Before you continue on reading, I must warn you that today’s post is full of food. For someone who is supposed to be on a diet, this entry is ironic at most. Meh.

Today, Aslan and I hung out at Mid Valley Mega Mall for the whole day. The LRT is very convenient, we didn’t have to use KTM to get there. From Ampang Park Station to Bangsar Station and then either take a cab or the free shuttle service to Mid Valley.

We went to three different stores to look for a baby chair my sister asked me to get and only at the fourth store, Mothercare we managed to find it. It was the last one in stock. It was larger than we thought it would be, luckily it was light enough to be carried around.

Not a lot of photos for today because we spent most of our time walking and window shopping. We also bought some fabrics for Raya at Kamdar. Believe it or not, 3 sets of fabric for just RM70+? A steal indeed!

Also checked out the Gardens next door where I bought a clock and bathrobe at Robinsons. I know, so random. We spent quite some time at Borders Bookstore. I didn’t buy anything there because I already splurge on a few books at Kinokuniya.

Since we had time to spare while waiting for Dhipa, we went to Paddington Pancake House (Or something like that). The idea of pancakes was so tempting but reality was so disappointing.

Banana and Cheese Pancake.

Seriously, I could make something way better than this crap. ^&*% Don’t know why we bother with this place at the first place.

We set a date with Dhipa at Sushi Tei at the Gardens.

With the Bernama News Anchor!

It was really lovely to catch up with her. Dhipa has done so many things since leaving Unimas and boy, I envy her for going on holiday to Paris! She’s living such an interesting life and I hope to see her again soon.

I ordered a few dishes for sharing.

Japanese Pancake

It was nice but I still prefer Minoru’s style.

Mixed vegetables

Scallops!

As for my main meal…

California Roll

Dhipa had a vegetarian fried udon.

After we said goodbye, we went on our separate ways. Aslan didn’t have any main meal at Sushi Tei because he wanted to have dinner at Dominoes Pizza.

Aslan misses Dominoes Pizza a lot.

The highlight of the Mid Valley trip? I now have my very own oriental stamp!

My stamp in process...

:D

That’s all for now!

Since we have settled what we needed to do, we are now free to do pretty much anything we want to do. We thought of going to Penang but since our hotel is all paid up for, probably next time then.

Frankly, our itinerary today was quite simple. Buy bed sheet etc and lunch at Ikea plus a little walk around at Pavilion in the evening. Before this, we always used the cab to go to Damansara and usually, expensive. Since we are on a somewhat budget holiday, we decided to use the LRT.

It took 45 minutes plus, quite a few stops but thankfully, the train was almost empty. We planned using the Ikea shuttle bus but we never saw any. We ended up using the cab from the train station to Ikea, cost around RM 6+

First thing we did upon arrival was… Eat.

Queueing up...

Aslan knew exactly what to order while I was torn between the chicken and the meatballs.

Meatballs won. Ordered the 10 pieces set because I was too hungry.

I chose meatballs because it is halal here in Malaysia.

Damn, those meatballs look good. Now I am hungry.

We walked off lunch by looking around Ikea. I wanted to buy a sofa bed for my room but since shipping cost from West Malaysia to Kuching is so expensive, I abandoned the thought.

Aslan posing with what I called my almost dream walk in closet.

In the end, I bought two towels, a set of bed sheet and some candles. I cringed when I found out the total amount at the cashier. Ringgit does make my purchase seems expensive. Meh.

Shopping was so tiring, we decided to eat yet again at the express cafe after the payment counter area. This time, we had a hotdog bun each. Tsk, tsk, tsk, my diet deity sighed.

Nom nom nom...

I also bought Ikea Recipe Book there. Just in case I fancy meatballs or any other Swedish delicacies.

We took the wrong cab on our way back to the train station. We used the executive mpv instead of the regular cab. So expensive, I felt like killing myself as the meter went over RM 20. Meh.

Look how empty the train was...

I think I've gained weight. Meh.

In the evening, we went around Pavilion. We used the LRT and Monorail to get there.

Bukit Nanas Monorail Station

Before this trip, we always stay at the Bintang Warisan Hotel at Bukit Bintang. Our reason for choosing the Doubletree by Hilton is the location. Jalan Tun Razak is not as packed nor noisy compared to Bukit Bintang area.

The first store we went into at Pavilion was Celine. I wanted to try my luck with the Boston tote. Unfortunately, Lady Luck was not on my side. There was a Boston tote in Medium Black Lambskin. It wouldn’t be so much of a problem if it was not the display model they were offering me. Meh.

Disappointed, I tried my best to cheer myself up a bit by doing some shopping at Forever 21. Found a few dresses and I can’t believe the price I paid for two items. Exorbitant. Forever 21 Singapore is a lot cheaper!

It was 930pm when Aslan told me he was hungry, so we went to TGI Friday for a late dinner. We ordered Nachos for sharing and Aslan decided to try the cheese burger.

This nacho ought to be nicknamed the disappointment. It was mediocre.

Aslan forgot how big the serving size here he did not finish his meal.

Not the best burger, don't bother trying...

What a day. My tummy is epic bulging at the moment. Meh.

Sorry for the simple post, will blog more soon!

Love,
E.
