Kuala Lumpur in October 07

I went to KL twice in October 07 for dental courses. It was fun in Sunway where I stayed in Sunway Resort Hotel, filling my hungry stomach with Chicken Maryland Irish Coffee.




During the second KL tip, interestingly I've met one of the large scale riots in Malaysia. Hindrah, which was organised by ethnic Indians in KL, had set forth again to arouse attention.
I was engrossed in taking photos of the petronas twin tower and myself. Then, I realised that all the people around me were Indians. They were cheering, shouting, making helluva noise. There was a group of Caucasians heading towards the twin tower, but they were stopped by police and the barricade set up surrounding the towers. One "kind" taxi driver told them:" Oh, the twin tower is closed today... because the indians are having celebration..."



First hand experience of what tear gas smell like. It was pungent! Erosive! and Acidic! I Felt like I've inhaled powder of anhydrous sulfuric acid, slowly burning my throat and trakea and my lung as i try to breath...

Yes, I ran away from them. Yet taking picture of them at a distance far away. I don't want to end up be like this pile of broken ceramics. KLCC at night is a spectacular view for photo shooting. This was taken using my sony ericsson handphone camera.

Dinner was Penang Curry Mee at Little Penang Cafe in KLCC. Freaking RM9, but worth it. Actually taste good!

Standard Charted Marathon 2007

As a starter, I ran the quarter marathon started at 7.15AM on 2 Dec 07.
What else motivates me more than the 40 thousands participants and scenic view along the 10km route?

Impossible is nothing. I became the poster boy for Adidas. I am just dreaming.
