Shopping Raya???

Next week is already the hari raya. So soon!!! Rasa macam baru jer last week start puasa. I believe, we are having a tight schedule.

We had a chance to go for shopping last week. Last minutes decison, we went to Mid Valley. it was damm jammed. Teruk sangat... But, we were lucky sebab quite easy to get the parking. Rezeki...

The first thing we did when we reached Mid Valley was getting the number of Boulavard Hotel & Cititel Hotel from the information counter. After that, I straight away called them to ask about the buka puasa. Actually, we reached Mid Valley pun dah pukul 3pm. Guess what??? Cititell, full. Boulavard - only smoking area available. We were not comfortable with the smoking area since we brought Alam together. So, we decided to find other fine & dine place for our buka puasa.

We shortlisted a few places (definately we choose fine dine places since Alam was with us; no need to Q to buy food, no need to carik tempat, etc). Little Penang Cafe, Amarin Thai & Madam Kwan. After all, we went to Madam Kwan and made a reservation.

Nothing much we bought. Too crowded!!! I could not take it!!! Sakit jiwa. Just imagine, I spent almost half an hour to Q to withdraw money from the ATM @ the centrecourt. Lucky I left the kids with Azimin dekat Toys'r'us. Jusco & Metrojaya, langsung tak boleh masuk. Dari entrance, nampak orang jer, barang tak nampak langsung. Can you imagine how the Q @ the cashier will be?

At last, we just went in to the small small shop ajer. Anggun sibuk nak beli toys kat Toys'r'us and Alam pun sibuk tunjuk-tunjuk the baby toys. Kopak lagi... Depa dua orang nie macam tahu aku baru dapat gaji!!! Passed by MNG and sempat jugak belek2 jeans. Actually, dah nak beli since the last mega sales lagi but then, biasa la aku nie. Tunggulah, nantilah... Since it was a good offer, I just grab it. Azimin suruh ambik ajer sebab dia dah tak tahan tengok aku berulang-ulang masuk MNG (at the different places, KLCC, Isetan, Mid Valley, etc).

We went to take a rest dekat.... Teka kat mana? Hahahaha... Dekat Jucso punya Baby Room. Baby room dia siap ada baby coat, sofa, etc. So, we all duduk dalam that room, baringkan Alam, tukar apa yang patut... Azimin sempat lelap sekejap... Almost 45 minutes if I not mistaken. Penat... Penat tengok orang ramai...

Then, Anggun kata dia haus pulak. Sudah, kat mana nak minum? I dont know how but then, Azimin & me do suggested the same place at the same time. MPH Book Cafe. We went there and Anggun mintak Esprit punya air... Sabar jer la budak bertuah nie... Sambil Anggun minum, both Azimin & me did some reading. Lepas dia habis minum, we went around MPH, looking for some books. Azimin spent his time dekat magazine corner and dekat Architecture punya books. Me? Pusing and pusing dengan stroller Alam, I ended up buying a few novels. Azimin looked at me with... Mesti dia kata, rasanya ada a few plastic yang belum bukak pun kat rumah... Yes, sometimes I forgot either that novel dah beli ker belum. And once, i bought the same novels for twice.

Bukan apa, selalunya aku beli to get inspiration & ideas to finish up my current projects. A few projects pending; tourism books, kids book and the novels. Azimin punya SOHO books (Small Offices, Home Offices) just went through a few editing processes. Since we already add in 'publication' as one of the Archiforce Invent scope, senanglah sikit kerjanya. ISBN can be obtained from our printer partner.

Sharp 6.30pm, we went to Madam Kwan. Lucky they allocated us at the corner. Senang sikit nak letal stroller Alam (That's one of the reasons why we dont like bulky stroller). I ordered Nasi Bojuri, Azimin pulak makan lamb chop, and we did order ice-cream for dessert. then, Anggun pulak nak ABC. It was a plesent place with a very helpful and friendly staff!!! Seriously, the staff do take care of Alam so much. Alam got a baby plate (of course yang kosong) for him to play and not to disturb us. They also didnt mind to kutipkan Alam toys yang kejap-kejap dibuangnya ke lantai...

Madam Kwan full house. Kaya-kaya orang KL nie... Even, some people were 'Q'ing outside waiting for people to habis makan. The food also so good!!!! And I can say, the price was reasonable, much more cheaper compared to the hotel buffet. Lucky we were not going for the buffet. Kalau tak, just imagine how we want to take care of our Alam yang semakin lasak...

Lepas buka, we went back to ENSTEK. Memang tak boleh shopping langsung. Tak tenteram. Dengan nak monitor the kids lagi... Bila mengingatkan kisah Arwah Nurin Jazlin, gerun aku. So today, pagi-pagi lagi aku dah isi leave card. I will be on leave on 8th Oct - Monday, 11,12 and 16th Oct. My bosses tanya, why do i applied leave on Monday? My answer: "Nak pergi beli baju raya".

Another good news today, I received an email from one of the art gallery in Bangsar. The gallery is interested to have a look at Azimin's actual artwork. Actually, I did drop an email to a few art galleries yesterday. And thanks God, this gallery gave me a good response. So, we will go to see them on Monday (hari aku plan nak pergi beli baju raya!!!). At night, one more email came-in and asking us to send a full CV of Azimin. Thanks God. I hope, it will be the best birthday present for him. Dia memang dah lama wish to exhibit his artworks...

So, anybody yang ada contact dengan art gallery, tolong la promotekan Azimin's artworks. You can have a look @ his virtual gallery at http://aziminmasterpiece.blogspot.com

Ok, Selamat Bersahur
