doing what i do best

-a little update about what i did over the past few days-



tuesday was the first day of my new semester. many of my classmates were not back from their hometown yet, but classes had to go on as usual.

in the afternoon during class, it rained heavily.

guess what happened?

.

flood
it started to flood. this pic was taken from the class i was in. take note of the water level. thankfully, the rain and water level subsided before my last class ended.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

on wednesday, it is a totally different story.

i went to town.

went to meet veekin at masjid jamek lrt station at 9am since he insisted we go for breakfast.

i parked my car at the sri petaling station and took a train down.


we went to the mamak stall nearby the station and had a drink before taking a bus to bukit bintang.

i have not traveled around town with public buses for sometime.

the ride was ok.


we went to town for a purpose actually.


pavilionthats the purpose.


bukit bintang area is so totally catered to the upper class people. haih. so not fair.




what's opposite pavillion is this:-

louis vuitton
hope to do some shopping there. i wish~~




these are some of the very few pics i took at pavilion.

jaguar x-type

the escalators

the grand steps
the main entrance leads to the grand steps and whats opposite is the escalators.



some boutiques:-

stage
by jessica simpson.

obaibi
i think the name of this shop is rather cute. it sells baby stuff neway.

chateau de sable
also baby clothing.




one of my favourites. juicy couture
in the mall.
from the outside.
the "lobby" in juicy.


other shops are like esprit (3 floors), topshop (2 floors), quiksilver and roxy (2 floors), paul frank, etc.

did i mention that there is 'animal' there too? well, unfortunately there is. i went in to look around and guess what i saw, the exact same purse i bought. *sob sob* DAMN~ i thought i could be the only one to have it.

yeah, nvm.




in the toilet.

after one over hour in pavilion, we went to times square, supposedly to meet up with my frens at 1pm.

on the way, we stopped by at...

nzn
a hot sunny day, perfect time and place to have a sundae.

our custom-made sundae
3 flavours - mango passion, orange with chocolate chip, and cookies and cream
4 toppings - chocolate chip, chocolate syrup, caramel, and blueberry

the taste?

.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

PERFECT

but for veekin only.

i thought the mango passion didnt blend in very well with the other 2 flavours.

after ice cream, we walked to times square.



after much walking, and after lunch, we went to starbucks to sit around.

damn BORED~

we were waiting for fern, jimmy, teing, and eric to come. at that time they were in pavilion.



finally, they arrived about one over hour later.


-_____________________________-"


we went to walk around again. teing went to shape her eyebrow.
jimmy was busy taking pics of the restaurants for our upcoming assignment.
fern, teing, and i, were busy bullshitting.
the other 2 guys were busy doing nothing.

i bought 2 magnets from times square. veekin bought one.




other stuff i bought:-

pink handphone pouch

so by the time it was about 4.30pm, we decided to part ways. i was supposed to go home, but i insisted to go to low yat to buy some stuff.

in the end, i bought a phone protector and a screen sticker for my phone.

i was still not satisfied, so we walked over to sungai wang.


handphone charm #1
pink heart with angel wings with a pink bell and a diamond love as well as a pink dandelion. pretty!


veekin bought some stickers to decorate my phone too.

LOVE~

after that, we ciao home d.

reached home kinda late, about 8pm.

looooooooooooooooooooooooong day.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

veekin decided to follow me to uni on thursday.

while waiting for my class to end, he revised in my car and the mamak stall alternatively.

went to pyramid later to catch a movie.


bourne ultimatum
the movie, i'd say, was nice. tho i didnt watch bourne identity and supremacy, but i can kinda guess the storyline of bourne.

being an advertising student who has studied some stuff about video shooting, i noticed the scenes in bourne to be very shaky, especially during the fighting scene, nothing can be seen at all. too fast d lar.


after the movie, i accompanied veekin for dinner nearby his place.

oh did i mention what i bought from pyramid?


handphone charm #2
i love this heart. its so damn nice.

so now my phone is OFFICIALLY PERFECT! im serious!

after makaning, then as usual, ciao balik rumah lor.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

teing followed me back home from uni on friday. we went to pyramid first though. i went to play my snooker, and she went to play some stuff at the arcade.

when she was done, she came to meet us at the center.

she was bored so she decided to do something more productive, which is counting points for veekin and i.

so after much ask and answered questions, im proud to announce that teing is a trained and mastered point calculater for snooker!

CONGRATULATIONS TEING!!

hehe...

we reached my house about 9pm and her boifren came pick her at 9.30.

at 10pm, i had to start doing my assignment d.

tired.





this time i realy gotta go out while i still can, coz i know once assignments start, i'd have no time to go out at all d.

its only the first week, but we have to rush through the assignment d.

.
.
.
.
.
.
.

so i guess thats about it lar.

just some updates only lar.

thought i'd share it wit u.

