cny is finally around the corner

roar! roar! roar! chinese new year is really around the corner. you can feel the festive air especially in our local malls where they play cny songs non-stop and red decorations hanging everywhere.

this is what you will see ifyou go to pavilion. was there on friday before yeelin and jet flew back to australia on saturday. aunt, sis, brothers and cousins went down to kl to have dinner with sis liling. we reached klcc at 4.30pm and yee and i walked (more like dashed) to pavilion. yee wanted to see pavilion. the walk was quite fast and in no time, we reached pavilion. i passed the side of the building before reaching the front and noticed all the sidewalk restaurants, bistros and cafes for the first time. i guess that is the new place to be seen. i saw the controversial malaysian singer namewee at one of the tables there with a video camera on the table. well, he was in his signature beanie, so it was not difficult to identify him.
we were only there for 1 hour but yee still got some shopping done. zara still had final clearance and she got a shirt and a bag. i went to have my toywatch's strap shortened.
we met liling at 6p.m. dinner was at chilli's. waited for a while. it looks like most of the office workers chose chilli's to chill on friday as well. the food is definitely better than tgif.
after some window shopping, there was a second round for dinner at madam kwan's. i think sis liling did not enjoy western food that much and she was craving for rice. the latecomers (wei and en) also did not have much. liling ordered fish head curry (rm90) and the bowl was really huge! unfortunately, the food that day was not satisfactory at all. i think the quality has dropped. the fish head curry is just plain coconut curry and cendol and ais kacang were bland. i ordered a banana junk...the mango ice-cream was refreshingly fragrant.

new year air is in the house as well. today we did some spring cleaning in the store room...and it felt therapeutic to get rid of stuff. cookie jars are filling up fast in the kitchen and space is running out. will post photo next week when all is almost done.
i'm still looking for a pair of new shorts to wear. new year kan....so new shorts lah. it is the coolest and most comfy in our hot weather. one more week of work and then one whole week of cny holidays. can't wait.
