Moving Out Of KL

I just sent a text message to the owner of my rented apartment in KL.

31st July shall be the last day of my tenancy in KL.

I used to fly to KL pretty often. These days I’d be lucky if I get to sleep over in my apartment once a month. The last time I stayed over, so much dust has accumulated in my room that I woke up the next morning sneezing my head off. Considering what I’m paying and how infrequent to stay over, I’d be better off staying in hotels.

There used to be a time when I go to KL on a weekly basis. I’d attend an event on Saturday morning, then head on to either Sid’s or Phuture for some beer at night. Jaclyn once said I’m more KL than a KL person because I hold a Zouk card and she doesn’t.

A misunderstanding happened between two of my closest friends in KL.

We used to always hang out together, help each other out, tell stupid jokes and laugh our heads off. These days I gotta watch my words so much. If not, things I say might be misconstrued as something else.

A place is only as meaningful as the company you have over there.

Once the company is gone, that place becomes meaningless.

AD: When people asked me whose blogs I read before I started blogging, I say among others – Audrey Ooi and Niki Cheong. Just so happen I met up with Niki yesterday when he came to Kuching and we chatted about our involvement in Project Alpha.

The lucky dude got flown all the way to London to watch a Chelsea football match!

Project Alpha is presented by Adidas Action 3 and supported by P1 and MAS.

    Very true indeed!

  2. It was good catching up with you man. Been nine years since we sat down for a chat! Thanks for breakfast!
    Take it easy, hang in there man 🙂 All these things happen for a reason.

  3. Hi Kenny,
    What you said is true. And I’d like to add that the place not only becomes meaningless, it also becomes a source of painful memories >.

  4. “We used to always hang out together, help each other out, tell stupid jokes and laugh our heads off. These days I gotta watch my words so much. If not, things I say might be misconstrued as something else.”
    can understand that. i experienced it before. sometimes what u said is only mean as a joke or advise, but the other took if offensively.
    and despite how PETTY the fellow is, you can’t help but still want to befriend them.

  5. Hey Kenny,
    was wondering, you wana sell off that table of yours?
    I’m interested.
    drop me a quote via mail ok?
    thanks.
    Regards,
    cheez

  6. It really bites when that happens, but it’s also inevitable. I feel your pain, Kenny, cause I just went through the same thing recently. To hell with them. You move on. I know I am. and even if it’s really difficult, you could always make use of that Zouk card and get hammered and make out with a total stranger. =) Cheers.

  7. I feel the pain Kenny…. i had the same experience over words and actions with a close friend of mine,… it was the reason i started my blog few years back… and coincidentally, it was the year i saw ur blog… and also the same year i started my blog because i can’t help pouring all the frustration i had during the fight with my friend….
    Is been long since i read this short and meaningful piece from kennysia.com

  8. Don’t tell me you kept a mistress in KL? Pop over when you are there? Now she is gone, so is the place?

  9. Always nice to read a blogger’s personal post. Not that i’m being bossy – it’s just that the post will be more genuine and it’s not about pleasing advertisers. 🙂
    Have a good week ahead Kenny!

  10. Refering to Jina’s comment above.
    Kenny Sia has a mistress??..I thought he is not married. So Jina, you were probably asking if he has a girlfren in KL..hmmm
    Kenny, do what you want with your apartment..great blog! keep it coming

  11. Well, that’s how it works with people. no friends forever, no enemies forever. my oldest friend decided to sever ties with me about 2 years ago. painful, but then again, that’s life. we come alone, we made a bunch of relationships with people, but we still ended up dying alone anyway.

  12. Sometimes people like to piss off people around them when they get pissed off by other people. It is a bad habit and they needs to learn more about EQ. Stay calm Kenny, may be they will realise about that one day. ;P

  13. Good to know that I am not alone in this. At least there’s a lot out there who experienced the same thing. It makes things a little bit better here. I just went through this about 2 months ago and it still hurts now.

  14. OMFG your apartment is near mine! well you moved out, i moved out, but i never thought that i was staying near kenny sia! LOL!
