Due to a last minute decision, Alan and I decided to watch Knowing at The Gardens after my tuition on Friday evening. We bought tickets for the 935pm show and after my class, hurried to the mall.
We settled for the Japanese restaurant as a venue for our dinner. And had sushi, sliced beef soba (and udon) , pot stickers etc for dinner.
Knowing was eerie and interesting but the ending failed to impress. Nicholas cage has slimmed down somewhat and his face looks as long as a horse's. ahaha

I wanted to spend the day out today so we left the house at around 11+am.
First was a teochew porridge lunch at Pudu. I hadn't been there in a long, long while and it was refreshing to have such a simple yet tasty meal. We ordered long beans, minced meat, salted vege, chicken and of cos pig's intestines and shared 3 bowls of porridge between us. Oh yah... we had a bowl of old yellow cucumber soup as well. The damage? Hardly painful RM21.80!
We headed by chance to Pavilion next and decided to catch takeshi in action in K-20. That was the 220pm show and so we walked around before that and looked at very expensive furniture in XZQT and roamed two small art galleries. we have made up our minds to invest in a Coplu painting. I had seen a couple in Singapore once in Raffles City gallery and fallen in love with it and Alan said he would buy me one. The assistant in the gallery has promised me to email me the catalogue by next week. :)
K-20 is a Japanese action movie - something like Zorro, Batman and Spiderman all rolled into one. Rather entertaining but with a relatively predictable plot. Well, Takeshi is worth watching. He hasn't aged at all and looks delectable even in rags. :)~~
After the movie, we hopped on to Sungei Wang to visit Alan's Best Friend's Shop to pick up more of our staples. :) The time flew by and it was 645pm when we headed to Jalan Imbi (ard the corner) for our dinner.
We had our delicious meal at the Shabu Shabu restaurant along Jln Imbi. Inexpensive and interestingly yummy. There was a whole 'buffet' of sauces for us to choose from as our dips. (e.g. tom yam, thai chilli, pickled cabbage, minced beef sauce, sliced red chilli padi etc etc)We ordered many types of balls (prawn/ fish/ sotong/etc), beef slices, pork slices, mutton slices, pigs blood (for Alan), pigs kidney (for Alan), fish maw. I had my soup base to be the pepperish pigs intestines and salted vege soup and Alan chose a healthier pork rib and corn soup base. Because our combined orders were above Rm50, we were entitled to a fish / prawns / crab dish for only Rm1. we chose the pomfret. Our drink was a jug of chilled watercress and waterchestnut and carrot drink. Very delicious but it reminded me of soup. hahaa.
All in all, we spent Rm90 but went home grinning from ear to ear. haahha.

We just sent Coco and Jay Jay for lessons and then brought them to Dog Groomz for their monthly grooming session. The girls working there and who own the shop are a friendly and caring bunch.. Very professional and very concerned about the pets. :) It is a gem we have found whilst roaming kuchai lama maju.
I am at home now - Alan is fighting monsters on PS3 and I will need to commence on my lesson preparation asap. I have MANY classes lined up for the next two weeks and that will take the bulk of my days.
