 | KL Tower, Little India and Central Market.
 | Sri Angkasa is actually related to Sri Melayu, although it had a luncheon buffet that
included Continental and Chinese dishes, not just Malay cooking. Both Adeeba & Lubna
agreed that the food tasted slightly better than its counterpart, which was amazingly good
to start off with. |
| The KL skyline was fascinating from here, and "everything looks so tiny" was
one of Adeeba's comment. These two girls compliments of Malaysia in general, and Kuala
Lumpur in particular was matched only by their regret for having booked too short a
holiday. Comments such as "Malaysia is such a beautiful country" was
frequently interspersed with remarks like "We should have stayed for two
weeks." |
| It takes more than an hour for a complete rotation of the restaurant, but it takes a
fraction of that time for Jameel's personality to exude his charm and wit. I was really
glad that they were present, as it made Lubna and Adeeba's visit here more memorable. |
| Since Lubna and Adeeba managed to extend their check-out time at Shangs till 8pm for
free, we quickly made our way to Little India, where the ladies shopped for dresses
and chiffon cloth. By 5pm, we were in Central Market, looking around for souvenirs and
trinkets. I bought some T-shirts for Khalid & family, which I handed to Lubna for safe
delivery. |
| We got back to Shangs by 7pm, and this was where I presented Lubna and Adeeba with their
personalised beaded necklace. It was Tesy who gave me the idea to buy the beaded
necklace and she helped me create the design. Well, Tesy, they loved it! So, thanks very
much for assisting me. |
| Even the best stories have an ending, so it was at the lobby that we parted and wished
Lubna and Adeeba a safe journey home. Jameel and Azlina had invited me for dinner at their
home in PJ, so I followed them back in my car. We had satay, chicken rice, and vegetable
& squid rojak (don't we Malaysian ever stop eating?!?!?). I met Azlina's interesting
family, which included her mum, brother, niece (? - correct me if I'm wrong) Zarinah and
hubby Jason, with kids Ozzy and Coco. I also spotted two nice cats in Azlina's home, which
of course, did not escape my attention. |
| So, Lubna, and Adeeba, I truly hope you had a great time in Malaysia. I trust my sense
of direction probably added an element of adventure to my showing you around in KL. Your
stay here wouldn't have been as cheerful as you exclaim it to be, if not for the company
of my friends, the Wackos. So, thanks so much to Tesy, James, Julie, Parish, Jameel and
Azlina. |
| All I can say for the rest of you Wackos who couldn't make it to such excitement and
merriment, is - in the words of shameless Rizal - "Bleagh!" |
