Two days ago, Mingmon and I decided to venture into the realms of KL city. Still, not my cup of tea. But dearie dear said I should have the full-on experience of living the KL city life! I can tell you, the last time I stepped foot in Lot 10, Starhill or Bt. Bintang is about…5-10 years ago. Of course lah, there’s the occasional visit to Low Yat to get computer stuff. But most of the time, we (family and I) get to low yat, find whatever we need to buy, then off! We would be back home in good old klang by 4pm cuz mum usually needs to cook on a weekend.
So yea, I’ve never really experienced the glitz and glamour of KL city at night. Clubbing in Jln Sultan Ismail? NEVER. Starbucks on Bt. Bintang till the wee hours? NEVER. Planet Hollywood? Passed by once (on the way to low yat mar!). Shopping in Sg Wang Plaza? To get my bro’s mobile phone early this year but that was that. Only to the phone shop, bought, done and balik terus (one of those low yat trips). I guess my family is not big on crowded shopping places. Plus, dad not very happy going back to KL. He’s been working in KL for the past 28 years driving to and from Port Klang everyday.
So yeah, went to KL, hit the traffic jam and I felt oh-so-headach-y already. Plus the blister that is getting worse every second from my new pretty shoes. Couldn’t stay till dinner as my feet wasn’t allowing me to (darn you pretty shoes!). Shopping wasn’t as fantastic that day. Sigh.
The honking, the constant "ah moi ah moi" calls from Malay boys and the off and on drizzle wasn’t helping either. Though Ming was trying very hard to make my day a pleasant one by showing me the greatness of KL city, which I totally appreciate. Still, I’m not impressed by our very own Kuala Lumpur. Call me a stay-at-home-slacker. But I’m still open to people trying to change my perception towards KL city.
Well, after all, I still think Jusco Bt Raja is still the best place to shop. Sufficient enough for me. Ha-ha.
