A Nice Walk

With the weather being nice and all, plus Anita and the boys went to the cinema with some of his classmates, I was left alone after the morning ward round. I decided to take my camera out for a spin. Thus time, it was the E-M1. Just to see what it could offer.

The route? I parked at KLCC and took the LRT to Masjid Jamek and walked towards Central Market. Bring Sunday, the place was crawling with foreign worker enjoying their day off. Plenty of shops there catering for these lot, and I just !indeed my own business.

Had an early lunch at CM, before walking across towards Dataran Merdeka, then off to Masjid India.

Spent dome time walking around Masjid India. A huge Sunday crowd had started building. Shops there were already gearing towards Aidil Fitri wears. Ramadhan was only 3 weeks away.

I then returned to KLCC via LRT and lingered around Avenue K before returning to apartment. It was still early then and Anita was still out.

A nice day outing, with sunny but breezy weather. Would've been better if in was with a crowd. Going around alone these days with a camera can be an intimidating proposition. People would state at you, and it took a while to blend in.

Still there were plenty of photos to be had. Straight to apartment to get them into post and upload them onto the net. My computer and internet connection there was much better than in Gombak.

New Medan Pasar

The clock tower to the north of Central Market used to mark the bus stop in the middle of town. It was a hub, signalling destination was reached and time to alight and sample the city centre.

The clock tower was now bare, meaning no more hustling busses stopping nearby. The whole area was transformed into a pedestrian walkway to good effect.

Nice art deco pattern at the base of the clock towerNow, the central area could use some original attraction or two. It was just too bare. The surrounding area also could use some redevelopment. Some nice old building were out there, and the walkways were being upgraded as well.

I see potential in this place. But first, we must figure out what to do with the Bangladeshi and Nepalese crowd around there. It was starting to feel like a foreign country.
