One of those Saturdays

Drove down to KL today because I wanted to go to Bangsar and to Central Market within a few hours and wasn't in the mood for public transport. 

Went to Bangsar, got a nice parking spot - rare as hen's teeth, I tell you - in front of Pappa Rich on Telawi 3 because I had heard of this family-run optical shop which has great service, selection of eyewear, yada yada yada. Some of you might know which one I'm referring to - they were not kidding about the crowd, because the shop was packed when I walked in. No, I didn't get anything, but the attention was greatly appreciated... or I could have been tailed just so I don't sneak a pair or more out of the shop :P

Since I had already paid to park for an hour (stupid DBKL, insisting on having to pay parking on Saturday), so I wandered around for a bit. Only thing I bought was a bag of Cheetos from the Village Grocer and fresh juice from Boost Juice Bar.

Later managed to park at Central Market because I wanted to check out the KL Alternative Bookfest and Art for Grabs happening at the Annexe Gallery, located right behind Central Market. My only snag was how was I going to get home, which wasn't too hard in the end, thankfully. No, didn't get anything from there too, though people interested in getting "alternative" reading material could always check out KLAB. 

If you go down on Sunday, parking in Dayabumi's cheaper.

There's a funeral happening in the neighbourhood this weekend, which I wouldn't ordinarily care if the house in question wasn't situated on the one road to and from the house. The ONLY road. I guess it's a good thing that they only took up half the road. I thought it was a little convenient that the deceased passed on on a weekend during the school holidays. If it wasn't the school holidays now, it would've been chaos.

To be frank, I saw it coming when I saw an ambulance pulling out of that house earlier in the week.
