Left for KL at about noon. The apartment we lived in was not bad. Only that we had to change lifts and only one lift was working so it takes a long time to wait for the lift. KL i should say had more drama. Of coz when you go KL, you have to go to Petaling Street a.k.a China Town. A place to get cheap stuffs. Of coz its a place where you can get cheated of your money la. Thats when your bargaining skills comes in handy. You have to be bold and aggresive to get the stuff dat you want at the price dat you are willing to pay.
Petaling Street is oso scary as there are alot of thieves and homeless people. Well atleast the stuffs available there is worth the risk. Plus, the two times i have been to KL, i always missed the chance to go to Times Square. The first time was because there were'nt much time and the second time is because it was pouring heavily and most of my relatives never bring umbrella eventhough they bring big bags.
When i was at Sungei Wang, i oso saw an heated argument between a malaysian and a foreigner. It was a chinese malaysian and he was shouting sumting like "This is malaysia ok","do you know this is racist!","go backt o your country la!". then the caucasian guy kept repeating "i'll KILL you!". Reminded me of the funny skit of the skeleton saying "i'll kill you"haha.
The traffic at KL is oso spectacular. It always scares me to cross the road as eventhough the light is green, i wouldn't dare to cross coz cars would still zoom by. Like a cab i took. He drove into places that cars are not allowed in like the sidewalks. I was praying the whole journey and he said sumting i found really funny. My aunty asked wether he is really allowed to drive like that and he said"mestilah boleh, Malaysia Boleh ma"haha,
You know that Malaysia has this motto right. Sumting dat goes Malaysia Boleh! so i found it really true.
Of coz as foreigners, we were treated differently. Our last day, we went to Pavillion which was across the appartment we were staying in. Went into BATA and there was this very rude sales girl. My aunt asked for a size 9 and 10 of the same shoes. The lady tooked out a size 10 and when my aunt asked for the size 9, she started screaming "ni size 10! ni size 10!" crazy. She even insulted my aunt by saying in mandarin thinking my cuz dun understand it"na ge fei puo, yao hai se bu yao?"(sp?). Translating to" that fatty one or dun want". It is a fact dat my aunt is curvy but as a sales person, you should be more courteous and i toght in the sales industry, Customer is always right?.
We oso ate at this stall called The Kopitiam Place if i'm not wrong at the Pavillion oso. In total 18 adults including me went la being another 3 kids. So out of 18, like 12 wanted to eat the Nasi Lemak Special set. Out of 12, 5 got to eat the set and when it was my turn to order, the lady said that there is no more nasi lemak. So we asked how long does it take to wait for the Nasi lemak to be prepared again. Then she said" sementara waktu dah takda LANGSUNG" translating to " At the moment, NONE AT ALL".
In other words dat means there is no more Nasi Lemak at all. So we ordered sumting else. The next ting we know, 3 mins later while we were indulging the food, we saw 2 workers carrying a tray of Nasi Lemak Special Set. Sakit hati or wat!
The sentence "At the moment, NONE AT ALL" and the sentence "At the moment, IT IS NOT READY" DIFFERS OK! She could say it would be ready in 5 minutes and we could happily wait since we were not in a rush wat. Why would she have to lie and stupidly serve the Nasi Lemak when she knew we were still eating at one corner of the place.
I am SERIOUSLY not implying anything at all. I just find the treatment we got from some of the people there really absurd. Like the BATA incident, the Manager saw the rude treatment we got from her worker but she stood there acting like nothing happened.
Aside from those two incidents, of coz there are nice people too la. Like the polite taxi drivers, the funny and kind Coffee Bean workers, the kind SUBWAY workers. Speaking of which, i finally got to eat SUBWAY!!! been longing to eat that lor but since in Singapore it is not HALAL, i can only enjoy it with my eyes. It is seriously OISHII NE!!haha
okok, now for the pictures ok. Not much of my pic as saya shy la!haha. And if i may add on, The chinese people there speaking in Malay is a serious TURN ON!haha. I just find it hot ok.lol
p/s: Pics would be up tomorrow ok. Photobucket is working slowly and testing my patience.
Kamsa Hamnida!
