Christmas and Countdown! Part 1. 68 Pics!!

Aight, here we go. Christmas in Sg. Wang.

Took a train to KL Sentral at about 4, arrived at 5. I thought that it would be fun exploring kl while making my way to Imbi, I always had the thought of traveling around kl on foot for quite a while, since that I was there, and still had time, why not? Got a map off 7-11 and started my way. But the whether wasn't being kind.

Being smart, I thought of following the monorail line, making it all the way in Imbi, I'd never get lost, I told myself. So I followed the Tun Sambathan line, trying to get to the Maharajelela Station. I rested a while, got myself a teh tark and really looked in the map, so that I wouldn't get lost. Then it rained. -__-

Waited out for the rain till 6pm, took a couple pictures of the temple, and suspicious looking shops =P. I continued to trace along the monorail, no way I'd get lost right? Wrong. I walk and walk, until I reach KL Sentral again.

...

Sad right, I know. Cause I traced the wrong rail. Rofl. The monorail heading to Maharajalela went through some small roads. Not taking the risk, common sense told me to stay off small roads whenever possible, it is then I saw the "monorail" near the highways, which I followed back to Sentral.

Bad start.

So I traced back where I thought I saw the 2 rails connecting, and decided that I'd go without the rails trusting my map and directions on the road, looking out for Jalan Maharajalela which leads to Jalan Hang Tuah which leads to Jalam Imbi. Settle.

Started walking again, when I saw this aunty walking alone under a bride, it was only me and her. She looked back, saw me, and sidestep. LOL. I chuckled a little, which she then grab onto her handbag even more. ROFL. Not wanting to scare the old lady, I slowly walked pass her, not making any sudden movements that would end up making me a victim instead. Haha.. I was told by my friend that I've got quite a fierce face, but at the same time, people say that I look like a kid. Maybe the eyebrow piercing gave off the wrong message. Haha..

I made my way slowly, taking my time, even though I was losing daylight. Finally, a landmark. The Old Railway Station. I was relieved that I saw something familiar, having traveling on foot meaning that you can rest and take pictures whenever you wanted. So I went exploring in the station. There were painters with their work of art, I'm no critic, but the paintings looked pleasing to me. There was also a small museum about the history of the railway station, which was when I saw this.

After satisfying my urge to take pictures I went on my way, which was when I discovered that they actually converted part of the station into a hotel. Not a bad idea. There was even a filming crew nearby.

After taking more pictures outside the station, it was already 7pm. Not taking any chances trying to make my way around KL at night, I asked one of the DBKL officers how to get to imbi, he kindly showed me that way and then ask,

"you jalan kaki ke?"
"ye"
"Singaporean?"
"Haha.. tak, local, saje nak jalan."

Rofl, it's probably the camera on my shoulder that gave him the impression that I was a tourist. At this point, the map was practically useless, cause I didn't know where the fuck I was anyway. I slowly made my way until I reach Dataran Merdeka. Took pictures and went on my way. Took more pictures after I left Dataran Merdeka. Passed by the Bar Council.

After walking more about an hour, I was this close to the KL tower.

Then I walked futher, passing by Petaling Street and Pudu. After walking ANOTHER hour, I reached times square at 8pm. Haha.. Most of you reading this by now would swear that I'm crazy. Keep reading, I'm only halfway through.. you'll find out that I stayed in KL for the entire night.. not in any rooms. ROFL.

IMG_6349

So I had my dinner, and rested my legs after walking for a couple of hours. Took more pictures in times square. I met Adam, my coursemate, who was with the choir gang that were in times square too. Not wanting to tag along them, cause they'll be screaming at me if they found out that I walked for that long, and it'll disturb my photo taking session. I went on on my own.

I made it to Sg. Wang at 9pm. Which means I rested for a whooping total of 45 minutes at max. Hahaha.. There were people selling snow sprays, I thought that I didn't need any, cause I brought one bottle with me that I bought from Kar Hseng. Hehe.. I was wrong.

IMG_6376

IMG_6375

After a little scouting where would the action would be, I settled at the corner of Sg. Wang and BB Plaza, already there were people waiting at the stairs waiting for something to happen. There was even a tv crew. Then someone sprayed snow spray at the crew, this marks the beginning. 2 kids then started their own skirmish, and the police looked on silently.

It was only 9.30, so I left the place and went off elsewhere to take some pictures.

When I came back.. let the pictures do the talking.

People were already rallying, forming alliances and looking out for potential victims. Here we see one group and another group forming. There was a silence, I knew that it was the silence before the storm.. then it came. Which then the police broke them up. Haha..

IMG_6429

After the police left, all hell broke loose. I was with a group of foreigners which I later found out that they were was studying in MMU, Cyberjaya. Standing out of the crowd with a camera makes you susceptible to snow sprays, I had to have an ally. So I kept my camera, taking pictures occasionally, took my spray out and join the fun! But I ran out after a couple of minutes, so I bought myself another FOUR bottles. WAHAHA..

Alots of different things happened here. I'll just let the pictures do the talking.

We counted down and people snow sprayed up into the sky, which made it looked like it was snowing, don't have a picture here, cause I was taking a video of it.

IMG_6499

IMG_6500

Aight? That was 12am. I was still there until 1.45am taking pictures of the people that were still around.

Then I walked around the Bukit Bintang area, where there were people asking me,

"zhao xiao jie ma? (looking for lady?)"

Haha.. And there was this bugger who said,

"Don't be like this.. Lemme show you the ladies, see first la.. come come.."
Of course I kindly said no and went on my way, then he said,
"Have a Happy Christmas ma.."

ROFL.. Yeah, I'll be screwing a Chinese national that I've never seen before in my life when the true meaning of Christmas is to celebrate the birth of Christ. Merry Christmas to you too, uncle. But I didn't say that to him, cause I was traveling alone. Haha.. Didn't want to invite any unnecessary trouble.

After satisfying my *ahem*.. picture taking addiction. Oh oh oh.. almost forgot to add something,
on my way back to Sg. Wang from the Bukit Bintang area, there was a group of 3 girls walking pass the street. There was this one chick that was quite tall and hot, wearing a black dress that exposed half of her boobies. I didn't take out my camera, cause it was too dark, and using a flash would attract attention. After washing my eyes, I kept my eyes back on the sidewalk, which was when I wondered, wouldn't her dress slip off? So I turned to the streets and saw her again,

"That's her.. hmm... wait, what's that? Titties? OMFG!"

ROFL.. her dress did slip down a little, which she manage to say, "Ohhh.." and pulled it back up. The drivers on the jam street got the best view. Lucky bastards.

I went on my way again, got myself some supper, it was already 2.30am. Then I went off to times square again to rest. After a hour or so, the cleaners told me that I couldn't stay there or something, so I left and rested elsewhere in times square. After a while the security guards came and told us (me and people resting there) that we couldn't stay there too. So we made our way to the Imbi station.

I made my resting place on the stairs on the station, no sleeping, cause I had to be awake so that no one tries to do anything funny. But something funny did happen but not to me, at about 5am, I took a picture of it. I didn't realize what I took until before I took the first train back at 6am. Haha.. I'll let this last picture end my adventure in KL for Christmas Countdown. Genting's New Year Countdown is next! God.. It's good to be a guy. I love adventures.
