Valentine's Day 2009

Sun 150209

Yup, that time of the year just came & went. And yup, it was yesterday. Valentine's Day!!

Heartiest & sincere Congrats to our niece, TKP on her official marriage registration @Chin Woo Association, Ipoh, on that special day...Above : The happy loving couple in a group pic.

As for the inmates of Lot 10 OFH, they were not gonna let Valentine's Day 2009 go without any celebrations, no matter how small..hehe...

The day started like any other day. Kwan Lo Mee was the breakfast menu. Then it was off to Tesco Mergong for an outing. Ended up "donating" a bit to the "Tesco Fund". Ha ha! Mainly for necessities...

However, an attempt was made to get something to mark this special day. A ring studded with "diamonds". After discount, it came to RM185. Unfortunately, the "look you no up" attitude of the salesgirl collapsed & ended the transaction. Wonder how such ppl can be in the sales line...??

Lunch was my other half's "Pan Mee" at the food court opposite AS Mall. A good meal. Was pleasantly surprised when the stall-owner remembered my past preferences!!

This was followed by an "outing" at AS Mall. Whilst there, another attempt was made to get a "souvenir" for the special day. This time it was a white gold necklace with pendant. Enquired about one that caught my eye at the shop's entrance. This time around, the salesgirl was over-enthusiastic in her job & tried to push sales to a higher level. She took us inside the shop and showed us MORE at higher prices...phew!

What can I say? She ended up with NO sale!! Well, like the saying goes in the business community.... " The customer is always right... ". Right? And, being over-zealous can bring about one's downfall....loss of a good sale in this case!

We did finally get something to mark the day. Yup, something that my other half will now have in her hand everytime she's in her domain...the kitchen. And yup, it's a Tefal high quality (the Evidence range) non-stick 28cm frying pan! One that can even be used with a metal utensil! Price? RM129. Might not appear that romantic but a much more practical item of purchase (for OFH inmates) to mark the day...

Dinner was a request for Bah Kut Teh meal at Lot 7 but on reaching there, the stall was closed. Maybe the stall-owners were celebrating their own V-Day? And so an alternative venue was suggested. PSK. Nearing the area, we were faced with very dense traffic conditions. Bad. Persistence & patience paid off. And we were soon enjoying our Bah Kut Teh, with added pig's tail!! Ha ha! Only RM14.20. Cheap but tasty & good.

As I've always believed & preached, a meal is good & enjoyable, being not measured by its cost but by the atmosphere, mood & feelings of the participants! And truthfully, the events of that day including the meals were just great! We were ONE!!

As V-Day this year fell on a Saturday, it coincided with our regular COD and thus, it was only appropriate to end it with a Cine Night event. The movie, Beverly Hills Chihuahua, was selected and both had an enjoyable night.

And, as the day & night drew to a close, both inmates of Lot 10 felt that V-Day 2009 was & is a very memorable, happy & loving day!

Sincerely hope yours was as good as mine...cheers!!
