Birthday Lunch

From my MRSM days, I have a friend who was born on the same day as I am. Each year we wished each other Happy Birthday. A couple of years back, he was taken ill but has since been making good recovery. Since it was right after Raya and I was on a long break, I asked if we could out for lunch.

I also had a friend coming back for a short break from New York, and invited him to join with our parents. Unfortunately my "twin" couldn't make it, but we had a fabulous time with my other friend none the less.

The venue was one of our favourite joint, a Arab restaurant - Al-Halabi - at Pavilon. I thought I eat too much there and spent the afternoon sleeping .... Might as well as the EURO 2016 Final would be later on that night .....

Will be planning another lunch next year hopefully and this time I would make sure that he can join ....

Across to Pavilion

Going across to Pavilion in front of Sephora - Spherical Image - RICOH THETA

After I was done with Fahrenheit, I decided to return to my car at Pavilion and dump my stuffs. I could then take more photos inside Pavilion after that. This snap was taken while waiting for the lights to turn, right in front of the flagship Sephora store. 

As you can see, everybody was staring at me when I lifted the Theta on top of my head and clicked the shutter. They must have thought that I was from the future!

Them Easter Eggs

Not that many lying around this year. And the only eggs I saw on display for this season were at Pavilion. Even there, there weren't that many. It was just that I got used to see them around during my time in England, and with the eggs came the beginning of warmer weather and opening of the public parks, which then translated to being able to dust out my camera to take pictures of the spring blooms.

There were plenty of bunnies at Tokyo Street upstairs

There were no such seasons back home, but still it made me want to pick up my camera ...

Flowers for Mothers

Mother's Day was fast approaching and my boys had been asking me what I would get for Puan Anita. Well, she is their mother, so the idea must come from them. Still no news.

The Bukit Bintang entrance at Pavilion though had some really nice fake tulips on display. Not sure if they were a start for something more spectacular. Would have to wait and watch. Could do with many more of them ....

Sunday Afternoon

After a hectic week, Sunday could not come much sooner, and surprisingly, I had some time to enjoy for myself. I had been a chauffeur for Anita earlier in the day, driving her for her college meet-up in Cheras. Had lunch there after doing my ward round, and by 3pm, things were already sorted for the day.

So, Anita and I went to Bukit Bintang, and more specifically Pavilion.

There were a couple of arts event happening in KL last weekend. One was at KLPAC, The Inaugural Sime Darby Arts Festival. I wanted to go there but the combination of bad weather and bad timing just made that trip difficult. So, I went to the alternative - KakiSeni Arts Festival held at Pavilion. The Kakiseni event ran until Malaysia Day, so I could've catch up with that later in the week. Shame that the KLPAC event only lasted the weekend. That actually looked much more interesting to be quite honest.

But, able to go to one was better than nothing. I couldn't hang around for too long though as my in-laws would be out for dinner and somebody needed to stay home with the boys. I preferred an early night as well since United was playing later that night and I would be on call the next day.

So, I managed to catch a couple of performance. The problem was space at Pavilion was a premium. Getting one spot to another could be a pain since Pavilion was essentially a shopping mall. The outside terraces got crowded very quickly once an event start.

Hopefully there would be similar events organised for next year. And hopefully it was on separate weekends ....
