KL welcome me with a refreshing rain this morning as I woke up. Not so refreshing were the slumming doors and the wind that came from no where. Met a new friend at work from Australia. So, at least I no longer sit in a lonely cornor trying to finish work and trying not to dooze off basked in afternoon sun.

Maluri station, the LRT station about 5-10 mins walk away from where I stay has this amazing view of the twin tower and the place called Jusco where I normally buy food. The rail station is a nice change of scenary from Canada since wherever I go is surrounded by lavish greens. Last weekend, I managed to venture out into the Batu Caves after getting lost trying to find a bus. The buses are not always easy to find. Apparently, they had a restructuring of the station I went to. After getting lost for about 1 hour, I was approached by a taxi driver. Not wanting to sweat out anymore than I did (already drenched in sweat at that time), I decided to get in and pay the 15 ringgit fare.
Being a major tourist attraction, I saw many people holding their camera. Of course, by the time, I've climbed up all those stairs, I was in no better place. Both my camera and I were drenched in sweat. I was a bit disappointed when I got to the top since I expected something more grand and more beautiful.
Being afraid of height, coming down was a challenge. Without much support in addition to the uneven steps, I ended up hugging on whatever railing I could find and proceeded my journey down from the mountain.
wow... love the view. My knees would be shaking too. What's at top anyway?
