The main reason I had wanted to be in KL the previous weekend was to witness the hot air balloon festival. But it turned out to be a side dish as more interesting things happened.

Started off with Friday dinner of a very sinful Japanese buffet.

Went with a colleague and Cyrena. I was never good in eating but I guess both of them fully unleashed their belts and stomach sphincter. Ate like nobody’s business! I think they served good food. And the best is it is unlimited, and you just order whatever you feel like having on the menu.

But of course, for every 100gm which you left over, you have to pay RM5.

The next day went out with bro to Petaling Street for breakfast and jalan jalan.

This time he introduced me to some good food instead. Haha. It is good to see how he grows up, and I guess it is the same way for him to see how I grow up as well.

And later on meet up with Phooiyan for chit chats the whole afternoon. Err.. for the first time.

And at night went to Putrajaya for this.

See the darth wader.

And lots of firework!

And the next day went out with Cyrena to get her precious.

Took some time before choosing one. It really stands out from the others. Constantly moving around and ’standing’ up, climbing up the side of the cage, very abnormal for a rabbit.

But I guess abnormality is what we like?

And went to the mother of all flee market, just adjacent to Petaling Street.

The entrance.

You will be surprised of what they sell. From used underwear to stolen handphones. From milk powder to porn. From used newspaper to broken light bulbs. You name it, and it is there. It is as if people are selling whatever things that they can lie their hands on.

But if your eyes are sharp enuf, you might find something worth the bargain. Cyrena spotted one Amcorp mall flee market seller wondering around there. I guess it is an easy business to buy and sell. LOL.

We spotted 2 original phones, blackberry curve and nokia E71, both stolen/grabbed/whatever, selling at RM700. It was a bit chipped, but I think our conscious is doing some good. Never buy stolen goods.

It is nice walking around Petaling Street in the morning. You see life, and nice unique life.

Imagine how disappointed we were when we failed to wake up for the next day’s hot air balloon fun fly. Missed the morning round, and the evening round was canceled because of bad weather.. Sigh.

Conclusion, didn’t even see those balloons in the sky!

Mana itu balloon?

Anyway, since I was quite happy with the long fireworks on Saturday night, this trip is still worthwhile.

KL. Love the lights.
