Top 10 Happenings in Jalan Bukit Bintang

These days, we seems to have found a new hobby and that is, to go 'people-watching'. How it is done is like this. Just go to a cafe that is crowded with people. Order a drink and just sit there observing the many varieties of people. Like what are they doing, wearing or what they might be thinking. That sort of stuff la... I know it sounded like kinda weird. Like as if there is nothing else better to do but to watch people. But if you really sit down and observe, it is very fascinating.

I think it could be because with our current modern living, with work stress, life pressure, relationship problems or our successes, accomplishments and achievement, many a time, we had subconsciously became very self-centered and inculcated the habit of 'couldnt care less' of what's happening around us. You will be surprised of the findings if you just look around.

Anyway, I dont know how to tell la... you think yourself la. Back to my our new found hobby, the other night, after dinner, we decided to go for a drink and we ended up sitting on one of the table opened up on the pavement in front of the shop. The weather was really nice after a heavy downpour. Cooling. With a first class seat (table on the 5 foot way), we saw many happenings/activities right outside the cafe. I even put down my book halfway thru reading it just to look around and watch people.

And here are the Top 10 Happenings we observed along Jalan Bukit Bintang that night:

1) A Mat Rempit threatening a Singaporean Honda Civic which naturally causes many kaypoh on-lookers. Best part is, at that very moment, a police bike went by and didnt notice anything amiss. Malaysia Boleh!

2) Two old ah pek approaching single man, group of man, man tourist, and whispering things to them - pimping prostitutes right outside the walkway.

3) Bapa ayam (pimp), stop in front of the sleazy hotel (next to the cafe) dropping off 3 sexy looking girls who walked straight into the hotel.

4) 10 minutes later, 2 sexy girls walked back into the car. I went like... wah, so fast kautim one arr? 5 minutes only arr? Dunno how much hor like that.... Later on we gathered that the 3 girls must be for the client to choose one la...

5) Many foreign tourist and they usually dont walk straight into a restaurant. Most of them would check out the prices/the food offered over the menu outside the restaurant for more than 5 minutes before entering. Very smart.

6) Many people dont have TV at home. Cause many crowded right outside Speedy to watch free movies.

7) Many people in Malaysia love Michael Jackson. Cause Speedy was airing Michael's mtv on their many TVs in the front.

8) Locals walked with their head looking down.

9) Tourist walked with the word 'lost' written all over their faces.

10) We are the only kaypoh local people there watching people that night.
