Aug 19 - Shopping in KL

After checked out from hotel, we headed for the Asia Jaya's LRT station. Meow's sis came to pick us up. She just came out from French class. She's staying with her French fiance in a nice condo in Bangsar. Meow went for a swim, while I stayed inside reading on an interesting book about understanding body language. The fiance's parents from France were there too. But I don't speak French and neither do they speak English, so after a couple of nods and smile, they were glued to the TV set while I browse through the pages. Meow's sis was busy in the kitchen preparing lunch.

After a while, I went to look for Meow, bringing along peanuts we bought last night. In between paragraphs...I threw nuts to Meow who was in the pool, trying to imitate the actions of seal...sometimes barking when I forgot to 'feed' him. At the side, there's a small girl, around 5 - 6 yrs old....learning to swim. She has a special instructor to teach her. Too bad the guy is no where near Baywatch guys.

By 2.30pm, we had lunch. I must admit his sis is real good at cooking. Meow got to enjoy his fav. vege - celery. She is quite creative, her cooking is a bit mixed. She had tuna fried with celery. And another dish...mashed potato at the base, seasoned dark sauce beef on top. The 'kam heong' chicken very yummy...so was the 'lobak soup'.

His sis offered to lend us her car but Meow wasn't too happy about driving around KL. She drew map...but honestly, I dun really know how to read her map...lucky thing I brought along a printed map downloaded from Internet. Meow looked gloomy...I think he still beh shiok about driving and stuck in the jam. We went to Petaling Street and walked to Jln Sultan to find the shop which sells lotsa beads and stuff. Meow waited patiently for me while I chose the stuff I wanted. If only there's one shop in Pg. The variety....punya banyak....I wished I had brought more cash then. Too bad they don't accept credit card. After spending around RM 150.00, I started looking for Meow....called his hp...turned around, he was just behind me. We just passed thru Petaling Street, nothing that caught our eyes, some more, it was hot. We decided to head back to the car as we were not sure which direction to walk to any nearby shopping complexes.

Initally we wanted to go Sg. Wang Plaza or Lot 10, but somehow we missed the turning....what the heck...Times Square would do then. We wanted to walk over to opposite direction, to Sg. Wang...I think....but too bad it started drizzling...so we ended up having drinks at Dome in Berjaya Times Square. I must admit, MidValley Megamall is more interesting to shop. We walked around....I bought a pair of walking shoes. We had Japanese food for dinner. Dunno how we ended up in a feng shui shop....got him a dzi beads bracelets with tiger eye....and I got myself a bracelet too...for career.

Ok, now come the tough part again...going home...we missed some turnings....but managed to find the way back after 2 or 3 times. I guess next time we will just take the cab. His sis greeted us at the door, she just showered and about to sleep....what ? 10.30pm only wor ? KL ppl sleep so early meh?
