An Outing

Yay outing!

Yesterday afternoon my cousin woke me up when I tidur lena and asked me to go with her for a haircut. Actually I wanted to get my haircut next week, but then I thought what the heck, got people teman, so just go la.

I reached there (times square) at 2. But she was late (as expected). Actually I was glad that she's late cos I wanna drop by borders to continue reading a book. You know how my friends are always late for an outing, I kinda picked up a habit while waiting for them. While waiting, I'll pick up a book from Borders to read. Of course this isn't necessary if my friends are late for like 5 or 15 minutes. But my friends.... they'll always be late for at least half an hour ZOMG. So this habit proved to be quite useful after all haha...

Last Friday when I was waiting for my friend, I went looking for Percy Jackson series in Borders and started reading Lightning Thief. When my friend finally reached an hour later (!!!), I have to stop at the juicy part of the story! The story then kinda stuck in my head for the next few days. That's why I was glad my cousin came late! I continued reading the book until after an hour, I realized I was still reading the book. What happened to my cousin?? Apparently her karaoke in Lowyat was extended an hour, and she was on her way to time square when I called her. -_-;;;; I wonder if I could finish the book though, before I go US. You know my mom actually forbids me to buy any more books. She said books are cheaper in US. Is that true?


And so when I met my friend we went for our haircut at Kimarie. When we reached there, the receptionist told us we have to wait for an hour! What..? So we walked around checking out christmas decor, winter clothings and other stores. Also there's this shop I came by that has a salesman who was very friendly, in fact too friendly to the point that it had became very pestering. He and another salesgirl practically swarmed me when I went in. When I spotted a cardigan and wanted to try it out, that guy then started giving me a 15 minutes lecture about how trendy cardigans are. >_<;; The cardigan was actually OK but the thing is they sold it for 70 bucks! I could probably get a similar if not better cardigan in a branded shop for a cheaper price. When we left the shop my cousin and I were both exchanging looks o_o. Later, we went back to Kimarie after we received a call from them. After consulting our hairstylists, my cousin decided to get her hair cut short while I just got my hair trimmed a lil. I really enjoyed the hair washing part. The assistant washing my hair squeezed the shampoo like it's tap water. She practically spent half a bottle on my hair! The shampoo is probably diluted but still. Then she also spent 10 minutes scratching and massaging my scalp. Ahh.. so nice.. haha.. I think after trying several saloons, Kimarie is still easily the best. I remembered the last time I went to Michael and Guys for highlight. The people there were so 敷衍 (cincai) when washing my hair. Also that bitch hairstylist cut my hair without even asking me first.

So anyway, after hair cut we went for dinner. I suggested to go Jalan Alor and try their assam laksa! Actually I wanted to try it since last year when my friend syorkan to me. Summore this friend is from Penang, so he knows! haha.. So we walked along the street asking each stall who sells Assam Laksa lol. Then there's this lady who told us that someone down the street is selling it and she'll order it for me, then she asked us to sit down. Wa so terer do bussiness la. Then she cheated us eat mushrooms summore. She was like sambil intro-ing us the mushroom sambil writing it down on the order sheet.



Then there's also this strange thing happened when we were eating. Every 5 minutes, there'll be a child walking pass selling tissue to us. Some lil girls even feign cuteness in their voice when selling tissues, and then switch language when selling to foreigners. So pro la that lil gal. I think these kids are from an organization or sth. Don't know la.. kinda pity them.

Then when day stretched to night (so poetic), the people came selling things or asking money got stranger and stranger. Children were replaced by monks, monks replaced by old ladies... I wonder what's next if we stayed longer. Erm..

The monk asking for money.. Notice how the holy light shining on him? Hahahahaha no, he's still a fraud.

Besides where we eat.


Jalan Alor

After eating, I walked to lot 10 and looked for Clara in Tower Records! Haha.. I bought Jolin's Agent J Champion CD there. I got 20% discount for the CD and a free Jolin calendar courtesy of Clara. XDDD

Agent J Commemorate Version

Then from Lot 10 my cousin and I walked back to time square. We thought of having a good foot massage after a long day. We went to an earlier spotted reflexology (sp?) store but it was already closed. So we went to another.

We went to My Buddy Health House

We were greeted by a few of their staffs. When I noticed their rich Chinese accent I was already half skeptical. Sorry for stereotyping la can't help it. But then cos I was lazy to search for another reflexology store (if any) so I just went into this one. The guy who massaged me started rubbing left and right of my foot. Ok fine. But then he continued that motion for like almost 5 minutes. I was like for Pete's sake when are you going to start massaging? Then when he finally started massaging he made pretty damn sure that it inflicts severe pain on me. Cos he was surveying my expression every single time he pressed the pain spots. Then he'd ask "Pain?". I replied "Ok la.." and then put on the if-you're-not-gonna-massage-me-more-kuatly-im-gonna-doze-off look. Also, I noticed my cousin's massager and mine used different formula/style in massaging. That just proved that they don't really have a formula in their massage! And then when asked how she felt by the massager, my cousin was like saying "舒服..舒服..". I was thinking "really?". Then when we went out of the store, the first thing my cousin told me was that the foot massage sucks, and I was like LMAO LMAO LMAO. Really la, that shop turned out to be a bogus after all. For goodness sake, they even displayed "feet massage" on their banner. Isn't it suppose to be foot massage? Also, they only really massaged me for 25 mins. For me it's either exact time or over time, less time is not tolerable.
