trippin' in KL part one: shoppin'

Kick ass billboards!

Went over to KL over the long weekend. It was the first trip there after, possibly, almost two decades! Wow.

IMHO, KL is a bit like Singapore. Especially, the shopping malls. So shopping wise was, sadly, a bit of a bore. Shopping malls like Mid Valley, Time Square and KLCC have the same brands we have in the lion city. Zara, Topshop, Mango, Espirt, etc. And you know what was worse? The freaking prices and range are the almost same! What's the bloody point then?

However, there were theme parks within most of these shopping malls. One of them even had a mini roller coaster! I wonder when will these theme parks die like the ones we had. Remember Paco Funworld at Marine Parade and Magicland at Marina Square? RIP.

Kick ass fake-os merchandise!

Luckily, there were two places I went to that were a bit different: Sungei Wang and Jalan Petaling (aka Chinatown). At Sungei Wang, you can discover similiar cheap but hip gears you might get in places like Bugis Village or Heeren. Bargainable Fake-Os galore at J.Petaling! Rolex, LV, Gucci, Nike, etc. Bought a Nike watch - which I, later, regretted for it looks, well, ...too fake - for 25 ringgit!

Next: Genting and how fast I went on the go-kart!
