The weekend was not planned for but things just happened and it turned out to be a tiring but time was well spent.
Saturday morning involved dragging the Scandinavian Prince to go see the dentist to have his tooth extracted - he had developed an infection for which the dentist had erlier given him five days worth of antibiotics to reduce the swelling and pain to ensure a smooth extraction.
However the scheduled extraction did not take place and the Prince continues to feel the slight pain whenever he consumes cold water and other frozen food.
Then, after eons of not having had the opportunity to wake up to a lazy Saturday and have the typical Malaysian breakfast of nasi lemak I finally had the chance to live the 'dream Saturday' by having nasi lemak at Kausi Restaurant in Bangsar Baru in the heart of Kuala Lumpur.
Soon after breakfast it was lunch time. The Prince and I religiously followed my brother Suresh Ramasamy and wife Ms. Boo to have lunch at Wangsa Maju - it was generous helping of banana leaf rice with ample vegetables and fried chicken. Now that my tummy was so full that I felt I was about to burst, we reached my brother's apartment and I took a cool shower in the hot afternoon. Ideally, the shower would help me sleep well in such weather but we had a different agenda for the day.
While I took a sneak to the shower, the Prince helped himself to a short nap and the couple watched Austin Powers while trying to figure out where the Unilever warehouse sale was taking place in Subang. We didn't have much luck in tracing the address of the warehouse sale but we did something more exciting.
Once done with my refreshing shower, the four of us headed to Klang's Indian town to have a look-see at the Deepavali goodies on sale. Clothes were the biggest attraction but my sister-in-law (SIL) Ms. Boo did manage to buy a few stainless steel kitchenware goods for the house.
We basically strolled along Jalan Tunku Kelana while passing by the many outlets showcasing the latest sarees, salwar kameez, lenghas, kurti tops and other traditional outfits that are specially imported from India for the festival of lights that is scheduled on November 11, 2004.
At one end of the road, the four of us discovered a shop which appeared like it was just open for business recently and boy, did they have a good bargain that was reasonable. The outlet had many beautiful traditional Indian outfits for both male and female that was on sale at 50% discount price. We didn't buy much as Suresh was rather tired and wanted to return to Kuala Lumpur so that he could go for his weekly pasar malam vegetables and fruits shopping. SIL Boo bought a blouse and I got myself two - it was a good bargain to say the least. The Prince and Suresh got new bath towels at a cheap rate.
On reaching Suresh's home at about 8pm, I quickly showered again and got ready to meet Prince and head to the temple. That is our Saturday evening routine that we try to fulfill every week but this time it was a rushed prayer since the temple was almost closing when we were finishing our prayers.
After temple, the Prince and I headed to the SS2 food court in Petaling Jaya to buy dinner for us and the couple who were resting at home - Suresh, Boo and I had prawn noodles while the distinguished Prince had his favourite Penang char kway teow. We had dinner close to midnight and proceeded to watch a Tamil movie on VCD. And the day ended with each of us feeling extremely tired, looking back at the unplanned activities that we did for the day:-)
