A Satisfying Saturday

Its just past midnight and I had a great Saturday...
The day started with mum calling me, waking me up at 9am. .. my goodness.


Then after showering, my host parents came back from their morning walk with Indian breakfast.. we have this every Saturday morning - I love it, I always order Roti Canai, it only costs 90sen (which is like NZD0.40). It's soft Indian bread dipped in the two sauces in the bowls.. mm.. i can't stand the hotness of Malay food, but Indian sauce tastes so much better with its spices.

Jen-Mei, I and the parents then left for a day of shopping! They dropped us off at Sunway Pyramid Mall (where young kids hang out) and they went off to another mall nearby to do their own shopping. The mall entrance is under a plaster statue of the sphinx (mmm, doesnt look like the real one at all) and a pyramid-looking structure behind the sphinx. Here is me at the entrace of the mall, ready to do some serious shopping (ahhh.. so exciting!)



There is a ice skating rink on the lower ground floor of the mall. Quite a nice atmosphere. This is the first time seeing people wearing T-shirts skating.. it's quite warm despite being near the ice. Jei-Mei and I had a blast looking through pretty (and some NOT so pretty) clothes and accessories.. there were many stands selling cheap accessories, such as earrings/bracelets/anklets 3 for RM10 (which is NZD3.80).

I tried on over 10 dresses, most of them I cant fit into despite being labelled "FREE SIZE" which means one size for all. I felt pretty lousy after a while - feel so fat. But I finally found a simple dress I could fit into.. it's purple, halter, down to my knee, and simple... but yet pretty. It was at its original price but after just converting it over to NZ dollars I realised how cheap it still was.. haha.. SCORE!

After 6 hours of shopping we went home to drop off lots of bags and went to The Curve (another mall nearby) - it was not my idea. Jen-Mei is a shoppoholic - Im NO WAY near her standards.. haha. On Saturdays, the outdoor mall area has a Bazaar - which I think means stalls full of cheaper goods.

There were lots of people, we didnt buy much but sat to listen to a live quartet of 4 elderly man singing and playing acustic guitar/violin/double bass to old love songs.
This is a cow.. and I thought it would look funny if I pretended to milk it..

In the evening, Jei-Mei had dinner plans with her friends (all accountants), so she took me with her. We had Pasta and Pizza at an Italian restaurant.. Food was pretty good.. I was impressed. Then we went to a cafe.
Her friends were all very chatty and loud.. (if these friends read this - this comment is a complement) and made me feel very welcomed.. and a little pale (as indicated by the photos .. haha)
I had the best rum coffee with cream..
