27 December 2008

Tracy and I went to SS15 for breakfast.

I had Dry ‘Sa Ho Fun’ while Tracy had Beef Noodles.

Then we proceeded to Uptown Damansara to shop for clothes for about three hours.

At the first boutique I tried on three dresses but only liked one black dress but it was quite a low cut dress so I did not buy it right away.

At the second boutique I tried on a lot of clothes but only bought one work blouse.

At the third boutique I tried on a lot of pants but none fitted me. I bought a bottle of Schwarzkopf shampoo and got a bottle of conditioner FOC.

At the next boutique I tried on more than 10 pants and was pleasantly surprised to find that they actually fitted me. I always have problems in buying pants. i ended up buying four pants for RM100.

There was nothing that suited me at the last two boutiques.

Before we left Uptown Damansara, we went back to the first boutique. I tried on the black dress again and bought it.

We went to Taman Megah to have ‘Asam Laksa’ and after lunch went to a boutique in that area but I could not find anything I liked.

Next we went to Sunway Pyramid Shopping Centre to watch movie. The only movie I was keen to watch was Australia starring Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman. The next slot for that movie was 8.15p.m. and so we bought our tickets at RM11 each before proceeded to shop again.

I bought a black belt (which I have been searching for years), a few nice discounted blouses and two pairs of working pants at Jusco. The belt actually cost more than any of the other items.

We had Japanese food for dinner. This was the first time I had sweet sauce with the wasabi and the combination I reckon is better than wasabi with soy sauce. The price in this restaurant is cheaper than the ones in KK.

After dinner we went straight to the cinema. I enjoyed the movie Australia very much. I finally broke my own record of not watching a movie at the cinema for more than six years!

Boxing Day 2008

Tracy and I went to Jom Bali Café for brunch at Carrefour building in Subang Jaya.

I had Ipoh Chicken and Prawn ‘Sa Ho Fun’ while Tracy had Sweet & Sour Chicken Rice.

I find that the food serving in KL is quite small as compared to in KK.

The noodles tasted ok but not the best I had tasted. When I finished eating I did not feel full.

Outside Carrefour building some Thais were selling clothes. I bought a very comfortable baggy casual black pants and a black tube without trying on them.

At Parkson Subang Parade I bought two work blouses at half price from the Classic Profile range. While trying on those blouses I also tried on the clothes I bought from the Thai and they fitted me just fine.

At F.O.S I bought four work blouses and a pair of casual black pants.

At a boutique I bought a black lace short sleeve cardigan and a work blouse.

As we were on the way back to the carpark, we passed by a gift store and I bought some gifts from there as well.

After going home to shower, we left for Canon Fred David’s house at Taman Kawasari. Met some new friends and had Indian food such as Mutton Curry, Chicken Curry, Meatballs, Mixed Veges, Cabbages, etc for dinner.

We chit-chatted until 11p.m. and left for Tesco Puchong where we shopped for more than one hour and arrived home at almost 1a.m.

Christmas 2008

Tracy and I did not attend any Christmas service because her church Bethel Centre only had service on Christmas Eve.

We went to her friends’ (Lily and Sharon) open house and had Indian food for brunch. While eating her friends were still cooking while we enjoyed the food and watched an Indian ghost movie.

After that we went to 1 Utama (1U) Shopping Centre but Tracy parked her car at One World Hotel.

We could only shop for clothes at Jusco, 1U. I bought a few blouses and a pair of black shoes.

We met up Jeff at Dragon-I for hairy crab dinner. The restaurant was bustling with sight, smell and sound.

I realised the spotlight was directly on me and started to have the most severe migraine in my entire life. I told the waiter to dim the spotlight. He did not say anything. After a while, upon realising nothing was being done, I told the waitress but she said nothing could be done because the spotlight is not an invidual one but under a centralised system and therefore could not be switched off.

I continued trying to enjoy the food but when the migraine became unbearable, I told Jeff and Tracy I had to go out to rest. I went straight to the loo and started to vomit. I felt a bit better after that. Then I sat on the bench outside Dragon-I when I felt that I needed to vomit again. But this time when I went into the loo, there was a long queue and so I went back to sit on the bench.

After what seemed like eternity but was only less than half an hour, Jeff and Tracy came out with Jeff holding some of takeaway of the food that I did not manage to savour.

I felt another urge to vomit again after Tracy came out from the loo and told me that there was no more queue. This time round I vomited a lot and felt much better.

I could walk to the carpark and Tracy drove Jeff home. I vomited another three or four times inside the car. When we got back to Tracy’s place, I went straight to bed without taking a shower.

What a memorable Christmas for me.
