Don't do last minute shopping!!!

Fuuuhhh... Its been a very long and tiring day...

The day started with last minute house cleaning for Chinese New Year which is only 24 hours away. After that I followed my mom to plug my face "bulu". Yea, there are lil hairs growing on my face which I always shave but visible which is why I decided to get rid of it. I did plug my eyebrows as well and I feel a bit wierd looking at myself now. I thought I looked feminine now but others said there wasn't any difference so oh well... I'll leave the judgement to you if you ever get to see me.

Almost half a day gone by then, time to go KL. Now, don't get me wrong, this isn't last minute shopping but more like getting some things done there. There were some problems in the shirts that my dad bought so we went to KL to change it. Unfortunately, me and my mom got caught up in other people's last minute shopping. KL was jam everywhere!!! First we went to Sogo, had my favourite Chicken Cordon Bleu there, delicious!!! then we went to Sg. Wang which I managed to get a new pair of sneakers for myself. Since Times Square is just opposite, we went there to get some stuff. Unfortunately, the shops where already closed.



Its almot 10pm, time to get home. Here is the best part of the day. We were caught up in a terrible jam and everyone was trying to get out of Sg. Wang parking at the same time. Seriously, the car only managed to only move about 5 meters after half an hour and we were in basement 3 and the exit was at basement 1. This is where I started to be impatient like everybody else so I had to maneuver, zig zag around and constantly looking for different roads that can get me out quicker. Its like a rat trying to find and dig a hole out for himself. So it was pretty fun actually, cutting here and there, finding different routes and anticipating on opportunities to get ahead. I'm not saying I'm cutting cue or anything but more like finding shorter paths. Its sort of like competing and trying to out do others. Amazingly, Sg. Wang parking had lots of different different roads so I intelligently found shorter routes and managed my way out of there much much quicker then everybody else. Luckily, I was driving a SLK aka Small Little Kelisa which allowed my to go through tight areas. If I were to drive any bigger car then that, I think I wont even be back here until 12.

Outside was jam as well but fortunately I followed some cars and knew some different roads which allowed my to get back much much quicker. When I think about it now, luckily my dad wasn't around or I will get a lot of nagging in the car for my aggresive driving. Okay, know you will be thinking my driving is dangerous but I can assure you that I did it in a very safe and controlled manner.

Finally, the lesson of the day is, always leave Sg. Wang before 10pm if you're parking there or you're better off getting yourself back into the mall again for another hour until the jam clears.
