Wangsa Walk Mall

Wangsa Walk Mall had prospered in the last couple of years from an uncertain beginning. It was opened right after another mall nearby - a Jusco - at Keramat, and initially, it was not very popular. 

But, things had picked up since, to the detriment of Jusco. In fact, in the last couple of months, a fair few restaurant at the Jusco complex had closed, in keeping with the dwindling number of shoppers. Even Justin Beiber turned up at Wangsa Walk on his last trip to KL!

Shopping at Wangsa Walk during Ramadhan proved a pain. The car park was full, and the place was packed with stalls spilling onto the corridors. Rather messy if you had to babysit a couple of disinterested children. 

The theme for the Raya decorations there was Upin & Ipin. They even made appearances today, but my boys were the least bit amused. The place was too packed for theirs and my liking. And the shopping was not really cheap there either. 

Anita and I went there for shopping the other day, and ended up going to another mall because the kids were playing up. But we might return minus the boys, if we could get there early enough on the day, before the car park being filled .....

Wangsa Walk Mall is located in Wangsa Maju, near the exit from DUKE ....

Shopping Day

So, it had been a full afternoon. After the ward round was sorted out, I took Anita to Jon my Mum and Julia, my sister at Wangsa Walk Mall for their Raya shopping. I was doing the babysitting, and the boys were creating havoc, big time.

Plenty was shopping done, and after a couple of hours, we went to another shop near my Mum's house. Being a shop, there were plenty of space for the boys to roam around. And it was air conditioned as well.

The shop was owned by a friend of Julia's, called Tasbeeh, situated right above Pegaga restaurant where we frequent. Nice selections there, and the boys seemed content, and Anita got what she wanted.

But she planned to go to Ampang Park tomorrow. With Selangor being public holiday, I would be able to baby sit them at the apartment. So, plan for tomorrow sorted out .....

Cotton Pickings

Irfan not happy to try the new clothesAnita was anxious to finish off the Raya shopping this afternoon. For the children, her favorite place to get Baju Melayu would be at Great Eastern Mall. More specifically, a shop selling mainly children clothes called Cotton Pickings. We had been going there since Idlan was a baby and every year we get the Baju Melayu from there.

I don't think that this one was for saleAnd this year's selection did not disappoint. And at a reasonable price as well. To be honest, Anita picked more than a pair for for each of the boys, some for the Quran classes according to her. If you were looking for Baju Melayu or Kurung for your children this Eid, you could do worst than give Cotton Pickings a visit. For Ramadhan, they have a stall at the main foyer at GE Mall. Failing that, the shop is located on the second floor, for more selection. Well worth a trip.

Merdeka Came Early

So, Merdeka was coming round the corner and just by the lift from my ward, I was greeted by this. A tad too early must admit.

Some good news at least. Just found that coming Monday would be a public holiday for Selangor. An unexpected day off for me. But Anita had already have some plans in store. Here one shopping I was sure.

It's Friday

First thing I did when I woke up this morning was to check the weather. Hmmm! Gloomy from the looks of things. Not really sure weather if it was an overcast day or the haze was back. None the less, it was a weather not conducive to getting out of bed and heading for work. But somebody had to do so.

Good morning to everyone! It was Friday after all, so cheer up!
