rm2.50 only

i did my part in helping to save the environment while i was in kl. there were 3 things on the agenda for the trip actually. first- to pick up aunt's watch, second- to recycle all the old phones and chargers at home, third- get free dinner. and i managed to do all three.
the most important is, i did not spend any money shopping. yeah! frankly, there is nothing i need. so i better remind myself that i have all the necessities already and the extras will be extras....for the time being lah.
money for my car petrol and the toll dun include lah. i only paid rm2.50 for parking at klcc, after getting 2 hours free (aunt bought something in isetan, so got free 2 hours parking). at pavilion, we had dinner there and also got another 2 hours free and ended up paying only rm1....aunt paid.

so if you are interested to recycle your old phones and not dump them and cause hazards to the environment, you can bring them to nokia kiosk at klcc. there are 2 other places where you can go to. just search online lah. i recycled 4 mobile phones, 1 battery pack, and 4 chargers. 2 of the phones were mine- my first motorola then the samsung.

the stupid thing with the machine is, it has to be restarted everytime one transaction finished. something was wrong with the running of one of the programmes in the computer. and everytime i need to put in another item into the machine, i had to type my name, contact no and ic no. so i actually keyed in all the above details 9 times! at first the assistants managing the nokia booth were not friendly at all. i was standing there looking at the kiosk while 3 of the assistants were busy smsing. i had to call one of the nearest ones to me to guide me in using the machine. those assistants are really dungu and a waste of money i tell you. if i din call for help, i am sure i would be standing there till the sun set. one guy who wanted to do something at the kiosk was facing trouble and no one bothered to help...in the end, he just left.

and there are still sales in kl malls but business is not that brisk. isetan was empty. coach has clearance sale but kinda crappy one. they call it clearance sale but the things are only at 30% discount. chech. that is clearance? clearance to me will be more than 60%. the above are mulberry bags at pavilion...they are going at 60% discount. these are the only 2 left. both are nice....if only i have the extra money and the use for them. but of course the price is still four figures....less than rm1500.

and i finally get a chance to use my lv speedy 25. aunt is also using hers that day. u can still see those creases from folding the bag on mine. although the bag looks small in size, i was surprised that it can actually hold quite a lot. a bottle of water inside is definitely not a problem and there is still a lot of space remaining. so i better make good use of the bag to make sure it is worth the price i paid for. reminder to self: go out more often.

our dinner was at kampachi and the banker is non-other than cousin jia en. thank you. it is a nice place and it seems quite popular with the crowd. the ambiance was good and the service excellent. but food wise....so-so. i am not really a fan of soba so i din quite enjoy mine. but luckily i had my soft shell crab temaki, grill salmon and tempura prawn...they were yummy. we had green tea ice-cream for dessert, that was also so-so....can't really smell the green tea fragrant. the prices of course are about two and a half times prices at those sushi outlets like sushi king.
but the seafood was good.
reached home at around 10.30p.m. so that was an afternoon (3.30p.m. onwards)and evening at klcc and pavilion.
