Short Story

After abandoning my pity blog for more than a month (wow!), finally, and fortunately, I’ve decided to re-oxygenate it’s blood before it dies quietly.

I’m using English now because typing Chinese words is an extremely tedious task, for me la. Initially I decided to use mandarin in all my post because I wanted to limit the readers of my blog to certain group of people, hehehe, as some of the contents of the blogs are not meant for EVERY1. No offence, lol. HOWEVER, i succumb to my native laziness.

OK, back to business. Yesterday went to KL for a half day trip with Ning Jui & Jun Suet. Ning Jui’s mom took us to Jalan Petaling in the morning and dropped us at a “branded” (used to be) restaurant where we had our not-so-tasty dim sum where 90% of the people in the restaurants consisted of senior citizens.

After filling our stomach with meats & cholesterol, we walked around at Jalan Petaling. It was 9am something and most of the shops were still closed. I found that, surprisingly, there are many “hotels”, precisely motels which i think provide not just accommodation… OK enough of this.

To my great disappointment, one of the sport shoes that I was wearing had its bottom section (the rubber which cushions the foot) torn which made walking so “voluntary”, with conscious control over each and every pace. I was desperately looking for a shop selling shoes but most of the shops were still sleeping! The only hope I had was Times Square but it was thousand miles ahead.

Nevertheless, we managed to reach Times Square after walking for such long journey under the hot and mean sun. The first stop we visited was the washroom, of course, separately.

The next thing to do was to get myself a new pair of shoes. Lets trim the details down and go straight to>>> Ya, I bought a pair of Neckermann shoes and I’m jealous, till now, that Ning Jui bought a pair of BUM Equipment shoes at only RM19.90!! It’s genuine… but my feet are unexpectedly larger than the maximum size of the shoes available… Never mind, I still like mine.

And then… (further trimming and making life easy)… We walked for about 7 hours inside Times Square, appreciating everything beautiful but expensive along the way. I spent the least yesterday, while the other two got themselves the so-called “worth it” merchandises.

At 5pm something, we walked from Times Square to Tong Shin Hospital where Ning Jui’s mom works. The journey was even more torturing than that in the morning, with more vehicles at greater speed, more noise, hotter sun and more sweat. Finally, thousand thanks to Ning Jui’s mom, we returned to Puchong and home sweet home.

A fun and memorable experience ended, and with high hopes, there shall be more in the future.
