Monday
It's a bliss that my class doesnt start as early as my bro's- which is on the 4th, given that my finals last year ended fairly late. However despite having the long 2 or 3 months sem break like my other friends, I only have a short 2-weeks-break to chill off and escape from the hectic lifestyle I 've been having for the last half year.
Anyhow, my holiday is fairly dull, with me killing my time with some movies, dramas, and a lil' updates on my blogshop. Other than that it was just some hang outs to those same old places.
Only a lil' special in my dull holiday is the chance to go pavilion, ( lame I know. Too bad I havent gotten the chance to go there ever since it's opened so yeah :( That's the first time I have ever been to Pavilion) Darl wanted to give me a lil' surprise on where we're heading to so he kept his mouth shut whenever I pestered him on where we're going and what we gonna do etc etc. It's kind of my usual question to ask whenever we're going any place. I'd just be so curious and don't like to have things unplanned, given that I only have limited time to spend.
So back on track, we went pavilion, and it was quite a journey from the curve to pavilion, turning here and there..Thanks to darl who doesnt mind bringing me around all the time given the restrictions I have =/
Pavilion is somehow similar to The Gardens to me, given the ambience and the interior designs. We headed straight to restaurants, hunting for lunch right after we reached there, and I picked Grandmama's since he told me that the food there's delicious. :)
Ohh I feel hungry now thinking of those deliciously mouth-watering dishes :((
It was located on the 6th floor (if my memory doesnt fail me), and was relatively quiet. It's based on an open-ended restaurant kind of style, and gives me the feeling that it's classy and hygiene. I ordered Nasi Lemak and he ordered Fried Rice with Salted Fish, and the pricing is rather worthy given that it's located in upper-class shopping mall and it's ambience and services. The food arrived rather earlier than I expected, maybe it's that we went there quite early for lunch, and there's not much customers yet.
The Nasi Lemak is rich in coconut mik, and so do the curry (I got my favourite chicken breast meat! ;P ), which is rich in santan that you can taste the texture of santan every bite you taste, utmost yummylicious! :) Too bad I didnt get to take a picture of it but oh well, I'm definitely going back there again for my delicious Nasi Lemak, whee hee! :)
I used to dine a lot at Madam Kwan (@ KLCC) last time as my dad was a big fan of its chow kuey teow, and their iced water with strawberry left me some good memories of having the luxury to go out every now and then together with my family, enjoying delicious food and hang out together.. Which things change nowadays as we don't pretty much afford the luxury again. And it's my wish to bring my whole family together back to those days where we all have not much of worries, and bring back those enjoyment once we had.
Funny huh. Even the family bonding is kind of different ever since our lifestyle changes dramatically. That's how realistic life is, and that's how the importance of having the ability to afford many things matters nowadays, given our family situation. I don't know how is it like for other families, as different family leads different lifestyle, and all I know is that, ours change. But I have the hope to bring it back to the lifestyle we once had. Just a few years is all I ever needed to give them the minimal they need, and a couple of years more to afford better lifestyle, and I really wish I could do it.
Everytime I have this wish, and ended up feeling rather helpless. Well, I guess that's how life is. When we encounter more, we feel more helpless, and yet we have to face it. Life is so, and it depends on what type of mood we use to face it. Just thew matter of :) or :( affects greatly.
Got a lil' drifted away though with the topic ;P
Anyways, after lunch I insisted on 'exploring' Pavilion as I'm new there, instead of watching new movie. Checked out on NICHII, my all-time favourite fashion store ;) Too bad they don't have kitschen, it's one of my fav store too! I got all excited when I see all the new season clothings, feeling the delicate touch of the fine materials, and indulge myself in the sea of new clothings! That's the thing that blogshops/ online purchase doesnt give, but well, both have their pros and cons, and for me, I hunt for BOTH *typical shopalic eh? x)
And the best thing is, my darl teman me shopping for clothes for the first time ever! Haha, rather funny seeing him dozing off sitting beside the models though. Guess he's just too tired having only a few hours of sleep last night and gotta teman me running around in the shopping mall ;p I appreciate that very much. He could just choose to hang out at the curve, save all the fuss of driving all the way to pavilion and fetching me back to the curve. Mind you he even has to drive all the way back to sg long. Despite his tiredness he still does all these for me *loves* hehe! :)
I wonder why I always get all emo-fied due to lil' lil' reasons, and it brings to arguments, and I guess I have to just learn to let go of certain things, and be as carefree as I could, afterall what's life about right not? There's this phase that I really like, but always striving hard to achieve it : A moment of anger or depression is a moment of happiness you could never get it back. So yeah, easy as that :)
Till then ;)
