Bangkok Dangerous?? or KL Dangerous??

October 29, 2008 - 1:13 am 2 Comments

For the first time, i took Star LRT and interchange at Hang Tuah to monorail to Pavillion, KL. This is because my Jack is working in the city centre. It was kinda late as I was stuck in a meeting till almost 7.45pm and reach the LRT bout 8pm already and my movie is at 8.25pm, I’ll definitely be late.

I feel like a foreigner taking the LRT, this is because after working and driving to work everyday, I’d barely taken public transport in Malaysia. Whereas, I took more of it when I’m overseas (don’t have a choice i guess). I asked the ticket counter which station should i stop just to confirm before getting in the station and when I went in, i was kinda lost haha, looking at the signs and wonder how come its the same and the beeping sound of a train coming and there was a LRT staff i manage to enquire which side should i be, cos it both state the same place. Haha, actually there’s only ONE, cos it’s the last station :P (Paiseh-nya) Didn’t make it for the first train, it went off :(

Then keeping myself alert of my surroundings tho’ i’m in a rush. Finally a train came, went in, was thinking to myself as there’s not many people (maybe I was late) Cos i heard after the fuel price increase, alot of ppl were taking the public transport. I counted there’s actually 9 stops before i reach my destination. At the 3rd/5th stop came a dodgy looking man, looking a me and another gal he sat beside and i was opposite of him, he keep looking at my direction and keep mumbling to himself. I just feel so uneasy and I try as much to avoid his eyes and I look to another direction. (I bet this is even scarier if it is like 10pm at night and there’s like less than 5 in a train)

Well, everything went well after that, met Jack and 2 of his colleagues at Pavillion, grab a quick bite and head into the cinema and looking forward for something interesting and thrilling and heck it was a cheap skate production of Nicolas Cage in Bangkok. Haha, I remember once Jack said, cos he will never step into Thailand, specially Bangkok, and I ask why? He explains “Just by the sound of it freaks him out “bang cock, bang cock” and i laughed. And back to the movie, well I nearly fell asleep, seriously! Was tired, and it was Not interesting at ALL!

As we walked back to his office to collect his laptop, there’s still so many people around, hanging out at the Boulevard of Pavillion, its so happening to work in KL, where you really experience all the late nite outs, fun, energy, the people, excitement and off course not to forget the challenges, stress and jams :) All I could say, is different! Was fun walking back and one of his colleague skip dinner and headed to KLCC for coffee and enjoy the nice weather. Hehe for him is nice cos over in Netherlands is always cold *grin* not for me, unless its a after rain weather, then the breeze would be nice to hang-out. Moreover it’s a Wednesday nite. My first visit to Jack’s office, it’s nice! Feels so IKEA-ish! Which is what I like..hehe, with all the goodies, coffee machine, hersey’s, fruits, fruit juices and many more.
