goddess in the making getting her tiffany

i am having a headache now. it is not often i have one nor can i remember when the last time i had one, but i do know that i hate the one i am having now.
in fact i think i went to sleep with a headache and woke up with one even more intense.
could it be because i slept very late (1a.m.) or too much food and many malls on saturday?

all my classes are cancelled this weekend because of one vip friend- yunli who is back from england with hubby, matt. well, i am sure the kids also benefited from this break because many chinese families are taking the weekend to visit graves in conjunction with chingming, our version of all souls' day. mom visited her parents' graves today when her brother and family came. we will be doing our round next saturday.

ok back to yesterday. yunli and matt stayed at prince hotel, conveniently located within walking distance to pavilion and klcc. i drove down at 9.30a.m. and only guessed my way to the hotel. phew! luckily i managed to get there without getting lost. my instinct and sense of direction worked together to get me there.one interesting sign we saw on our walk to pavilion. how many are there in kl?

our first agenda was to head to pavilion. strolled around a bit and i played tour guide. got myself 100euro at rm448. am just buying them when i see the money changer. cannot buy a lot ah. 4.48 is low.

went to gsc for alice in wonderland in 3d. yunli bought the ticket on friday. this 3d experience was a better one compared to up. you could really see things flying your way. but some background really faded in 3d and you were wondering whether to take off the glasses or not. all the negative reviews i heard from friends were unfounded luckily. the story unfolded just as how i imagined and i think it stayed very close to the books. bravo tim burton. you did not disappoint. to watch in 3d, you have to pay rm5 extra.

after the movie, it was lunch time at 2p.m. my destination: lot 10 hutong food court. that is the only food court i am going to when i am there i guess.

i had the hokkien mee that i wanted to try. it was cooked using charcoal fire. i paid rm9.35 including tax for this plate. the original store is in petaling street if i am not wrong. so my verdict? i expected it to be very very good, it was only good for me. they used very thick dark soya sauce and lots of lard. i feel they were not generous enough with the cabbage and meat.
yunli and matt loved the place and matt called it unique. we also met yunli's friend janice there. she works in ambank in the i.t. dept. nope, she does not know my cousin.

after that, we decided to walk to klcc because they wanted to go to kinokuniya. only matt got a book. i din want to look for any book although i was tempted to buy a few. i still have so many untouched at home!!! damn, when am i going to finish the enchantress of florence by salman rushdie?

tea time...it was ice kacang at little penang cafe. i was very full. it was difficult to finish the bowl and i was the last to finish.

then it was back to the hotel to put down the shopping bags and wait for yunli's uncle to meet us at bukit bintang. janice did not join us for dinner.
yup, dinner was at jalan alor. i think i have only been there twice and it is my second time. it looks quite different already. all the hawker dishes are good. we had beef kueyteow with ginger and garlic, belacan lala, kailan, grilled chicken wings and grilled stingray. my favourite is the sting ray. the chilli sauce on top was delicious.

by the time we left, earth hour had already started...but i dun think anyone in jalan alor care. all the lights were still on. kl tower's were off.

they wanted to look for some dessert drinks, so it was back to lot 10 hutong. haha...not my suggestion, it was their's. see they are also hooked with the food court. and i think they went there for lunch again today.
all ytl properties took part in earth hour campaign. so it was romantic dessert time in the food court. candles were everywhere but the crowd was thin. i did not have anything because i really could not take in anything anymore. i did not want to suffer in my drive home later.

lights on again at 9.30p.m.
i started my journey home at 10.30p.m. phew! what a long day. but it was good meeting yunli and matt again after such a long time. it will be few more years before the next meeting takes place.

yunli got me this book....so i am now going to turn into a goddess by learning all the 1000 ways given lah. there were tips on ironing, what to do in the kitchen, etc. and every page is coloured with illustrations. should be interesting. i'll see if there are any tips worth sharing ah and we all can turn into goddesses together. hahahaha....

last but not least, yunli also helped me buy my first tiffany- a mini bead bracelet with a mini heart shaped lock. the beads and the lock are actually smaller than what you see here. sob sob....but still tiffany kan? the bracelet chain is quite complicated interlinks of many mini chains. even yunli's mom was impressed with the bracelet.

ok, the damage to the pocket? because yunli got it inside the airport terminal, i got 15% off the retail price. it retails for 100 pounds on the website, so now it is 85 pounds. and because the pounds have dropped to rm5, i paid rm420 for the bracelet. i thought i was going to pay rm500 for it. happy happy happy. i went into tiffany klcc to check the price too, it is rm470. the price is also quite reasonable ah.....cheaper than uk's price.

so you know where you can go now to get cheaper tiffany. so more silver from tiffany for me? wait and see lah.....escape- be thrifty.
