It's funny though, the other day someone was ordering McDonalds and her brand new MPV was in the process of mounting a curb and damaging her side skirting, I pressed my horn and gestured to the ground and curb but got a finger from her. After the helpful staff pointed out to her, she reversed without knocking and almost slammed into me. I had to reverse quickly but luckily in the end everyone and their respective cars were ok.
While on the way to KL, a lot of interesting things happened and really respect the local drivers here as they gave way for folks on the right lane of the highway and most of the time without any prompting from other drivers. Would have made any driving instructor in SG proud. Made 3 trips to KL, Selangor over a space of 1 month to look at projects and basically to replicate what we did when we first came to Iskandar.
Stayed at hotels in Mid Valley mall area, 1 Utama as well as the Giza place, lots of nice areas like Bangsar, Mont Kiara that a good bro showed us and we went to other developments including Kajang, Cheras. Seems most of IJM projects in the area there are mostly leasehold. Brought my family there as well and the Mid Valley mall is large especially if you take into account the Gardens as well. Bangsar was really vibrant at night.
On my 3rd trip, only my wife came and we went straight to Genting from HH to the summit in about 4 hours including breaks. Traffic was really light and no serious jams.
So we took it fast and then took it real slow I guess when we got there. Really foggy and no rooms available, once we settled down to a nice parking lot overlooking an edge, I proceeded to bring down the seats and made the back rows essentially a double bed and we spent the night there with the windows wound just an inch. Talked and read some books while we were there and it was really cold when it started to rain. Whenever we had to go to the loo, just left the car and went to the hotel nearby and the night passed very nicely though it was too foggy to see the stars.
Next day, went to the casino with my wife and she lost some money while I abstained. Had to pull her away this time and changed roles to be her brakes. Baccarat tables, some blew 20-50k just like that while there were some significant wins as well. Now, while typing this and sitting at the Killiney coffee place at Mydin, I still remember the smile on one particular chaps face as he lost all his big bet. He came in, made one single bet, lost and left. Respect as many probably cannot accept the loss like he did.
