pwned
I have never been one for directions. Give me a map and I’ll make paper aeroplanes out of it, at least until someone tells me what to do with it. ‘Geographically-challenged’ is my first, middle and last name; I am the next Christopher Columbus minus the mega discovery.
So when I had to make a trip to the Indonesia embassy, I asked for all the directions I could get. I received a very graphic one, and realised that it is somewhere near the American embassy. Of that area, I know the exact locations of the American embassy, Menara Tan & Tan, and… erm that’s it.
Off I went in search of Jln. Tun Razak. I got there just nice, took the U-turn before the traffic lights turning to Jln. Bkt Bintang, spotted a big white building with a red/white flag hoisted on a pole, couldn’t locate any parking spaces, decided to park at Menara Tan & Tan which was next to the building, got out of the building and walked towards the embassy.
Any dumb fuck familiar with KL would know the big white building with a red/white flag hoisted on a pole next to Menara Tan & Tan is in fact the High Commission of Singapore.
Well, this dumb fuck found it out the hard way.
So I asked the policemen stationed in the booth for directions to the Indonesia embassy.
“You pusing keluar, jalan ikut kanan, terus je sampai trapik lite, pastu nampak bangunan putih yang besar, tulah embassy. Hah.. you kena jalan la… you jalan lebih kurang 15 minit sampai la tu… sana takder parking punya…”
Which I did. Under the hot scorching sun. In my high heels. For 20 fucking minutes.
That was how I got pwned by the Indonesia embassy.

Faint. So now you know the white buiilding you often pass by.
I agree with the previous Google Earth Fantics. I used it to grab a satelite photo of work in order to decide where everything went on our open day!
take a cab.
LOL.
there’s another building on that same row with a red/white flag…. the Japanese Embassey. heh
my gf asked the policemen around that area also and they gave the wrong directions. herrow, ape visit malaysia 2007??!!
I use wikimapia a lot, don’t remember why i didn’t use it that day.
This would be funny, if not due to the fact that you were raised on Singaporean TV
Surely you’ve seen the Majulah Singapura intro at least once in your life.
This is something that always baffled me. A lot of Klang valley locals don’t seem to know how to get to places in their own backyards.
I’m from East Malaysia and after living in KL for only 8 months, I know almost every nook and cranny in KL, Selangor, Shah Alam and even Ipoh (me and my friend like to drive up to Ipoh for supper and lunch at least 3 times a week; tau geh chicken – YUM!)
My colleagues who are local KLites often call me to ask for directions when they can’t find a client’s office. The irony!
Azmeen: but they are so similar!
East Malaysian: but I am not really local…
don’t use that road v. often either
