Listening to: Super Junior- 말하지면 (You're my endless love)

MM.. Been almost 2 weeks since I came back from Malaysia. I'm fussing and fidgeting due to the sudden return to having almost nothing to do all day. Although, truth be told, the trip was pretty exhausting with many rush-around, transporting baggage, waiting/chasing after bus and trains, lots of i-don't-know-where-the-heck-I'm-going moments too. Hmm, memory pretty fuzzy actually.

Anyway, pictures to be posted later. I've transported the pictures to HD in order to make room for the many videos of Shinhwa I'm downloading haha.

Read this Chinese novel of... Japanese ghost stories. Some of them are pretty bizarre, outright disgusting if you want to imagine the scenes even. But there's one that particularly stayed in my mind.

It's about a noble in olden days. How, every night after fooling around with his lover, would take the same trishaw back home to his very-rich wife. The story goes on to show his growing disgust towards his wife. But the wife says nothing about how he's changed to a domestically-violent husband.

This noble sometimes get the feeling that the trishaw puller doesn't like him, maybe even mean to harm him, but he has no choice but to take that ride home every time he comes out of the lover's house, else he'd have to walk home- for that was the only trishaw standing by that area.

One night, he was forced to walk home after seeing no sign of the trishaw. But, he sees the puller puling away from his house to another direction. He goes home to find his wife gone, and starts to look for her (he thinks of the wife as his possession, his toy, even if he doesn't like her, she's still his, and what would his father-in-law say?) and started to think the wife ran away with the puller (as she is always seen looking out the front window whenever the noble arrives home)

Just then, the father-in-law's servant came looking for him.


Apparently, the wife committed suicide that night. And her body was taken by the trishaw puller to the father's house. Long ago, before her marriage, a trishaw puller deeply admired the wife. The day of her marriage, he committed suicide. All along, the puller knew of the noble's wrongdoings, and all he did every night was to deliver him back to the wife, so she wouldn't be sad. Now that she's gone, he takes her from the wretched place and puts her back where she would be properly treated.


Interesting. Very moved by the puller's affection, that can last even afterlife. Relationships nowadays are really infected by so many other things that this kind of pureness is rare.

Day 2 of my daised days in WM

This morning started real early.
7 something, I had to follow my cousin to her workplace in MidValley.
It's weird seeing such a big place being so dark, maybe coz I'm not used to the big size of everything here (except for the food portions!)

After breakfast at McDonald's, we went out separate ways, her to her office, and me, to star my adventure of railroads and tarmac roads.

After some bouts of riding and transferring from commuter trains to monorails, I landed myself in TimeSquare, at a time way too early for anyone to visit "-_-

So I had the whole place to myself, somewhat.
I went floor by floor to the 5th floor before my brother and my other cousin Fei showed up. The whole afternoon was spent shopping and buying and more shopping. After which we went to Sungai Wang too, but then by that time we were to exhausted to spend much time shopping. Phew, the last mins spent at Sungai Wang was wet and splashy :(

Lotsa food today, I don't really rmb everything, the brain (and legs) now needs to rest!

Time Square very tall..

Some random shot of a school.

See? I love cityscape views.

MidValley in the early morning, Very eerie to see huge dark shopping mall.

Eating at Johnny's!

Daised in KL

So,long time no update, and here I am typing on the floor of my cousin's place in KL.

So far so good. My flight from Bn to KL was delayed for 45 mins, hence I arrived here quite late. After 2 hrs plus of plane ride, I rode SkyBus to KL Central, around 1+ hrs? Anyway, all the walking and sitting made me feel as if I took a 6-hr plane ride :S

After much hassle, I arrived at my cousin's place around 10pm. Beat tired and thirsty. Yes I forgot to buy water from the time I disembarked the plane until the taxi ride to cousin's place.

Anyway, the first thing I bought was food (MCD!) And some postcards. Funny enough, those cards are damn big, and the label for them says 'Regular postcards' I should take a picture of them, but they're in my luggage and I'm lazy.

This morning I woke up to see my cousin already off to work, and a set of house keys. Ok, eat sendiri. After replying some text and another nap later, I walked out the taman to find food. The targeted place is South City Plaza. I saw that building on the way home last night, and I think there's KFC there.... Anyway, the walk was around 15 mins tops.

Weather was really hot though, maybe coz it's exactly 12 noon? The building has only some shops left, and after some thinking I ate at this restaurant specialising in Taiwanese dishes (pic above) I ordered the set of the day, which is the Lion Head Rice, or sth. Quite cheap to include drinks and all. The taste is hmm, a bit less pepper can make it better, but for some reason (maybe nostalgia for TW and also the hunger pangs) the rice tasted real Taiwanese like to me. Many memories yo! My 1st lunch in KL for 2010, and I dedicate this to Kar Kuan, who for some reason is not in kl.(?)

Anyway, the building is not huge, and I took time to shop for my mineral water and food for the next 2 days. Also went into book stores, and there's also a book expo, nothing that I like there though. Bought some more postcards (art cards) at RM 1 each. Loves the art. The walk back home was just as uneventful, but I did see some black crows perched around the place, nice.

Ah, Went into an arcade to play too. Guess what, I think the arcade is the same company as the one in the Mall. The name's YES. I distinctly remember UNI arcade in the Mall being operated by YES too. Must confirm later.

One afternoon passed like that and now its 5pm edi. Life's good =)


p.s. Globalization made me less homesick ;) Giant here looks the same as Giant at home!
