My sorrows brings me enjoyed Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC) beautiful views. After I lockdown myself at home for about 2 weeks, struggling chasing all my deadline assignment’s I decided to clear out negatives vibes inside me. At first, I’m clueless where I should have a moment alone with myself and at the same time worried because it is my first time being alone outside after MCO. But the thoughts never stop me to think twice. Just felt my legs brings me to proceed about my decision. 

After 6 minutes discover what’s new nearby my area inside Grab, unconsciously I have arrived at LRT. From the lobby there I was busy seeking for my Watsons Touch n Go card and suddenly bumped into my old friends. Actually I did not recognized her because we are wearing face mask to protect ourselves from the virus. While I was seeking my thing inside my bag, I heard she screamed my name out loud there, it’s enough to make my heart stop and asked her “who are you?”. She put her mask down said, “kau tak kenal aku ke?” and we start burst our laugh together at the lobby.  Updates session finished too fast because we both rushing to our destination. And from the meet just now I realized my face craved a beautiful smile. 

Forget ‘bout that, keep back on track. While the train collect humans to fill the body, I decided to stop at KLCC station because I think the environment there suit well to my current mood. I called my friends asked her if she have a free time accompany me here and she said “yes”. “I will see you at the entrance” I said. When arrived, I slowly walked to the entrance just to embrace the environment. As I just take a moments of my windows shopping my friends has arrived too. After 3 months couldn’t not to see each other, we spend time together spilling the “tea”, life and family updates and of course boyfriend’s updates while eating cakes. The talk was so good and loud enough to make people saw us with an annoying faced.

The times show us one hour before the sun sleep. So we having a nice tour in the building at the same times enjoyed our windows shopping. Unfortunately, my friend ask me accompanies her to Mark & Spencer store to buy ‘things’ for her boyfriend. That is my first time take a step into an ‘expensive’ store at KLCC. The best part in the store which is the foods section there. They are selling chocolate biscuits, granola, spaghettis, can food and coffee from international brands. The price it not too expensive actually worth it with the brands. My friends take her ‘things’ and spend good cash to the store. But thanks to her introducing me to the stores, I definitely will go check in again.

Times flies so fast. Before we end our ‘day out’ together, I asked her to go to the pool outside the building. While we reach, strong breeze just hit my face and realize how sad I am before having a wonderful day with her. We sat near the pool and watch the fountain goes up and down synchronized with the song played. It was so beautiful until I don’t even realized my tears just dropped. 

However, luckily I have my friend beside me that always gave positive motivations and make me strong enough to stand strong faced my sorrow and stress of my life. Everybody will faced the same, but the way we handle it is different. I believed what I have go through in my life will give me something good in future.
