Cuti Raya Day+4

Yes, a day late in entry after returning hone from my Mum's rather late. A nice dinner, plus badminton and football matches to boot - which United won but Chong Wei retired hurt by the way. The boys were running around all evening since their cousin were there. They had just returned from Melaka earlier in the day.

The day started off with just a relaxing morning at home. After lunch, Anita and I went over to Pavilion. From there, I went on to Low Yat. There, there was a plenty of promotion going on, the biggest one being the Xperia Ultra Z, a new phablet from Sony. A nice little HD unit with built in phone. More like the Samsung Galaxy Note. Packed with a great camera and a gorgeous screen, I really got quite interested. Since the crowd was smaller than I expect, I got plenty of hands on time on them. Responsive and fast. That was the impression I had.

Anita did some shopping as even Pavilion was rather empty. We then went to buy food for the dinner at Mum's - going all Arabic with dinner from Al Rawsha.

So, a full day it was mainly at my Mum's.

Day Full of Walking

I was just back from visiting not one, not two, but three attractions in town, all in one morning. I went with my current and previous boss, and we managed to squeeze all this in one tiring morning. We got back to the conference centre in time for lunch, and as expected, I was dozing away right after despite picking up a cup of latte coming into the hall.

I will blog a bit more about the places individually as I would have to refer to some notes as I was not familiar with their names. None the less, I took tons of photos, and those would keep me busy on the coming weeks.

I was still struggling to get hold of the local currency. I had to rely on my credit cards to make purchase and paying for taxi. But not all the shops accepted credit cards. My USD were also staying put as there were no place able to use it.

I would probably do a bit of shopping later tonight. I managed to get some titbits and souvenir, but would be looking for some clothes for the boys and something nice for Anita. That would take some time. I would likely go to one of the main shopping centres for that, maybe tomorrow. I have probably done enough walking for today .....
