Outing with Joe & Eunice- Lunch @ Little Vietnam

Went to IMU yesterday to get the documents certified. Luckily Ms. Wong was free. actually a lil pai seh cos always find her to certify stuff only... hehe....

then, eunice and i went to midvalley. we were supposed to meet up with joe for lunch before he leaves (joe's leaving to Sabah this Sunday). walked to THE GARDENS cos we were early... went into Robinssons & Isetan. Overall, not bad lah the shopping mall. Would definitely go there for shopping (when there's Mega sales, lol).
meet up with joe around 12 pm and joe suggested Vietnamese food for lunch. i personally never tried it before cos non of my family members like it. we ended up in Little Vietnam since joe had tried it several times and it tasted quite good.

the appetisers, spring rolls


our drinks, leong fun with longan

joe's main course: beef stew with rice

eunice n i ordered this: cold vermicelli

the lunch was really nice and i would definitely go back again....

later after lunch, we went down to Jusco, wanted to look for cologne but ended up playing the arcade games. we tried the drum machine & joe managed to try train driving as well. muahaha...
after that, we headed to the top floor for bowling. oh, my first time bowling lah n i totally sux at it. of course, i scored the lowest points lah... hehe....
hmm, sounds like i'm the one who's leaving and trying to try all the new things....woohoo~

PAVILION

The newest shopping mall in KL, Pavilion.....

Went to Lot 10, Isetan today, so tot of checking out Pavilion....
Seriously, nuttin much. I mean, there's actually like nuttin there yet lah. So, advisable to go there some time later when most of the shops/boutique has open.
Front view of Pavilion. The left & right side of the building is still under construction.

The concourse area. There was a fashion show at tat moment. When the construction work's done, it seems that Pavillion can be connected to the KL Convention Centre via a bridge. Not bad eh...

After walking for a while, we went & hunt for food. Not much eateries r open yet. We decided to give this a try.






The interior of this jap restaurant.


Overall, the food was ok-ok lah.....

From my personal point of view, I might prefer KLCC to Pavillion lah... prob cos it was just a soft opening. Shall check it out again when most of the boutiques are open...

So, what's the next newest shopping place to check out??

It's gotta be THE GARDENS...... shall see if i've got time to "hang kai kai" or not....

P.S Anyone else who got Selangor for posting??

Shopping TIME!!





Hello guys! Havent been blogging for quite a while. Hmm... everyone has been asking on MSN, 'so, what r u doing at home everyday?'.... well, i say 'BUMMING'. hahaha...

I suddenly miss Glasgow. Actually there's only 2 things that missed; the weather & shopping. Seriously, there's no way in KL or PJ whereby we could reach the shopping places by foot. EVerywhere u go, u need to drive there. Unlike back in Glasgow, if u feel like shopping, u can just walk there lah. On top of that, i miss brands like H&M, Primark & Debenhems. Always got good bargains over there. Sigh, I wanna shop in Glasgow, can?
Anyway, I've been loitering around at shopping complexes these days lah. Like those kiddies who doesnt like to go to school & prefer wasting their time at the fully air conditioned malls, yeah, I'm one of them now.
The only difference is that I really have nothing better to do.
Can someone kindly tell me what should I do while waiting to be posted?

Oh ya, btw, still havent got my posting letter yet. ('.')"'

Oh, so back to shopping malls, when u've got nothing to do, u surely go into those shops and check out their baju lah...

Then go fitting room n try try see nice or not lah....

Then somehow the baju will say "bring me home or u'll regret it".

And without u realising it, u're already at the cashier paying for the baju.

When u go home only did u realised that several pieces the blueish notes in your wallet has vanished.

Muahaha....

The above are some of the stuffs that i've got probably few weeks ago... Baby tee, some socks, a bag, earings & a dress. Btw, the dress was from the flea market at The Curve. Only costs RM 40. I think it's kinda worth it lah.... The uncle very nice & friendly summore let me bargain. It was originally RM 50....Hehehe...

Uncle, "sang yee heng loong".... MUahaha....

Focus Point optical @ Ikano SUX!

I think this story is kinda beneficial to most of us especially those involved in fields which provides services to their customers.

Went to the above optical shop this afternoon. Brought along 6 boxes of my Acuvue one-day disposable contact lens there as well. Had a feeling that my power has changed and hence would like to get the lenses changed.

