I wonder what happen to the shop in KLCC. Walked past the very spot it used to be a few weeks back. I'm hoping its moved to a bigger premise. Preferably still in the vicinity of KLCC. After a bit, I got distracted with other things.

I want, I need, I must have

Marian Keyes writes well. I opened my mailbox...weeded the spam out and found this update. Wonder how long it will take to come to Malaysia and more specifically to KL.
Every once in a while, you chance across an author who suits your mood. Not easy this. Believe you me, there are a few books stacked on the lower shelf ie the graveyard of books. A slight miscalculation on your part and this is the direct result. You're stuck with a book ....reading past the third chapter is like having your eyebrows tweezed without any lignocaine gel applied. Reading cheers me up no end. My latest aquisition is a set of CDS....( books on tape ) bought at Borders at Berjaya Times Square. In fact, *sheepish smile* I bought two sets. The drive to work is now VERY entertaining. I feel very smug as I smile out to the other folks listening to devil music as I....enjoy the book and drive calmly to and fro work.

What a nice way to spend Saturday afternoon

Two Saturdays back, I ventured to Ampang to attend a wedding. No major hiccups, we found ourselves arriving in good time. A intricate relationship.....the bride was my houseman, and her mother a nurse at the ward I once worked in. We met the usual bunch of people, from work. I must say the weather was extremely nice. Clouds loomed over us, which gave the day a little break from the hot breeze which enveloped us earlier.

The bride looked very nice, as all brides should. What this wedding had was an air of family closeness. One doesn't always sense such an atmosphere. The bersanding ceremony finally started after I had squeezed myself into a little corner and had my legs tucked under in an incredibly lady-like fashion. Quite a feat for my legs. They behaved impeccably that afternoon. After a bit, we heard the kompang drumming sound and lo and behold, the couple arrived and sat down. The bride's younger brother was in charge of keeping the groom sweat-free. This he did in such a manner, one would have thought part of the epidermis would come off as well. Instead of dapping ( as all sensible people would ), he cheerfully opted for the more drastic..and more effective way of removing all semblance of sweat from brow. And when that task was over, he promptly started on task number two of the day ie keeping the groom cool.
