Four guys + KLCC = One heck of an adventure!

So, we were bored, right after the much dreaded SPM examination... Instead of hanging out or working like any other regular graduates, Afiq has come up with a "brilliant" idea. It's darn simple, actually. Point A to Point B. On foot. Why? Don't ask why, we just did it without the participation of our brains. That's all. We thought it was initially just a walk in the park, our egoistic pride saying "Should be easy, what...". How wrong we were...

Without any sign of an incoming idiotic impulse, the rest of us (that means Voon Keong, Yoke Fei and Yew Sing) agreed to join Afiq in his so-called brilliant idea. What happened to common sense? Why would we agree? Alas, maybe deep down inside, we were struggling to release our inner jackass and this will be our debut adventure.

The idea was hatched on 15th of Dec. The initial plan was to be executed (Operation "Jalan Kaki") on the 16th but due to an illness afflicting Pang, it was pushed back to 17th, Wednesday. Our Point A, was Pandan Jaya LRT station. It was from here we were to walk to KLCC. Starting time:

10:06

First, a pictorial intro of our gang

(l-r): SYS, AAL, LVK, PYF The one in dark blue is actually Afiq. Shocked? We too. Why? It's obvious.

Our adventure starts here.

As we were walking, we stumbled across what seemed to be very familiar to us. It was a restaurant, bearing our classmate's surname.

In case you don't know who Kum Wen Wei is, take a good look below

He is the one second from left. If can't see him clearly, click to enlarge.

Afiq in search of KLCC

As we walked ahead of us, we saw a Hindu and Buddhist temple next to each other along the road near the border of W.P. KL

Soo macho face konon...


There still exists a "kampung" in KL.


Crossing border.


Pretty boys walking down the street...lame....


Our destination (view from Maluri).


The Mosque that Afiq attends once in a blue moon.


Heard that it is a wonderful school.

Noticed a playground... Could not "tahan" long time since played there. So, our inner children took over us. I mean, we are still children. Only older and bigger.

Afiq giving a demonstration to others on how to ride that thing.


Soo in search of hot chicks.

See me, a big ass monkey.

Pang is the only one acting cool....not.

_|_ him la!

Afiq saw this big and long pole and decided to give it a try. Oops! I mean climb...

Afiq doing his thing.

Searching for KLCC.

Then, we came across this Hindu Temple. Very colourful and vivid architecture. Should taken more pictures of the Temple. But, damn the weather. Hot like hell.

Couple of posers.

Bulatan Kampung Pandan and further ahead is Times Square.

As we walk further we found out that there is this campaign going on. Something about traffic safety. But the thing that we had our eyes on is the 3 firetrucks that are parked at the side of the road. Being ex-Fire and Rescue Cadet members, Soo, Pang and Afiq decided to take a picture.

Too hot to handle until we need a firetruck!

Signboard (just for fun).

Walking through Bulatan Kampung Pandan.

No wonder the hobos prefer to sleep under the flyover bridge. It is friggin' cool down there. Even though that time it is hot.

View of KLCC from the roundabout.

As we pass through Bulatan Kampung Pandan we entered Jalan Tun Razak. There are lots of familiar buildings that can be seen there. Even though we pass by there almost a million times, there is no way we will realise it.

RHB Bank building.

Wisma TIME.

KLCC...Dang! It's NEAR!!

We just took our time.

The famous road.

Mercedez showroom.

The most expensive Indian cuisine restaurant in town.

Mumbai (new name for Bombay) Palace.

No chewing gum allowed inside!

Menara Tabung Haji.

We were exhausted after walking for over 1 and a half hours especially Soo. We decided to rest and fill our empty stomachs at McDonalds in Ampang Park. Apparently, a lot of people were staring at us, probably because of Afiq's flamboyant hair.

Five sets and four stupid guys.

Our pit-stop of the day.

The time we finished eating. 1 more minute to two hours since we started walking.

View from Wisma Central.

Pang is so photogenic until the camera is blurred.

100 metres left!

Finally!! After walking for more than 2 hours! We had done it! We actually reached our destination without stopping halfway or taking a cab! We are so proud of ourselves. This proves that we can achieve anything if we put our body and soul into it.

Suria KLCC.

Finally! We reached our objective. What an astounding view from below!

Four Jackasses who made it.

After discussing and some rest, we decided to go watch a movie. "Space Chimps". We realised it was a mistake later... way too lame, even for us. We passed time by walking around and taking photos.

How did they put the Christmas tree up?

Afiq : Soo apa lu buat?
Soo : Tengokla!! (pointing down with full of excitement)

Guess what are they doing?
(looking at/for cleavages)

Pang and LVK enjoying the moment.

Pang hugging an exhibit at PetroSains.

Biosphere crap, bla bla bla

At Petrosains. Excited face of losers!!

Special star on the top of the tree.

Pang is hungry. Again. For a small-sized fellow, he eats a lot. So, we went to the cheapest place we could find in KLCC. Food Court at the top floor.

Pang getting ready to dig in his chicken rice. "Gravy too sweet" he said.

Soo frowning. Soo: Manisla!!!
He called the waiter to add water.

Afiq's super-duper sweet honey lemon.

Keeping it cool...

After the movie, Afiq's mum fetched us back home because we were tired from the walk. A bunch of pussies.

Waiting for Afiq's mum.

Happy to be on our way back!

Even though it lasted for only a day, we had fun and a new sense of adventure. Unforgettable memories and moments was imprinted in our hard-headed brains. These were the last few times we can hang out together before each of us follow our separate paths after SPM.

P.S. : This possibly may be the one and only post in this blog. We will try our best to update this blog and make it more lively. (Yeah, rite...)
