Bersih 2.0 rally

On the 9th of July, there was a street demonstration Bersih 2.0 in the middle of the city. Everyone was advised to stay away as roads leading to the city center were closed/blocked by the police. Hubby and I stayed in the whole day, hubby woke up only around 4.30pm. I wanted to go out badly to buy some maternity pants so just a little after 5, we picked Ayet up and headed towards KL. Entered KL around 6-ish, roadblock after Sg Besi tol was already dismantled. Roads into the city centre were still blocked so there was a mild jam on towards Jalan Tun Razak. We made a pit-stop at Delicious.

After that, we went to KLCC and I managed to buy a flat shoe from Bata. By then, it was nearly 8pm and hubby wanted to watch the news so badly. To our disappointment, we can't find any TV showing TV3's news in KLCC itself so we had to drive out and went to Pelita, a mamak shop nearby. What we saw on TV was quite bad with all the gas pemedih mata sprayed to the crowd and people throwing bottles to the police. 1 person died when he got a heart attact in the midst of all that chaos. Tsk tsk. Drama. After the news on Bersih rally was over, we went back to KLCC where I got myself 2 pairs of working and 1 stay-at-home maternity pants. We made a quick stop at an ice-cream booth in front of the shop before we made a dash to Tony Romas, The Curve for our BBQ ribs. The traffic was clear as most people preferred to stay away from the city. What a crazy outing day it was. ^_^
