It’s Sis turn now…

Parents just went back to Taiping from my KL house and I’m left with again a quiet house with my pom running around. Suddenly felt so unused to the silence, they were all here for just 2 nights and it turns lonely again now. Maybe when he comes back it will be better. My dad, mom and both sisters were here for the weekend. My sis just finished here form 5 last year and was about to pursue her higher levels of studies. They came to send her off to the Kolej Matrikulasi Selangor at Banting.

I woke up at 5.30 this morning. She has to arrive by 8.30am to register herself. We would have made it on time if dad didn’t kept saying that I was using the wrong route when I was driving. I did my homework and checked beforehand the directions to Banting but I guessed my dad got the best of me and finally made a wrong turn and somehow ended back on the federal highway at the wrong direction and at the most peak of all traffic jams. He tried to ask the Traffic police but the guy answered, :’ Banting ar? Saya pun dah lupa la!’. Thanks officer for the great help!

Finally when I managed to get off the road and avoid the traffic I decided that I was right and turn back to the route that I found on Google Map and continue with it. Told you I was right dad! After an hour and half we reached the college at 10 pass 9. It was so crowded with parents and newly graduate form fives. It was located at a very rural area and the place was without much shade as it was still a new campus and trees were still ‘bare’ with leaves. She went and register and we waited outside the hall for her. When she came out it was time for us to head to the hostel. This is the part where I have been awaiting. I never been to the hostel of a public college so I wanted to know how it looks like. Lucky for my sis she was the first batch to use the rooms and everything was new but just bit dusty, some cleaning and it is good to use. We were bit late and the beds by the windows were occupied already. I went toilet visiting with her to check the cleanliness and I should say not bad, not bad at all actually.

After having lunch together with her at the flies filled cafeteria beside her hostel block we say our goodbyes and left her to the new world she is going to experience, it is still by the way a very new experience for her as to leaving home for the first time ever. I’m pretty excited for her myself, finally I have my sister closer to me and I can go out with her during the weekends if I want to as she is only an hour drive from me.

I hope she will enjoy there….

Happy always.

Bath time….

Every Sunday is the day my Tobbie take a bath. Here are some picture of her :

She looks weird when all her fur is wet. Very skinny little dog….

It’s so hard to catch hold of her, she wants to jump out of the basin.

“Don’t take my picture! This is not my best look!”

It look me almost an hour to get her bathe and dried. Hair drying her is pretty challenging.

“Leave me alone, haven’t you torture me enough???”

Hope you enjoy the cute pictures.

Happy always.

Saturdays are….

I have a pretty ‘wholesome’ Saturday yesterday. It started as I left Sunway at 11 something for brunch at Serdang. I just love the food there, its cheap, delicious and most of all Chinese. After having my favourite Tomyam me and him when to Hotel Sri Petaling to have a look at the Levi’s and Guardian warehouse sales. Not much to buy as the Levi’s stock was limited, most of it are guys jeans and underwear, lots of them I should say. As for the neighbour Guardian warehouse sales, the items are pretty weird. I didn’t know Guardian sells stationery but that is what I saw there. I bought 2 things from Guardian:

The pair of scissors above cost RM3 and Lip Ice Gloss for RM5 only. Wasted a trip for this 2 stuff, luckily the gloss was very shiny and has good lasting power :-) I totally forgot that Pudu bus stop has temporary been moved to Bukit Jalil,when I past by to get to Hotel Sri Petaling I was wondering why there was so many people with luggage then I remembered. It isn’t really a bus stop like Puduraya, just some big tents put up in a big parking lot.

After the short stop we went to the next warehouse sales—ZARA! I thought it would been a really great haul but I ended up with nothing. I’m really bad at clothing warehouse sales, I get headache watching people and clothe running around ( I mean clothes everywhere). But the items there didn’t catch my eye as the sizes don’t fit me. XS and S don’t hang well on me, usually the shoulders will tend to drop as I am very petite. Most of the clothes there are still expensive and many have tears in them.

But I didn’t left Atria Shopping Centre (place where ZARA sales is held) empty handed. As I went down the escalator I saw there is another sales at one of the stores. They have brand like Roxy, Billabong and etc. One of the dress caught my eye, a pastel coloured dress. It’s from Billabong  but not sure whether original or not as it cost only RM50. I think it would be perfect for the morning part of his sister’s wedding.

Then we headed to Ikano once done here. By the time we got there it was already 4pm. The reason we are here is to watch Iron Man 2. But the line was terribly in front of the cinema counters and by the time it was our turn the tickets were sold out. Nothing to be sad about because I bought a bag in the bazaar (Yeah me!). It cost RM20 only :

Its a combination of rotan and jeans I think…..

Then we came back home hoping to check the internet for available movie tickets. Then it was spotted that Tropicana Mall has it! We made the booking and payment ASAP and then headed to Pyramid for dinner. Had the regular Thai food and hurried to the Cinema.

Finally we are there sitting in the seats watching Iron Man 2. I thought Scarlett Johansen was hot in there. Love her body. But all in all I thought Ip Man 2 was a much meaningful movie than Iron Man.

Told you I had a ‘wholesome’ Saturday didn’t I? :-P

Happy always.
