Saturday, February 04, 2006 : The KL Trip
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mike says:
I just sat in a Proton Perdana Taxi. What I'd like to know is why the hell is this taxi meter so expensive compared to the Saga ones. The normal taxi meters start their meter at 2 bucks and slowly increases by 10 cents. The Perdana ones, on the other hand, start the meter at THREE bucks and QUICKLY increases by 20 CENTS. I got a frikking heart attack just staring at the meter from Bangsar to Bandar Utama. This is my first and last EVER time taking a Perdana Taxi.


Have a safe trip back to Kiwiland, Cher. Will miss ya.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


On Thursday, me and my mates went to KL City (Low Yatt, BB, Sungei Wang, Times Square etc.). For me, this would have been my third time going there in half a year.

I remember the first time I went there was with KJ, MKland, Amir and Seng Yau in August last year to go boot shopping with Seng Yau. The orginal plan that time was to spend all our time hanging out, shopping and sipping coffee. Instead, we spent more than half the time sitting on uncomfortable chairs waiting for Sham Kamikaze to emerge and do his showcase and sign his Fender endorsement contract at Bentleys.
For your information, Sham is a reknowned guitarist from Malaysian band Kamikaze. Hence the nickname that stuck.


Sham Kamikaze, the management, the representitives of Fender Japan and the Kenji Sakai...

They're copying my style of smiling...


The second time around, I went with Chiak and Zahir to KL for my birthday. After much shopping, we got bored of the whole shebang and decided to go to Times Square.
Good ol' Zahir went there only once but knew the place well. You know how well? Like really well. So well that he could draw out a map of the whole place.
Now as most of you know, Times Square is a shopping centre-cum-amusement park. There happens to be an openly unguarded area with a huge trashbin outside. Inside that bin are disposed wrist tags they give you when you're admitted inside. This prooves my theory that the Times Square management are serious dumbasses

In the end, we snuck inside and enjoyed the rides for free.
Just so you know, I do happen to know that it's freaking risky to write about something illegal on something so publicly open to anyone to read, but that's why I'm putting this disclaimer: We were very aware that it was not the right thing to do to sneak in without paying the entrance fee. We were just merely testing to see how long it would be until we got caught, but apparently we weren't.

The culprits



Let me tell you readers that KL City is not a place you frequent every week or month, it's a place you frequent every year (unless of course, you work or live there).
I, however, am visiting that place for the 3rd time in half a year. What can I say? I love the place too much.

This time, just like the first time, I went with Amir, KJ, Seng Yau and MKland. The difference was this time around, we had no real reason to go. Actually we did. Amir wanted to buy the new Adidas Predator Absolado, Kah Joo also wanted to get new boots, I wanted to buy cologne, after testing out with Sharon and Christine, and both Seng Yau and MKland wanted to buy cellphones, so you get the idea this was a shopping trip.
BUT
And that's a big 'but'. Amir already bought his Absolado before the trip, KJ bough my blue Nike Mercurial Talaria II and MKland and Seng Yau decided that if they bought a new phone, they would have to travel a long distance to fix it should a problem arise. I on the other hand didn't bring enough money for cologne. So as I had said earlier, there was no real point in going.

Our first stop was Al-Ikhsan in BB Plaza.
It was here that I decided that I needed a new ball football. After all, my Adidas Roteiro was punctured, my Adidas Champions League Finale was uneven and I was too scared to bruise my nice and smoothe and light Adidas F50+ ball. So what I needed was a new, cheap, light, padded and bouncy and hairy ball. KJ and Amir also decided to invest their festive money in a new ball. So we all bought new balls for ourselves to replace our old ones...

Next stop, some poster shop next to Al-Ikhsan.
Huge, cheap and water proof Anime posters. Just the thought of that drove KJ and Seng Yau wild. Not only were there Anime posters, there were also footballers, games and movie posters. I really wanted to buy an Arsenal and a Cristiano Ronaldo poster but changed my mind in the end. So MKland, Seng Yau and KJ ended up walking out of the store with long thin rolls in their hands.

After that, we headed all over the place, KL Plaza, Sungei Wang and Lot 10, before going to Times Square.
We almost got lost in here if not for my great memory that managed to steer us to the theme park.
Until now, the stupid place was still unguarded. The only difference was that huge dustbin in front of it was taken away.
Wow good job, management. That sure helps ALOT.
This time we decided not to sneak in because the other four guys were scaredy cats we knew it was the right thing to do. So instead we explored the place a bit more. I have to say, I'm really intrigued by the number of Hip-Hop and Japanese Fashion shops.
Hip-Hop Style+Japanese Style=FRIKKING LALA BEYOND IMMAGINATION!!!
My eyes were hurting from all those bright colours and the sight of some clothes that don't even belong in some areas!
It was like watching Superman... DRESSED IN PINK, GREEN AND ORANGE!!!
Sorry I digress...

Anyway, after all that walking, we ended up taking a chill pill at Delifrance where Amir grabbed my camera phone and spammed my Gallery by taking tons of pictures.

Mei Khong, better known as MKland. I still don't know why we call him MKland though. Mekong River, King Khong and Long Khong sound like much better nicknames.

KJ enjoying his tuna crossaint

Seng Yau being Seng Yau- scary as ever

Amir and his short-long hair.

This frappe I'm seen sipping in this pic tasted like shit...Starbucks' Green Tea Frappe is the best. Innit right, Christine?


So after we walked around a bit, we decided to head home.
Here's a picture of us posing proudly with our new balls.




Just kidding (that's Kiwi and his Magic Torch Light by the way...)



Aren't our balls just the nicest, cleanest, roundest balls you've ever seen? ;)

Yeah, the shops were in Times Square. There's one right next to the amusement park entrance and then there's one on the floor below, i think. The second one I'm not sure, but there IS one next to the theme park entrance.
