Big Stitch!! Just wanna put the pic sumwhere~ ^^Nowadays people hardly find time for each other. This hectic lifestyle is considered a norm in busy cities like Kuala Lumpur. Especially during this period where inflation occurred and everyone is affected badly due to the rise in petrol and food. Fresh graduates are trying hard to find jobs to help support their family’s burden or just to survive in this harsh time. However, the pay is not enough and the pressure of getting a good job with high salary is getting to those who had graduated recently.
I have a few friends who are on a job hunt now, however the pay are meager and demanding. I’m dreading the time whence I’ll graduate and it’ll be harder for me to find a job. Hopefully I can get a good job as I have a lot of debts on my shoulder right now. You won’t believe how much debts a person who is still a student can shoulder. Let’s see, I have to pay installment for my car, PTPTN, insurance and house loan. Gosh, how am I going to survive?
Well, enough about the sad stuff, on the brighter side, last Sunday my friends and I went out on an outing which I dubbed as the “KL tour for Dummies”. You see, we are all city people and practically live in KL and yet we deemed it necessary to explore KL. But don’t worry, because we did not step into Pudu station as Dr. Haresh said and I quote, “I think Pudu station has at least 5000 cfu” which means that that place is infested with millions of bacteria. Eww, thinking about it give me the shudders.
I’m getting out of topic again and I always do it subconsciously. I guess I’m a bit absent-minded. See, I did it again. Okay, let’s get back to the main topic. Er, where was I again? Oh right, the “KL tour for Dummies”.
It was early morning and the sky was gloomy. It’s a perfect day to walk around KL. I made some tortillas for my friends as breakfast so that we will not starve before we reach there. I fetched my friends from the same neighborhood as mine and head out to another friend’s place. We goof around a lot during the trip and in the blink of an eye; we have reach to our destination. First stop, Petaling Street. It’s a must to go there because all the things there are so cheap. Since I’m so used to supermarkets and shopping malls, I did not realize that there are things out there that are cheap and very affordable.
Not only it’s cheap, you can actually bargain with the seller to make the item even cheaper. That is what my friend did, bargain her way until the seller became speechless. It’s a comfort having her around Petaling Street because she knows all the tactics and ways to get her way. After loitering around at Petaling Street, we decided to move on to our next destination, Central Market.
Let me clear out one thing, I’ve been to Central Market before this about 10 years ago. But it did not look like this when I was there 10 years ago and the best thing was that the whole place is air-conditioned. Woohoo. We walked around the whole place and I’m acting like I just came from a village and had never seen a city. In a way, I am fascinated by the things that they sell there. So many art works and handicraft and most are affordable. I can’t help myself and bought a small silk pouch that goes perfectly with my yukata. We even chatted with an owner of a shop who thought that we are secondary school students. Imagine that.
Somehow, we managed to squeeze a bit of time to go KLCC, which is also another famous hotspot at KL. We went window shopping around, spent a lot of time at Kinokuniya and later, went out to the park to take some memorable pictures.
2 random people that started jumping around in the KLCC park (really dunno who they are) =.=
Psst, dun go so near them, pretend that u cannot see them
Oh my gosh, they are practically dancing in the street...0.o
Err...viewer's discretion??
Ooook....back to normal or as normal as it can get..^^
Lastly, around 6.45pm we went to Pandan Indah to a place called LookOut Point that has a spectacular view of sunset and also the KL city view from a restaurant. We sat there and silently enjoying the sunset view that most of us don’t even bother to spend a few minutes to look at. The night view of KL city was breath-taking with all the sky-lights and the hustle-bustle of the city. We even saw Genting Highlands from where we stand surrounded by the greeneries. We felt peaceful there by just breathing in the fresh cold mountain air with the sounds of insects as the background sound.

We took a lot of pictures and generally had fun the whole day around KL. So as a closure, in this “KL tour for Dummies”, I can proudly say that I am a dummy because the experience gained from the visit in KL is worth taking.
