C'est LA viE

Today is definitely a good Saturday for me as this weekend would be long! 

Thanks to the birthday of Sultan Selangor which falling on Sunday (tomorrow) got replacement on Tuesday, and Monday is Propet Muhamad which is another public holiday. Woohoo!!

I really grateful with the long weekend because I do not own any annual leave for now until next year March so public holiday is so much appreciated~

I went to Mid Valley, oops, to clarify, I drove to Mid Valley today! Yeah, finally able to drive by myself to KL, though is not really KL central.

It mayb not something to be boast of, but I had been terrifying to drive to KL because first, i never familiar with the road, 2nd, my waze is not very stable and sometimes i will lost, last, KL drivers really scary~

Initially I planned to take a KTM, but thank god I listened to Karen's advise and chose to drive. 

Arrived very early this morning at the mall, around 9.40am. The traffic was very smooth, and it was actually easy to reach the mall. 

Thought i was very early and the mall must be empty but no, there were already quite many people reached such early!

The christmas decor at Mid Valley was not very massive, but good enough if compared with Pyramid's star wars black xmas tree.

Today plan mainly was to watch the new released Japanese movie <Your Name> with Karen, because both of us love the Japanese culture and so. 

You can check my review of the movie over here, the movie was really good. 

Karen arrvied slightly late, around 11am, Antipodean cafe was packed and we gone to another cafe which i been tempting to pay a visit - Plan B.

I am happy to find out their morning menu contains various type of breakfast and also provide a wide range of vegetarian option.

It is always nice to see some difference, hence I gave up the big breakfast which i normally would order and chose the "Magic Mushroom", come with home-made croissant, scrambled eggs and shimeji mushroom.

The mushroom portion was generous, croissant was also very crispy, only thing i was picky about was the oiliness of the croissant. 

They were doing promotion for the juice range, and i picked 'Elderflower Mint Lemonade", love the rich mint flavor but dont u think it was too sweet?

Anyway, i enjoyed my early meal and was very excited about the movie which we should have watched after the breakfast.

But I was clumsy and stupid enough to book the wrong date, I accidentally bought the ticket which was showing on yesterday!

It was so shameful when the scan bar appeared "show expired", ARGHHH, how could i!

We immediately lined up and wished we could get another ticket, thank god we were able to, but we only could watch at 4.50pm because the movie at 2.30 and 3.20pm had fully sold out!

The movie indeed receive a big welcome in Malaysia too. 

Meanwhile waiting until 4.50pm, we went for shopping, and you would never believe what i had done....

Recently, I had been wanna getting a quality dinner sling bag for myself, and Karen suggested Coach. 

I did not regret listening to her, I just couldnt believe I would spend nearly 2K for a bag!!! OMG, what happened to me!!?

I told myself this would be a gift for me, and the bag would last long. 

First of all, the cross body bag was really attractive to me and immediately caught my eye when the sales lady recommended me. I must said she really had a sweet mouth to able to convince me to get it. 

Uploaded an official product photo because I forgot to capture the photo of the bag!

However, somehow I think I indeed very easy to be persuade which was not a good thing. 

Mainly because of the sales the store was doing, I actually got 20% discount, and also earned extra freebies like this name card pouch and also a customized bag tag. 

Another fact that attract me was the word - LIMITED EDITION, sigh, i was such an easy women. The bag actually belongs to the dinky series which I do not really think it was abdorable. 

Luckily there was no dinosaur enclaved on the bag, only on the name card pouch tho.

If you think this was just the only thing i bought, you were so wrong, we gone to TOMS and I got another pair of shoes. 

Similar like the cross body, I also wish to get myself an alpargatas, a light canvas shoes with good quality,

That;s why I chose TOMS and happenly the shop at Mid Valley was doing some creative activity with the help of the local artists. 

So of cause not to miss it, I chose the classic one with Balsam green in color, and it was also discounted for 10%!

I was actually very hesistate to get the local artist to design it because the pattern they provided was not really something I like.

Moreover the color I picked was dark and hard to match with other color. After a simple conversation with the artist, I trusted her ability and gave it a try.

Guess what, I also was her first customer! She had been sitting at the corner and waiting customer to buy shoes and design but there were no one.

So I am her "god of luckiness" today, because as soon as my purchase, there were more customers when I collected my shoes an hour later. 

Look at this, I am happy with design, it was very authentic and I believe I maybe the only one owning it =P

even got cute design on the back. I actually love the concept of TOMS which they have this concept - ONE FOR ONE

With every pair of shoes customer purchase, they will gift another pair of shoes (usually is boots) to the kids of their giving partners serve. 

You can check for more info here.

We also gone for some dessert before the movie, gone to Hooi Lau San for the mango dessert.

I ordered the mangory platter just by myself because Karen prefer hot dessert. 

I dont think I would visit Hooi Lau San again because i think their dessert was over priced, and not really that good.

Thought this was cake, but it was ice cream as well, but not really appetizing tho.

After the movie, we gone for dinner too.

I wanted to eat bento after watching the Japanese movie LOL, so I picked Manmaru Udon.

I highly recommend this restaurant because their bento was cheap compared with other Japanese restaurant and their portion and variety of side dishes were generous.

The sashimi was thick and very fresh, they were served with ice underneath. I personally really like their konjac side dish, it was well cooked =D 

I spent the full day at Mid Valley today, and my parking bill costed me RM11! Wow, but i did have a good time.

p/s: actually forgot to turn on my gps on my way to home and get a bit lost, thought was the malfunctioning waze again. Sorry, you were doing good today. Luckily I was all good and immediately turned on gps and tho spent a slightly further way to home. But I am still home. =)
