Memo# 27 : The KL Experience?

Ever heard of P.W.T.C.? It stands for Putra World Trade Centre where traders go there to hold exhibitions. It was even the venue for Anugerah Industri Muzik (AIM) ke-14, 2007 on the 28th of April which happens to be be today.

I got up at 10.00am just to walk there to see a bookfair. My sis said something about experiencing KL by foot. One thing I seem to notice is Sentul has a lot of motorbike shops. I think there were over 10 shops I passed through, but considering it's a cheaper alternative to a car yet still KK doesn't seem to have a lot of them.
The journey in the morning *mind you KL at 10 is like KK at 9* was not very humid though the sun was already high up. The weather was cool and breezy and not dry.
We took a wrong detour an ended up taking the long way to PWTC but it was the scenic route we took. The pictures tell most of the story for one point I actually crossed a bridge across a rapid albeit muddy water in the middle of KL!

Unlike stagnant drains in KK, they built an embankment along the river banks and left the river naturally flowing. The ancient MIC building was next to the river and overlooking is the UMNO building.
When we got there, it was crowded with people all going to the book exhibition. It featured mostly from Malaysian publications and God knows some unknown hip magazine.
Went to see the children's section upstairs on the 2nd floor consisting of books mainly from Sasbadi,Sarjana, Pelangi and others.Stopped at the Noddy books corner where they quickly summoned an Indian "teacher" to talk to us
He went on an introduced himself and talked about the benefits of showing this cartoon to kids to promote brain development. It was a bilingual edition in Bahasa Malaysia and English.
Consisting of over 10 books with teaching references and VCD, it so calls gives kids a better grasp of the national language. He said he is teaching is child,age 4, 4 languages (Bahasa Malaysia, English, Tamil, Chinese) and that he doesn't force his child but only to have fun. His famous statement and I quote :

"Do NOT teach your child alphabets"

I was dumbfounded he had the audacity to say that. He said it would only confuse the child as to reading the correct way because Bahasa and English is different in pronunciation
e.g. : buku
B.U bu K.U ku
buku

and something else I forgot. And the price? RM2000

So we left and went around looking again and found another place that sold educational kid videos..price? RM10
We could get 200 of those CDs without getting the Noddy set.
It was already 1.30pm around that time and it was getting hotter. So walked all the way back through another way back to the apartments.

And on the way I saw another decent looking car
