Be Happy

It has been a long week.

 When the time is appropriate it would be told.

But just for this afternoon, it was good to see joy and good fun again.

Walking along the streets of Kuala Lumpur on a hot Sunday afternoon , I was attracted to a group of dancers.

Yes, it was right in front of Pavilion. Kuala Lumpur is so colourful; thriving with a hive of activities and fun loving people. Malaysians are spontaneous and creative. It is also so cheap to stay in Malaysia; food is abundant and housing is affordable. You can buy cars without qualms and petrol is subsidized.You will know what I mean if you try to survive in Singapore; how to buy a roof over your head when you start from scratch ?

Do I guess correctly if I may say that this lady took the initiative to start some dance motions and lo and behold...

She easily collected a group of followers without much persuasion.

So they hopped, jumped, swirled, squatted, kicked and finally danced under the hot sun...so much energy. It is good to see young people having clean fun. It is also so good to see them happy. We have to learn to be happy.

So without a doubt, every time I get to the heart of Kuala Lumpur, I choose to visit this place for food.

Yes, right in front of Lot 10... the Heritage Food Village.

 

 You have to get into this building to get the heritage feeling. It reminds one of Kuala Lumpur in the 50s and 60s. So much food and original tastes. Noodles, rice, sweets and concoctions only found in the streets of good old Kuala Lumpur from generations ago all congregate here. Price? Go find out yourself.

This vendor here pushes a trolley selling herbal drinks and look at that thermos flask. I remembered having that in my home when I was a little girl. So they try to permeate the ambiance of the long ago days of Kuala Lumpur. I also noticed a lady dressed in white pushing her trolley calling out loud ; siew mai, siew pao...she had a strong voice.

They serve coffee, tea, toast bread and foods related to the past. A real good feeling.

Guess who we saw. The YES man and the big boss having his lunch here too. He had a group of young people around him; the mentor and his mentees.

After a week of events, the afternoon brought me some gladness of heart again.

It doesn't take much to make one happy; does it ?
