I could not believe that I slept through the Champion's League Finals. I was at the hospital until almost 3 and was geared up to watch the match since Sunday would be a free day. Just ward round in the morning.
Instead, I just slept in front of the TV and the next thing I knew the scored were already out. Well done Barca anyway. They certainly deserved it ...

We just made a turn coming out of Low Yat, and the next thing we knew was there was a big crowd with loud music going on. A street party.
A closer look and it was a the 7th Latin American Festival, promoting tourism there. Hard to realise that they had been doing it for that many years. It came complete with party, bazaars, stalls as well as dancers. Pretty fun actually.
Unfortunately, we were not really able to sample the food since not all of them were Halal - one of the store from Cuba was, so we did grab a snack. The rest were alcohol-fuelled activities. Great fun, but we didn't linger around for too long.
I was sure the party would go on for a lot longer judging from the spirit of the South American crowd who turned up. They were dancing away as we left. Great stuff!
Definitely would be visiting again on the next issue.

It was not often that I had a Sunday free. This time it was through a combination of patients being discharged that morning as well as my last call being a good 10 days ago. I might as well enjoy it while it lasted.
So, today Anita came along for a monorail ride with me towards Bukit Bintang. Again we started off from Nu Sentral, parking our car there. A short hop to Berjaya Time Square then. We had lunch and Anita did a bit of shopping afterwards before we hopped across to Low Yat.

But we decided for an early lunch firstAnita's power bank failed and she needed a new one. Not an easy decision as she climbed six floors of the mall looking for the one that she liked. We finally found one at the second floor from the top.
It was threatening to rain then, so we chilled out inside the mall for a little bit before making our exit. And then came the street party at one corner of Low Yat with the road leading to Federal Hotel being blocked off. More on that here.
After mingling around in the crowd, Anita wanted to have a drink. We initially wanted to go towards Jalan Mesui to have some coffee there. But the sky was getting grey again. We didn't risk it and walked towards Lot 10, then further on towards Starhill Gallery.
At the salon
Some ice-cream maybe
Anita was suspiciously happy to see the blob!!Starhill Tea Salon was the destination. We had scones - although I had a mocktail rather than tea this time - and some pasties. Proper English style!
All together a nice little outing. Walking back to the monorail station quickly to avoid rain. It poured by the time we got into our car at Nu Sentral. More entry on the Nippon balls here.

As part of Anita's KL discovery program - after the LRT journey the other day - we went for a monorail - or the Monorel as we called it here in KL - ride today. We started just like the other day at Nu Sentral, although this time the monorail station was located on the opposite side of the mall to the LRT and KL Sentral main terminal.
It was still convenient. From the car park, we went up one floor from inside the Nu Sentral Mall and walked across straight into the monorail stop. Equipped with our Touch'n'Go cards, we were well on our way in no time.
Up the escalator at KL Sentral
Nice artful detailing ...This time, it was four stops from Sentral to Berjaya Times Square. Took a bit longer than expected as we realised that the monorail actually travelled a lot slower than the LRT. Maybe for safety reasons. Not only that, it was only a couple of train cars long, half the length of the LRT. However, the chassis were wider with more room to stand.
You get to see a different view of KL from this vantage point ....
Seems to be a city in perpetual development
Don't jump across the platform ....
The "non-security" ...Definitely convenient, helped by the smaller number of crowd on Sundays. Not sure it would be much fun when it was crowded!
Berjaya Times Square Again
I thought the increasing number of shops at the BTS during the CNY period was only short-lived. But I was wrong. The place was buzzing this Sunday afternoon when I went there with Anita.
Most of the shops on the lower floors were occupied and the restaurants were full. The bazaar on the third - called Central Park - floor was in full flow, where Anita did a bit of shopping. While she was there, I surveyed the upper floors and was surprised to learn what they were selling there.
Second-hand luxury items! Handbags and watches among others and they were going at some surprising rate. LV handbags for RM30K! Some Panerai watches going for around RM10K which I though was well below the market price. Worth having a look although I was sure I would get conned since I don't know much about them.
But certainly fun to look at.
Next stop was at the famous indoor amusement park. It was pretty quite. Guess folks were not into these anymore these days .... But the cinema was full though.
This huge shopping complex was certainly making a move forward. There was also some shows going on at the main entrance being televised from the looks of things. Would definitely be doing more reading about those watches ....
