CNY V & VI: Third Time's A Charm
Stayed at home for first half of the day. In the afternoon, I went to Sunway Pyramid yet again! Three times in a week. Yuck. While waiting for KH, we tried to shop for some 3GS covers. Quite a challenge. Although it's nearly the end of the line for iPhone4, retailers are still not relegating their 3GS merchandise to the bargain bin. Blegh. Once KH arrived, we accompanied him for a late lunch at Kim Gary. Food and drinks weren't fantastic there. So disappointed that their "Coffee In HK Style" wasn't up to mark. No cuties either. Neither waiters nor patrons. But it was entertaining to sneak a peek at a straight couple going through their one foot high stack of 5R photographs. Some very nutty poses and the guy was semi-cute. Grat met us after he shoo-ed off the last of the visiting relatives at his house and we did some shopping. Managed to get a relatively cheap wallet from Braun Buffel for my brother's birthday. The poor fella was scouting for cheapo wallets in Jusco the other day. Visited SimonLover again too. Saved him from his boring routine. Wakaka. Dinner was at Restaurant TKS, Jalan Kuchai Lama. Ordered yee sang, clams in superior soup, house beancurd, steamed fish and stir-fried vegetables. JJ and Bunny joined us after a reportedly stressful drive from Kelana Jaya. JJ really needs smoother control of the wheel. Evann also came straight from work. Since dinner ended early, we made our way to K3K Benta Kaya for drinks. SK was tempted to enroll Evann into the Dear program, but it was hit by fierce objections! Perhaps next time, Snow White!
The next day, I started work. Supposedly one of the better days for Monkeys to step into the office. Was in no mood to work at all. Gathered several colleagues to start a gambling session since the bosses were away. Some played cards while I played a more primitive game. Ever notice that in period dramas, gamblers will grab a handful of pebbles and slowly pick off the stones with a bamboo stick? If you guess the correct balance, you win. We used coins instead of pebbles. Hehe. Also lou sang-ed again. Did it in English. Haha. In the evening, I met KH again. A farewell at The Gardens Mall. He bought a piece of cabin-sized luggage from Robinsons and then we sat down at Austin Chase Coffee. Sat in the glass room watching streams of people walk by. And I wonder whether people noticed that two guys were snuggling close to each other on the sofa. Haha. Before leaving, KH visited the money changer and got MYR5000 to deposit into his CIMB bank account (the beauty of the currency exchange rate). Friends were waiting for him at Chilli's, so SK and I volunteered to help him out. Little did we know what a mistake it was. The cash desposit machine was nuts. The line was also super long no thanks to a Myanmarese guy who had stacks and stacks of cash to deposit. Put in 50 pieces of new notes and the machine will only take three notes at most. &*&^%$#%*&()*(). Took us thirty minutes to clear the line only to find that the machine would only take MYR1400. In a huff, I deposited the remaining MYR3600 into MY account at Maybank! Thanks for the parting gift dear! See you in April!
