Mall Wanderings

Now we happen to be at Bukit Bintang yesterday, catching American Gangsters for RM5 at Pavilion, tinkering about at the arcades at Sungei Wang, mooching about the Machines opening at Lot 10...stuff one does at Bukit Bintang.

However, as we were heading back to the car it started pouring so we took shelter at this rather old mall. Now this particular mall we've never really entered before except for maybe once or twice a long time ago, so since we'd time to kill waiting for the rain to stop we decided to wander about.

Colour us surprised at what we found. Empty corridors after empty corridors. Closed shops, empty stalls with 'Under Renovation' pasted all over the glass, travel agencies hidden behind some nook and offices in some other cranny.

We even found a church. :S

Given the ample time and that the mall wasn't that large, we managed to saunter about the entire place and even used a few of the toilets - for walking in empty corridors that aren't all that well-ventilated made us sweat a fair bit. That we found the toilets to be extremely clean showed just how occupied the place was - we don't think that it was just due to the cleaner's diligence of checking every 2 hours.

That there were security guards patrolling about made us feel a bit as if we were playing Elevator Action or summat. At least in Elevator Action you've a gun to shoot at 'em. In our case we took it to move on exploring the entire mall, finding that a particular corridor actually leads upstairs to the next floor, fire escapes to doors with no handles, cargo lifts we had no intention of getting into...and with the mall being so small there was no possibility of our getting lost as we wandered about.

Imagine, a mall where there's not a single shop to enter and browse! We wonder if the place will be torn down/renovated anytime now.

Oh, the endless possibilities of finding things to do when you're bored.
