Adventure of the day. HAHA.

Today i woke up at 10 oclock in the morning from a very tiring thursday night. Streched really hard got up and went to bath. In my mind thinking about a meeting im suppose to go to at Wisma HELP regarding World Health day. Seemed very ordinary to me. OK.
Moved the car out, it was so dusty and dirty (poor baby) and went straight on to KL. BK called,

Ameer: Hello?
BK: Where are you?
Ameer: (no manners ah this guy?) On the way...
BK: You want to makan first? Have you eaten?
Wen Jun(in the background of the Phone conversation): He sure makan first, thats Ameer .
Ameer: No i havent.
BK: Where are you now?
Ameer: Roffmans roundabout
BK:Ok ok we eat first, see you at the mamak downstairs.
Ameer:Ok.

Traffic was rather ok today, moving at 12 was easy as people havent moved out from office yet for lunch or rather just waiting for the clock to give the green light for lunch. Finally reached at the parking lot, the ticket machine wouldnt give me a ticket. Pressed it like mad, then a hit in the glass made it spit out the ticket. The machine needs replacement i tell you. After parking, which was suprisingly easy because usually its full at around this time, went to join the two idiots for lunch Burp, done. Went to the elevator went to the DSA room and suprisingly the meeting finished. Hahah... what wa waste of time. So we decided to research more on a contact to believe is able to produce our customized pin on badges for World Health Day (please do come, its gonna be fun).

This is where the fun begins.

Ameer: You really wanna go to Petaling Street now???!! I havent drove there before.
Wen Jun: Come la, we go there now and go find that shop.
Ameer: BODOH, u dont even have a contact number, an adress or even an email to contact them or find them. How the hell are you gonna find them.
Wen Jun: Just try only...
Ameer: Bengong... looking for a shop in petaling street isnt like looking for a shop in SS2 ok!! Its big and its crowded with shops.
BK: Never mind, i got save the map to get there in my iphone. Come lets go now.
Wen Jun: We park there and then ask every shop,"u do custom badges?"
Ameer: really clever u guys....

Eventually we made a move form Wisma and went of to jalan duta. Personally i havent drove in KL yet but only once when i was in gombak looking for a person.
We reached jalan duta but it was in a slow crawl, but bearable. I was driving kind of slow at the moment cause it was raining and congested.

Wen Jun: Wah! why is Ameer driving so slow today? 40 kmh! I cant believe you have the patience to go that slow.LOL.
Ameer: Its raining la bugger drive slow la...

And then the police car tried to break in the long cue and succeded.

Wen Jun: Just because you police u can cut in like that ah?? Ameer come go bang his car..
Ameer: You carzy? You pay la!

Bla bla bla......

Then we reached the weirdest junction ever. We were trying to get to jalan kinabalu at the 3 oclock exit, but we couldnt find the 3 oclock exit. WTF!!! How the hell to they design the roads in KL!!!???? Youre actually suppose to turn left and make a big round to get to the ramp joining the road. With no not enuf road signs, any newbie like me would get lost. We actually did missed the turning and had to do a crazy u-turn in the road up ahead. Bravo la....

All in my mind today was to go to a meeting and comeback, i didnt figure it would end up to an adventure in KL almost getting lost...haha...
Anyway, we reached Petaling street and shoped around and asked around. Got a lead, went to Central Market, the building hasnt changed but the inside is very much diffrent now. With alot of artwork i never knew it had!!
I would suggets any tourist to go there because the batiks, keychains, dresses, anything artform is find-able there. Just get to the nearest LRT and head to Pasar Seni.
Finally found our shop, asked details and was appy with the result. In the end we were happy with our findings.
Moral of the story? Need to go somewhere you dont know? Google map it, save it in a phone, bring it along. The Best advice? Get a GPS phone. The pathetic thing was, i had ONE. HAHAHA...
Didnt know we were going to Petaling Street on a day like this.
