Jalan-jalan

I went to pasar malam with Joan and her friends last evening.

Oh ya.. There was a briefing session from Mr Toh (the manager of MC management) to us about the future of MC last evening and we were there before leaving for pasar malam.

Well, there have been rumours saying that MC has been sold to MAHSA (a nursing college) and all of us will be driven out anytime. So everyone is busy searching for new place to stay. Everything is in chaos.

Mr Toh assured us that it is not going to happen. In fact, they are doing a joining venture with MAHSA. Block A of MC will be transformed into their campus building where there will be auditoriums and classrooms in Block A. As for Block B (the block that I am staying now), the residents will not be driven out. We can stay until we want to move out. They will only allocate new residents (MAHSA students) if there are emptry places when we move out.

So, I can stay until I graduate then =)

Back to pasar malam story... It started to rain a bit when we reached there. So we went to have our dinner first at Chao Yang (a hawker centre). If it really rain, then we will have to leave and go back to MC. But we were very lucky that the rain stopped after a while!

Joan bought a pair of jeans two weeks ago at a stall here but the size is not suitable so she wanted to change for another pair. The stall owner was very rude and he tried to ignore her. So, it's my turn to show my "power". Seeing that there were other customers there, I yelled (actually just slightly raised up my voice) and asked the boss, "Boss, that day my friend bought a pair of jeans from you but the size is not suitable. Can change another one?"

The boss cannot say "NO" as he still have to do business there =p

But he told us that there is no more stocks for the size Joan wanted for the same design. Ok, fine. I told Joan to choose another design. Then the boss told us that another design is more expensive.

"She can pay you back the money if it is more expensive than the one she bought!" I told the boss. (Actually it is just RM2 more expensive la...)

The boss was so reluctant to entertain us. So I turned to her assistant, an Indonesian lady, for the size and design that Joan has just chosen. When asked her about the price, she told us a price which is exactly same with the previous one.

THAT DESPICABLE MAN!!! Trying to cheat money from my friend!? No way!!!

Ok, he is despicable but I am not stupid too. So, we just checked the new one, exchanged it with the previous one, and left. The boss was too busy to talk to us while his assistant did not know about the "pay extra money" thing.

The moral of the story?

• Never buy jeans at pasar malam as you cannot try before buy. And it is very troublesome to change if the size is not suitable.


• You have to raise up your voice when deal with the stall owners in pasar malam, especially if you want a change or refund or whatever. Otherwise they will bully you terribly.


• You have to ask the price again and again (at least twice, from different people handling the stall if possible) tomake sure that you are not cheated.

I went to Mid Valley with ML this afternoon for some grocery shopping. I finally have the chance to go jalan-jalan after such a long time. Yea yea yea.. I am very happy for it.

But we found that the Jusco after renovation is not that shopping-friendly to me. I think that is because we haven't get used with its new layout and arrangements.

We went to MPH and read some cooking books there. There are books named The Bible of Cakes, The Bible of Cookies, and also The Bible of Pastas. Cute names!! I am also interested in the recipes about potatoes and eggs. There are a great variety of dishes which can be prepared from potatoes and eggs, respectively. I am going to try some when I am back at home.

I bought a lot of things at Carrefour, including the thing on the shopping list of my roommates. Errr... Spent quite a lot again...

I think that I have been sitting in room for too long. I felt VERY tired and also great pain at my feet and shoulder after a short while of shopping. Ya, I think that these are the symptoms of lacking exercise...

I bought cabbage and eggs. I am going to cook maggi with them, not forgetting some egg sandwiches too! I am really bored with eating the same thing at the foodcourt downstairs.

It's weekend again. I really have to study very hard for the next exam on Geology. I might fail this paper anytime if I don't prepare well for it. This not something play-play...

Ganbatte~!
