Shopping Craze

First of all, I would like to inform you that...I'M STILL ALIVE!!! T____T OK?! I'm still around, just...busy with my new job. T_T I've been so busy I didn't even get to watch my anime or manga at home. I could only do that in the train on my baby, Asami (iPod Touch) and that is only if I could get a seat! WARGH!!!

Anyway, before I started at my new workplace, I did a bit of office attire shopping...shoes, clothes, etc. Well, just three weeks back? Uh, on the 22nd of October, I believe, Jusco had a one day J member sales. I took that opportunity to shop. Since it was a weekday, a Wednesday, I didn't expect it to be crowded, but I was shocked when I realized that the queue to the car park was SUPER LOOOOOOOONG!!!

And then..inside...

The crowd! ARGH! Some were there even before it started at 8 am. I saw my neighbour there and she told me that she was already there at 7 something in the morning!!!

Entrance to the department store.

Queues at the cashiers. Don't you need to work, people?!!

Ah, yes. I have almost forgotten. How could I? While I was queuing up, I was horrified when I felt a pair of boobs pressed AGAINST my back. It was an aunty in her forties (?) behind me. Lady, I don't see any logic in...plastering yourself to my back, it's not going to make the waiting any shorter. Wait, maybe it would have, if I had ran for my...my back's chastity. Anyway, that incident made it clear that I wasn't going to be a lesbian anytime soon -_-.

Comforters! People were just buying BAGS and BAGS of comforters! Some even had two to three carts of comforters/pillows/bolsters...

After queuing up for so long at the cashier, I wanted to grab these knives and go on a killing spree.

The madness at the supermarket.

Other independent stores decided to join the J Card member day madness.

View of the centre court from the 1st floor. Economic crisis? Recession? Hmm...

And then the NEXT day, I followed my friend to Metrojaya's warehouse sale at Stadium Malawati, Shah Alam.

I thought it wouldn't be as bad. I thought wrong.

On the way INTO the stadium.

We weren't allowed to bring a camera in. Technically, I didn't bring a camera in :D

The row of cashiers at one side of the stadium, obviously not enough to serve the huge crowd on that day. We left five minutes later, empty-handed.

I'm never going to try this stunt again T_T.

BAM!! Car Accident,,,

And no, I wasn't the driver. It happened on a Sunday evening, after class. I was lying down behind, sleeping while listening to my SonyE when...BAM!!! I heard a loud crash, felt my toes being crunched and was almost thrown off the seat. When I opened my eyes, I saw the sky and trees revolving, and I wondered if my life was spinning away with the car. Just when I thought that the spinning wouldn't stop (it only spun once, but it sure felt longer than that), the car came to a halt. I got up, looked around wildly while asking, "What happened?! What happened?! Huh?! Huh?!" like a blur numbnut I am.
Well, obviously we got hit by another car (luckily not a truck). I noticed that we were facing the opposite direction! I actually saw the car, with the front bumper sticking out speeding away. Hit and run -_-.

Dad drove the car to the side. I could hear the wheel being dragged along. I noticed too that our car was lopsided. Not good. I tried getting down on the left side but when I pulled the handle, it got stuck! My jaw dropped as I looked around, hoping that Dad didn't see that. I exited at the other side of the car, throbbing toes and all, to see the extent of the damage.

No wonder I couldn't open the left back passenger door! Now I know why my toes got "crushed".

My feet were at the circled area. Imagined if my head was there. Then, my dear friends would have to line up and reintroduce yourselves to me.

On that day, the traffic lights at the cross junction were not working. A white car slowed down for my dad to cross. Another car must have sped past the white car and slammed into ours. Well, that was what we think happened. The impact was great enough to send our car spinning and damage the back wheel.

The wheel slanted inwards. Anyway, Dad was fine, and so am I. Only my toes were a little bruised and the skin got scraped. I did relive the experience in my sleep that night (the part where I almost got thrown off the seat), and jerked myself awake. Maybe because I was asleep when it happened, so that's all the "mental trauma" I got. The next day I woke up feeling like I've only slept half as much. My body started aching and I even misspelled simple words! "Trees" became "triss". However, mom said there's always something wrong with my brain anyway -_-|||

The sweetest part was Orange licking my bruised toes, trying to heal them. I didn't have the heart to tell him that it's going to have the opposite effect instead.

Meow! I'm Orange...

Someone asked me before what I would like my last meal to be. I had trouble answering him at that time. Now I know. Joanne, Claudio, if you are reading this, my answer is Chicken Rendang Nasi Lemak! =D

Oh, don't ask me for my car number plate. I won't give you! That's because I'm buying 4D with it myself. Need some compensation from the above since the other party ran away. Cis!

Happy Ramadan!!!

It's the time of the year again! The time of the year to go Ramadan food hunting! Or so I say. I've only ever bought Ramadan food from one location and that's Section 14's Ramadan bazaar. So today, on the way home, I stopped by at Section 14's Ramadan bazaar. It was raining on the way back, but fortunately, the sky was still clear at Section 14. So, I walked around, hunting for my ayam percik (spicy chicken) and grilled fish. Placed my order for grilled sotong (cuttlefish) and grilled ikan pari (ray fish). Then I continued hunting for my ayam percik. I was surprised though that I didn't see the lemang (bamboo glutinous rice) stall at the usual spot. In fact, I didn't see any lemang stall at all. Perhaps I missed it?

The otak-otak (fish cake?) smelt nice, but due to last year's bad experience, I didn't feel like buying any. I finally found my ayam percik stalls, but I hesitated in buying from them as there was no one at their stalls! After a few minutes of walking up and down, I finally bought one ayam percik peha. Then I returned to the earlier stall to collect my pari and sotong.

However, halfway waiting, it started raining! On top of that the lady gave my order to a guy after me (we were given numbers), because really, I'm too unnoticeable and he ordered the same thing. While waiting for her to pack my order, the rain got heavier and heavier. Although I had an umbrella with me, I was too close to the stall and other people to open it up.

Grabbing my plastic bag of food and change, I hurriedly opened my umbrella and rushed back to the car where my mom was waiting for me. For a moment, my umbrella was rendered useless thanks to the strong wind. Due to the rain, I was wet and feeling cold in the car. I placed the plastic bag of food on my lap and exclaimed that it was hot. Mom advised me to place the newspapers on my lap to put the food on, but I declined. I welcome the warmth from the plastic bag of food. It was better than being chilled to the bones.

It was only when I got back that I realized that it wasn't a good idea. Because I was feeling cold, I couldn't gauge the heat of the plastic of food properly. This was what I discovered after I reached home:

AIYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEe!!! Red patch on my thigh!
And then...and then...it became a pretty shape:



On top of that, because I grabbed my change and rushed of just like that, the notes got all crumpled up:

And this was after mom has flattened them out. Before this, she almost threw the notes away because she thought that the notes were rubbish >.>

And the food pics:

My ayam percik. RM5 for this portion. Not too bad, a bit on the sweetish side due to the sauce. Question: Was ayam percik sweet? I can't remember.

Sotong panggang and ikan pari panggang...This dish was a disappointment. It tasted rather bland, has no "panggang fragrance" at all. Even my mom commented that she couldn't taste much from this dish. *Sigh* After all those sacrifices made...

So, anyone has any recommendations? On where I can get good Ramadan food?

Anyway, selamat menyambut bulan Ramadan!
