Lost in Klang Valley

Had a dinner with my sisters at 10pm yesterday at Look Out Point, Ampang, a place where you can enjoy the night view of Kuala Lumpur. Why having dinner at 10pm?? Hmm... some technical problems, let me explain...

Actually the date was at 7.45pm, my dear and I left for the destination from PJ at 7.40pm, because earlier we had jogging and we had to dress up ourselves for the date. Estimating reaching time will be in about 20 minutes, we rushed there with all the strength of the little "Kancil", luckily the road was not jam.

Honestly, we just been there once before this, and we were going there based on Google maps, our memory and a little bit of direction sense over there. We reached Cheras 10 minutes later at a round about and I struggle with which way to take as there were 2 options:
1. the previous memory told me to take around the streets in the gardens of Cheras.
2. Google maps and a friends I consulted earlier on told me to follow Kajang so that I can go there via Hulu Langat, an opposite direction from what I learned before.

In order not to mess up within Cheras, I took the second option and went down to Hulu Langat. Once reached there, I was totally not familiar with that place and no sign boards showing the direction to our destination. Went off the car to ask local people for help, few fellows directed me back to Ampang as there were sign boards showing the ways. OK I assumed there were no such road from Hulu Langat and followed their advise to Ampang. That time was 8.30pm.

Following the directions they told me, I came back back to the round about earlier on, this time I decided to take the 1st option and I went inside Cheras, the streets were really a mess and I gave up, go to Ampang lar...

Along the MRR2, I met Pandan Indah, a place where I thought was a entry to Look Out point, then I went into this garden, again it did not recall any of my memory and I knew I was at a wrong place. Went down the car again to ask for help, but the people there did not know the existence of such place, fine I called my brother-in-law for help, as they already reached that place from their home at Setapak, that time was 9.30pm. He directed me to Ampang Point and follow along Jalan Ampang. And to be on the safe side, I followed his advise although I knew it was going to be a very long way.

After several phone calls and a little lost at Jalan Ampang, finally I reached the place, at 10pm, and they were finishing their meals... I ordered ours and started taking some photos. About 1 half hour later, we end our date with joys and jokes and of course sweet memories. Special thanks to my 3rd sister, as she treated the meal!

finally could enjoy the fascinating night view of Kuala Lumpur...

starving... eat first!!!

On the way back, we decided to go back PJ with our very 1st experience. Without much of lost, and one time of going down of the car to ask for direction from a policeman, we managed to reached PJ 1 hour later. This time, we really learned the way going to Look Out Point in a short distance.

Amazing right? Despite all the failures and anxious, I still managed to reach the place without much anger, and I never thought of giving up going there, as she told me it was such a rare chance we can have dinner with my family in KL especially my 3rd sister who just going to stay in Malaysia for 2 months after coming back from UK.

Well, sometimes I am quite admiring myself for the capacity I have. Now left few questions I had to answer although I don't know the answers.
1. Am I too stubborn? Once I decided to go, I never give up in looking for the way, ended up we having dinner so late and she had to drink milk in order to stop her gastritis, pity her.
2. My glucose store was actually quite sufficient huh?? Or I was in a very high sympathetic discharge state? As I could not feel any hunger? But I knew I was very thirsty.
3. How can I not remember the way going there? Although I was initially very confident to go there by own memory in a short time, towards the end I found that confidence sometimes disastrous.
4. I learned 3 different ways of going Look Out Point in a night, didn't I? And I went almost 1/5 of Klang Valley in 2 hours!! Which is equivalent to the time I can travel back my hometown, Bidor.
5. I used up half of the tank of the petrol... what a waste... haih...

the restaurant- Look Out Point!
