When out to Star Parade this morning. They are having a PC Fair down in the lobby area so there were already a lot of people even at 11 o'clock in the morning. As soon as we got there, we went our separate ways; Shukri to browse around the PC Fair and me and Nadiah to the electricals section. I needed to but Nadiah a cassette player so she can listen to her kiddie songs (no CDs for her; she would surely get them all scratched!!). All this while she has been "borrowing" Mak Tok (my mom)'s player. So I thought it's time to get her own.
Met up with Shukri and found out that he had bought me a FM Transmitter for my iPod. It's a device where you can plug into any music player and find the frequency on the radio so that everyone can listen to your songs. Been telling myself to get that for ages and has somehow manage not to. Yesterday Shukri saw my wish list on this blog and he must have remembered to buy one for me. Sort of a belated birthday present from him. He..he!! Should let him look more often at my wish list. Maybe he will get me those others on the list as well.. *wink*. I bought another one of the transmitter for my mom so she can also listen to her iPod in the car. But of course, her's is not full of songs like mine is. It's full of Quran verses by her favourite Imam in Mecca.... :D. Now whenever we go on a long distance car ride, the driver (read Shukri) won't pull a long face because the co-driver (read me) is so engrossed in her singing to music only she can hear. Now he's hinting that he's got so many Japanese CDs and would be able to listen to them again (I'm guessing he wants me to download them all for him!!).
Had lunch at McD and came come and "pretend" to have lunch at home. We forgot to tell people at home that we would be eating out and my mom is very particular about that sort of thing. At home, if we are eating out, we must always inform. It's only fair I guess. After all there are 8 individuals in this house and the person who has to cook would have quite a quantity to cook. And if 2, or in this case, 4 (my uncle, G, also went out with us) people decided not to eat in, imagine the food that would be wasted. It's alright if it was unavoidable but we did know that we'll be having lunch outside and still did not inform home. So the least we could do was to sit at the table and nibble here and there.
Around 3pm Shukri had to go out and sign some documents at MAA, so we decided to follow; or rather Nadiah decided to follow and I have to tag along as well. That took only a few minutes to settle so we decided to go and eat rojak buah at Taman Rimba. Nadiah decided to play on the swings and slides so we walked about after her. Actually I hate going to Taman Rimba because it's so dirty. Although the rojak is delicious, the park itself is full of dried leaves and broken playsets that nobody felt the need to clean up or repair. Most of the swing sets are empty or broken. And worst of all is the litter. I don't understand some people. They have this habbit of throwing rubbish everywhere except the bin, which I might add are everywhere in the park. All those soiled tissues and squashed and rotten fruit in transparent plastic bags... yuck!! Plus there were soooo many ants: big ones, small ones, red and black. Eeeuiiii!!! I hate bugs especially cockroaches!! I'm not a nature-out-in-the-wild kind of person (though I was in the Girl Guides in school!). I get really squimish at times and absolutely freak out if I feel bugs roaming around on my skin. Thank God when we decide to go after about 15 minutes Nadiah was agreeable.
Back home Nadiah had a dip in her little pool in the bathroom. That was fun: water splashing everywhere and poor Baba has to clean them up (it was his idea so he has to do the job..*grin*). The rest of the day we just lepak and watch TV a little and by 8.30pm Nadiah is out like a light. I must say this is very early for her so I reckon she will be up again around 11pm and God knows what time she will be off to bed again. In the mean time, I'm taking this chance to update and browse. Have a nice weekend everyone!!
