Kuala Lumpur City Night View from Lookout Point

Went to Lookout Point yesterday evening after work, even though the weather wasn’t promising. The rain has just stopped when we were about to leave office.

Misty Kuala Lumpur skyline from Lookout Point

So, as expected, the type of sunset view that we would have imagined, wasn’t there. It was just too misty. At times, the KL Tower and Petronas Twin Towers were totally covered by mist. Being able to get the above picture was lucky enough :p

Some photo kakis all geared with their photography gears.

Due to the discouraging view, I decided to temporarily “sao gong“, headed for our dinner at a western food restaurant there, known as Bread and Olives.

When we’re done with our dinner, wohohohoho…. the view was totally clear from mist. We had a clear night view of the Kuala Lumpur skyline.

Zoomed in to the Petronas Twin Towers.

The Twin Towers rendered blur by manipulating manual focus.

A Place for Night View, Not Food

My only comment for Lookout Point is, it’s undoubtedly a place for a very wide angle of Kuala Lumpur skyline, but probably not a place for food :) I have only went to Bread & Olives, so not fair to generalize the statement. However, generally, comments on food places there are quite negative.

I couldn’t accept the fact that Bread & Olives doesn’t accept credit card. Ya we were asked to pay in cash. Wah lao.. if a guy brings a girl there for first date, and thinking it should be possible to depend on credit card, that would be damn bloody embarassing. Couldn’t find any ATM machine at hill-top too.

Bought Bus Ticket for the Wrong Date

Yesterday when I reached Melaka Sentral, as usual, I took out the KKKL Express Melaka-KL 4.30pm bus ticket from my wallet. Then, just to reconfirm, I checked the date stamped on the ticket.

The date stamped on the bus ticket was 10 May 2008. I took a look at my watched, but the day display was shown as 11. I was stoned!!! But, optimistically speaking, I told myself that my watch could be wrong. So, I took out my phone, looked at the date, but it was also shown as 11 May 08.

O shit!!!!! F**k! I’ve bought for the wrong date! What a big mistake I’ve made.

Knowing how Melaka-KL ticket is selling like hot cake on Sunday, I don’t think there’s still any ticket available for me to purchase on the spot.

I walked into Melaka Sentral, but as expected, KKKL, Delima and Transnasional were all posted with a paper written: “Kuala Lumpur Today Sold Out” or “Kuala Lumpur Hari Ini Habis

Again, being optimistic, I told myself “it’s ok… I can still buy Monday 5.30am bus, and I can still get into office by 9.30am”

But again….. 5.30am Melaka-Kl bus for Monday was sold out.

Went to the least demanded Melaka-KL express bus operator - Jebat, but the only schedule available was 10pm. This trip is too late for me.

Leaving with no choice, I got to prepare for the much more expensive alternative - taxi.

So yes, I end up coming back to KL by taxi. There were 4 passengers, and each were charged RM40. aaaaahi~~~ what a big big big mistake I’ve made.
