Day in KL

Decided to go check out the Clarks warehouse sale happening at the Corus Hotel on Jalan Ampang (which I've never did before because I had to WORK), which is a short walk from the KLCC LRT station (yay). 

Being the first day of one of the more anticipated sales in the Valley, the line was literally out the hotel entrance... seriously. One auntie asked (who came with family in tow) and found out that they let people in every 10 minutes. My guess was that they're matching the number of people in and out for crowd control. Killed some of the time in line talking to some of the other people in line. Also didn't help that people were leaving with boxes and boxes of shoes.

Since I had forgotten my watch, I guess I spent about an hour in line before I finally got into the sale area. After going around the circuit a couple of times, I didn't get anything and left.

While I was still in the area, I decided to stop by the Pelita restaurant on Jalan Ampang for lunch  (funny really, because it's been YEARS since I last went to the one in PJ) before walking back to KLCC. Also picked up a sample box of Kellogg's Special K cereal after lunch on the sidewalk walking towards the mall - the promoters couldn't open the boxes quick enough to catch up with the pedestrians. I wonder if the Kellogg's people know that Special K is a street name for the drug Ketamine? That's all I think about everytime I see the boxes in the supermarket.

Wandered around KLCC for a bit before calling it a day and taking the train home.
