This lady of leisure

“…Don’t miss the sunset. You’ll fall in love with the city again as well as the person that you’re with. So remember to bring the right person!”
Part of the audio recording at the Menara Kuala Lumpur (Menara Kuala Lumpur)

Just got back from a four day vacation over the weekend in KL with relatives. Did the whole tourist thing. Also walked up and down Bintang Walk more times then I ever want to again. Lined up for skybridge tickets for the twin towers. Asked directions to almost everywhere. Got mistaken for a Singaporean.

We (aunt, cousin and I) were wondering why there wasn’t much night-life..realised o the last morning that the roads behind the Walk were where all the people were. -_-

But still, is live music so sadly absent in Malaysia? Aren’t there any jazz clubs around?

There was also this large very Hong Kong movie style club nearby. Complete with gaudy gold décor and cheesy name. :D

Went for an MPO matinee (Mozart, conducted by Matthias Bamert with Nancy Argenta as soprano soloist) on Sunday afternoon…had seats in the front row!! (front row seats are not exactly the best for orchestra performances :P). Anyways, we were seated right in front of the strings-so this gal was happy! Could literally see the vibrato and hear the fingers sliding across the strings when they shifted positions. Had absolutely no view of the woodwinds tho’. Also observed that many in the string section were married. (Totally unrelated to Mozart heh)

Random pictures, not in any order:
