Mel’s 2 night stay - day 1
Friday nite felt dead tired after the Zouk event. Had Mel welcomed into the house. She’ll be sleeping over at an empty room as she’ll be attending to an interview from UiTM in Shah Alam on her offer to study Mass Comm. Began unpacking her stuffs while I rested for a while before taking my bath. As each other settled down, I started unloading all the goodies hitz.fm & STAR World presented each of us earlier on. There’s a school bag with hitz.fm logo, a toiletry bag courtesy of Eccentric-Events (part of the organisers), hitz.fm frisbee, a wristband, a XS Zouk t-shirt, STAR World CD casing and a stack of disposable coasters. I gave most of the stuff to Mel, keeping for myself were both the bags and the CD casing. We chatted for hours in the room, planning what to do tomorrow. Watch movie; we argued over the fact what to go for Milla’s Ultraviolet or a horror show - When A Stranger Calls. Well, had to let the gal win hehe.
Both of us slept till afternoon when mum woke me up about 1pm (yeah, how early was that LOL). We’re supposed to find out where UiTM is located in Shah Alam for Mel’s interview on Mon. Took brunch and mum took the wheel. After passing Shah Alam’s toll, we started looking out signboards leading us UiTM. We missed the first turning..which I’m pretty sure was also the way to Sri Pentas therefore we waited for the next exit to UiTM. In fact, the second exit seemed even closer to UiTM. Managed to find the place easily. Inside the uni, we’re on the lookout for Mass Comm’s office. The uni was so huge it’s not suprising if first comers are definitely prominent to get lost. Asked the guard back the entrance and although he deliberately explained the simplest form there is, we eventually found the faculty for Mass Comm. With just an A4 paper stuck to slanted signboard by the side, I doubt all who were looking noticed it…sheesh. Went to the office and facing right in front of the door were the entire name list of students slated to be interviewed the following few days. Checked for her name, yup found it, Monday 8.30am.
Done that, mum drove back home first before I took over to head to MidValley. She wanted to do some shopping, as usual LOL. It was already 4pm so we decided to catch the movie first before proceeding to the shopping. When A Stranger Calls was more of a B- horror flick. It wasn’t the gory that kept you in suspense. This high school gal was hired to babysit for a couple who owned a magnificent villa. Well you guessed it lah..villa..where you think it’s located? Then you have the obvious high tech stuffs all over the house, with lots of annoying rooms and spooky corridors. Then the tourment began with numerous mysterious phone calls bugging the hell out of ya, knowing every step you take alone…with the kids asleep upstairs. Shouldn’t reveal anymore, can only say it’s as good as a one-timer watch.
After the show, shopping spree began. Mel wanted to get a tee for her boyfriend so we scanned a through a couple clothing outlets and managed to find one from a sports brand. Then she wanted to get a new watch herself so we checked in Swatch and Watchshoppe but the pricing were totally off her budget. For dinner, we’ve had cravings for Japanese food. She wanted to try out sushi so we settled in at Kiku Zakura. Turned out she didn’t quite like it but doesn’t matter as she’s finally had her first taste of Japanese food. Walked passed a couple of shops until she suddenly decided of getting the bag she had her eyes on earlier at Tropicana Life. It’s already 10pm and when we got back to the shop, the shutters are three quarter down. Maybe we could return here again the next day if she really wanted it.
Left MidValley and I wanted to drop by Paramount’s pasar malam to see if the stalls are still open. Wanna get Guang Liang’s latest album. Ever since they advertised the album on tv, I’m beginning to like the songs. Too late, most of the stalls have already packed up and left. Tough luck, went straight back home then.
