Randomness 2007 - Romeo and KLians

I am having a heavenly time spending in KL now. Been back here for almost 2 days, which makes this my 2nd night sleeping at my home sweet home on the soft bed with my darling and Romeo. My Romeo just so damn cute, seeing him standing up on his own and climbing the sofa, crawling here and there and grumbling 1 kind of language that even me, whom can speak several languages have no idea what is he talking about. Baby language it seems.

I am also enjoying some of our local delicacies, some local cuisine found here, made best and famous in KL and Malaysia, such as our kopi ice, teh ice, chinese mix economy rice, pan mee, prawn mee, char keoy teow, nasi with beef rendang and etc. Feel good back here but i can't enjoy all the food though, coz of fats and cholestrol issue. I have to control some of the temptations as well. Anyhow, its still better than nothing at all.

Been doing some shopping as well at Mid Valley and 1 Utama today. Shopping for a lot of stuff especially for Romeo, jeans for me and my darling, done some haircut for myself and my darling as well, shop for a portable stroller when we board the plane and for easy carry. Apparently what i've found out is that, the traffic and the amount of cars here in Malaysia entering our highway aka "carpark on the road" and the amount of cars entering carparks in shopping malls is astounding and fascinating. Too much to be exact. To find a decent parking spot in a mall during a weekend in tiring. Its either you go at 11am or just drop by jockey or car wash available in the mall. Its really funny. Considering i've been to few major cities, such as Shanghai, Singapore and few more. Its much easier to find a parking spot there. Maybe its due to the fact that transportation in those cities is much more convenient and the mentality of the citizens there. Cabs, bus, underground MRT, bicycles for Shanghai is just a common thing that we will be seeing there. Unlike Malaysians, whom i believe to be more well of when it comes to car, almost all families have at least 2 cars park at their porch. Rich Malaysians or debt mouse Malaysians it seems.

One more thing, at least now i am able to visit some of the blogs that Chinese government have banned or block in the mainland. I am able to view the pages easely without much of a hassle. Haha! Anyhow, its a holiday weekend in Malaysia and as usual the last weekend for Malaysia Mega Sales, hence explain the amount of people in shopping complexes in the city of KL. Expenditure of commoners and citizens is figure blowing. We spends millions of ringgits each day during the weekend. Good for economies, both local and internationally, good for businesses, making their sales and profit to soar sky high. Food, entertainment and retail businesses are the front runners that benefits most from our mentality of KLians aka shoppers. Haha!

Tomorrow will be another hectic day in anywhere in town, both KL and PJ, where birds will flock together in a crowded place to enjoy themselves. Splendid! Another day at home for me. No rushing for carpark, no rushing to find an empty table to eat, less stress for me. I wish you to enjoy your weekend whether you are in a mall or at home. Cheers!
