kuala lumpur

i went to KL for 2 days last month attending Hazop meeting at Ranhill-Worley. took earliest flight out from senai, with Bert and Laila.

while going up the escalator at kl sentral, i mentioned to Bert that in england there is an unwritten rule when riding the escalator. people who ride it would stand on one side of the escalator making way those who want to run up/down the escalator. he told me, that is also the case in kl now, and there are signs too. that is a good change, i thought. later, i witness this when alighting the putra LRT at Ampang Park.

i had one big surprise before that, though.

EVERYBODY IS QUEUEING UP TO ALIGHT THE LRT AT KL SENTRAL.

i was very, very surprised. the society somehow has improved. it is very, very rare to see this. i didn't commute at peak hours enough during the short visit to kl to see if the queueing thing is the norm everywhere. i sincerely hope that it is not only practised in kl sentral. bravo to you, KLites!

that night i went out for dinner (and a long chat - sampai kedai makan tutup) at burger king klcc (yeah, dinner...) with Imam. quite some time since we last spend some time borak².

the day after before going off to klia i went to his office and have a short educational session about pipeline laying and pigging. oh, i have to mention that Imam works at R-W. thanks for the hospitality, man. and the short ride in your honda city.
