Awww...
I wish.
It would be nice though, to a certain extend. But I love my sleep. And so does he.
The reason we got up super early in the morning was because of THIS:
Yes, you are not mistaken. We went to the skybridge in KLCC :)
I left the house at 6.20am so that I can catch the bus, get on the LRT, meet Joe at University Station, and head on down to KLCC.
Fortunately Zul, who was on the way home, accompanied me all the way, because the sky was pitch black at 6 something in the morning. Plus I would not feel comfortable waiting for the bus under the street light alone.
Why leave the house at 6??
Well, for this very reason.
Yes, a super long queue!
Tickets for the KLCC skybridge visit is free of charge.
Malaysians, being very kiasu and cheap in our nature, of course want a taste of this privillage. So we would wait in line 1-2 hours before the counter opens, just so that we can go up to Level 42 of KLCC for a span of 5 minutes only, *russell peter indian accent* FOR FREE!
The reason why people are "camping" for these free tickets is because they are a limited amount. It runs out fast, and so, its a race! First come first serve!! You snooze you LOSE!!! Quite literally.
That photo up there was taken when the counter opened at about 8.30am. By the time we got there at 7.30am, the queue was about half of the amount of people in the photo.
That photo up there, IT DOES NOT END THERE!
Outside that line, there is YET ANOTHER QUEUE! That queue is very long, and it happens to be the queue waiting to queue inside together with all the people in that photo!
This is ridiculous!
But most of the people there were foreigners. Australians, Africans, Europeans, Japanese you name it. And of course, we have our own lovely Malaysian people :)
The craze to go up KLCC is understandable. I mean, the twin towers are one of the famous towers in the world! Why pass up that opportunity especially when it is for free?
Zul was there suffering in the queue together with Joe while I sat by the stairs and waited for them.
After that, we had McD breakfast.
DO NOT GO TO KLCC FOR MCD I THINK THE PRICE THERE IS DOUBLE I FEEL CHEATED!!!!!
I suggested we eat in the park facing KLCC because it was nice and cool there.
Then came the time to go up the bridge and for Zul to leave me to phak toh properly with Joe!!!
Hahah just kidding Zul :p
Joe picked the 11.15am session, and we were grouped together with a bunch of other people. First, we watched a 7 minute video about Petronas and KLCC.
I was rather amazed at the structure of KLCC. Such an engineering marvel! Especially the bridge. Do you know that the bridge is actually an extension and is not built connected with the two towers? Brilliant I tell you.
Then came the time to go up the bridge! We climbed all the way up! What? Free bah. What do you expect? EXERCISE!!!! EXERCISE!!!!!
Just kidding.
The elevator that we use was super fast. It has a speed of 6 metres per second, and we got to the 42nd floor in less than a minute! The elevators in college and church are super old turtles compared to those in KLCC!!
It was rather interesting to be up there, up so high in the sky.
Too bad the haze and some ugly construction sites ruined it. Nevertheless, it was nice.
KLCC Park!
Hey shoppers, this is what the roof of the mall looks like!
I think it would be fun to have his job for a day :)
We only had 5 minutes there, and that was all that was necessary.
My favourite part about the sky bridge visit was the fact that Joe was willing to get up at 5 something in the morning, walk all the way from UM to the LRT station at 6 something in the morning without breakfast in an very sleepy state, take a breather from studying even though he has a long way to catch up, and just to go through such a tiring morning even though he was on media duty in church at 3pm till night.
And all that, for me :)
I feel so special and important and loved :D
*cue awwwwwwwwwwwww*
An interesting experience. I do not think that either one of us would want to do it again. Once in a lifetime is enough.
Another fun thing done in KL. But yesterday, it was not what I did that was important. It was more of who I did it with that mattered most :)
And a bonus, Joe helped me with my pork cravings during lunch. He also willingly went out of his way to help a blind dude all the way from University Station to UM, and even offered to stay with him at the bus stop until the blind dude's friend came to meet him. Joe had a good chat with him too (his BM is better than mine!).
This is a new side of him I that I saw, and I like it :) *warm feelings inside*
Thank you dearie for that morning. And for all the sacrifices you made, just to honour your promise to me. And I am glad that you had a good time and a very much needed break from your studies. I hope you enjoyed the company the most though hehe :)
Since the cameraman had to go to church for his media duty, I was to be left all alone on a lovely Saturday afternoon. But, I just finished my exams the day before, its a freakin' Saturday, and I DO NOT WANT TO SPEND THAT DAY AT HOME ALONE WITH NOTHING TO DO!
So, I called up our favourite fashion guru!
And together, we teared up Sunway, TGV, Tgi and Juice Works!
It was a good day. Started off well, and ended just as well too :)
