I spend the whole afternoon simmering under the sun doing Malaysia's number one pastime, lepaking. More or less but for once there is a destination and also purpose..Borders KL and to browse and if possible read and digest some books for free ( Malaysian Style). The place is a haven for readers and the choice of books you can get here is enormous and puts Kino the Bookstore to shame. The reason why i left out MPH is because they carry some good books cheaper than these global bookstores. After browsing books after books, i settled for some marketing books which was Secrets of Persuasion by Roger Dawson ( MPH carries his books way cheaper) and Cold Calling Techniques ( That Really Works!) by Stephan Schiffman. I really spent my time reading and digesting these two books and once i get a marketing job, i'll get em cause they are that good! I just love bookstores and i think if i try and read every book available there i will take my first step to become a "Superhero" or "Wira Kota"...eheehhee...its just enormous!!..every bookworms' orgasmo or sorts...
Next thing to clear my head of books is drinking coffee at a joint that replaced McDonalds as the symbol of American Capitalism and Globalization, Starf$%ks. Oops , i mean Starbucks. (sorry)
Now, because the dude that came with me smokes, i have to forgo the comforts of the plush seats inside with air-conditioning for the sweet smell of fumes and sweaty exterior of Times Square. Sitting out there got looking at people of KL get by and got me worried that despite having superb infrastructure, the Malaysian society still has a long way to catch up in terms of mentality and conduct. There is something wrong out there and you can see it but you cant put to words. Actually i'm just lost for words for the toughts i have. Are we forsaking bigger things in life for the pursuit for material wealth? Or is it the rat race that actually consumed us and made us living life the way of the rat? ....Wanna know what i'm talking about? spend some time stoned with enough coffee and just stare to the pavements in front of any Starbucks in KL and you might just get what i mean.
