I looked at my watch which reflected under the dim yellow light: 6.30am. I was setting off to KL from home by car. Had breakfast at McDonalds located just beside West Coast Park, then proceeded in the direction of the checkpoint. The traffic there wasn't too bad as we got through within minutes.
Along the North South Highway, there were coloured flowers planted along the road divider and teak trees along the kerb. Oil plantations were common there and you could just enjoy a breathtaking view of fields that only ended in the distant horizon.
The territories of Nothern Johor was hardly visible as the early fog had settled down over the canopy. Drops of water, reflected by the windows, were visible on the car dashboard as dark shadows. Soon, the slight rain turned to a downpour at an alarming rate, making the surroundings almost outta sight. As the rain cleared, a rainbow was suspended over the lands by invisible strings that attatched it to the sky.
'Brunch' was at a place called Restoran Jejantas which was basically an overhead bridge that loomed over the highway. There was an 'A&W' and 'KFC' there, not to mention souvenir stores that sold traditional Malay toys.
Soon after we entered the state of Selangor, we reached our destination, a hotel named 'One World Hotel' located in the town of Petaling Jaya. It was just beside a shopping center and that fact made it convienient for shopping and eating. Petaling Jaya is an upper middle-class estate, which meant that most of the people live in either bungalows, terraces or semi-ds.
Now I shall just skip to dinner, as nothing much happened in the afternoon. After a hard time trying to figure out where to eat, we finally decided to eat at the food court. I had the famous Penang Kuay Teow soup. Delicious!!! The soup was both sweet and sour, and when you drank it, it paints a spicy taste at the back of your throat! The kuay teow was both smooth and filling. Not to mention the price: 5.80RM for a gigantic bowl!
Afterwhich, we went shopping around the gargantuan shopping center. It had a rock climbing wall, a children's some sort of 'playground' with balls all around it. At peak hour, the whole place was packed, especially the cinemas: A long queue of more than 50 people!
Ok, that's all folks!
