Easy like Sunday Afternoon

Perfect afternoon. After a hefty lunch, the kids got their iPads out, I got to browse some gadgets and Puan Anita was having a field day at Living Quarters. Her mission; to decorate the toilets at the apartment. All five of them. Wish me luck!

At least the boys were behaving themselves. Both of them were playing Puss in Boots Fruit Ninja. Mighty cute!

Bagpipes at The Curve

The last time I checked, bagpipes were a Scottish tradition. So, I was rather confused when last weekend, while the place was abuzz with St Patrick's Day - just another excuse for people getting drunk - The Curve had a group of bagpipers playing at the main walkway. Quite interesting.

They appeared to be a school ban and they were still playing when we left just before 10 pm last Friday evening. The fun thing was, try were playing contemporary music, from Lady Gaga, to Coldplay. Great stuff!

Friday Night Outing

As usual, we would have an outing on Friday night. Even though I have to work tomorrow. But at least, I won't be on call.

We headed to The Curve, and the place was crowded despite there being a light drizzle outside. It ha been raining in the late afternoon, but that didn't deter people coming in.

A quick drive while they were thereWhere to have dinner? Irfan wanted Bubba Gump. Idlan wanted Marche. Mum and Dad wanted Apartments. Irfan won. And Bubba Gump was right crowded tonight with a couple of parties going on.

We shall have the customary stroll after dinner. Maybe a quick walk into IKEA perhaps. The boys wont be impressed. As for now, it was time to watch Forrest Gump on the television. That's all they showed in here.

IKEA at Night

I never realized that IKEA was opened until 11 pm during weekends. we found out about it last night when we took a late stroll around The Curve. On the way out Puan Anita decided to see if they were still opened and they were.

We did not do any shopping though as we could imagine the queue would be long that late. The boys were getting tired as well. Anita wanted to see if there were any new furnitures as we would be on a hunt for the new apartment we were planning to move into next month.

Even at this hour, the place was still packed. The cafe was still filled up with shoppers. And this was at the start of the long Chinese New Year weekend. Imagine if it was a normal weekend when all the city dwellers were around. I can imagine it would be a hassle getting things done at that hour.

We had problem heading back to the car park though. At 10 pm sharp, the underground walkway from Ikano to The Curve we're closed. We had to go up the ground level and cross the road. Walk into the mall at the main entrance and make our way down to the car park via the mall. A bit if a hassle if you were carrying your shopping .....

The Curve CNY Decorations

After a full week at work - having to be on call on New Year Day as well as Wednesday, I took the boys out for dinner last night. Destination was The Curve. It had been a while since we were there.

We used to go there rather a lot to eat at Marche. However, since their pizza had turned lousy, we prefer dinner at some other places. Last night it was Bubba Gump. Irfan is a fan of their hot dog.

The Chinese New Year decorations were already up at the main foyer. It was not much there but the lighting at the central walkway where they usually have weekend market was rather nice. It was similar to the lighting at i-City. Very chic. It was crowded even past 9 pm. We had a nice stroll. The boys got some toys from Toys'r'Us. Mum did some window shopping. And I was too tired to do anything much.

The Ikano Power Center just across the road

I was fast asleep as soon as we reached home.
