dr. Lim was on to get to Chow Kit then to Kamal Bookstore. I remembered Bernice wanted to get a book from Kamal so I SMSed her. She called back but her voice was not clear so I asked her to SMS me. However, after long, only did she replied. I was short of time but luckily she replied on time. After searching and buying, I took Dr. Lim to Pavilion, then to Sg. Wang to do her shopping. Then we went back to Times Square to reunite with the Beh Hau Kor people. I did a flash shopping and got myself a pair of pants from Old Skull. That small cute guy still recognised me and the pants he promoted two days ago.
After shopping, it was time for us to say goodbye to Dr. Lim. She was taking a bus back to Penang while we others were flying back. It was difficult for my heart when I took the last step out from the monorail train. It felt sour. Somehow, all the memories came back to me. My heart was heavy to leave KL but I had to.
clothes I bought...Tuesday, 2nd February 2010 - I woke up missing KL very much. It was not because I missed shopping in KL. My actual intention of going to KL was not to shop. I was actually "cheated" to join the Beh Hau Kor people to go to KL in the first place, and I felt sad leaving KL. It happens everytime I visit and leave KL. Maybe it was because there were too many memories in KL and KL had become part of my life...
