Well my darling twin sister, Xuan, proposed a crazy idea of snapping photos of X'mas trees in the major shopping centres of the Kinta Valley. All done on X'mas day. Come on, you have to admit it's a monumental task! I think it's crazy enough for a nice X'mas day, so I latched on to the idea like a leech!
Dear Joe promised Xuan for an outing that day, so he was the unsuspecting follower, and I succeeded in "convincing" (ok, conning) Myen along as the designated driver XD Well actually if given the chance I would drive the whole way, but Myen thinks I'm a road-hazard, so... *shrugs*
Did I mention they were completely clueless about our little treasure hunting? Yes they were conned into following us two crazy girls around Kinta Valley. You should see the looks on their faces when we kept on announcing "Next destination!!"
It was a crazy ride, sorta like our very own "Amazing Race - X'mas Edition". Xuan was our cameraman; I was the backup (I think); Myen was the driver; Joe was just along for the ride. Xuan and I even planned the whole route the previous night, complete with Estimated Time of Arrivals and mealtimes! That's how ambitious we were!
9:00am Xuan arrived at my house. Took off in Xuan's adorable car for Myen's house. It's a manual car, so I couldn't drive.
9:30am Reached 1st Sucker - Myen's house. 2 minute upon reaching, we found out he was still sleeping = = Afterwards we switched to driving Myen's car. I was denied my driving privilege because I was labelled "Road Hazard". (I didn't do anything!)
10:00am Reached 2nd sucker - Joe's house. Take off!
10:30am 1st destination: The Gardens (Breakfast at Kenny Rogers)
1st tree caught!
Myen looking distinguished.
Xuan posing with tree.
11:00 2nd destination: Mid Valley
Very impressive centre court. A lot merrier than The Gardens.
Xuan and me acting silly.
Finally, our group photo! The uncle taking the picture was a bit intimidated by Xuan's pro DSLR XD The picture didn't turn out as good as we expected. The image is blurry and the X'mas tree is missing.
So we had to take another photo of lonely X'mas tree.
Initially we planned to visit KLCC for its famous HUGE X'mas tree (which I saw a couple of days ago. I thought it looked like the tree grew fungus on the top = =) but we were WAY behind schedule. So, we ditched the idea. But we would have gotten lots of X'mas tree photos if we did go T T.
12:00 3rd destination: Low Yat Plaza
And I thought I was taller!
12:15 4th destination: Sungai Wang
Cool X'mas tree!
The centre court.
12:30pm 5th destination: BB Plaza (at least I think it was...)
Hey Joe, nice balls hehe...
1:00pm 6th destination: Pavillion (Lunch at Sakae)
In my opinion, the coolest X'mas tree yet!
And it changes colors!
I've always loved white X'mas trees.
Centre court viewed from the top.
Sakae's own little X'mas tree, looking so dainty. And the food was delicious too!
Unadorned and uninspiring X'mas trees outside Lot 10. What a waste, they could have been so pretty.
By the time we were having lunch in the very comfortable Sakae restaurant, our determination had deteriorated somewhat. We were supposed to visit Times Square, Lot 10, Sunway, 1 Utama, The Curve, Ikea, Ikano, and Cathay next. But...curse you, comfortable and determination-ebbing Sakae, you! We faltered in our task because of your delicious sushis!
It's nice to be able to blame someone else :)
Finally, we closed the day's adventure with ice-cream in KL Central. We thought there was a Baskin Robbins in KL Central. My Baskin Robbins coupon said so. But we were tricked! There was no Baskin Robbins! We had to settle for McDonald's sundae = =. And the parking fee there was sky-high @ @. So not worth it for a McD sundae haha.
All in all, it was a fun experience. Can't wait for the next crazy adventure!
