chiisanahitoI had a fun day today =D Tiring, yeah, but enjoyable. I got to see lotsa stuff than usual, and I got myself something that made me wanna scream my head off in the bookshop if I hadn't remember to keep my sanity then. Also I got to ride the trains SEVEN times.
Train Ride 1
Kelana Jaya (Putra LRT) >>> Masjid Jamek (Putra LRT exchange STAR LRT)
Not many people, since Kelana Jaya is the last stop and I got to sit. Yippee~
Train Ride 2
Masjid Jamek (STAR LRT) >>> PWTC (STAR LRT)
While waiting for the train, I leant against the railing and stare around, and then this one dude stood next to me, busy on his handphone. I continued looking around, and realized he got nearer o.0;; not that I was freaked out or anything, but the distance between me and him, it's not the normal 'personal space distance'. The area around us was much more comfortable to stand on. His thoughts must've been occupied with something, he didn't realize what he's doing. Hahahaaa.
Arrived at the office like round 9.30 am I think. Can't remember. But my number was 0012, and at the time I entered it was 0009, so I didn't have to wait too long. Saw a collegemate on the way there, and another collegemate while I waited for the 'officer' to fill up my details.
Settled, then I had no idea where to go next since my parents were still working, and I have until 5.00 pm to occupy myself with something. Ended up staring at the railway map for 10-15 minutes (prolly more) to decide where to go. At last I randomly thought "MidValley, yeah, I can have lunch there, and I can sit in MPH for a long time."
Train Ride 3
PWTC (STAR LRT) >>> Bandar Tasik Selatan (STAR LRT exchange KTM Komuter)
So I crossed Masjid Jamek again. I noticed the sky was grey at that time.
Train Ride 4
Bandar Tasik Selatan (KTM Komuter) >>> MidValley (KTM Komuter)
MidValley -- the first thing I did was go to the food court and had my lunch since I didn't have breakfast earlier today X.X was too sleepy. Round 12.00 pm when I reached there, and the food court was empty XD lucky~ While eating I got to see a Buddhist monk (I think) eating at a table not far from mine, and then a blind man with two guardians (his children I guess). It got me thinking : This is a really free country I live in -- I don't get to see a monk in a shopping mall everyday. I spent like 30 minutes there. Yeah, I'm a slow eater, and I can't eat HOT food (hot = not cold).
Then I went downstairs to MPH Bookstore. The first book I got my hands on was "The Sky".
It got a LOT of awesome sky pics ever -- cool-shaped clouds, full-arc rainbows, aurora -- every page was incredible. I wish I can do a book like this, if not do my OWN album. Hee. Also I read a lot of graphic design books, one of them is "Pictoplasma 2", a (nice) book about character designs and stuff. Man I browsed a LOT of books but didn't buy any =D I spent a long time in there.
After that I went to XL-Shop, a model/figures/hobby shop. Capt Jack Sparrow's figure costs RM500++ WTF?! Everything else was also unaffordable (I'm stingy). So I just stared at everything and went out.
F.O.S -- walk in, look at clothes, walk out.
Teddy Tales -- Got a new handphone strap, white strap with stars, since my recent one is almost pulled apart o.0
It was still kinda early, and I already didn't know what to do (3.30 pm). I remembered the Japanese Kinokuniya in KLCC, and I've been wanting to go there since the last time, so I figured why not.
Train Ride 5
MidValley (KTM Komuter) >>> KL Sentral (almost all railway exchange station)
I'm not really familiar with KL Sentral, but I like the place. I just followed the people out of the barrier, then called my dad to ask him at what time exactly he'll leave office because I have to arrange the time properly. He said the latest by 6.00 pm I should be back at the first station, so I had enough time to go to KLCC and back. Whee~
Train Ride 6
KL Sentral (Putra LRT) >>> KLCC (Putra LRT)
I went to the main Kinokuniya bookstore first, because I forgot where the Japanese section is. Got to read the manga titles there, but strangely enough I have no definite attraction to buy any. OK probably one or two, but I'll reserve that if I didn't get anything at the Japanese section.
The Japanese section is in a whole different level and place than the main Kinokuniya, they have their own bookshop. I went down 2 floors, and found the place. I felt a strange happiness somehow -- I don't even read Japanese (the Kanji ones anyway), so why was I happy...?
Because while leisurely browsing the magazine section, I found a familiar face on a magazine I've never thought will ever be here in Malaysia -- MiYAVi on the cover of Arena37°C (Special edition I think) issue September 2007 XDDD
I almost went "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAiiii~!!" but I quickly got my hand on my mouth, and I grabbed that mag and checked if it's really Miyavi (uh, his name is ON the cover), then I walked as fast as I can to the other end of the shop where they have collector's type of magazined/photobooks. Oh they have a few of Gackt, one of Laruku, Glay...and some other I don't really know. But my money is limited okieees. Although I still bought another magazine --
*A Bathing Ape thing...why'd I bought it? Becaaaaaause :
-- they put in free stuff haha. Well this is the 2006 Autumn/Winter edition, the other editions also have free stuff like a towel, a bag, but I chose this cuz the stickers are nicer. All of the editions have stickers.
After paying RM94 (sum of both), I dropped by the stationeries in front to buy a Paint Marker for fun...duuude I'm wasting money faster than ever today o.0;;
It's 5.00 pm already, so I went to the train station fast.
Train Ride 7
KLCC (Putra LRT) >>> Kelana Jaya (Putra LRT)
It took around 30 minutes to reach the last station, and I was kinda excited to unwrap my NEWWW mags *bounces around laughing like mad*. My dad picked me up at 6.00 pm, then my mom, then straight back home.
Kelana Jaya (Putra LRT) >>> Masjid Jamek (Putra LRT exchange STAR LRT)

