it all started with Friday

Had an eventful weekend. It all started with the visit to Petaling St..


Was sittin in a discussion at 5pm, and it was still raining.. sigh. pouring like mad actually..there goes our plan.. what a way to end a working week.

The plan was to head to Chinatown, well Petaling St to be exact.. wanted to bring Soon Young there for a taste of local food and some shopping.

Finally the rain stopped at 6pm, we hopped on cute lil zha bo's car and headed to Petaling St.. traffic was practically crawling, from Pavilion down Jln Bukit Bintang. the 30 mins in the car was put to good use as we taught Soon Young all the lahs, lohs, mars and mehs.. everyone was left in stitches as we went out chatting in the car. Ah, Manglish.. it's just so impressive how we managed to differentiate the usage of each suffix. and the results.. a very amusing language.

woman-beside-me was on her way to Puduraya to catch a bus back to her Bat-City ( Kluang), therefore not able to follow us to Malacca the next day. However, cute-lil-zha-bo managed to persuade woman-beside-me to postpone her trip back to Saturday, and to leave from Malacca to Johor instead. that way she gets to join in the fun ! yay! that was a brilliant idea.

After 45 mins of traffic jam, we got to Petaling St. we were so starving that we decided to give this roadside bak kut teh a try, plus this hokkien mee stall next to it looks pretty tempting. Ordered my favourite ying-yong and a fried pan mee. yum ! ( according to soon young - our nice korean friend) . The dinner was so good that we had the company of a rat that was finding it's way back to the set of Ratatouille ! yikes.. Cute-lil-zha-bo refused to put her leg down after that. muahaha

After dinner, we headed down to brightly lit Chinatown, our first stop was Tau-Foo Fah. Soon young went " sweet tofu ??" .. yeah, our m'sian food is just amazing. The damage for the day was 3 pairs of Mickey Mouse shoes - each of us got a pair except for zha-bo who claims that she owns many pairs of sport shoes already, a new pair of sunnies and a T-shirt for me.

At 10pm, we all head home, need to be well rested for our malacca trip !
