Last week of October’s weekend updates. Sorry for not being more interesting here, peeps! I have a lot of ideas for blog rants and such, but they require too much of my time. Which is currently occupied with other things such as Life and Work. I know, there’s an insane amount of food pics here, and Ben says it gets a bit boring. Why do I even post it up, he asks. “Er… so other people get jealous.”
Ben : “Why the f*_K will they get jealous about?”
Me : “Er… like all that food being in my belleh… Mmm.. yeah, my belly and not their belly!”
Hmm… actually, I think it’s because it’s the prettiest things in my camera, hahaha. I’m really looking forward to the work week, having been given a shot of ENERGY from the long weekend and another shot of INSPIRATION from my care group leader. Guess what? We were sharing about personal weaknesses that we might have, and I said I have a fear of speaking in crowds. As I’m worried about the way that I sound, grammar, etc. Personally, I think it’s because of my own bitchy attitude. I am inwardly laughing at people who make grammatical mistakes. And you know what they say about this “perfectionist” attitude right? You wind up being so freaking insecure about yourself. It’s an ongoing battle, and believe me, I’ve made way more headway in recent times than before.
I think I’ve mentioned something similar before last time. Like, loving to point out other’s physical flaws, which made me extra hard on myself to lose weight and gym like a nutter. After doing training, I realise how much more of a joy it is to motivate others to lose weight, help them to achieve their goal and cheer them on instead. *suddenly so holy lol*
Ok, maybe you just think I”m bullshitting you, so I’ll just head on to the weekend updates instead :
Publika
Finally went to Publika in Mont Kiara… and it was really random! Tron had something to do there, and we happened to drive past Publika. I’m like katak di bawah tempurung – hadn’t heard all the hype about the place so I was like “what is Publika? What is this? Is it a mall? Don’t look like a mall?!” It’s like one of those open-mall concepts ala Sunway Giza IMHO… but they emphasise on performing arts and stuff like that. There’s a lot of artwork being exhibited around the mall, although some of them are a bit weird and not mall-friendly. Again IMHO.
So happened that on the day we went, they had live performances going on. We layan-ed this guy called Mr Banana who is doing some modern version of mime stuff. Quite funny, but what I really enjoyed was his enthusiasm at getting volunteers. He even carried an Indian guy who was watching from the sidelines to the middle of the “stage” cos the guy didn’t want to come in front by himself. Hahahaa! After Tron saw that, he purposely took two steps back. 
Mr Banana
Got some ghostly-dressed dancers as well… and they were going to do a dance performance. I think they should’ve arranged the performance times better, because from what I *thought* was going on, it was going to clash with Mr Banana’s performance. It’s only good to have 2 performances going on at the same time if there’s hordes of people. But since there ISN’T, then it’s like the performances are stealing audience from each other. A bit silly and pointless… anyway, we loyal-ly stayed to watch finish Mr Banana’s performance.
Physically getting the volunteers, haha.
Telling us to cheer harder.
Me!
Happened to pass by 1 Mont Kiara on the way out of the area, and Tron saw a sign saying, “Enter the Dragon’s Lair” or something like that. He found it very intriguing and said we should totally see what was up. In the end, it was this totally scam-mish Halloween set-up. Blehk. Not very dragon-like in my eyes.
And we bought the most expensive fruit juice ever. I don’t even want to recount how much each bottle costs. -__-”
My parents were in Penang that particular day, so I whiled my time away baking peanut butter cookies after Tron sent me home. But come dinner time, was feeling hungry (no, peanut butter cookies for dinner does NOT sound enticing) and lonely, so called Tron for dinner. He introduced me to a new restaurant in the area called G & G. Pretty good stuff, and the owners were amused at me snapping photos of my hokkien mee. Probably subscribes to Ben’s school of thought.
Warms the tummy – old cucumber soup.
Hokkien Mee – good but not great like the one in PJ that Tron took me to “once upon a time”
Fried rice.
Sweet & sour pork
Capriciossa
New place in Subang Parade that Tron & I quite like! The staffers are friendly and the food that we had was awesomeEeeeee. I was somewhat on night support that day, and Tron came over to my house and watched me monitoring the batch run til he beh tahan and told me we should go somewhere nearby to eat, so that if there’s any problem, I could rush back instantly. Throughout the day, I kept worrying about the batch run and how fast I could get back home! But at the end, there was no problems at all. -___- I really need to learn how to be more emotionally stable… hahaha.
New place!
Tron and his Mario shirt.
Me and my Wolverine shirt!
Rather nice clam chowder soup. Unlike the one at *ahem* B&N, it actually has copious amounts of clam in it. Very thick and filling, a great appetizer.
This is like their signature pizza or something like that. This is what you *must* try if you come here. Quite a large pizza, just nice for 2. I saw one thin man attempt to eat it all by himself though!
Later that night, I met up with Dull & Fuzz for my belated birthday celebration, and general catch-up with my two galpals. Was a lovely night, only to be spoilt by my funky contact lens that had me “plucking it out” directly from the eyeball. I thought I was discreet, until I heard Dull say, “I don’t think it’s very good for you to keep doing that right?” We went to Capriciossa again, cos there’s a total lack of restaurants to go to ever since Empire got bombed. *sob*
Shared out the Disney souvenirs I got from Hong Kong. I only bought 2 keychains and it went to them.
Dull took this keychain. Ok, I am darn pathetic for I took pics of the souvenirs, but not of my friends. I should’ve taken a group pic, but with my wonky contact lens acting up, really couldn’t bear having that moment immortalised on film.
Disney mints!
Fuzzy’s 3 cheese pasta
An anchovy pizza that Dull and I split. I wouldn’t recommend this as it is way, way too salty. And it’s not just me, as Dull also complained about it from the very first bite.
That’s for the end of October’s update… and that’s pretty much it for Bulan Bersocial October 2011!
