what an effort for you to define A-Z on Gaya Street. I miss that place so much especially the paintings and those cactus! And that uncle racun semut racun tikus…tengah in fame! And it does improves a lot. Looks much better than previous years.
Waa.. you aso know uncle Racun Semut Racun Tikus haa. Mmm I did’nt know his so famous.
for me he is famous, selling n promoting different than the rest and yet, the loudest voice so far in Gaya St. but could not be heard at the end of Gaya St.
What I miss most in KK city centre is Little Italy where poket selalu koyak, and the shop behind Astro Centre Point, yummy food! And Tanjung Aru, corns! =D
