The (short) trip


Wedding anniversary, short trip to KL. We've not been here for more than 5 years; way before they did the MRT construction at Bt Bintang. Now that it's done, there's less traffic congestion there & more pedestrian space. Anyway, I managed to drop by KL's Balai Seni (National Art Gallery) & came across this exhibit. The artist turned domestic artists' names into recognizable interpretations with familiar graphics & fonts. You should know where the above example drew its inspiration from. 


Managed to drop by Swee Lee's LOT 10 branch. No customers in store, maybe because it's a Monday. Come to think of it, there were scant shoppers on all other floors. It's not a good idea to locate a guitar store up on the third level with very low human traffic. Did not manage to drop by Bentley Music despite it being just across the road. We walked too much & was looking for a place to chill out. 

Petaling Street is fast losing its appeal. The place is suffering because authorities are keeping watch on the pirated wares sold there. The current inventory just looks rotten. There was no appeal to even browse the items. It was a quick round before grabbing a ride back to the hotel & prepped ourselves up for dinner.


No fancy dinner this time, we opted for a food truck night (@ Persiaran Hampshire, off Ampang Rd, across the road from Suria KLCC). So many choices at one place, that's the idea.


Capping off the night with an outdoor chill out- lights, wind & lots of looking up.
