Despite the fact that I’m staying in KL, I’ve never been to any hip or happening place to celebrate the coming of new year.
.
So this year I decided to go, against my intuition that I may regret it, when a bunch of my UKM mates invited me. We decided to countdown in Sungai Wang.
.
Damn the weather that day. It was raining. And to avoid traffic jam after the countdown, I parked quite a distance away from Sg Wang — somewhere around Pudu Plaza. (Huh? Where the hell is that? It’s in Pudu lah, dumbass.) Walked in the rain and my whole shoe was wet by the time I reached Times Square. It was 8 pm. My idiotic friends didn’t bring any girls with them. Darn! This is a blasphemy!
.
After a game of bowling to kill time, off we went to the entrance of Sg Wang. The concentration of people there was insane. I didn’t know there were so many lala chai and seehaam mui in KL. It was so packed that describing it as a can a sardines is an understatement.
.
The most idiotic part is seeing all these people walking around with at least a can of artificial snow spray or party string spray. AT LEAST a can. One guy I saw have at least a dozen or two cans of those sprays, in his back pack. What the fuck?! It looks like they walking into a battle field! Maybe they are. Most people hold one in their hand just in case some imbecile walks past you and starts spraying, you’ve got your ’secret weapon’ to retaliate. Also, some idoitic nincompoop would continue to spray when the ‘bullets/ammunition’ ran out. So the whole place smelled of aerosol. Wah, suffocating.
.
And kesian all the pretty girls who took the whole afternoon preparing and putting on all the ICI/Dulux/Nippon. Kena spayed…oops… I mean sprayed by those grain-brained ah bengs. Don’t lah do that, I love looking at pretty girls. Please lah don’t make them look like they just woke up.
.
There were also a few spaces in the middle of the road that no one would venture into. Why? Because everyone, EVERYONE would spray those stupid stuff at you until you look like frosty the snowman.
.
When the countdown began, everyone shouted on top of their voice. Then the fire works. Too bad I was standing below the monorail tracks. Didn’t get a good view of the fireworks. Actually, it wasn’t that exciting to countdown in Sg Wang. Felt stupid going there.
.
Now, I have a plan. Next year, i intend to go countdown in KLCC. With a few really close buddies. Together with a bottle of good wine and some Heineken. And a portable table and stools. After the countdown, set up the table and stools in the park and have a good time talking and having fun ’til the sun rises. So, I’ll see lah, when next new year eve arrives.
.
Yours Sincerely,
