Day 2 (28/12 Sunday) - Mid Valley Megamall

I always always try to have Baskin-Robbins whenever I'm in Malaysia. It's funny how we used to have it in Brunei long ago. Bad luck that being a pioneer in food chains in Brunei wasn't a good thing 10 years ago.

Was originally only going to order 2 flavours (Macadamia nuts & cream and Hokey Pokey) but then I saw that they also had Gold Medal Ribbon which had been a childhood favourite that I thought they had discontinued! YAY!

okay sorry, this is more of a shot of me than the ice-cream :3

As the whole megamall was really crowded, we shopped till almost 2pm before having late lunch. We came across The Mod House  by chance. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEIR STORE.  And they loved me too. Lol (I spent quite a bit there). Their changing rooms are really spacious, and they provide high heels so you can see what your outfit looks like with heels. That's really smart since everyone I see walking around here wear slippers/flip-flops/comfy shoes while they shop. Although their clothes cost a little higher than my usual budget, they're worth it because the quality is so good and fit me very well even though some of them are not stretchy.

I'm glad I shopped at The Mod House before having lunch because mum and I totally cleaned our plates at Waku Waku. The food is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. and reasonably priced. The restaurant was quite full even though it was after lunch hour. Their potato salad (not a big fan of potato salad because they usually give me tummy ache) is the best I've ever had that I even took away the side dish to eat later in the night.






Went back to our hotel room for a nap after the very filling lunch in the afternoon! In the evening, we went out to look for dinner.

What happened at night was totally unexpected.

It was a totally unplanned evening with my cousins and Cheeming Boey. In the cousins' group chat on Whatsapp, one of the guys said the Malaysian artist was at his house playing Street Fighter 4 with the Malaysian artist (If you haven't read his largely illustrated books, When I Was A Kid 1,2 & 3, you should! He also writes a blog: iamboey.com. He was the lead animator for Diablo ll and Diablo lll). 

Before this evening, we were fans - not friends - with this pretty awesome down-to-earth artist. 


So the story goes, Boey posted up on his Facebook page looking for someone in Selangor to play Street Fighter 4 with, and my cousin responded and Boey drove over...




Sounds like a troll too ridiculous for anyone to fall for. RIGHT?! 



Turns out it was true hahahaha! 






Another cousin of mine who was staying at UM nicely drove over to my hotel to pick me up and home to Klang just to see Boey...and she's having exams hahahaha!


We all had a supper (incredibly late dinner for me) of roti telur and nasi lemak with him too! As it so happens, the greatest fan among us and who introduced to us his works was the only one not here. But my sister did get a 6 second video addressed to her and an autograph!


Goodnight, guys!

Thanks for reading :)!
