Busy Weekend : 23-24th May

Let's see.... what did we do tht was so busy...?

Saturday
Morning :
- drive father-in-law to Pudu market. He needs to buy some stuff to prepare the "Bachang" (glutinous rice dumpling - sweet & savoury)

- sign S&P for our apartment in Bkt Jalil (The Zest)

Afternoon :
- "shop" for the best home loan for our apartment

- race over to Corus for the Clark's warehouse sale. By the time we got there, all the good stuff was naturally snapped away. So left in 10-15mins without any purchase (so sad....)

- to "nurse" my shopping-spree failure with Clark's, we went to Berjaya Times Square to hunt for the "Predator" figurine from the same shop I bought the "Aliens" figurine. We saw the latest "Predator" figurine in Midvalley last weekend but it costs RM560+! So we thought of checking if this shop sells cheaper. Sadly they didn't buy any stock. We found another shop that sells the exact same models, but the price is the same - RM560+.... We didn't buy lar.... Tempting, but our current home has no display case / space to display anyway. Next time lar... We tried going to watch a movie but nothing caught our fancy, so we ended up eating Japanese ice cream (it's really yummy - made of 100% fresh milk & 100% frozen fruit with no colouring, preservatives or sugar added), can't remember the name though.... It's a small shop / stall near the Cinema in Berjaya Times Square.

Evening :
- Help mother-in-law to "wrap" bachang. I said help lar... but I think massacred tht poor conical dumpling was more like it. It turned out more cubic than conical. My mother-in-law said "Never mind lar.... first time wrap is like that one lar... As long as the bachang don't unravel - good already". The minute she completed the sentence, the twine used to tie & knot the bachang snapped, & my carefully "crafted" & wrapped bachang disintegrated into a pile of raw glutinous rice & filling on top of some leaves... My mother-in-law must be thinking "This daughter-in-law ar.... hopeless case.... Juzz puji a bit only, the whole thing gone" :-p

Sunday :
Morning - Went to PJCC near NPE to visit a construction site of some commercial buildings... Doing some homework lar... Everyone will tell you the investment is great / good. But when involving RM1mln investment - cannot accept what people say only lor.... Must check-out the place...

Afternoon - Went to Midvalley for hubby's "hair-appointment". As usual, I window shop around MV & Gardens. Didn't buy anything though... phew....

Evening - Went back to PJCC, but this time via old Klang road instead of using the NPE. Went through many Malay kampung area & some existing commercial shop projects. The market price was around RM1mln as per this new project we're eyeing, but.... it was the same price 10-yrs ago & the price did not go up much! The rental was worse.... Maybe RM3-4k for the whole block if you're lucky.... We were not as bought in about the potential of the site after that, but hubby still wanted to survey it a bit more.... Sometimes, just being a few km away from the other sites can make a big difference in terms of investment returns. Anyhow, we both agreed that we need the expert - daddy, to look at it before we commit anything.

Night - It was the 1st / 15th of the Chinese calendar, I can't remember, so the family is having vegetarian dinner. Hubby being extreme carnivore & knowing tht his dad will also go out to "dabao" his own non-vege dinner, he decided to bring his dad & myself out for dinner at a local "big fry" (dai-chao).

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.................. exhausted......