Date: 2007-09-04 09:05 pm (UTC)DAMMIT! I'm jealous about your Arena37°C-found. There are no such magazines in this crappy country. Okay okay, there are few places you might order stuff but well. Not really shops, it's more like via Internet.
By the way, I'm getting more interested in countries such as Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore. When I'll become rich (in my dreams maybe?), I'll freakin' travel and go to some places. Especially 1st and 2nd named places interest me. They sound so ecxotic. Anyway, I'm getting carried away here.

Date: 2007-09-05 05:16 am (UTC)You should visit here XD We may not be the best country there is, but still we have our own awesome stuff. And I also would like to travel to many countries. We can be travel buddies XD haha.

Date: 2007-09-05 12:18 pm (UTC)Ah, I see. But if I'll found Arena magz somewhere, I'll go nuts. Haven't seen any around here. That would be cool.
My mom's ex-boyfriend has visited Malyasia twice, I asked him briefly about it. He said it was hot and other stuff too. Yeah, I guess every country has its own nice sides. Btw, are you Chinese, Indian or Malay by your origin? Oh yeah, that sounds great! Haha.

Date: 2007-09-05 03:22 pm (UTC)Oh wow I'm so ignorant!! Wagh I'm sorry >.<
I'm Malay ^^V Actually we have a lot of other races here too, aside from Malay, Indian and Chinese, but the three are the majority here. The other races mainly live in the East Malaysia, Borneo.
Also, yep it's kinda hot here since we don't have the 4 seasons...but not extreme hot. It's like warm and nice, could be rainy. Humid, yeah =D

Date: 2007-09-05 04:08 pm (UTC)Sounds like a multicultural (is that a proper word?) country for me. Most of our inhabitants are Finns, we have rather less immigrants here. But we do have Russians etc. living here. So your temperature isn't like +30 all the time? Anyay, I'd like to see how you would react to our winter. It's like Hell freezing here in January, sometimes -30 and it's definitely killing. Well, I like having four season, even though they can be frustrating. I like autumn the best, ach. Cold breeze, rain and mist in the morning. Well, I still guess Malaysia is too hot for me in general. :-----D

Date: 2007-09-08 07:16 am (UTC)Ah...our temperature...I think it's more around 27degrees Celsius...I'm not sure myself...ahaha. Gomen.
no subject
Date: 2007-09-08 12:49 pm (UTC)27 degrees? Phew. Too much for me anyway. I'm more like into 15 degrees.
