I was in KLCC after work yesterday to pay my Maxis Broadband bill at Menara Maxis, and since I rode my motorcycle to work, I had to park in the basement motorcycle park like everybody else. The parking fee alone cost me RM1.50. Well, that wasn't the strange experience I had. :")
While walking towards the escalator that leads up to the linkway between Suria and Menara Maxis, right in front of Auntie Anne's (I think), I suddenly had this 'spinning sensation' and lost my balance. It was as if the floor was all wobbly and stuff under me. It felt like walking on balloons, if you know what the feeling is like. And as I fought my way to stay upright these few seconds, up ahead was a security guard and I had to literally cling on to his arm to prevent from falling down.
Well our friend was of cos startled by what 'grabbed' him from behind. (Arm I mean) that he asked me to go take a sit at the nearby eatery bench. I told him that I was fine, I just felt the ground wobble under me as if there was a minor tremor right here in KL.
Later when I went in to the Maxis centre and told the girl across the counter about my little 'experience' a few mins ago, she told me that, KLCC was built with some 'Japanese technology' which incorporates a bubble at the bottom of the structure which allows the entire building to sway from left to right according to the wind speeds...bla...bla...bla... What a great bedtime story, she almost put me to sleep!
When I reached home later that night I pondered to myself was it my extreme schedule and lack of sleep that made me lose my balance right there in Suria? Or was it something else that happened in that 10 or so seconds that the ground went all vertigo on me. If it was fatigue, then how come from the carpark all the way up to the mall everything seemed fine for me?
Of late I've been keeping a really tight and busy schedule, with activities occuring every single second of the day, from work, to my studies, to my relationship to things like 'planning for a brighter future' reflections and step by step action taking. Nothing happens till you take action right? I think I remember Tony Robbins saying, Planning without action is a waste of time, or Dreaming without taking action is the beginning of delusion, or something along that lines.
Today, sitting in my office cubicle at 9am in the morning, down with flu, a bad cough and an even worst headache, I'm reflecting if I would make it out 'alive' in 2 years time. But like I promised myself time and time again, No regrets!
