We learns a new term today: person of leisure! 'Twas termed such by Wen Fen and (as I just read it just now) commented by Sushi!
Anyways. Had to get up early today (and had gone to bed at 5am yesterday whatmore) to ferry the mum around. First stop, TTDI market (sis wants curry powder) followed by the Touch n' Go office at Taman Desa. Good thing we brought the Game Boy along or we'll be sleeping in the car. Detours home include stopping by SS2 for currypuffs (lunch - 1 currypuff) and fruits and then more fruits and groceries.
Afternoon chauffeur duty saw us going down to Klang, mainly to collect back mum's car. But first, Wednesday's Klang pasar malam. To be honest, I feel like I don't belong in Klang anymore. Yeah, so I haven't been staying there for near 2 years now but 2 years is such a short period, whatmore Klang being only half-hour's drive from TTDI. Methoughts the pasar malam was still at the roundabout heading towards Chi Liung, but it's been shifted to the Grace Assembly Hall area. Suspicion tells me that this already happened while I was still staying in Klang. Talk about short memory (quote Kenny/Aaron, "Oblivious to the surroundings").
I feel bad to say it, but Klang really has become an eyesore! Look at Persiaran Raja Muda Musa (main road leading from Klang town into Klang housing areas and onwards to Port Klang, for them not in the know)! Is a flyover being built? I see traffic diversion blocks all over, like zippers all over the place! Why? WHY? And constructions, or more specific, singular construction in a totally devoid area. So far only framework. All else, grass. Just like the area around MGS. New buildings all over and not a pretty sight. On a side note, there's a 7-Eleven opposite La Salle now! Just need to wait for a Ramlee burger stall to pop up to make it an authenthic 7-Eleven branch.
Got back up home around 4-ish and starving. Satisfied our cravings for jelly by dropping by Burger King/Dunkin Donuts for a peanut butter and jelly donut and a raspberry (yummy) donut, followed by onion rings and drinks at BK. Note to self: 20 munchkins at RM8. And 2 calls regarding our interviews: one from Pharmaforte telling us to have a letter from our neurosurgeon handy, and Abbott telling us we've got a second interview. Hooray!
Wen Fen invited us for a movie screening at UM! Her bait line in her text was "supposedly v gud chinese/french collaboration.at UM". Turned out to be an artsy Chinese film made by a Chinese director living in France. 'Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress.' 'Bout 2 bourgeois kids being sent to some village for re-education during Chairman Mao's time. Thank goodness the show was apolitical or else would have slept through it, whatmore it being shown in a lecture theater and we'd experience sleeping in lecture theaters before.
Thankfully we'd the Naruto movie to erase artsy film. And saving the Earthsea DVD for another night. Person of leisure waits for payday tomorrow to really, really enjoy leisure.
