Today's Happenings

Choo woke me up at 8a.m. so that we can go to town early since we have a full day ahead of us.


She decided to take me to the coffee shop opposite UiTM where she works.


The coffee shop was full when we arrived and one person who was waiting for a table available is her church member. When a table of people left, she suggested to her church member to sit down first but he told us to sit cos he was waiting for some people to arrive.


Choo knows all the workers in the coffee shop.


She had the 'Ko Lo Mee' with the following.


I had Prawn Noodles. This can be one of the best noodles I had up to this point. The soup was extremely concentrated, oozing with cholesterol. Everything in it tasted fresh.

With our tummy full, it was time to go shopping again. This time we started with the few boutiques around the coffee shop. Eventhough there were a lot of sales, I did not find anything I like except some dry flowers from a gift shop.


At the second shop we went to, I saw the worker came out from the toilet and so I asked her whether I can use the toilet. She allowed me and when I went inside the quite a big toilet, I saw the walls were stuck with so many stickers. I could not resist not taking photos of them.


In the last shop we went in this area, Choo requested me to try on one of the dresses. As I was trying on the dress, some of the stick ons on the dress began to fall off. I had to pick them up from the floor and put them inside my handbag. How can a customer buy such a dress when things are falling off from it?


After this we went to town to see Choo’s tailor. She bought two pants for me in KL and they need to be altered before I could wear them.


We went to a lot of clothes and shoes shop but we did not manage to buy anything.


By 2p.m. I was feeling famished and we went to the chicken rice shop that Choo usually goes to.


For Tawau’s standard I think the chicken rice is pretty good.


As we were finishing our lunch, we saw that the people operating the shop were having KFC for lunch. What an irony!


The owner of the shop paid for our drinks since Choo knows him and we paid him for the chicken rice.


Then it was time to go to another clothes shop. This time I found something to wear at home for just RM2 each and I bought two of them. I also bought three T-shirts at RM5 each, so altogether RM19 for 5 pieces of clothings. Gotta be the cheapest I ever bought.


I looked at the clock and the time was 3p.m. I told Choo we had to get out from that place since we had decided the night before to watch a movie. I quickly paid and Choo told the salesgirl to reserve some clothes for her.


Luckily the cinema is not far from where we were. Tickets are sold at RM10 each. (Oops that reminds me I forgot to pay Choo back the RM10. Gotta remember to pay her back)


We waited for ten minutes before the previews came on.


The more than 2.5 hours of 2012 movie put us on the edge of our seats created by the special effects telling of the coming of the end of the world. What I can conclude from the movie is that Life is unfair, which in the true sense it is. I do not want to spoil anything for anyone. It is a movie that some will like and some will dislike.


We went to this restaurant for dinner after the first one on the same row did not have mud crabs and a kind of shell that Choo wanna eat.


We sat next to a table of Europeans who were enjoying their food.


This was the first time Choo had these shells. I thought she would have eaten them before. I had more than half of them.


I had more than half of the veges as well, which were slightly overcooked.


This Wet Butter Crabs were over-fried and the sauce was definitely out but I still finished them all except for the top part of the crabs which I never like.


We had this for dessert. Thank you Choo for dinner.


Then we stopped by Eastern Plaza which is connected to Promenade Hotel.

Choo wanna get the cheesecakes at Promenade Hotel at 30% discount but the one she wanted was sold out.


Inside Servay Hypermarket I saw some sweaters selling at half price. And I found one black one which is not too thick or thin but just enough to provide warmth for less than RM20. My mission had accomplished and Choo does not have to keep an eye for me on the one at Milimewa anymore.

We went home and I took a shower before finishing eating the rambutans.
