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!

Pavilion Again

Idlan has his Quran class today, so I returned to Gombak for Iftar today to join the rest of the family. As I was on call yesterday and due to lack of sleep, I ended up sleeping in front of the TV as soon as I reached home. I was woken up in time for Maghrib, and groggily I went upstairs for food. It was one of those meal where you couldn't remember exactly what you've eaten. I was better after the shower.

So, on the way back to the apartment, we decided to take a tour to Pavilion as I had to settle my credit card bills. Peckish since I hardly eaten during iftar, I gobbled down some sandwich, and then with the boys had a nightcap at Godiva. Nice rich, fattening chocolate!

More topping upAfter the meal, Anita did some shopping, and I was left with my camera to explore the Raya decorations around Pavilion. The theme was not very clear, but the had plenty of way - traditional Malay kite - hanging around. Plenty of stalls around the main foyer, selling cookies mainly, but nothing much else to talk about.

The main foyer seemed to have been taken over by wauA big one hanging from the ceiling

The area around Bukit Bintang and the fountain was still buzzing at that hour. There were plenty of foreigners, quite sizeable from the Middle East. And the traffic was still packed even close to 10 pm.

Late Night Take Out

On the way back to the apartment, I suddenly felt peckish, and this being Ramadhan, I thought I better get something to eat.

A quick detour to Bangsar, and the next thing I knew, I was parked in front of the 24 hour McDonald's outlet. A Fillet-o-Fish to take out then ….
