MIHAS !!

Sunday was quite tiring. Woke up early, *that's a rare occurance now* and drove to Kuala Lumpur with my parents. Destination , Mines International Exhibition and Convention Center , to attend the 1st Malaysian International Halal Showcase. I was the designated driver, so got dragged out of bed at 8:00 by my mum. The original plan was to be on the road by 8:00 but yours truly couldnt get up, what with all the excitement of Liverpool vs Tottenham as well as Akedemi Fantasia's final concert the night before, i only crawled into bed at around 2:30 am. I know, i know, should have gone to bed earlier since i knew i had to wake up early, but adrenaline kept me awake, not to mention nicotine :-) so what's a guy supposed to do. I could have popped a sleeping pill, but then, they arent good for your health and i would probaby be unwakeable the next morning....

So, contrary to our initial plan, we only left home at 9:15 but before you guys start blaming me for being late, let me tell you, i was ready by 8:30, we could have gone by then but me mum wasnt ready yet. Women need longer to get ready, so, it wasnt completely my fault you know. The whole time, dad was grumbling out loud about being late and all the usual stuff, with dirty looks thrown in for good measure. The funny thing was, it seemed exclusively directed in my direction, i wonder why, hehehehe :-)

On the way to kl, we stopped at the tapah R&R for some breakfast, dad's got gastric, so cant go without food for too long...after filling our tanks (as opposed to the cars fuel tank) we continued the journey to the capital, Kuala Lumpur. We reached at about 11:15 am and along the 2 hour journey from Ipoh to Kuala Lumpur the main topic of converstaion was.... Akedemi Fantasia 2, specifically the final and the finalist. Amboi, mula lah, yang ayah backing yang lain, mak yang ini, yang itu. peergh, sampai 2 jam topik yang sama, lama tu... pok pek pok pek sembang, akhirnya dah sampai ler kat mines...

In Mihas, went my separate ways at first, just walking around and browsing through the stalls/booths set up. It was huge.... (first time masuk miecc) After exploring and eating loads of free samples hehehe, rejoined my mum to find that she had already started to engage in her favourite activity SHOPPING! Hehehehehehe, i probably shouldnt nag, coz its her hard earned money and all but it always semms she is buying things. Somethimes she can get carried away and start buying things right and left which in the end, end up not being used. Well, she had already started, and when i reached her, was promptly despatched to the car with her new purchases to unload into the car so that she would not have to lug them all around. See what i mean, she was in one of her moods, so started following her around, trying to do some damage control... when im around, she'll ask my opinion and ill go like ummm, aaa, nice, but dont u have something like that already? and sometimes she'll go yeah, i have something like that, and she will move on to other things. Im not saying this works everytime, but it works sometimes. If she really has her heart set on something, mum will probably buy it, no matter what other people say. I remember that flourescent green... but i digress, hehehe.

It was while browsing with mum that i called em, we were smsing before this and she said she was free, so dropped her a call. We talked, she asked what i was doing, told her, escorting my mum shopping, then she asked what my mum bought and at what price, told her, then kena ngomel, katanyer boleh dapat murah lagi ler, design t'gannu lagi best ler hehehehe. Was nice talking to em, even though we couldnt meet. Anyway, we stayed there till around 5:00 then started back home... alhamdulillah selamat sampai di Ipoh pukul 7:30 petang.
