Summer phase 3 :)

What have I been up to these past few days? Yesterday, I was in KL (city centre) in the morning and at night...and I must say, KL (both in the morning AND night) is not my favourite place to be! I think I've just experienced how freeeaaakkky KL could be.

Yes, so I was at Pudu, see? And having missed a U-turn on Jln Tun Perak, I had to go on straight....and straight...and straight...until I got a little bit worried that I didn't know where I was. So I decided to turn left into Tung Shin Hospital. And in efforts to find a way back out onto the main road...I went through the backroads of the hospital! Now, the hospital is (as far as I know) one of the oldest, if not the oldest hospital in KL. And as I've heard, it has a notorious reputation for spirits. Um, obviously I just freaked out lar. As I went in and out of the backlanes...thoughts just spiralled in my mind. After hearing so many terrifying and grosteque happenings in KL, anything could happen anywhere anytime. Especially when alone in an unknown area. I could so imagine the headlines the next day: Girl Found Dead, Chopped Body Parts Found in Klang River, to the horror of my parents :(

Then I got smarter: I started to look at landmarks. Thank goodness there are many skyscrapers to guide me! I looked up to the KL Tower and Maybank to get my bearings. Since Maybank was nearer, I started driving towards the building...by going through this dodgy hill where there were lots of motorcyclists. Atfirst I got worried, but then I saw the KL Hop on Hop off bus right infront of me and I thought...well if the tourist bus brings tourists through that road, it should be safe enough, and furthermore the bus would be stopped at Malaysia's landmarks. So I tailled the bus until I got out to the main road to happiness!

So, for those amateur drivers in KL city centre, RULE NUMBER ONE is to be alert - surroundings, direction, traffic. NEVER look lost or dumbfounded even though you genuinely are - act cool :) And look at skyscrapers if you get lost...KL Tower and the Twin Towers should be relatively easy to find. Also, if you get lost, I think its no harm to follow the tourist bus :)

And with my little adventure gone, I am here to bid farewell to the blog and you anonymous readers for the time being!:)

Yup, I am going to Beijing tomorrow for 5 weeks to start Summer Phase 3, and I am saying ta-ta for the moment as China has blocked blogspot :( Hence, expect a period of hiatus!

Summer Phase 2 came and gone; and I smack myself for not being industrious enough to keep a diary of daily happenings. And since I won't be able blog about Beijing here, I guess I'm going to either find something else ie twitter (I still don't see the point of that?!), myspace, wordpress...or maybe just keep a real diary. Which I used to when I was younger but then it felt awkward talking to myself. But that's quite odd again cause when I was much younger I did like to talk to myself. Anyway, since I'm not going to be able to access my blog, it's only fair if you can't as well :) Also gives me some time to work on the blogskin...which can improve.

Take care people, have a great summer, and hopefully my journey abroad will be a new fruitful experience for me :)
