When we're not in class, we're exploring KL.

In the past week, Alena and I took the...
Monorail to Sungei Wang to get her ink done. An impromptu one, if I may add.
KTM to MidValley to get work (and our nails) done. TGIF's value lunch is such a steal!
LRT to KLCC where we were shooed by the guards, so we decided to go to Aquaria.
KTM to the Planetarium where we got soaked and I fell on my ass. The anti-gravity room was trippyyyy.
Monorail to Pavilion for coffee. I bought American Psycho and The Help with my book voucher.

Ah, all good fun. More adventures to come, hopefully! ☺

The following pictures are from our trip to KLCC:

"The only place I want to get lost in is a book."

Had a simple outing with the wife to Mid Valley. After lunch, we went to almost all the sportswear store there is in MidValley and Gardens to look for a particular jersey for a particular someone, only to be disappointed. Since he was tired from football training and there wasn't much to do anyway, we decided to just chill in Borders. Yes, for most of it, that's where we were. We just sat by the fiction section and talked. And I personally think that was sufficient, just some spousal bonding time c: Plus, he had a lot of fun poking my fats (I kid you not), and we discovered we have almost the same feet size. LOL..

Oh, and I spent my first RM50 book voucher on two Jodi Picoult books! :) The purchase was subsequently followed by me carelessly leaving my planner on the counter, along with the RM150 worth of vouchers in it -_-

Because the Red Devils beat Liverpool 2-1 that very night :)

Because he just can't be seen in a bookstore.

A.B.I

Headed over to Mont Kiara (probably for the last time in a long time) for John's farewell. All in all, it was a good day. Spent time with the boyfriend (bubble tea and fried carrot cake!!), watched the guys play futsal, and then shishaaaa. Everyone seemed to be in some sort of pain though: Brent had a busted toe, Mason had bruises and wounds from falling, and Brian was T-rexing the whole day because his muscles ached.
In retrospect, I probably shouldn't have wondered off with Brian. The event after all was supposed to be all about John. *feeling bad*

Anyway.

I hope Australia treats you well, John! I admit we don't talk very much but when we do, lets just say it's awesome beyond imagination :) Will definitely miss you!! Shisha when you get back, okay? :D Which is in 10 months time...

Brian should be happy I don't carry a handbag.

John's ink.

Because boys will always be boys.

Deck The Halls

It has been ages since I've met up with Cherise, but I can safely say that nothing has changed between us :D Went to her place to help decorate her Christmas tree (my first ever time too!!). We originally planned for a sleepover, but something came up. Ah well, I'll take what I can get :)

We dropped by Curve to grab some Christmas tree ornaments. Took us a while to decide on which ones look best (it's not like we were spoiled with choices seeing how close it was to Christmas), but I think it's safe to say we did a pretty fine job picking them out C:

Before we headed back, we were approached by this woman who introduced herself as a rep from from TV3. She asked if they could record us saying a season greetings message, and we complied C: It only took us a little while, but it was pretty fun nonetheless. It's not often I voluntarily put myself in front of the camera, so yay for new experiences :)
The clip was apparently aired on the 26th this month, but Cherise and I missed it :( Oh well.

Anyway.

We headed back, spent who-knows-how-long decorating the tree, and just caught up with the bestie :)

So apparently, this is Cherise's very aggressive rabbit's doing.

Isn't that the cutest ornament??

 

And can I just say that the Tan's are one of the nicest families I've met! :')

And how much Marise has grown! She's 11 and she's almost as tall as Cherise and myself :o

BV

Headed over to Sam's on the 7th to catch up with the bestie (and leech off his internet imeanwhut).

We shared a cab with another passenger to BV, and she commented on our American accent. She's Asian American and was wondering if we were local. I know having an accent is no mentionable feat but I'm just going to revel in this for a little ☺

Anyway. That day was the first ever time I stepped foot into Bangsar Village and I have to say that I fell in love with decor of the restaurants and bistros! So creative and lovely! :)

We had tea at Marmalade. Their chicken pie was rather bland but the mash potato made up for every ounce of the main dish's blandness. I think I'd go back there just for their mash!

Bestie looking good in my glasses B)
