An escapade..

It all began with the 10a.m-to-8p.m power cut-off on Sunday. Basically, I was the mastermind. Given that I was indebted to Nieza for her generosity, I decided to invite her for a humble meal. Nana and Hai later told Nieza that they were interested to join our little escapade. Since I have promised Robin that I would be accompanying him to break away from UKM, I extended an invitation to him too. I have another two names in my mind but well, obviously, the car would be able to accommodate only five people the most. Sap finally made his way in because Hai changed her mind at the last minute due to her poor health.
After a little discussion, we decided on Mid Valley to spend our day at. Our trip started as early as 1005, five minutes ofter the power supply broke off. After sending Nieza and Nana's joint-laundry, Nana treated us over a delicious mamak delight. Thanks, Na!!!! It was one of the most outstanding breakfast that I have ever enjoyed right here in UKM.
At the speed of 60-70 km/h, we elegantly arrived at our destination within an hour. We rushed upstairs for the movie tickets after patiently waiting for a car to empty a parking lot. Innitially, we planned to watch 'Alice in the Wonderland' but the tickets were sold out. The one that was available would be at 11pm. With Sap's friend courtesy who was coincidently queeing up earlier than us, we managed to get ourselves 5 tickets for 'Book of Eli' instead.
It was only 1 o'clock and we had like 3 hours before the movie started. Though our stomachs were cramped with the breakfast, we decided to stroll along the ground floor to look for an afforable eating place. Conidering that I have three mouths to feed, (Nieza's, Robin's and mine), Chillis would be killing. Kenny Rogers? Dominos? Hmmm.. Our feet later brought us to Jonker Street where we found this reasonable stall serving crunchy chicken and another nearby stall serving cendol. It was Nana's, Nieza's and Sap's first time. Robin and I introduced them to No.1 Best Seller Lunch Box, XXXL Chicken, oyster mee sua and cendol durian. Glad that they found the food lovely.
After satisfying our tummies, we made a move to The Garden right after Nana was done praying. We went in and out from one shop to another, entertaining our eager eyes with the latest and trendiest gadgets in town. We even spent nearly 15 minutes sitting comfortably in the middle of Borders pretending that we were reading books when we were actually waiting for Robin with his business in the washroom. LOL..
It was 45 minutes before the movie started. Everyone looked a bit dead-beat so we take a short break at McD. Feeling guilty from not buying anything, we decided to buy some snacks at GSC instead. That was when Sap's eyes were glued at a man whom he claimed was Alex Wong. Hahahaha.. It was Alex Yong, Malaysia's very own F1 racer. Thought of taking a photo with him but he seemed occupied. We gave it a clever thought that we would not intrude his private moment with his loved ones.
About 2 hours later, we were done with "Book of Eli.' Others found it a bit boring but I found the movie intriguing. Next, we would either go back or stay for a while. Earlier on, Nieza, Nana and I have wanted to throw Sap a little birthday surprise. So, we informed Robin of the plan and he had nothing against it. That brought us to Secret Recipe though formerly, we decided to spend the rest of the night celebrating Sap's 24th birthday at Coffee Beans.
Robin and I came to a decision to enjoy our Japanese cuisine at Secret Recipe that we bought from Jusco. Actually, we were afraid that we were not allowed to bring any outside food. But, we managed to finish everything happily.
Anyway, Sapri, I hope you enjoyed every moment we spent at Mid Valley yesterday. Wishing you a very happy and blessed 24th birthday! Be a man! To the rest, Nana, Nieza and Bin Bin, it would be my immense pleasure to hang out with you guys again. Night!!
