Limping Marathon Runner

Not too many pics here. I filtered out the lousy ones. I'm pretty selective or picky (you can put it this way) when it comes to photos. 2 scaled down shots of Petronas Towers in night scene. Suria KLCC, its shopping mall, which has a huge place for you to shop around. What do you know!!? I saw Zouk too. No, I didn't get to go in. The last 2 photo shots are just to kill time.... I was waiting for my bus back home. Bus pick up point was near KLCC on the last day.



Whoa!! I just went through a friend's recce trip!! Looks like loads of fun!!! Reminded me of my MenInGreen days. Now, ... onto my KL trip details ...

Nothing out of the extra ordinary that I could write about in this KL trip. Hey! What do you expect? Its an official trip. I was sent to go on a course. My pre-programmed itinenary from 11-15th July daily was:

1. Wake up
2. Breakfast
3. Training
4. Lunch
5. Training
6. Dinner
7. Tea breaks are spaced at 10am and 3pm respectively (Getting fat)
   

I had a good dinner at HRC with Beng on Tuesday and with Wita / Ruri on Friday. The rest of the dinners were bought by local office or course conductors.

But, I learnt a few things during this trip.

1. I look younger than most in my age group
2. Ignorance is a bliss
3. It is always great to travel - because I don't have ESPN channels
4. Rain does have it therapeutic effects
   
5. Conversion rates do not necessary work for you
   
6. I need a hair stylist instead of a barber

A few strangers have commented that I look younger than most among my age. I almost went broke buying all of them dinners. Should I be feeling happy? I do feel a little like 23 now, though technically I'm not. Burst my bubble. Ignorance is a bliss

Usually, EPSN sports channels are my fav during traveling. I didn't subscribe them. So, ... I can only watch them when I'm traveling. Pool championship 2005 was on. I caught a little of "Harry Potter" too.

Conversion rate!! I guess for most of the time, it sure helps ... just make sure that you're not shopping at malls or taking your meals in fancy restaurants. I did come across a neat looking jersey for cycling... its tag, RM$400 odd!! No way, I'm going to buy that. Most sporting goods that I came across at the mall are more expensive than those selling in back home here.

It has been .... a few years since I last walked in the rain. Pure coincidence. I have no umbrella and I need to grab my dinner. Heck, I was caught in the rain. But, it did clear up my thought a little.

While shopping around, I remembered that I needed a Timex watch. I walked into a shop. Within seconds, I heard the sales assistants talking about me and I pretended I didn't know the language they used. Lingering around the area, on the pretense of looking for a watch.
Sales Lady: See? You should cut your hair like this guy. So neat and tidy.
Sales Guy: Huh? You serious. So, square.

Sales Lady: Look at you. Your hair is so long. So untidy.
Sales Guy: His hair style is so simple. Looks simple minded.

Whoa... thanks ... I really need a hair stylist now.
