Chinese New Year preparation and shopping

Finally, I got my 2^nd salary incensement since August. However much of the money will be use for Chinese New Year. I gave my mother, decorate the house and get myself a few shirts to be wear for different occasions. I also decided to celebrate birthday my buddy’s birthday which going to arrive soon. As promised, I went had “booked” him a few days earlier (actual day was Thurday due to public holiday).

I woke up early on Saturday morning, so that I can go to 7-Eleven to check whether the cheque has been banked-in. I took out RM500 to get a reload coupon for my Maxis and gave RM300 for my mother for household usage. I informed and smsed Rex that our meeting is on. I got ready soon after.

Before I leave the house, I ate wantan mee made by my mother. After that, I leave and took a bus to downtown. But Rex told me that he has things to do and told me to go to cut my hair first before I meet him at Times Square. The road from Jalan Cheras to Jalan Pudu was so jam and it had delayed my time.

I dropped myself at Majestic bus stop and walked to Pudu Plaza to cut my hair. Initially I just wanted to cut my hair but was persuaded to dye my hair as well. Since I need to dye it later on, I decided to dye it (although I need to waste money on it rather to waste my energy). It took me about 45 minutes to finish the whole thing plus, washing.

When I was finished, I walked to Times Square and meet up with Rex in snooker centre. Since he has a few matches to go, I went around but end up in amusement park. There, I saw one of my students with his girlfriend. With the exchanged tokens with me (RM2), I played a shooting games (forgotten what's the name?). Hmmm... I can improve myself by playing the shooting games too.

I returned to the snooker centre, while Rex finishing his games and went to Low Yat Plaza. He went there because he needs to get stocks of something from his previous company. However, I was told to stay aside during the time, I went to Sungai Wang to get more money and looked for restaurants to eat. Too much of people in Sungai Wang caused many people over-flooded certain restaurants, but I chose Teppanyaki (do not be mistaken with Mr. Teppanyaki).

While waiting for Rex, I encountered many things including a group of Indian tourists just budge-in to the place where I am standing without saying sorry or excuse me [and] a group of Malay youths made jokes about the gods (during a presentation in Sungai Wang) while I was just beside them. I was joined with Rex about half an hour later.

We ate Teppanyaki and yet I ordered the same thing since last time. A main course, drinks, California roll and a Fuji Snow. Almost every time, I wasn't able to finished the Fuji Snow. Since the time has running short, we rushed to get my shopping done and eventually, I asked Rex to leave first because he needed to go home early.

I quickly finish everything and the only thing left is belt. I need a new belt for Chinese New Year. Below are the expenses from Saturday until the current time (1:46 a.m. Monday)
