My Weekend

This weekend has turned out to be fairly relaxing.. managed to sleep a lot and even take naps which are really such a luxury these days. As always, I have been very optimistic on how 'hardworking' I would be during weekend and I have planned for myself to read 4 documents and write 4 proposals. I mean not only write but complete, and these are current still a piece of white paper. HA HA HA...

Ok.. so at the end, I read ZERO documents and wrote ZERO proposals. However, I had a good weekend which I think is important. Hubby asked me yesterday that why do I get stress during weekend for not working since weekends are supposed to be your own time and hence relax and enjoy it. If you stressed about work during weekend and stressed about the same thing during weekends then might as well don't have weekends. Hmm.. very true. He always come up with the most logical and sensible theory (very annoying most of the time!!!).

So what did I do? Went to Mid Valley Megamall on both Sat and Sun. Saturday was to just window shopping whereas Sunday is to collect "Brisingr" (book 3 of Erragon series) that we have ordered last month from MPH plus some window shopping. Oh.. and baked a batch of double choc cookies and some self-invented ones. Quite chuffed about my new invention. HA HA HA...

Plus also took my new car for its first service! Departed with RM175... sob... need my next salary soon!

Oh, on Sat we actually went all the way to Pelita near KLCC for breakfast. I still think this serves the best Tosai (Dhosai).. which is my all time favourite!

My breakfast

Lunch today was at this Chinese restaurant (non-Halal) that we have always passed by when we walk-a-bout at The Gardens and has always wondered about its food. Hence today we finally went in. Our verdict? I think Dragon-i is better and the food served is similar in terms of style. Oh.. by the way, their wet towel is charged at RM1 per towel and the starter veg is at RM2. Feel like cheated as they served you without asking whether you want or not but they charged you for it. It will be much better if they build these costs into their service charge right?!

Wet towel cost RM1.

This is the started veg cost RM2!

Also, we come across some really interesting designed restaurant at the top floor of The Gardens. I have never walked to the top floor. Normally we parked at the Gardens' parking and walked to Mid Valley.. but since we did this on Sat, hence today we were mainly walking around Gardens. Plus hubby was looking for Borders. The feeling Borders gave me is the same as Starbucks. Ok, you must be wondering what is the connection. Hee.. I just read TTB's blog about going to Starbucks in HK.. well, a lot of times we went back to the same restaurant or same 'hang-out' place might not necessary for its food or coffee.. but its environment and the familiarity. Hubby and I always go to Borders on Sunday when we were in UK, then we will buy a book or two and spent some time in Starbucks. Yeap.. we bought a lot of books. For some reasons, books seems more affordable in UK.. hee.. i guess it is because most books here are imported (or i shall say all the books that we would like to read). So today as we walked into Borders, the familiar surrounding actually hit me like a tidal wave.. it also brought some home-sickness. If you haven't noticed, all Borders are decorated exactly the same... all shelves units are light wood, with black sign boards and white text. The entrance will always have some bargain books on a table-like display shelve, then there will be a shelve with 'recent published books' too. Been to Borders in USA and Singapore and yes.. all the same... Similarly, all Starbucks outlets are the same (even in Japan). One thing for sure, there won't be any nasty surprises when we visit familiar places. Perhaps this is the secret to their success... anyway, to end this blog.. will show you some pics i snapped at the Gardens. Have a good week ahead!!!