My understanding was as long as the lens havent expired (my expires in 2011), then i'm allowed to change.

Actually those lense were bought & sent to me to Glasgow by my parents lah. They've bought them several times from the Ikano outlet as well as the Focus Point at 1 Utama. So, frankly speaking, they cant ingat those 6 boxes are fr which outlet but we still have the receipts from both outlets.
So, we went to the counter and ask the shop asst if we could change lah. He checked the receipt and say:

FP (Focus Point): Oh, the receipt is from 1 U outlet lah, so we cant change.... u must go back to that outlet & change lah

We: (Trying to explain that we cant ingat those lens r fr which outlet cos we did buy from both outlets before lah...) By any chance can u check from the bar code of the boxes whether if these stocks r from ur outlet?

FP: cannot lah...

Me: ( I'm like WTF! if u cant scan the bar code n check fr the PC, then what is the bar code for???)

FP: u see, u bought them when they were having promo of BUY 5 FREE 1... so one side of the flap from each box has been cut off lah... so we cant check the stock.

Me: (But there's no code number or anything on that flap except for the power n expiry date??? & again whats the bar code for?? perhiasan??)

So, the guy made my parents talked to another gal with the surname of TE_ (last alphabet is left anonymous)

TE_: Even if we can change for u , u need to wait lah... cos ur flaps are gone.... so we cant change our stock those with flaps for u lah. We gotta chage it with the dealer.

Parents: When FP is having promo, nothing was mention abt this 'not-being-able' to change thingy.... u only told us that as long as it hasnt expire, then can change... Now when wanna change, so 'ma-fan'....

TE_: dunno lah... it's memang like that... i've just changed for another client 4 boxes. summore because the flap of ur box is gone, u cant get the new ones in box ya... it's gonna be in loose form.

Mom: WHAT???!!??? here got 6 boxes(6x30=180)... so, we'll have 180 lens in plastic bag ar???

TE_: YES!

Me (standing at the counter): excuse me Mr, can i have the number of Johnson & Johnson (Acuvue is under Johnson & Johnson) ar?

The Mr: erm, can. but why ar?

Me: i wanna change these lens lah, but ur collegue say cant, summore in loose form. So, I thought i might as well deal directly with Johnson & Johnson loh.

Then, that b*tch a.k.a TE_ came towards the counter.

TE_: Give lah.... she wanna complain. Let her complain lah

I was farking pissed off at that time. What kind of blardy attitude is that???

Me: Excuse me! Why are accusing me?? I just wanna enquire further with Johnson & Johnson regarding this silly & troublesome way of exchanging the lens. When did I say I wanna complain??

TE_: ENQUIRE & COMPLAIN IS THE SAME!

Me: Enquire & complain is TOTALLLY DIFFERENT!! (I feel like bringing a dictionary and throw it to her)

We've got the phone number & i cant tahan & complained to the other guy Lawrence saying that I'm kinda pissed off with your colleuges attitude lah. What enquire & complain is the same???

The main mistake I'm trying to point out is the attitude of that gal. We, customers do not know how those dealer policy work lah & have no interest as well. in fact, it's not the customers duty to know abt it too. these kinda things involving the dealers should be dealt between the optical shop n dealer mah.

And when we asked for the dealers phone number, u as a professional optician/service provider should stopped us from doing that & tried your best to help us settle the prob mah. U think it's a very nice thing for customer to deal with the dealer meh? if we customers need to deal directly with the dealer, WHAT R U FOR?? for display??

being an optician, u're job's not just to sell frames & lens only lah. i think u should also provide good services mah. this kinda after-sales-service is kinda horrible lah. We walked away.

Then we went to the FP at The Curve cos my dad had his sunnies done over there & got some prob lah. So, the optician adjust a bit of the frame & everything ok liau. Then my dad asked her abt the lens lah... like we bought fr other outlet, the flap is gone, so can change o not lah. Guess what did the gal do??

the gal name Estee actually called the dealer. The dealer say can change even not bought from that outlet but must wait 3 weeks lah cos no stock. SUMMORE, they will come in BOXES!!!

U tell me lah, Focus Point at Ikano lousy o not???

Miss TE_, u dun even have the initiative to call up ur dealer & check n see whether can change and get them in boxes or not. Why others can help & u cant? Meaning, ur not efficient enuff lah.... summore damn LCLY there. Cheh!
