Sg Wang
We finally could travel to the site today to do some troubleshooting. Many lessons learnt toward the end of the visit. Some of them were to prepare upfront even for the slightest possibility of consequence, never make assumptions, have contingency plans, allow for a reasonable uncertainty and etc. Engineering requires passion. It’s an art.
To pick up a pair of slack ordered about a week ago, Muzani and I detoured to Sungei Wang after the fetch at Subang. I needed one extra to accommodate the long weeks. Despite the exhaustion from the trip, I went on and strode along the narrow blocks of the plaza. Both Sg. Wang and Bukit Bintang complex bring a lot of memories, especially the ones from high school. I remember the moments when many of us lined up to get on the 112 or 123 Intrakota-bus in order to reach the Swiss Garden at Jln Pudu. From there, we had to walk in front of a bank, then behind an old cinema, which had been flattened to the ground already, along side the Bukit Bintang stretch towards Jln Sultan Ismail.
Sometimes, I wonder why majority of us wanted to hang out there. It wasn’t so much of the beauty of that place or the amazing products that they had. The place was crowded, some corners were quite disorganized, and none of the products was one of a kind. But come to think about it, the fact that we could get pretty much 95% of what we needed in that particular area prevented me to investigate further. That’s the whole reason. We could find comics, play video games, stop by places to eat, discover IT products, buy sports gears, and so on, in an all-encompassing-one-stop center. The next shop to stop was like a few seconds away. Some could be right next door.
Nonetheless, I am not able to describe each and every single moment in time spent in there. Unlike my dad who could scrutinize to the miniscule of detail the moment spent in Alam Shah, I only managed to savor a few good ones as well as some bad. The most important result however was to actually grow up in one of the most conducive environments available and develop a character that is still observable until today.
By the way, Power Rangers had decided to stop by Sungei Wang just now. Weird.
