I got off at college, just to have the excellent nasi lemak, <b>the<\/b> local delicacy of my breakfast tongue. It was only 9 am, and I wanted to head to <b>Low Yat Plaza<\/b> to have my MP3 USB thumb drive player fixed, once again, but the shop would only be open at 11 am.<\/p>\n<p>So I walked. I walked to KLCC (not a problem) and then headed on towards <b>Jalan Sultan Ismail<\/b>, a major road. I turned right and walked down the road, seeing more and more familiar territory. Had I struck jackpot? Had I stumbled upon <b>Bintang Walk<\/b>, somewhat adjacent to <b>Low Yat Plaza<\/b>?<\/p>\n<p>No, I hit the other end. <b>Sogo<\/b> area. I went on to the legendary <b>Campbell Complex<\/b>, finding three music shops that didn&#8217;t have too mainstream tastes. I hit jackpot, somewhat! Of course, it was only 10 am, and my guess would be that I&#8217;d have to stay around for 2 hours to enter&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><b>Day 2?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I then took the STAR LRT to the Hang Tuah stop, where I would walk to Low Yat Plaza. I handed my MP3 player, for them to finally send it for warranty instead of repeatedly formatting it. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>I headed to Hang Tuah again, to switch at <b>Masjid Jamek<\/b> to reach <b>KLCC<\/b>. I was going for free sushi. (I&#8217;ve never eaten sushi before.) Yes, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.geocities.com\/blinkmed2\" target=\"_BLANK\">someone<\/a> was going to pay for me, for reasons too evil to speak of here. \ud83d\ude42 On my way up the escalator to meet her, I bumped into <b><a href=\"http:\/\/reality-point.blogspot.com\" target=\"_BLANK\">Ed<\/a><\/b> and girlfriend.<\/p>\n<p>At the top, I bumped into her and another friend, and financially challenged as he was, we flipped a coin to decide between KFC and sushi. KFC won.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s ironic how I always get a phone call when I&#8217;m in KFC eating. Nope, not a message. It has to be a call. Can&#8217;t I eat my oily fried chicken in peace?<\/p>\n<p><b>Day 3?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I then headed over to Putra World Trade Center for the <b>astro festival<\/b>, where I was on duty from 4 pm to 10 pm to guard the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.xfresh.com\/\" target=\"_BLANK\"><b>Xfresh<\/b><\/a> booth. There was also a <b>Sony Playstation 2<\/b> to cure bouts of visitor-less boredom. \ud83d\ude42 I also lost to a (about 10 year old) kid in Gran Turismo 3, racing simulator game. \ud83d\ude41 What would you expect of a guy who doesn&#8217;t even use manual transmission in arcade <b>Daytona<\/b>?<\/p>\n<p>Although <b>Day 3<\/b> has the shortest paragraph, it is also the one that consumed most of my day.
