Last weekend was amazing!
Granny and Ahku (that's what I call Uncle Shelby) took a taxi to Subang around 1pm after they checked in to another hotel. It turns out that Hotel Nova was not what it seemed on the internet (it's not Novotel, they're both totally different hotels). So, we stayed in JW Marriott for the weekend! The place was just opposite Pavilion and the hotel room was SUPERB!!
Ok, back to Granny and Ahku coming to meet me first.
They were curious about how my place looked like and all that's why they came all the way to pick me up (via taxi). They did not like the jam one bit (who does?) and Granny complained that the area was very very dirty. The sidewalks and alleys are filled with rubbish and, you get the picture.. So they hung out at my apartment and waited for me to pack my things before going to Marriott.
Normal taxi rates from Subang to the city should be around RM20 plus but since it was heavy traffic hour, the taxi we stopped charged us RM35. We did not get dropped off at the hotel footsteps as the jam was terrible, TERRIBLE I say (the journey lasted an hour and we were still not there yet! Grrrrr...)! So the taxi stopped at Sungai Wang. I haven't had lunch before the ride so we three went to Kim Gary Restaurant, a Hong Kong food chain. The pork chops are very tender and yummy! If anyone goes there, order what ever on the menu that has pork chop! It's worth it! Hehe.. (^.^)
After lunch we walked back to the hotel and rested for the rest of the afternoon. I explored the tv channels, jumped on the bed (a bit.. =P) and checked out the bathroom! The bathroom had a huge mirror, bathtub and separate shower (I LOVE spacious bathrooms!!!) and the two double beds outside (I LOVE BIG BEDS!!!) had many many soft and fluffy pillows and were super comfortable! Waaaah...
Anyway, we went down for dinner around 8pm to Carlos Mexican Canteena (a mexican restaurant, d'oh) at the shopping complex just next to Pavilion. I thought that my Seafood Enchaladas would be just a little bit spicy but it was EXTREMELY SPICY, so I traded my enchaladas for Ahku's Mexican Beef Burger. Then we had dessert at BR before calling it a day! Ice cream~ Yum~
Saturday!
We had our breakfast at DOME (Egg Hollandaise and hot chocolate for me!) before we headed out to KLCC. The reason why we walked all the way there was because Ahku wanted to have lunch later at Madam Kwan's. We only discovered that there was another outlet of Madam Kwan's at Pavilion, Level 1 after checking out the back page of the menu! Ish! Granny then said that she saw it last night but I doubt it because we were on Level 3 and up and to see Madam Kwan's from where we were, you would have to have X-ray vision.. Hehe.. (^.^)
I bought a few stuff from KLCC in the afternoon:
Tada!
A few choir songs which looked good (I need a piano to try them!!)
I realized I did not have a yellow top with me (so I got one)
I thought they looked cute on my long feet. (^.^)
Granny was fine with the walking but Ahku was tired. He needed his coffee to keep him going! Haha! We went back to the hotel at around 4.30pm and had dinner a few hours later at Tony Roma's (in Pavilion). The servings were HUGE and I had to pack my Shrimp Pasta because I could only eat half! Eeep! I love it that they gave free flow of fresh fruit juices! Not many restaurants would do that because they are probably very stingy and would not earn much profit. (^.^) I took three glasses of orange juice to take advantage of that! I felt like I could explode though. Hehehe..
We had about an hour and a half left to wander around Pavilion before it closed and I managed to buy some stuff again! I don't usually buy so many things at once but Ahku said that I can get anything I saw which I liked so I did! =D
I got these:
diva, Skin Food, ESPRIT
It was on discount and Ahku's member card got it another 10% off!
I think they're sweet~
Really needed one!
It was fun hanging out with Granny and Ahku in KL for the weekend but it was a bit too short. The next day they would be leaving for Singapore by bus at 1.30pm. I wish that it could have been longer but I have exams next week!
On Sunday morning, we had our brunch at the Pavilion food court. I did not know what to eat so we just ordered our drinks first. Ahku went to get the drinks and Granny told me to have a look around first while she reserved our table. I walked towards the sign that says "Pan Mee" and "Teppanyaki" but I did not feel like eating those so I turned back.
Then I was inches away from someone so familiar. A group of six men walked past me and I stopped. I turned around to get a better look and was very surprised to see him here. Well, it is not really that unexpected but I just could not believe that I was seeing him in the flesh! There were not many people in the food court and those that saw him probably did not have the guts to walk up to him. I was almost like them, then I changed my mind and followed him.
He was walking away and out of the food court, and I as getting further and further away from Granny and Ahku, BUT I DID NOT CARE! I was thinking that I might not have the opportunity to see him face to face again and I must take this chance to say Hi and hopefully take a picture!
I was lucky. And the Malay family ahead of me were lucky too.
They took a video with him and I waited behind him. After he was done, he was walking away. I quickly caught up to him and said:
Crazy me: Tun, Tun, Tun!
(He turned around)
Crazy me: Boleh ambik gambar dengan Tun tak?
(shake hands)
Tun: Boleh lah. 10 sen satu yer? (laughing)
Crazy me: Apa la Tun ni! Jahat le.. =P
Tun: Kidding la.. Boleh. =D
So I stood next to him, held my camera phone and snapped but it was not centre.
Crazy me: It's not centre Tun. Can take again?
Then one of his bodyguards (there were five guys with him and I assumed they were bodyguards) offered to take the picture.
Tun: So where are you from?
Crazy me: I'm from Kuching.
Tun: Oooh. So you cuti-cuti here?
Crazy me: Nope. I'm studying.
Tun: Oooh. Where are you studying?
Crazy me: Taylor's College.
Tun: Very good.
SNAP!
Crazy me: Thank you Tun! Nice meeting you!
Tun: Yer.. Good luck! =D (shakes hands)
Wow! I did not expect to see Mahathir, our ex-PM in person! That was really a rare opportunity and I am glad I could get a photo of me and him! He was very nice and luckily the five bodyguards with him did not beat me up for following behind him. Haha! I quickly went to Granny and told her what happened. She was so surprised and wanted to see him but he was not there anymore. Even Ahku was envious that I got a photo with him. =P
Later, the taxi came at 12.30pm and we dropped Granny and Ahku at the bus station before I went back to my apartment. I did not study at all during the weekend but I think that I would not regret it! I hope not! I had fun in the city, got some things that I wanted and I also have a photo of Mahathir and me!
How cool is that?!
