Watching Batman

Trying to watch a movie here is quite a challenge. Cinemas are crowded as schools are on their term break. We eventually settled down to watch Dark Knight, a good action movie, at Pavilion. We again did the fish spa. Quite enjoyable.

KL is in the middle of a monsoon. The weather is always one of downcast and when it rains, it rains big time, but mainly in the evenings. So overall the weather was pleasant. Even when it is hot, it is not so humid as in Brunei. It's probably because Brunei is sitting quite close to the sea.

We went for a stroll in the morning around the compound. The place where we are staying is part of a complex of up to 200 houses. Most of the residents are well-to-do individuals with flashy cars in the garage.

Each house costs at least 2 million ringgits 3 years ago, it is now 4 million ringgits. That would have been an excellent investment. In fact the demand for this type of housing is still quite strong. A few of our countrymen bought some properties around here.

Sri Hartamas and the areas around here like Bukit Kiara are really nice wooded residential areas not too far from the city centre. Drive to city centre during off-peak hours takes about 15 minutes. The new State Istana is being built just next to the compound. This would make the lands here even more expensive in the years to come.
