Between cat, rabbit and hamster....


I was at Taman Tun Dr Ismail yesterday evening. We had dinner at Restaurant Ismail, one of our favorite restaurants. It was not crowded, but during the fasting month, you need to make a reservation; otherwise, there will be no place to sit.

They are famous for their beriyani. In fact, yesterday the beriyani was finished, and we have to order nasi Bukhara for ahem… me. Evethough, it was for me, it was shared with four others. Everybody was eyeing for it, but I have no problem to share with them.

After dinner, we went to Masjid At-Taqwa for Maghrib prayer. It is one of the richest mosque that I know of. When we reached there, the mosque is under renovation. As we looked for parking, we saw two kittens near the drain. One is gray, and one is orange. Very cute, and my kids were so excited to see the kittens.

The kittens’ mother was nearby, but the area where they were crawling was dark. We were very concerned that someone might run over them. I asked Syafiq to send the kittens and their mom to the nearby canteen, but the kids had different ideas. They wanted to take both kittens home.

I like the idea, but, unfortunately, their dad ruled it out. On the way out from the mosque, the kids kept throwing the ideas to their dad. The kids said cat, hubby proposed rabbit or hamster. For me, I like cat too, but I let them debate with their dad. The kids kept on listing the benefits of keeping a cat as the pet.

We reached 1Utama, our main destination, and we didn't reach any decision on the pet yet. During dinner tonight, they brought the subject of the cat again, but hubby was not there. Hmmm... Don't know when they will get their pet.

Oh ya! Look at this signboard that I saw at 1Utama. ‘WTF’, and whoever came out with the signboard was a genius as it caught the shoppers’ attention. Heeheehee..What were your first impression when you see that? 

Oh ya! Fasting starts tomorrow, and I would like to wish all my Muslims friends, Selamat Menyambut Ramadhan Mubarak....

Salam.

Disappointed!

I went shopping yesterday at 1Utama but I was disappointed because the Jaya Jusco at 1Utama was closed for renovation. We didn’t know they are under renovation as we seldom go to 1Utama. That’s is one place that I will try to avoid during weekends or public holidays because it’s always crowded and parking is a nightmare there.

Since Jaya Jusco was closed, we went to Parkson, which was on the other building,  to get something for the kids. For me I was looking forward to go to the MPH bookstore to get some of my books.

Again I was disappointed because I can’t find the books that I want. All three books that I wanted were not available.  My hubby, who wanted to buy the latest autobiography book on Dr Mahathir was also disappointed because it was out of stock.

From 1Utama we went to IKEA. This time we were not disappointed. Hubby wanted to buy table for the fixed line phone. We found what we were looking for and at the same time, I also found my study table which we didn’t plan to buy. But I'm glad I did because I can do my work from my room now. No more sharing with Zaki or Zara.

By the time we finished shopping, it was already 8.15pm. Before we went back, we bought a dozen of curry puff and the kids love it very much. In fact, every time we went to IKEA, curry puff will be always top in their list.

On the way back, in the car, hubby reminded the kids that their hands were dirty and not to touch anything. And then my cute 7 years old son replied. “Your hands are dirty too, ayah. Please don’t touch the steering.”

Hubby was speechless with Zaki’s replied and for me, I just smiled.
