It was an amazing experience. I had a whole load of time by myself, walking around the streets and shopping for my necessities. Basically I walked around Bukit Bintang Plaza, Lot 10, Sungei Wang and KLCC.
On the coach to KL!
On the first night, I headed to Chinatown with Rachel. We tried to walk there after our dinner at Jalan Alor but didn't manage to 'find our way' at first -ok lemme explain.. 'find our way' came in ' ' because we were headed towards a direction that is correct but not a safe way.. we changed our route in the end- And in the end, we decided that taking a cab would be the best choice. I guess it's just both of us being tired and lazy. =) When we reached Chinatown and started our shopping. The stall owners were swarming us, especially my sizzling hot lover, and telling us how cheap their stuff are. We know they're cheap, but they're never going to be cheap enough for us.. I was a bit worried for Rachel because her eyes were all focused on the goods there and she wasn't looking at who's in front and all. If i wasn't there, she'll probably bang into the poles or something. =) I'm just kidding my goddess. Anw hope she can be more careful in future.
KL Twin towers.. damn nice Chilling outside KLCC
If any of you guys wanna get cheap shades, don't get from Chinatown(KL). I would suggest you guys get from KL Sentral. I got my shades from Chinatown at 35RM and i saw the shades selling at 10RM at KL Sentral. The best part is, the shades at KL Sentral looked so much nicer and of course, cheaper.
A&W floats makes us high.
During this trip, I've learnt quite a lot. Let me share them with you.
Firstly, when you want to bargain, you've got to be ruthless. If you're soft-hearted (like ME) you're bound to get 'chopped'. So for example, if you're willing to pay 20RM for the goods and the peddler tells you the goods cost 50RM, you've got to tell him your 'best price' would be 5RM. He would most probably take his price and add to your 'best price' and divide it by 2. I'm not totally sure how all the peddlers do it but you can try to follow the guideline I mentioned. The summary of this paragraph, you've got to be ruthless and know how to quote your 'best price'. This lesson is kindly taught by Rachel. I love you my Queen =)
Secondly, I've learnt that it's very important to clarify matters as soon as I make an ambiguous statement ( the other lesson i could probably learn is to not make any ambiguous statements ). Rachel was very affected by the thing my parents said. I only shared with Rachel the things my parents said but I didn't let her know how they actually feel about it. She broke down because she felt that my parents and hers thinks she's a bad influence to me and her sister. I reassured her about her importance in her sister's success and that she's not a bad influence at all. I realised later that I could've avoided all these by making things clearer in the beginning.
Thirdly, to all the guys out there, please do not add oil to fire when your girfriend is already very troubled. If you want to say something, please for goodness sake, no matter how tired you are, let it go through your brains before you say something. What happened was Rachel and I forgot to take the file from the concierge at Corus. Both of us were responsible for this but I know that Rachel took it hard on herself because she feels that she wasn't responsible enough to make sure her things were there. ( Truth is, I have to take responsibility too because I collected the bags and didn't notice anything amiss ) I'm sorry about it babe. So we're on the bus and she's trying her best to get her file back when all of a sudden, smart-ass Martin made an impact statement
' If I were you, I'd F#$% care the file '
How powerful is that guys? Haha. Obviously I wasn't using my head when I said that. What I lost in the past used to be things I didn't put in effort to obtain them. That's why I'm ok with losing it. Whereas for the file, Rachel put in 3 days of her life to write notes in it. I should've been more sensitive girl. =) I've learnt.
Well, enough of lessons, the next paragraph is dedicated to Rachel, my love.
Babe, what I said to you on the bus, I mean every single word of it. I won't make you wait too long.
I Love you.
