whattaday!

today we totally prepped ourselves before we left the apartment. this was to avoid from looking like "orang minyak"!!

1. comfortable clothes (check)
2. comfortable shoes (check)
3. extra t-shirts (check)
4. body spray (check)
5. tissues (check)
6. evian facial spray (check)

haha, yes we were extremely anal since we were heading towards naif! the jam in naif area was such a pain! for us to get to the entrance of the parking area took us 15 minutes! it was rather annoying, and the weather is extremely warm today... who the heck am i kidding! its freaking HOT!!

parked the car and walked to the gold souk, if you're wondering what the gold souk is let me explain to you... its like you walking in petaling street in kl, instead of the retailers selling fake bags/wallet/belts and whatever they can get under the sun, in gold souk is just GOLD! from 18k-24k. we walked and checked out most of the shops it was difficult for me to decide what i wanted. haha. mom and hubs got what they wanted! then bella told me to get myself a sabica (don't know if i got the spelling right!) which is a great investment. so yeah she got one for herself. and i was still walking empty handed. haha. for the first time i was the only one who couldn't make a decision. heck!

well my main aim was to purchase things for my in-laws, went to the famous material shop - phulwani, i felt so much at home... they spoke to us is bahasa, and offered us teh-tarik and everything, we were there for an hour... and left with 7 different materials. hehe.

met my uncle at a chinese restaurant - china sea restaurant, near the clock tower. bella didn't join us for dins, she had to rush back cause she was working the next day. while eating uncle halim called uncle salleh, and mom had persuaded him to join us. we waited for 45 minutes, well it cluded the dinner and what not, then as we were leaving they appeared at the entrance. this was the first time i was meeting uncle halim! out of the 26 years of my life. i was glad that i met him, he's whitty and spontaneous. aunt theresa said i looked exactly like kak didi, and mom agreed. uncle halim will be transfered to abu dhabi soon, still attached with the same company - etisalat. he is by far the most qualified mathematician for the university. i'm proud of him!

we went for our usual chai session with uncle salleh at the creek, opposite the rolex tower. sat and took photos, we were laughing away and enjoying the short breeze that we had gotten for 10 minutes, but it was priceless...
