My adventures!

Greetings!

Oh no, I discovered an accidental lovecurrentobsessionfunfunfun! Yada yada yada. You get the picture?

Its this Harry Potter game on Facebook called School of Wizardry!

Just when things are going to start being alot busier in uni.

*gulps*

Vow to self: Shall not be distracted.


This is not the main topic of this post, however. Just a short digression.

I am here to tell you about my mini adventures yesterday. It might not come across as being well, adventurous to you select few out there but the adjective adventurous suffices for me.

SATURDAY

The morning plan: To go to Legal Practice workshop in the morning from 9-12 instead of the afternoon one from 1230-1530.

Reason: The Career Fair cum Convention thingy in Universiti Malaya which Evon and I planned to go earlier that week. Adeline decided to skip the Fair.

This was our very initial plan. So we attended class in the morning. Walked out from the Residence. Saw two girl classmates walking to Wisma HELP (approx. 15 minutes away). Decided against taking the taxi, hence walked to uni.

Was a mini adventure. Road was mildly busy and mind you, the roads are really wide so we had to literally run across every single one. Thank Heavens for traffic lights, really.

Reached at 905am. Went up to Miss Mariette who was busy taking attendance. Gave a short explanation on why we were attending the morning session rather than afternoon. Got told that we have to inform her beforehand that if we want to changing the week's workshop. Hmm, new news to the ears. :/

Class went fine. Munched on my oat cookies for the first quarter of it. Had two mini breaks. Found out many new things about life in practice and the harsh reality that comes with it.

Class ended at 12 noon. Kah Ling said to eat lunch together. But the surrounding area is pretty much dead and boring on weekends. After much deliberation, we decided on going to Midvalley. Midvalley first, then UM, my mental note.

At Midvalley, Kah Ling and Huey Theng looked at Boss perfumes. Promotion going on. I checked my phone. Got a text from Wai Yi and the essence of the text was... ISETAN MEMBERS PRE-SALE. Suddenly, UM and lunch slipped of the mind a bit, became a distant memory (I absolutely love Isetan sales and try not to miss any when I am in KL). Shopping became first on my agenda and Adeline's as well.

But we have to satisfy them hungry mouths, hence, lunch at Little Taiwan. Had fried dumplings and pearl milk tea. Was mildly surprised that they were actually rather filling.

After the hearty meal, Kah Ling and Huey Theng left for home; Adeline roamed around Midvalley to wait for her parents' arrival; and Evon and I left for UM. We opted to go by bus, being the cost-savvy student that we are. Hurhur.

Bus arrived surprisingly fast, in mere seconds after we stepped out of the mall. Yay. Increased frequency, perhaps. Bus trip to UM costed RM1 and lasted for about 10 minutes or less. Very short route.

Arrived at Universiti station. Was told that I would have to walk some distance to get to the Uni but was consoled when told that the Law School is near the entrance that we were going to head to.

Mini adventure part 2 comes in. Traffic was worst at that time. Lunch hour, peak period, you name it. Had to run faster this time. Road was even wider. Sun was sunnier, scorchier and meaner. :( Luckily had Evon, so mini adventure wasn't that bad.

Registered, scanned the area, watched some video, got some freebies, listened to a talk, walked a bit, sat down at the benches, ate a cupcake and a cookie each, visited the richly-and-amply- stocked-library-which-put-HELP-to-serious-shame and called it a day at UM.

Mini adventure part 3 is similar to part 2. Evon and I then parted ways at the Universiti station. I went back to Midvalley for retail therapy and she, to Bangsar station to meet a cousin.

Used the same bus, costed another RM1 (in the good old days, it used to be RM1 for a whole day pass, translation: infinity rides till you get sick of the bus) :<

Reached mall. Adeline was out with parents so I was on my own. Went to a number of shops. Wanted to get this pair of sexy, chunky heels from Charles & Keith but decided against it. My books won the battle, much to spend on them books this month.

However, I didn't leave empty-handed. Restocked my body polish from The Body Shop. Using satsuma now but bought pomegranate instead. It was on sale so it was a good buy. Also bought a lovely dress from Cicada at Isetan for cousin's wedding. *smiles*

In between the two purchases, I walked walked walked. Thank goodness for my Crocs flats. Comfy walking without the annoyance and pain of blisters. Kept thinking about the heels from Charles & Keith. Thought about dinner and called Adeline, who came back to Midvalley with her parents.

Had dinner with Adeline and her parents at a record time of 8+pm (an achievement for me, I usually eat between 530-630pm). Company was good. Her dad was really funny. :) Thanks very much for the dinner!

The day ended at 930pm when we both returned to the Residence. Record: Out from 845am till 930pm. Been a long time since I have done so much walking and taking bus trips.

Will be going for a Japanese lunch tomorrow and movie! Will definitely be a shorter trip. Haha.

Till the next time I update! :D
