Shian's Mess: I ROCK cuz I WALKED! (part two)

Part two! for part one check out http://messyshian.blogspot.com/2011/08/i-rock-cuz-i-walked-part-one.html

Ok ok ok! down from the short cut! That disastrous shortcut (cause landslide rip it's handle of the ground, making every step so 'Kan Cheong' (Nervous in Hokkien)! hahahhahaha! Well, we safely reached down to Australian place. Next stop! Padang Merdeka! Well, it was just a piece of green field with one side with stands, and they even need permission from DBKK to even step into the grass of that field. Guess Padang Merdeka (Independence field) does not comes with freedom. hahahahahaha! I guess they only save it for some so called 'BIG' event! What is bigger than we as a citizen of our nation to be able to walk freely in public places, including the field. hahahahha! I think our people mentality still are not good enough to use the field with maturity (not throwing rubbish and no vandalism). hahahhaha!

The shortcut from Signal Hill to Australian place! good find ehh!

Guess what we stumble upon! Car seat made out of cardboards!!

No only in New York Times Square, KK got it also!

After padang merdeka is just straight walking! We spontaneously plan to walk towards the KK big roundabout (near Cathay cinema and GSC) and then walk around area span from Kampung Air to Jesselton point. Beside us are all inter-town taxis parked along the road. For people who loves attention! this is the best place to be in KK! With every taxi driver attention on you! Calling you 'ah chai' (how sabah people call chinese boy like me) or 'ah moi' (for the girls), 'mau taxi??'. hahahhaha! You'll feel like a star! That is just before you step into their car, listen to that broken engine starting off, and the air-conditioner not working, you will curse yourself to dust! hahahahah! Anyway, our legs are our transportation that day, hell with you taxis! along that road, we stumble upon something cool (not 'nice' cool, but 'dirty' cool!). You remember those Hong Kong TVB drama, where they always have the alley between tall housing flats which are flithy, dirty and dark? Here we have it, KK style! Stench of rubbish brace through the alley, with cloths hanged out from their semi sturdy old balcony, and of cause, them Astro disc, make up the KK TVB scene! After admiring how this scene can be used by Astro in anyway for their Malaysia-ala- Hong Kong drama to work in budget, we move on. Do you people from KK knows there is a Old Mosque (Masjid Lama KK) near this area? Most of you do not know right. It is not the big one near the museum, this is one small one, almost house-like, sit majestically up a small hill in yellow. Another reason for you to walk! hahahaha!

Hong Kong in KK!!!! XDXD

Another hidden significant of KK, Masjid Lama.

After that, is just explore and explore around the area of Shangri-la hotel KK. Sometimes, it just need some looking into to find something special which would surprise you ya! Here is what we are doing. Just Strolling from there to Centre Point (CP), cutting across Kampung Air. We should come at night to Kampung Air, there should be some really night time INTERESTING activities which the place are famous for. hehehehhehehe! Cause the KK ramadan bazaar is here!! YAYYY!! What is more interesting than food? ahahhahahaha! we then stop by CP for some isotonics and rest we desperately need! After the good rest, we head to Waterfront for some afternoon photo shoot, cause I everytime come at night, thank god I always do, cause afternoon Waterfront is EMPTY and HOT!! hahaahaaa! To cool us down, we head to the Pasar buah-buahan near Filipino market for some cooling fresh young coconut drink! I highly recommend the stall of a guy wearing a hat, do not worry, there is only one guy with a hat. He chose one of the best coconut I ever drank! Sweet, less sour, and downright refreshing!! hahahha! After a short stroll around Pusat Kraftangan (Handicraft centre), we head to Sinsuran, the textile center of KK! Here they sell all kinds of textile, cloths and shoe with the cheapest price! You know the best thing to look at when you stroll in a city? Is the PEOPLE. The people are the best to look at (not the looking chick 'look' kay!), their expression, their life and their culture, at it's most true.

BUDAK!!! turun!!!!!!!!

We then walk across the main street to some area we failed to find it's name. It houses some really antique shops and a really really really big bundle sale bazaar! where some shirts only cost you RM6!!!! Come here if you need some cheap clothing, if you do not mind that they have been worn before. hahahhahaha! The place is near the KK court complex and DBKK. After passing through the KK city park and reminiscing about my freshman year bus taking days. Walking through the street between Bank Negara and KK post office, we head back to waterfront. I always wanna take picture of them stone fishy! hahahhahahahah! Then we head for lunch at English Tea Garden restaurant. The food was so-so, but the tea was like drinking non alcoholic alcohol....errrrrr.... I don't think that is a good description ehh! hahahhah! Nevertheless, It was really niceee, try the strawberry one ya! hahahahahha

Bundle galore!!

Stone fishy that I mean. XDXD

Strawberry TEAAAAAAAA!!!

Well, The plan is, to head back to Kingfisher using bus services. We thus head to the nearest bus stop, which is in front of the Sabah port building. Guess we got it wrong, cause we been waiting for 30mins and no bus! when there is a bus, it say it would only U-turn back to town to the main bus stop!! Guess we really got it all wrong waiting bus here! We are exhausted, thus we got into the bus, with the plan to go back town to take the right bus back. The bus then slowly move along the coast line, and reach the roundabout about 1.5 km away from the floating mosque. HELL with it, I ain't going back to main bus stop and waste my bloody time again! I stop here, and walk towards the mosque and catch the right bus back (cause the bus route was changed, lazy to explain this)! We thank the bus driver for his short but useful story regarding a man got rob of RM700 just after getting his salary and pay him, we got off the bus! Crossed the road and off we walking again! Under the damn hot sun! Guess if you ain't spontaneous enough, do not follow me for a trip! You gotta be as crazy as me ya (and yes I am praising you Panda Chan!)! hahahahhah! Upon reaching the mosque.....HELL we are already half way through! Lets walk the whole way back! 'We would be Legends!', that's what I told Chan.... guess he will be damn mad at me when his skin start peeling off painfully after his skin burns. hahahahahhhahahah! It was all fun! looking at the different view, while taking the same path! Things are meant to be appreciated at all angles ehh! hahhahahaha!! We got to KF at about 4pm, zombie like, we head to Giant store for some isotonic again! 100 plus never tasted this GOOOOOOD!!!

Guess that is all for my this walking trip! Am looking forward for some more ya! I heard New Zealand have one 'Longest walk' trip which take you across 3000 miles of path and roads!! Perhaps after some well training and stamina then, I will hit that for sure!! Walking, has been so much FUNNNNN!! Guess I can only tell you my experience, you gonna go feel it, try it and experience it yourself ehh! Like what Johnny Walker tells you, 'Keep Walking'. XDXD
