Hi peeps, it's Monday again and it's back to the drawing board... sigh... Weekends are too short, I tell ya!
Friday after work, I headed straight for my gathering with our fellow ex-Monashians in Pyramid. Luckily I decided to drive to work on Friday (cos I figured I would reach Sunway quicker if I drove straight from KL after work, rather than take public transport back to PJ then go straight after getting my car. AND I WAS RIGHT!). Reached and parked my car in Pyramid by 7pm (appointment was @ 7.30pm). Our initial plan was to have dinner in Thai Thai (cos one of our friends wanted Thai food). But last minute, she bailed on us cos she wasn't in the mood to come after knocking her car into a motorbike around her office area in Puchong. And since one of our friends was vegetarian on Friday ("chor yat"), we had to go somewhere where she can order salad and what better place than western food restaurant. So... we chose Tony Roma's. There was only me, Yunn Horng, Shi Hui, Jon & Tzey Huey (Carolyn). It was a super filling and fun dinner. Was great catching up with old and close friends (we usually have our reunion dinner about once in a month or two, just to catch up with each other and keep in touch). Was particularly fun that night cos one of our ex-unimates (Carolyn) came down from Singapore to visit us. It's been years since we last met her! =) The dinner ended at 11pm and we headed back to our cars.
On Sat, I went to Malacca for a food & Jonker escapade with Dre & MG. Zoey was supposed to go along as well, but bailed last minute cos she came down with the fever (aww) so it was just us three.
I drove over to Carrefour, Subang to park my car (cos it's free!) and had to wait for Dre & MG for, like, 1 whole hour cos when I sms-ed to her at 9.30am, they JUST woke up. We were supposed to meet at 10am at Carrefour. So I stood there and waited and waited and... finally at almost 11am, they finally arrived. Anyhow, went for breakfast @ McD's then headed for Malacca...
First stop once we reached destination zero was... Chicken Rice Balls! Now, I do not know what's with all the hoo-hahs made by people towards those balls of rice, cos I personally prefer the normal rice to balled up once. We went to the famous shop on Jonker (the one that was recommended by the chinese Ah Xian fella in a makan show which I never watched before). Was tempted to order a normal plate of rice while both of them take the rice balls, but ended up not so as to not "potong stim" for both of them who seemed so hyped up about having the rice balls. Anyhow, it was a super filling meal!
Next off, we loitered around Jonker, going into souvenir shops to look see, into boutiques to try on clothes but never buy, etc... til MG complained that he was tired, so we went to this cafe-bistro place caled the Geographer where I had a drink called Mango Tango (fizzy mango juice with a few strands of mangoes), MG had a bottle and a draft Carlsberg and Dre had the organic coconut (I have NO idea what the difference between organic and non-organic. Heh). It was freakin hot there that we decided to go to a mall to loiter til Jonker Street (pasar malam) starts.
After loitering in the mall, we headed back for Jonker. We watched this "shi fu" who is always there to do a "show" and promote his massage oil. This time round, he poked his finger thru into a coconut! At one point his finger actually got sprained/broke and blood was pouring out, by which he poured the massage oil he was promoting onto his finger. Just to prove his point that his oil works, he showed the audiences his "normal" finger before poking it into the coconut, then his swollen finger after poking it into the coconut and then his not swollen (anymore) finger after using his "miracle" oil. At one point, this aunty standing next to me was telling all her friends how it really works wonders, cos her leg always "masuk angin" then she used it and instantly it doesn't hurt anymore! End up all her friends bought the oil, which was sold that night at RM10 (normal price RM18.90)! Wonder if she has "shares" or paid to promote it for the "shi fu". Hmmm....
Anyways, after that, we walked around the whole of Jonker street and by the time we left the place, it was already 11.30pm! Reached Subang at 1.30am and headed to Carrefour to get my car. That was when we discovered (horror of all horrors!) The whole of Carrefour was locked up! Even the parking space was locked! So I couldn't get my car out of there, nor can I go up to get my house keys! *faints*
So no choice, went to bunk with the couple in Holiday Villa (they rented a room there cos Dre's cousin was supposed to come down for holiday, but bailed last minute so the room was still there... thankfully!). We washed up, watched a little tv, read some newspaper & magazines... and at 4am, we were all too hungry to sleep! So we ordered room service (chicken sandwich). After chomping down the chicken sandwiches & potato wedges (I dunno if it's cos we were famished, but it was DELICIOUS!), we all slept like a log throughout the whole night... err, morning.
Next day, woke up at about noon, then me and Dre headed back to their place to do laundry and chit chat, then by 3+pm went back to the hotel to pick MG up and headed to Pyramid for super late lunch. Went to this Vietnamese restaurant (in old wing) and had our lunch at 4.30pm! LOL! The food there was not bad... quite expensive though... not suitable to makan everyday.
Then Dre and I went to loiter and window shop around while MG went to play shooting game (LOL). By 7.30pm, we went over to Carrefour to buy some stuff and then got my car. Then we went our separate ways.
Well, that was my weekend. Pretty eventful, especially the part where my car was locked in and I could not go back home cos my house keys were not with me, huh? LOL... =P
