Today, Jason saved me from boring my eyeballs out for lunch. & we got caught in a jam outside & inside Midvalley’s carpark. It’s a blardi Tuesday afternoon; don’t these people have jobs??!! Then we found out that it was J card members’ sale day & we saw scores of people buying what looks like things that they don’t need & would last them 3 lifetimes because it was probably 10 cents cheaper than the normal price, which might have been the best buy to them!
Anyways, we had lunch at this place called Shokudo which serves Thai + Jap fusion food. I was thinking they’ll probably serve Tom Yam sushi or Cricket Tempuras…but I was quite close….they had Tom Yam Udon etc etc etc…. the food was good or maybe I was hungry. Well what ever it is, fusion or not I classify food as yummy or yucky….this one was yummy to me. Some friends who have heard about my cooking would probably tell you that my cooking is only for the adventurous… but those who have tried my cheese wantans survived & always ask for more…
After ranting about the Starlight Cinema for so long, I finally got someone to go with me. I got invites to Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy & I dragged an equally excited Nisha with me. We went early, checked out the booths, got our pictures taken (my face looks distorted & Nish complained her head looks small….so I’m not posting it up!), tried our hand at the games booth…ring tossing, ball throwing & darts…won small gifts (lil notepad & pen). & we waited, & waited & waited for the movie to start. Since it was opening night, we had to wait for the KL mayor to officiate this & that…speeches bla bla bla… then there were performances, comedians, psycho G supposedly spinning (quite obvious it was a playback) & they had Shufflers shuffling to the music.
Finally when the movie started, it drizzled!!! Luckily it was just a few droplets & it stopped after a few minutes. The crowd really came prepared, quite a few came with coolers full of beer, the guys sitting next to us finished a bottle of wine before the movie even started, and some had picnic baskets with crackers & cheese with grapes!! As for the movie, I won’t say much knowing some of you will kill me for spoiling it. I found the movie choppy with lil bits here & there. Marvin the big headed robot is depressingly cute & I still don’t see the significance of the towel! Overall, the movie was silly but entertaining.
I quite like this Starlight Cinema, will probably go again except the movies this year aren’t that enticing. Anybody planning to go? …give me a call :)
Btw, MNG sale starts 22 June…shopping anyone?
