orchestra of honks

A string of percussions(vehicles) were playing an unfamiliar tune this afternoon in KL, something between the mixture of anger and impatience.
I was going for lunch today and heard an orchestra of honks being performed by drivers around the KLCC area. First, there were the group from the KLCC drop off area. Then, the group from the Mandarin Oriental entrance and lastly an individual from the Mydina carpark lot.
The usual was happening at the KLCC drop off area, some TaxiLou(taxi driver) decided to fish for passenger(when they are not supposed to) held up the traffic there and then began the music piece. A soft sound of a kancil honk was heard, followed by the wira's and japanese imports(clarinets, flutes & symbals). Everyone in the traffic line was joining in the fun, honking away at the idiotic TaxiLou.
Then on the north corner of the stage another TaxiLou involved. Held up the line at the Mandarin Oriental entrance and causing a massive jam. Cars going into the driveway of this hotel are usually the big and expensive cars. They gave no mercy to the TaxiLou and blasted their trombones, tubas and trumpets away.
Then came the solo player, the violinist, a lone ranger stuck in the parking lot block by a lorry whose driver is yet to be found. He played with such panache and with great flexibility in range, tone, and dynamics, i couldn't decipher what it was. :)
Overall, it was a bad piece and total rubbish to my ears. Hahahaha. So much for trying to imagine something from nothing.

it's fun, as long as you're not the one stuck in a parking lot or behind some idiot driver ;)
