Walking straight

Wednesday, July 30th - 3rd day of hosting.

This is another day where people have to get up early from bed to get their lazy asses to work and to school. But, as for me and my sister, it's a total different story. Do you know that there are a total of 1300 free tickets given out each day if I'm not mistaken for a visit to the KLCC sky bridge? Yes, and we are going to get 3 of the 1300 tickets today!

While fetching my younger sister to school, my mother dropped the three of us - me, my elder sister and the Japanese girl - at the Taman Bahagia LRT station. As expected, the LRT was so packed and cramped with people that I could hardly breathe and kept on perspiring. That's one of the implications of the hike in petrol prices. That also made me wonder of how those people in China survive going to work everyday in those super crowded trains of theirs.

By the time we reached KLCC, the ticketing counter was already crowded with people queuing up in an 'S' shape. Reluctantly, we went to queue up as well. There were many foreigners sitting and waiting patiently to get their tickets. The wait wasn't very long as we stood for about a half an hour or so.

Up at the sky bridge which is 170m above street level, the whole Kuala Lumpur city is in full view and the scenery is fantastic. And not to forget, I have a slight acrophobia thanks to my 'wonderful' imagination, so it's a little scary too.

At noon, the scorching sun above was burning into my skin. We quicken our pace, walking towards the KL convention centre as fast as possible, as the merciless sun gets hotter and hotter. After taking some rests, we headed towards Pavilion to have our lunch and of course, for shopping! We bought a plate of Char Kuey Tiow, Asam Laksa and Nasi Lemak from the food court there. She likes Asam Laksa best and thinks that Nasi Lemak is too spicy. Anyways, we did a little shopping after lunch and she bought herself a pink Guess handbag which costs RM440! Rich people -.-

Believe it or not, we later walked from Pavilion all the way to China town under the burning sun because of the poor transportation in KL! Torturing.. At China town, she bought herself some souvenirs and a watch which we bargained the price for her. She did not seem to be interested in those pirated stuff sold there though. Rich people -.-

After taking some pictures, we advanced to Central Market to see whether she has anything to buy from there. We then called it a day and went home by LRT. Tiring~~
