Sunway Pyramid 10 November 2007

Sunway Pyramid is a shopping centre located next to the Sunway Lagoon Theme Park in Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia. It has an ice skating rink.

After breakfast with Tracy‘s cousin San at one of the shoplots near Mentari Court, we walked over to Sunway Pyramid and then went our separate ways. San was in a hurry as she wanted to go to the city after window shopping in Sunway Pyramid while I was taking my sweet time.

The new wing of Sunway Pyramid opened a few months ago with anchor shops like Jusco and Giant Hypermarket. Upon arrival, I quickly checked out the toilet facilities and since it is newly opened, everything looks so new and clean.

I took some photos of Sunway Lagoon Theme Park from one of entrance of the new wing before making a few phone calls from my handphone. Talked to my former housemate and Aunty Linda in Tg. Malim.

The night before when Felix heard that Tracy and I were going to attend the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra tonight, he was interested to join us. But when I called Petronas Philharmonic Auditorium, the receptionist told me all tickets were sold out.

I went to the kitchen and clothes department of Jusco and Parkson but I didn’t manage to buy anything. I walked around for 4 hours before decided to take away some food for lunch. I wanted to go back to rest before attending the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra (MPO) tonight. Tracy sms me to say that they were major traffic jams and she was taking the longest time to get home.

(After that I remembered what my brother Jeff (he’s working at The Star) had told me the night before. He told me not to go to Kuala Lumpur during the daytime because there would be an opposition rally. So the traffic jam must be the spill over from this event)

Bought a packet with a variety of sushi rolls, nasi lemak and two teriyaki chicken wings from Jusco.

When I walked out of Sunway Pyramid, there was a slight drizzle so I waited for the rain to stop before I walked back to Tracy’s apartment.

There was major traffic jam leading to Tracy’s apartment. The stroll back took me 20mins because the road was wet and I did not want to walk too fast.

When I reached Tracy’s apartment, I told her she would have major problem driving out from her apartment because of the massive traffic jam. We decided on the next course of action to take since she had to go for music practice and that night we will be attending MPO. If she was to come back to fetch me, we would definitely be late for the event.

She decided to change into the clothes she was going to wear to attend the MPO. She would park her car at Paramount Train Station and take the train to KLCC while I will change train at KL Sentral to go to KLCC.

The sushi rolls tasted great especially with a hungry stomach. The nasi lemak even tasted better. Such a simple meal, but I haven’t found one good nasi lemak available in Kota Kinabalu yet. The teriyaki chicken wing was well marinated and tasty.

I did not manage to rest because I was checking my emails and Facebook. After I showered and changed, I left the apartment at 5p.m.
