KL Trip - Blossoming Gardens

I woke up at 8:30 in the morning of the third day in KL to the feeling of hotness and stuffiness of the bedroom... Took a peak at the air conditioner and it was still switched on... Defeated by my sleepy eyes I went back to sleep until 9:30... After I was completely awake I decided to have a morning drink and I made for myself Milo Mocha... Then, listened my iPod while Heidi swept the living and dining room floor... When everything was done she took her bath...

As I was waiting for her to finish bathing I went and did some ironing... All of a sudden the ironing board fell apart and crashed to the floor... I was still in the middle of ironing my shirt when it happened... It took me by surprise but I just laughed my head off... Finished with my ironing session, I took my shower and got ready to go for another outing with my cousin...

Before we went out the main door I asked my cousin who was staying there with her parents after arriving from Penang yesterday evening whether she wanted to tag along with us... She refused, saying that she was sick... So me and Heidi headed to the side of the road to catch a cab... Our destination - The Gardens @ Mid Valley!

We left at around 11:30 and we arrived there half an hour later at 12:00 in the afternoon... A guy in a complete working suit greeted us with a smile and opened the taxi door for us... We were treated as important persons! I was truly impressed by the services... Then, we thanked both the driver and the bell boy and we went inside... It was not as big as its neighbour Mid Valley but The Gardens sure was a classy place to hang out and shop...


Not knowing where to go from the main entrance my cousin suggested  that the directory should be helpful... So we searched for it and we came across an electronic directory instead of a normal one... We checked the way to GSC Signature... We went a few floors up before we finally reached the correct floor... At first we both wanted to watch Prom Night but I decided not because Heidi would not watch the entire movie... She would only be tucking her head under her arms... Eventually we agreed to watch Iron Man at 1:30 and she had to watch it for the second time... So we bought two Premiere Class tickets... The movie was at Hall 5 and our seats were  A3 and A4...


Since we had another one hour and a half until the movie started Heidi and I went down to Starbucks to have our breakfast... I ordered Tuna Sandwich and Heidi ordered Mayo Bun for herself... As for the drink I just ordered Lemonade for both of us... We ate slowly to kill the remaining time... Busy talking to each other about our lives and other people's lives as well we almost forgot that the movie was about to start... So we headed up and the movie lasted more than two hours...


It was a great movie... Full of fun imaginations that I once had when I was a young boy... A world where our life is taken straight from a comic book story... Flying in the sky and houses that can talk and do everything that you want it to do... But nevertheless such movies bring out the kid in all of us back... So I told Heidi that I wanted to shop at the Robinsons... Since there was a HUGE SALE going on might as well I buy a thing or two... But before doing my shopping I applied for the membership card... Thankfully there was no catch on getting the Robinsons card... And only managed to grab one shirt as we were in a rush to go home...


After paying for the shirt we went across to Mid Valley via the connecting bridge between the two shopping malls... It was a nice glass bridge... From there we took a cab to KLCC... And it COST us almost RM25! Heidi and myself were speechless... We cannot argue with the driver... So we PAID... Putting the situation aside we got to McDonald's and bought for myself Chicken McNuggets, French Fries, and Ribena while Heidi bought  Double Cheeseburger at Signature...

As it was getting late and to avoid the rush hour I asked Heidi to call her mother to pick us up and that we would wait at the ISETAN entrance...
