Of Crazy Friends and Food-Critic-ing

Yesterday has got to be one of the strangest - but funnest - days ever. Started the day off with lunch at Adrien's grandma's place (she makes EXCELLENT ayam masak merah, btw and Ade actually baked a pretty great chocolate cake - ALL BY HIMSELF! :D)... and lepaked there til about 4 something, taking pics and watching TV.

We were pretty bored, and kinda free too, so that led to plans to "go somewhere". Trouble is, it took us almost an hour to decide where that "somewhere" was. Haha. Anyway. We finally agreed to go to Bangsar.

Parked at Bangsar Village, took a mandatory stroll around the mall, then proceeded to shops BEHIND the mall to check things out. And BOY can Ee May and Davina shop! We went into almost every boutique we came across... But at least I have something to show for it. Got myself a bag. Haha. I KNOW I need clothes more than I do a bag but... aiya. Lazy la!

By 8, we were all REALLY hungry. Problem was, we couldn't decide where to eat. Walked around two blocks, nearly went into La Bodega... Then Ade says he knows Hartamas better. So we decided to go there instead...

But we missed the turning. And ended up on the road to Mid Valley. Which we had distinctly wanted to avoid from the get-go. Talk about sad! Anyway, since we were too hungry to wait much longer, we headed to MV instead. We THOUGHT about seeing a movie - but seeing the LINE at the cinema was more than a turn off.

Adey wanted to eat at Piccolo Mondo.. so we went there. (BTW, I hate the decor at PM MV. It's so... unconducive to cosiness.) We ordered a pizza and stuffed pasta (I can't remember what it's called.. something ripieni or something like that). The pizza was WEIRD la! The toppings were like, categorized. Two slices had ONLY olives, another two slices had ONLY chicken ham... You get the picture. But the pasta thingy was GORGEOUS! But oh-so-expensive. Sigh. But Adrien paid for it all. Yay!

Were still not all that full from PM... so we went next door to Madam Kwan's! Yep, folks! We were restaurant hopping... Like bleedin' food critics. Hehe. Anyway, we found the prices TOTALLY unreasonable to the sort of food (whaddaheck? 13.50 for a nasi lemak?!!), so we ordered just dessert. Which was bad enough. 9.60 for goreng pisang and ice cream? Hah! Small plate some more! The waiter was a little bemused with us... but I don't think he'd have been too happy when he saw the last thing we did to "make his day" (or at least Davina did)... she took out the carnation that was part of the table decor... and poured Ee May's gula melaka sauce on it!!!!!!

After leaving MV... I was still hungry. So we went to Lotus to have nasi lemak! YAY! I love food... and eating. Oh oh oh... and there was this guy in Lotus who wasn't exactly that good-looking.. but oh-so-attractive! When I met his eyes it was like *PING* WOW! And I could tell he noticed too.. Coz he was smiling at me after that. But gosh. Wow. Hot Hot Hot. (Methinks Jen would like him, too *winks*)

Anyway... Yesterday was FUN! We should do that again when we replenish our monetary supplies. Hehe.

Today, I went for karaoke with Kenny, Shih Chung and Eugene in Bangsar. Phwoar!! Fun man! Almost 4 hours of sing, sing, sing! But fuuuyoooh! I didn't know ol' Shih Chung was a rocker! Haha. And Kenny... wahlau! He can sing Mariah Carey, man! Awesome! And I was right - Eugene IS one of the hottest 30 something year old guys I know :) Haha!

Right. This one has been LOOOONNNG. So I shall stop. But thanks to all you people who've made my holiday so enjoyable! I love you guys!

Well the lady at the karaoke had a voice that could make male heads turn. No, I'm not referring to the off-tune neighbour. :p