*^_^*



gotta go.

dead tired.

adios.

the main entrance
a mansion somewhere in pj. u might have noticed it along federal highway.

they are my parents old friends. i guess they knew each other since before i was born.










ok.

back to the story.




upon entering the compound, i felt like a princess going back to my castle~~

ahhh~~

how i wish...


the side entrance
if you look closely enough, you can see my mom near the door.


the dining area


the garden and pool
such a simple private pool, but they have only swam once so far. kinda wasted rite~



before ciaoing



finally ciaoing. so berat hati~



i have a few other photos but i am not going to publish them coz wana maintain people's privacy mar~




its my first time there since they shifted to that house.

whoa my goodness, you wouldnt believe it.

at the hall, there is 3 full sets of sofas.

at the dining area, there is 2 long dining tables.

fulamak~~



i dont know about the rooms and the bathrooms, coz i didnt go survey the whole house la.

paiseh mar~




veekin, you better study hard from now onwards!!


~~~~~~~

so after leaving my castle, i went to mid valley with my mom coz we havent finished shopping yet. we went to meet veekin there. my dad didnt join us coz he went to fix my car. haih~

we went to get movie tickets when we reached. it was 12.30pm and our movie was 4.30pm.

in the mean time, we went to get my stuff.

i bought a bag and a pair of shoes for uni.

lovies lovies!!



then we wanted to grab something to eat, so we went to buy the 'purple cane tea eggs'. 3 of us, so 3 eggs.

afterwards, we went to get dunkin doughnuts. hehe~

we almost fell asleep at one point coz we were so tired of walking.

finally 4.30pm came and we went to catch our movie.

a must say about 'mar-shay'

sunday came, and my brother had to go back to penang d.

woke up early in the morning and sent him to the bus station as usual and went to church. unfortunately, upon arriving at sfx church, the mass was almost ending d. so we left and went to my aunt's house in ss2. we lepak there abit, had breakfast, then i read some gossip mags.





bout 11.30am, we went to the curve, along with my 2 aunts.

i need shoes and a bag for uni. so we went to look around for my shoe and bag.

within half an hour, i bought a pair of sandles.

i was so close to buying a fila bag. its new arrival, but already the last bag. obviously i decided to buy it. but after checking here and there, i saw a hole in the lining of the bag. dem disappointed. but nvm. so din buy.





after tat we got hungry, and went to look for food.

along the way to the western courtyard, i saw this...


there were some people playing some congkak, and they were teaching some shoppers how to play too. kinda cool eh. been some time since i played congkak.

so we walked and walked, and decided to dine at...

marche (mar-shay)


the swiss cow




there were several themes in the restaurant. and the inside was REALY huuuuuge!


locanda

some safari theme
can u see the monkey hanging? one of the different themes in the restaurant.





upon entering, each person will receive a passport. that's where you will need to stamp the back of ur passport each time u order something.


the passport




<----------- the front























the back ----------->

















at the table, there was a stand to indicate if the table is vacant, occupied, or reserved.


vacant


occupied





the whole place is kinda like a market place coz there were different kinds of food served.


the walkway direction to certain stations in marche.


the pasta station


the salad bar


the bakery


the rosti stall


the vegetable market
so beautifully displayed, wana eat oso tak sampai hati.


the homemade pizza station


the fruit juice station


the coffee and tea station

the bar




and of cos, the toilet.


the outside


female washroom


male washroom

the inside is nothing, really. simple, clean, and neat.





so i had chicken spaghetti with cream sauce. purrfect~ meow~

damn good.

but the portion was really small for the price.

seriously.





so how would i rate that place?

ok.

(10 being the best, 1 being the worst)
  • Wait time to be served - 8/10 (they prepare the food in front of you, and they serve fast)

  • Food Quality and Presentation - 8/10 (typical western food decoration thingy)

  • Service - 7/10 (the people are ok. some are frenly)

  • Restroom Cleanliness - 9/10 (simple concept with little decorations, and really clean)

  • Atmosphere - 10/10 (warm and cosy, perfect place to chill out with frens and family)

  • Overall Impression - 7/10 (nice place, and something different from our typical restaurants: dont the pics tell?)

  • Price - 3/10 (suggestion: go with ur parents. coz if u are going to fork out ur own money for ur own meal, im sure u will feel the pinch)
  • Return Visit? 5/10 (probably/probably not. depends on who's going to take me there =P)



marche uses pure fruits without water for their fruit juice, and the fruits were kind enough to digest my spaghetti so quickly which made me go to the toilet.

its a good thing, coz i hardly eat fruits. so i'd opt to go for fruit juices if i go out for drinks.





after eating, we went back to shop.

then my mom and aunt went to the travel agency at ikano while my dad and i waited for her at borders.





when she came back, we went straight home coz we still had to go to church.

we were late for church in the morning, remember?

after church, we went to ioi and lepak.

supposed to watch movie wit my parents, but it was not sscreening there anymore.

then we went home and had dinner pulak.





today i din get to see tat stupiak fella.

haih...

miss the fella like crazy lar~

hopefully can see him tomoro ler.

happy birthday, my man~

it was my dad's birthday.

we had a small celebration among us, my family members.

my brother was back from penang for the raya holidays too.

so since its a simple celebration, my mom baked a simple cake.


dad's cake.
10 years old. -.-" not enough candles.



see the smile on his face?
he sure is happy to be 10 years old again.
*^_^*


mom feeding dad the first piece of cake.



veekin was there too. =P



he was over for the night. after eating the cake, we played scrabble.

OMG~

i was so freaking tired but i waited till we finished the game.
