Penang Posse

Saturday marketing was the usual hop, shop and go. Even went to the smaller market at Jalan Hujan Emas 8 because mum's old neighbour wanted her to alter some clothes. Also bumped into another friend of her's:

Moi: Hi Aunty. We saw you at Floria the other night.

Aunty: Ooo... you guys also went. Such a good boy, always accompany your mum and bring her out to places.

(turning to her friend)

Aunty: Got any daughters to introduce to him ah?

Moi: Hot gay sons perhaps?

Had breakfast there as well. Noticed that the market-goers there were in an older age group. Old ladies bent over, shuffling and with walkers wasn't an uncommon sight. Guess since the market's smack dab in a residential area, non-mobile older people can just walk out and grab what they need instead of relying on their children. Overheard while tucking into my soup noodles:

"Haiyah, if wait for my children to buy me breakfast ah... die already lo! Sleep until dunno what time also not wake up!"

Settled everything and got home. Showered and went out with SK to meet Pooh, ZaiZai, CalvinJ, Jo Tetek and Ichimaru at The Gardens. On the way there, we managed to pick KH up as the timing was right. The first thing we did was visit the Digi Customer Service Center for KH to get his Samsung Galaxy SIII. The whole process took roughly an hour and we were serviced by a twinky member of the staff. By the time we got to Din Tai Fung, it was already 3:00pm. Late as we were, the gang had just started eating. The waiters screwed up their orders and sent their food to another table whose occupants happily gobbled it all down. Chaotic. Thanks to their complaints, our orders came nearly instantaneously. Huhu. Was good to meet the gang again. And it was my first time meeting CalvinJ. Wasn't sure who he was until after the gathering. Loads of people were waiting outside, so we made a move. Planned to eat at Snowflake but that was scuttled by the lack of seats. Stopped at another shop, but their ice machine broke down. Since KH had to get home by 6:00pm, we withdrew from the dessert fiasco and said goodbye.



Needed to make one last stop at the Citibank kiosk to get a free golf umbrella from KH's large purchase at DiGi. It was fun having KH's arm on me as we roamed the mall looking for the elusive kiosk. I had a dumb, blissful (and hiao) smile plastered on my face and I think several PLUs who crossed our paths also noticed it. We moved from The Gardens to Midvalley and back. Apparently KH had misread the SMS on the location. I chided him:

KH: Aiyah, it's at MV la, not The Gardens. Salah tengok.

Moi: Couldn't you have said something romantic like: "I did it on purpose because I want spend more time with you..."

KH: Errr...

And so after collecting the umbrella, we made our way back. We bumped into a young father twice. Both situations were at the escalator, and we would be on opposite side. The fella was busy lugging bags of diapers.

Moi: Dear, did you notice that guy? This is the second time we crossed paths.

KH: No, I did not notice. I only have eyes for you...

Moi: Amboi! You learn fast!

Dropped off KH at home and I went to swim. For dinner, mum had purchased loads of buka puasa stuff - nasi dagang, ayam masak merah, ikan keli, onde-onde, bingka, kuih talam, etc. Physical activity negated again. T_T.
