TV: While we were being pushed along
this twenty mile long entourage, Sharizal
called...
Sharizal: Where are you guys?
Lu Sean: Watching the chariot...
Sharizal: Waltzing at the Marriot?
Lu Sean: No! Think Gavin DeGraw
Sharizal: Oh... I wanna join
Lu Sean: Meet us at L.A. (Lebuh Ampang)
We never got to meet Sharizal as we were soon
stuck in a massive gridlock of people and
vehicles between Chinatown and Little India.
She walked towards the coconut smashing frenzy
while I stayed in the car and calculated the
remaining fuel. Meanwhile, I suggested to
Sharizal to move ahead towards Jalan Raja
Laut.

many Indian shops there, Leboh Ampang
is a popular stopover for the chariot |
Lu Sean: I was especially impressed
that most of the people were walking barefoot,
even children who didn't seem any worse for
the wear. It was interesting to note that
most of those walking barefoot were women.
Guess we know who the stronger sex is. Also
impressed by how there were free food and
drinks along the way offered by charitable
and commercial organizations. As TV said,
if it was a Chinese festival, almost everything
would have a price tag (as we both witnessed
in the Nine
Gods Emperor festival).
