One of those Saturdays

Went to Midvalley for the first time since this happened...

Interesting how this didn't improve traffic whatsoever

Instead of parking there, I decided to try another way - I parked at the open air parking lot near the Bangsar LRT station (which was charging RM3 per entry) and crossed the road over to catch the free shuttle bus. Which didn't pan out so great because when I got there the shuttle was on its mid-morning break and I paid the RM1 bus fare... yeah, didn't work out so great. Doable, but need to plan better.

Anyway, was there to check out the Beauty, Wellness and Spa exhibition upstairs and to also do the Schick razor swap with one of my old pink Quattro razor at the Caring Pharmacy downstairs. There was this uncle who made the rookie mistake of going alone with TWO used razors and threw a slight hissy fit when told that he can't exchange both razors, but they did suggest that he buy the refill blades so that he'd get another razor for free (was I the only one who didn't see the logic?). Those must be some damn expensive blades, man.

Brunch was the Krispy Kreme brunch special - two doughnuts with either tea or coffee for RM5.50 - and I had to tar pau half 3/4 of a doughnut and some of the coffee (they wanted to charge me RM1 for takeaway, so I sat down and ate and drank some before I asked to tarpau, haha).

Traffic was so terrible around that area that the shuttle bus schedule was a little off - but glad I caught the one coming back and the driver used a different route to get back to the LRT station because Brickfields traffic was horrendous (so I was told when I asked later).

Since I already paid parking, I hopped on the train to Pasar Seni to check out Art for Grabs at The Annexe. Didn't get anything, but this guy's tee shirts caught my eye.

Oh, the new razor I got? Gave it to Dad.
