Lunch Escapade

I decided to venture out during lunch time today. I had been starving all morning, but since the traffic coming into Subang was rather heavier than usual today, I decided to wait until lunch before I get out. I escaped early as I did not have any clinic and went over to Sunway Pyramid. The place was still empty at the time. A quick sushi then I was off. But I had some time to explore the place.

The famous skating rink at the lower ground floor.The Deepavali decorations were in full swing

There were plenty of eatery around there, and the only way to get in and out of there quickly would be to get in before noon. By the time the afternoon crowd hit the place, parking would be a nightmare.

I left the carpark - which was almost full to the brim just before 1. By the time I reached the hospital, my phone went off. There was an emergency I needed to attend. So, off I ran up the stairs, in the nick of time. I also bought a book while I was there ….. but more on that later!

Tickets for the Smurfs

Bloated from yesterday, I missed breakfast. We spent the morning in front of the television and cleaning the room. Most of our friends and relatives were still in their kampung, so we decided just to have lunch outside while having a look at how deserted KL had been.

We were quite surprised that when we approached Mid Valley, all the carpark indicated red, meaning full. We were lucky that the parking tickets were still issued as I desperately needed to get to Gardens today. The reason, tickets for tomorrow's show of the Smurf! We settled for a parking bay on level B4, right at the bottom.

There were still plenty of tickets available for the afternoon show tomorrow. After the tickets were sorted out, there was a small matter of lunch. As usual, the boys wanted pizza, and we landed at Alexis.

A pleasant lunch as the boys were treated to a nice pizza - we had to order two since they finished both. I had some cod for a change, and it was not that bad. My rocket salad was a bit dry today, the leafs were rather too bitter and hard.

Looking forward for the Smurfs tomorrow ….

1Utama Decorations

After picking up Irfan from school this afternoon - Idlan was absent today, even though the fever was now gone - we headed out to 1Utama shopping complex as Anita wanted to get some presents for a friend's birthday. I took the opportunity to look at the decorations they had there.

I only had the time to venture around the lobby at the new wing. Being Ramadhan, we decided not to be too adventurous. The main foyer was transformed into one big stage. Themewise? Hmm … on the flowery side. I can imagine it being a blossom, with the petals forming a canopy for the little stalls they had there.

The main stage

Apart from that, there were nothing spectacular - like the winter wonderland from two Christmasses ago, or the famous sawah padi in the middle of the foyer, which was a big hit last Raya. I guessed things were pretty subdued everywhere …..

For those who are curious, this is the link to last year's sawah. And the video as well.
