A Week in the Sauna (Malaysia)

Whew, it sure is freaking hot here in Malaysia. The weather is a whole lot more unbearable now that the rains have stopped and the dry season is in. Everyday has been hot, hot, hot....

Haven't been doing much lately now that the monotony of the holidays have settled in. I've settled into the daily routine of deciding whether to go out or to just stay at home. Preferably, I'd go out and meet up with friends and take a nice long stroll to places I don't often go.

Going downtown

Lets see on Tuesday, I went down to KL to get some stuff sorted out for my trip to the US at my dad's office. Signed the bill and popped over to KLCC. Browsed some books at Kinokuniya before later meeting up with Kat in the afternoon.

Whee...another shot of the Twin Towers..

KinoKuniya

Check it out!!Malaysia's very own Hover Boots!! Our govt. has been having secret talks with scientists in an undisclosed foreign country to design a pair of boots that allow people to walk on water!!

Spotted this mad fella lying ont the grass. Man, who's crazy enough to lie on our dirty muddy grass. Its not like in Western countries where the grass is so much "cleaner" that people can actually have picnics there.

The KLCC water fountain

Had lunch at Pizzi's a small little pizza shop in Selangor Dredging (same building as the British Council). Ordered way too much food and had to 'tapau' some stuff back. Headed over to times Sqaure so that we could take the new overhead bridge over to Low Yat Plaza. Helped her decide on pendrive that would suit her needs. Settled for an imation 512MB.

Times Square, KL

Later in the evening, headed over to Sungei Wang to look at stuff. Bought some Kerroro Gunso stuff and tried the capsule machine over at Sun Comics. Kinda pricey. But its better than getting the whole set of figurines....if you don't want the whole set of figurines that is. Got a lil' Shinji (Neon Genesis Evangelion) figure.

The view infront of Lot 10

All is dark. Unlike the bustling city lights in Tokyo, KL is rather tame when it comes to neon light billboards.

Took a stroll down Bintang Walk to pass the evening away. Checking out all the nice (overpriced) restaurants at Star Hill and soaking up some free Jazz music from the band that was playing at Shooks. Would be nice to try one of these really snazzy looking restaurants.....provided I've got the cash to foot out the crazy bill.

Some big fancy tree like thingies at the entrance to Star Hill

Star Hill Gallery, the most up market complex in KL.

Some big fancy lifts.

Little lamps ligting up the way to the restaurant area.

A brightly decorated bar in Star Hill. No doubt, the many patrions are believers in social drinking.

The jazz band doing their thing


Even the toilets in Star Hill have to be freaking expensive looking. I believe I've mentioned this one before, but I managed to take a pic this time around. As you can see the Pak Cik is washing his hand over a basin. Water is released when you pull the mechanism several times in a pump like motion.

Kat's got a sharp eye for good food.

Say hello to Mr. Crab!!

Mr. Crab thinking to himself

Mr. Crab had good reason to be suspicious. Unfortunately he did not have much time to think about the meaning of life before he met his fate by the hook. R.I.P. Mr. Crab....

Fancy restaurants....

Some expensive watches. One of them costs RM19,730....half the amount for a car....
