Brightly Lit Sunway...

After watching Aladdin, we walked out of Sunway Lagoon and I think I walked too fast, I missed the turning, I went straight ahead going up one escalator after the other and ended up in this beautifully lit walkway. It's the walkway towards the entrance of Sunway Hotel. We were completely mesmerized by the beauty of the creative designs and then plus the LED lights, it looked like a fairytale land.
The decorations were definitely for Christmas with the towering Christmas tree and the fake plastic snowman. That can do because if I were to wait for Malaysia to snow, I mean real snow from the sky, something must be happening up in the air that would be a serious concern for the meteorologists. As we walked down the street, the street became more and more beautiful but of course without the decorations, it would just be any normal tarred road with cars on both sides of the road, parked haphazardly by those who were waiting to pick up friends.
Since we have to take the train back to Bukit Bintang, we cut across walking through Sunway Pyramid. Prayed hard for a bus since it was coming close to 11 p.m. I miscalculated the time as I thought the train service would shut down at 12 a.m. but lo and behold, the kind Rapid bus driver told me that he would be able to make it in time for me to catch the last train out from Kelana Jaya which would be 11:15p.m. You should see my ashen face when I heard that. I have no plan B at all. Then, before I could even mutter a quick prayer under my breath, there was a taxi next to the bus.
The taxi driver was so kind, he took us all in and sent us back to Bukit Bintang. He didn't overcharge us but instead we felt sorry for him. Sorry that he had to travel back and pay two tolls and it was so far away. God knew that we had no more energy to trot along the streets late at night, so He sent us a kind taxi driver to take us all the way back. PS. I'm seriously very slow in uploading photos and updating my blog. I'm just into the second day in Kuala Lumpur. I still have so many more to write in this digital journal of mine and it's going to be 2012 in a couple of days time and I'm preparing for my next trip already... *sigh*
