Mun: July 2010

Today was an interesting day. Went to places around KL using lotsa public transport. I can pretty much go a lot of places now, just with lrt.

So first off, tried to take a cab from Puncak Seri Kelana where my aunt stays. I couldn't follow them cos was busy sleeping. Heh. First few tries weren't successful.
First try: (note that the following conversation was in cantonese. Yea, my broken cantonese. well, at least the dude understood :P)
"Kelana Jaya LRT station?"
"Erm, I'm not too sure where that is.."
"Where are you stationed?"
"KL area. I got here cos the customer before you gave direction."
"wooo..kay.. wait, i call my aunty to give u direction"
Speaking to aunty in hokkien, and trying to pass the phone over to the driver
"I dono how!" *shakes head and hands
"Mandarin?"
"I dono how!" *shakes head and hands
"English?"
"I dono how!" *shakes head and hands and apologised.
"ok, nvm." =.= Got off the cab. but i somehow thinks he deliberately didnt want to send me. I mean, c'mon, u dono mandarin and english, and ur surviving as a taxi driver in KL just with canton?? u muz be kiddin'
Anyways, almost wanted to wait for the bus, and after a prayer, a taxi appeared! hmm!

So had a lil' chat wif the taxi driver, and he suggested that I go masjid india for better quality baju melayu. And so i took the LRT to masjid jamek. Went to ask around, and the prices can go up to 100++!!! wow. super totally outa my budget. But one of the shop keeper recommended this shop, Anis'. Finally after some walking and asking around, and about to give up, I finally saw Anis'! the shopkeeper was friendly. A sabahan named John, but he's a Malay.
"I nak beli baju melayu. Ada yang macam display tu? RM 29 punya."
"Ada..Siapa nak pakai?"
"Sayalah"
"Serious??"
Lol. He was pretty proud that I'm buying this for my exchange to US. He was telling his colleague,"Dia Cina! tapi nak pakai baju melayu kita pergi US!"*muka bangga* lol.. I tot of getting a baju melayu cos it's more unique compared to samfu, which could probly be bought in some china street in minneapolis. Anyways, settled for a set which costs 61. Tried to bargain with the taukenio, but 1 ringgit oso she din wana discount. She said, it's oledi discounted item. Oh well, good buy anyways.


And so it was around 12. So i tot I could catch the LRT to titiwangsa and meet Siaw ching and Qian Yi, but then I realised. I was wearing shorts! Decided to try my luck anyways. Tot the guards in UKM KL would be as nice as KKj's. Upon reaching Titiwangsa station, a taxi driver wanted to chop me by offering a ride, which was RM30! *&)@$ i called siaw ching to ask, and if not for her and qianz, I would have been a victim. Thank goodness, I saw a row of taxi outside, and so I took one of them to Jln Temerloh.

When the taxi almost went inside the hostel, the guard stopped the taxi.
"U tahun berapa?"
"Tahun 3 (tetapi bukan di sini :P)"
"Tahun 3 u masih tak tau taxi tak boleh masuk??!"
So i paid the uncle for the taxi,
*meter was showing 4.40* "4.40 ah uncle?"
"Leng zai!! shuin lei mm kao lei zhong you gam ka ah?!" (Dude, I charge u RM5 u still wana discount ah?!)
Bopien lor, pay the fella 5 bucks and chao. As I walked past the guard house, I could see the guard staring at my feet (shorts) with the corner of my eye. lalala..
After some hoohaa on the phone wif siaw ching and qianz, I decided there's no point for me to go in like an alien oso (WHY DIN I WEAR JEANS!!) so Ya Lan, ching's good fren, gave me a ride to the monorail station. Kam sia!

Instinct told me to buy tix to Imbi and to go kai kai at bukit bintang. So i did. But din buy anything. Sis called me to urge me to settle my tix stuffs. So I bought a tix to sentral (thought the address was Bandar Utama, but under close inspection, it's actually Bangsar Utama) and boarded the wrong monorail, cos I thought i was on the right platform. bugger. So took the monorail back to titiwangsa, but I saw there's KJaya connecting line at Jalan Nenas/Dang Wangi. So got off from there, walked a distance and took the KJ line to Bangsar. Settled my flight tix, walked to bangsar village. When asked a security officer at Maybank for direction,
"Ooo, sini x ada shopping mall. u ambik lrt ke sentral, then blablabla"
I knew he was talking crap d. Dude, i just came from the lrt stesen lar. So when to ask a bata dude. "Oh it's just down the road." Lol..



Cut the long story short, I'm now back in my aunty's place after a looong day of walking and travelling. I like, cos no back pain. I think I noe why. I din use my bag pack this time! So, i shud get myself a sling bag... Happy Day~ travelled alot and learnt a lot. though din meet up wif qianz, but met ching for a short while. A bit lazy to travel now. So tml, sleepzzz..
