petaling street.

so i just got back from chee cheong kai or better known as petaling street (ps)
teehee.

for some weird reason, i really love kl.i love feeling like a tourist. i could have been one. except i was dumb enough not to bring the camera out today. it was a good time to take pictures cause there weren't that many people around ps today.
from the kwai lo's traipsing down the streets in their flip flops with 5 year olds in tow to the saudi arabians and their burkhas's even though its a friggin 30 degrees out there.
i really love the old colonial buildings. which sadly enough, most of them have been torn down to make way for cold steel towers.

so what i found really amusing or really hypocritical during my trip to ps today is the fact that there are big yellow signboards announcing:-
DILARANG MENJUAL BARANGAN CETAK ROMPAK in Petaling Street.
go figure :/

drats*. if only i had brought my camera out with me. i would have taken a picture of it.

and maybe my eyes were playing tricks on me, or blame it on the fact that i wasn't wearing my glasses, but i think, *i think* i saw a dbkl officer (he was in his uniform, and it looked strangely familiar, like that of a municipal council's officer's uniform) looking at some fake watches at a stall in ps. haha. but, i may be wrong.

and i guess its safe to say, from the observations that my parents and i have made, kwai lo's only know how to order/eat:-
1) fried rice
2) sweet and sour pork

so i only came back from ps with something for someone.biscuits (was it lo po peng? i forgot) and mandarin oranges from australia : / was so tempted to buy this pair of pink vans shoes which i saw.do you know how hard it is to get vans around here in pj??!! so far, the only shop known to me which sells vans is studio 78 in one utama.and they don't carry much. :/ but i *fink* its fake and what in the world am i going to wear with pink sneakers?!! but it was really cheap larh. only RM 30. and i so wanted to get a mr. bean bear!! but then again, what's an 18 year old going to do with a soft toy?

TSK.

bye bye mr bean bear. maybe i'll get you the next time i go down to petaling street .
till then.
