We left early and by 9am we were already driving into Mid-Valley car park. I was extremely excited no doubt looking at the near deserted parking lot and quickly parked the car right in front the entrance's escalator. The reason for that early morning sojourn was that we wanted to check our the Scholastics' Book Buffet promotion. As we were very early, naturally they were not opened yet. However, we got to check out the books there first la and it was decided that although the titles were interesting, Asma really wanted to get hold of Michael Grant's Gone novel (as she already bought the second one in the series and couldn't really understand what's going on... until she reads the first one).
So we decided to lepak-lepak at McD while waiting for the bookshops (mainly MPH) to open. We also took the oportunity to jalan-jalan ke Gardens.
Gardens is as always... more quiet than Mid-Valley. But then the girls found it nice...
... especially when Alia found out that there's a totally kick-ass art store there... can't even remember the name of the store
Then we stumbled upon Borders... woohhoooo (that's me trying lo look cool...)
... but it didn't work out kan? I mean, me trying to look cool.
Anyway, Borders didn't have the book that Asma is looking for.... so
... we made our way back to Mid-Valley and into MPH... where the search continued. The thing was that upon checking with their computer system, the elusive book was stated as available... but even with the help of the good people at MPH, we still could not locate the book.... hrmmmmph! So it was decided then that dah alang-alang keluar ke kota raya, we might as well try our luck at Kinokuniya.... So off we went to Suria KLCC pulak..
... and yes we found the book at Kino finally. Lega. And then we had lunch. Japanese. Nyum...nyum..
The End.

I pity your daughters... you should have more trust.. let them go out on their own and with friends. I read your blog and you look like you think you are a good father... but you are not la. Dont be angry but sometimes the truth hurt. You should learn from other fathers how to be a better father. I thank god I dont have a father like you. And I sure will not be a father like you when I married later
hello mr anonymous,
i'd like to vouch for my uncle, if you don't mind. there is nothing wrong for a father to go out with their daughters. it's like one of those quality times with your parents, which kids need to have nowadays;with the state of world rite now with the social problems. if you actually read the girls' blogs; they do go out with their friends, no parents in tow. this is a family blog, my uncle blogs about what goes on in his family. why wud he blog about what his daughters did with their friends; doesnt make much sense. Personally, i would be ecstatic to go spend a day with my dad and shop. The impression that you're giving right now that when you DO become a father, you're going to be one of those detached ones is it? My uncle just happens to be more emotionally involved and that's a good thing. It shows that he's a loving father. Now, this is not a hate comment or anything, i just strongly disagree with your opinion of my uncle thats all.
Azhar,
Betoi... org lain suka pi tgk wayang bagai... kita suka lompat2 kedai buku.. tapi tu la kan... hanya buku2 yang bukan untuk periksa la kan... mcm mana kat sana sekarang cuti summer la sekarang semua orang anak-beranak ya... tak balik Malaysia ke?
