Weekend Life in Kuala Lumpur

This morning, Poslaju, a national courier company, delivered this Apacer USB flash drive to my home courtesy of Citibank Malaysia under a credit card promotion. Thanks!

Went for a late breakfast and needs to be in church to move the music equipments over to the International Youth Centre hall located at Bandar Tun Razak for my church's Easter service tomorrow morning.

Was supposed to be at church by 3pm but the heavy thunderstorm was too much. Went in my friend's car and traffic was overwhelming at the Middle Ring Road with flash floods happening on both sides of the road.

Loaded the keyboards, mic stands, percussion set, wirings only into 1 van.

Forgotten about taking photos.

After setting up the necessary equipments, it was about 5pm and the weather was still bad. I'm sure there would be some places that would be flooded by now. Went back to church to see other teams having their last practises for tomorrow's service. Two groups of dance teams and the youth team (drama) were there.

Few of us came to my housing area and dropped by at Tasty Recipe restaurant and ordered our dinner. I ordered a Curry Fish Fillet and finished it off with two places of white rice. Everybody seems to be full until someone mentioned "Why not we go for durian?"

Well, my stomach has some remaining spaces left just for the durian. We hopped over to the durian stall just over my condo's perimeter brickwall.
Our lady friend from Hong Kong just wanted to show this big durian to her friends back in Hong Kong.










The stall owner was opening the durian for us and we just dug in finishing off five durians, right after a heavy dinner. How not to grow fat?














Out of five durians, only two were nice with the other three not up to our standards.

Until today, I still wonder why westerners couldn't cope with the durian smell. Westerners considered the smell as real pong.

In Malaysia, the durian is not allowed to be brought into hotels or airports due to westerners' smell sensitivity......hehe. It's true!

Cost - a friend treated us to it. Should have eaten more if we knew it.




The nice yellow juicy durian.
