Today

Today for the first time I went to Pavillion. Two of my best friends invited me to have lunch there since they know that I have never set foot in Pavillion. I am the type who would wait a little longer, or sometimes much longer, to set foot in new places like new departmental stores or new restaurants. Basically I do not like crowd and mostly the kiasu types, especially those with certain profiles (Yes, I admit I'm a racist sometimes). Another reason is that I do not like to drive to KL what more to places such as Bukit Bintang which is extremely crowded. The place is of course huge since it is built over a few landmarks that I would pass by on my way to school back in the 70s, like the BBGS, the old Eden, the swimming pool and probably St. Mary's too. There a lot of places to eat and a lot of dishes to try. We went to Tony Roma or Romas and had the ribs. It was delicious. These two friends of mine are the kind that you would dearly miss if they are not around and would also miss you when you're gone.

I've read in other people's blogs not too long ago that the line at the JCo Donut shop would be long the moment the place is opened. Just now at 12.30 I saw no line at all at the shop. Probably the hype over the donuts is very slowly diminishing. For me personally, I could not take the donuts from either Big Apple or JCo anymore. My 'tekak' becomes 'loya' when I think of the donuts. They are just too sweet especially those from JCo. Anyway I'm more of a 'cok keria' person than a donut person.

Back to not eager to go to newly opened places, I have not set foot in Berjaya Time Square and have never been up the KL Tower. My friends told me that I have not missed anything by not going to Time Square. I think so too.

On an unrelated note, yesterday I bought this machine people use to wash cars that shoots the water really fast. I know there's a name for such device but I'm too lazy to think. I bought it mainly not to wash my cars but to wash off the mold or mildew in my drain and on other things in front of moi house. I like to have things that make my life easy and I do not like to borrow them. That's why I have more than 1 car since I do not like to borrow anyone's car when one of my cars go for its scheduled service. Hardware store is a heaven for me. I wish I had all the machines or gadgets in the hardware store even though I might not know how to use them.
