Bad Tourist Guide

I am officially the worst tourist guide around! Ask Jeremy, and he can tell you how terribly and horribly bad I am in finding my way around KL. I was put to the test when I agreed to bring him around KL yesterday afternoon since he has not been stepping into KL for years after moving to Brisbane. At the moment he's on a one way ticket to KL and because I practice Malaysian Hospitality, I wanted to take him around. He's like the most EMO blogger I know. And he wrote his emo stuff pretty well.

Actually, I've been thinking for days on where to visit in KL. The only places I go to when I'm in KL is either KLCC and Pavilion for obvious reasons which I don't think I need to reveal. So, I thought the best thing to show the tourists is basically our infamous Petaling Street where LVs cost much cheaper than in KLCC and my dream watch Franck Muller only cost 1% of the actual price.

The Loaf@Pavilion was the meeting point. After a short conversation with him and his friend, she passed on the tourist guide duty to me. I was trying to search for PS with my GPS and its nowhere to be found, so being a brave driver with no sense of direction, I circled Bukit Bintang and Jln Imbi numerous times to find that I'm heading nowhere. When I was about to give up, I found PS!!! I was so ecstatic for a moment before the parking problem hits me. I can't find a parking and there was a bad traffic jam and so in the end, we both gave up and I decided to take him to our very own Egyptian Pyramid lookalike which is none other than Sunway Pyramid. However, at 6.00pm, I was starving already so I conveniently took him to Wan Hou Steamboat. At one time, I loved the steamboat so much so that I was there every weekend. Even Ky likes it (just to prove that it's good).

We were the only customers at that time. It was way too early for dinner I guess. I tried telling him that I purposely booked the whole restaurant just to welcome him but he didn't fall for it. I guess I didn't sound convincing enough. He did say "KL girls are aggressive" and I corrected him. "Sorry, I'm from Ipoh". Back to the food, I'm glad he enjoyed it as much as I do. At least he agreed with me that the soup and the pork balls were tasty!

After that, we adjourned to Sunway Pyramid. I took him jalan-jalan around some shops for a while and instead of him buying things, I bought a handphone. It wasn't for me but for my mom. Eversince her Samsung (which I passed down to her) phone battery became obsolete, she had to use my sis's sony ericsson and she had so much trouble in using it so I thought getting her another Samsung would be a good idea. Jeremy was waiting patiently for my retail therapy activities and after that I took him to my favourite hang out joint, Republic which is just outside Italiannies. It's an open air bar with music, tv screens and comfortable chairs for a drink and a smoke.

Getting my cherry popped for Guinness.

It was fun hanging out with him because he taught me a lot about alcohol. He told me I was missing the best part of life if I haven't try Guinness Draught and so I took a sip from his glass while closing my eyes to fully savour the supposedly heavenly taste that most Guinness fans seemed to claim. Ok, I had to agree that it was good despite it's black. I have always stereotyped black liquid as bitter drink. I told him that he's missing the best part of life if he hasn't try single malt whiskey or whiskey on the rocks.

Jeremy & Me

We went on and on until it was 11pm. I sent him to the Asia Jaya LRT station only to find that the LRT station has closed at 11.30pm. Therefore, I drove him back to his hotel in KL before reaching home at 12.45am due to some stupid roadworks at Jalan Imbi that forced me to make a detour!

He'll be flying back to his hometown in Kuching this weekend before returning to KL again. And the funny thing is, there might be a possibility that I'll become his landlady soon. Ooh... someone that I can call up and chase for rental every month. And maybe make his life a nightmare by forcing him to clean the condo properly by having monthly inspections. Or I could make use of the swimming pool facility... Haha. I hope I didn't just intimidate you and you'll regret renting my place! Nice meeting up with you anyway and I hate Man U for beating Chelsea 3-0 yesterday!
