Wesak Day - May 28, 2010
Well, our "rock-'n-roll" holiday was wonderfully relaxing. Dennis and I decided that it will be our new definition of "rock-'n-roll" - a day at the mall. He woke me up of course to get ready to "rock-'n-roll" because we leave at 9:30am. He took me to Mid Valley Megamall, it was my first time there and I was not disappointed at all. They call it the most sensational shopping mall in Kuala Lumpur and by golly it is! They have everything - economical, pricey, and exorbitant! (By the way, those are the three new words I taught my class yesterday - and I shall introduce 3 words each time we meet.) We had a wonderful time watching a Walt Disney movie "Prince of Persia: Sands of Time", 'window' shopping (it doesn't hurt to buy here a little and there a little - hehe!), and food of course!
First of, the movie "Prince of Persia: Sands of Time". One great thing about Malaysia is that when you go to movies, you don't fear watching inappropriate movies. When it is, the government will not make any reservations cutting even half of the movie's original content. Anyhows, they didn't have to with this Jerry Buckheimer's movie. It is action-packed movie full of mystery. It is very appealing I think for young and old alike because its mythical (you can never go wrong with a little magic), action-filled adventure, you have a dashingly handsome prince that used to be an orphan but is a "King in spirit", a headstrong princess that despite being a damsel in distress stood by her principle and her destiny, an unlikely villain, the message that family, love, and respect are bonds that can withstand evil, the idea that time is one continuous round and that our life is intertwined. I really enjoyed the movie and the CARAMEL POPCORN - gotta love Malaysia movie theater for their delightful caramel popcorn, it was "rock'n'roll"!
We went "jalan-jalan" after movie and lo and behold, Rebook, Speedo, Puma, Adidas, etc are on sale! Yes, peeps check it out - they have a lot of price mark down like a Speedo swimsuit that cost about RM 99.00 and you can buy it for only RM 12.00!!! And then to make things even more exciting, especially for me - Body Shop is on SALE - 50-70%! Gotta love Malaysia's Mid Year Sale.
Food - oh yes! Dennis took me to "Dome" where I had grilled fillet of fish marinated with cajun spices, cumin and lemon juice and Dennis had some spaghetti with creamy garlic seafood sauce. We had chocolate milkshake and spearmint shake to wash it off. It was a bit pricey but I have to say the grilled fillet of fish was juicy and the creamy prawn with hollandaise sauce was mouth-watery. It was delicious! The pasta was delicious too but oh boy, the fish was unforgettable. I am so grateful for food! And to make the meal even better, Michael Buble and George Clooney was there. I couldn't resist it, I have to take a picture.
The best part of our Wesak Day is listening to 80's music in the car while D is driving safely - and I mean really really safe. I'm with a wonderful man who would never compromise safety; a man that only made one great risk in his life - marrying me! To dearest D.... kudos to a well spent "rock-'n-roll" date... let's go swimming tonight? ;)
