Usually when people ask me where I live I will reply "Desa Petaling"... and invariably I will receive "Where's that?"
My stock answers:
1) "on the way to Seremban, near the S.g Besi Toll"
2) "you know the funeral parlour, Nirvana... well if you stand near there and scream my name, someone or something will usually come running..."
Needless to say, that's how obscure Desa Petaling is... but I like it - the rent is cheap!
Anyway, I have recently taken up walking in the evenings (meager attempt to shed some of those CNY excesses) and walk around the small mingy set of shops just outside my apartment. 1 round will take me about 7 mins.... I do about 5-6 rounds...
Last night, on my first round I noticed an illegal VCD stall sprung up on the corner... yippee!...but on my second round, it has miraculously disappeared!... on my third round... it had suddenly appeared again... so i was not hallucinating after all! By the forth round the light bulb turned on "It's selling porn!!"
....so much for my quiet sleepy obscure neighbourhood....
