soul sister

A Sunday morning spent taking the LRT to Sentral, meeting the best friend and taking her to the city center via her first Monorail ride.

Breakfast consisting a bowl of long-craved beef noodles and 2 overpriced Popiah at Rm3 each.

Walking the whole of Pavilion in search of the perfect dessert and ended up with dark chocolate + matcha soft serve in Tokyo street.

Free loading samples of  posh-looking cakes from the new Lavender Patisserie, Nitrogen ice cream and herbal tea (LOL).

Walking to Imbi as an excuse to past by Starhill Gallery, taking the glass elevator deliberately although the escalator was obviously more time-efficient, then strolling around in the almost-empty Fahrenheit 88.

Finally settling down in Tous les Jours for more carbs, thinking that we would leave at 4pm. Snoozed till 4.30pm and it began to drizzle. Watched as drizzle turned into rain, and rain into storm. Joked about having dinner and supper in TLJ and spend a night in Grand Mellennium. Wondered how umbrella vendors appeared suddenly out of nowhere.

Finally decided to detach our butts from the chairs and head towards the Monorail station, and parted in Hang Tuah.

KL City had never felt more like home.

I believe that there are quite a few people that would go to TLJ with me.

But as for one that is willing to sit by a counter-top with me overlooking the busiest cross-junction in the city, sharing a Pain au Chocolat and a huge sweet potato bun, sipping 2 bottles of Snappers, watching the clouds dominating the glaring afternoon sun, knowing that there was a storm coming, and yet still willing to be my sole company for 3 hours straight?

One that appreciates my silent observation of strangers dashing across the roads despite the working traffic lights and the trays of food emerging from the kitchen, and also managing to come up with random topics to babble about for 3 hours straight?

One that listens to all my nonsense without judging, without trying to fix me or the situation, and just listen?

One that speaks about her own issues and doesn't expect me to come up with a solution either?

One that's perfectly okay when I've gone all quiet to allow my mind to drift a little after a few conversations?

I don't think that I'm capable of meeting many of these people.

But one is enough, and I can't be more grateful for her.
