Ridiculous

Yesterday went to Great Eastern Mall to meet up with my next client, a website selling cute little clothes for infants. Nice folks they were and chatted up for almost 3 hours. Met at Starbucks and they sell expensive coffees so we are entitled to stay for 3 to 4 hours haha. You guys should check it out at http://zaracutewear.com/

Before that I was at Old Town White Coffee in Bangsar South with Rina from http://lovelyaustere.blogspot.com/, I look for it close to an hour. It's called Bangsar South so off to Bangsar I was heading and in God's gracious invention so called 'Men' were smart enough to call part of Kg. Kerincci - Bangsar South. Damn it, why can't they call it Kerrinci North? It's situated in the north part of Kerincci and is Kerincci under Bangsar? ..errr or Pantai Dalam? A tourist, later on became a friend of mine once said, Malaysians are the most polite people she's ever met. She also said this 'to find your way around Kuala Lumpur, never use road signs'. Ermm so what does that mean? Go figure it out the next time you want to go to a place where you've never been to and you'll be amaze of how stupid Malaysians put up road signs.

A simple example. Start yourself from Dataran Merdeka, destination Kuala Lumpur International Airport(KLIA) and follow through Lake Garden, Jalan Parliment and once you head down hill there is a signboard that says KLIA to the left(which will lead you to Jalan Mahameru and to Jalan Bangsar), the correct route is to stay on your right heading towards Jalan Damansara(in one minute constantly driving at 70km/h you will see another signboard that says go straight to KLIA. This route will take you right into NKVE highway and straight to KLIA.
Question : What the hell?
Answer : Ridiculous Malaysian Signboard.

We Are the Polite Ones

A new month, welcome to August.

Just as I was about to write, thinking of what should I rumble, along came an elderly lady in her early 50's but very presentable started to chat up with me. All she wanted to know was where can she get a set of 'Ink Printers' and I directed her verbally up to the first floor where there is a Mac Apple sole distributor. Originally from New York, we started chatting about almost everything up to her daughter being arrested at Zouk KL. As we musically dance with words for about 20 minutes or so, she got a phone call and had to rush off to somewhere.

She's been here in Malaysia for 36 years and she prefers it here by saying 'I just love the politeness of every Malaysian'. Wah, did you read what did I just type haha. As she gets up sipping her last drop of Starbucks coffee, she greets me by saying 'nice to meet you and what is your name?' I answered 'Ezra', she smiled and said that is a very Jewish name *lol. I smiled and she walks off while I continue writing.

Few days back I got a decent contract from a guy who just started establishing his company 'Travel and Tours' and plans ahead by having a website. This is where I expertly come in. Sitting here in Starbucks not only opens up my mind but it clears it from other thoughtful eagerness that do matter the most but I just have to put it aside for just a bitty whinny tiny time so that I could get some dough and make a living. Will update on this once it's fully operating by itself cruising around for the staged world to see. Tomorrow will be meeting Rina about her blog.

That's it from me today, it's Saturday, will just be hanging out by myself driving-in McDonald's on the way to KLIA and chump chump by the road side, it's kinda hobby of mine, love to see planes go up and down haha. Everytime I do this, which I occasionally do, it'll just remind me more of 'Rain' for whom I've never been able to erase. Chow peeps..
