Week 4, 2012 - Dragon year, and being a year older

Another birthday this CNY week - celebrated with the extended family because it's the day my parents decided to have the CNY family dinner (maternal side, at Pantai Seafood) and the subsequent low stakes gambling (20 cents low, I kid you not) with the cousins. Won some money there and also got some last minute double angpaus from some of the relatives who were caught off guard by my birthday. All the while I was still coughing to the point of near reverse peristalsis and depleting the tissue and serviette supply with the nose-blowing. 
  • Kicked off the week with the commencement of the year of the water dragon. 
  • Hit some malls with the excellent empty roads in town.
  • Went to the clinic for the THIRD TIME this month; was finally prescribed antibiotics for the lingering post-nasal drip and cough. 
  • Redeemed a free drink, bought a couple of drinks as well as redeem a couple slices of (free) cake from Starbucks this week. Luckily cakes at Starbucks are dependably edible. 
  • Trying out endless.com by buying a pair of clogs that I've been wanting to get but didn't want to pay nearly RM500 for here. They're coming by DHL, so I can't complain - they're expected to be here Monday.
  • Found out first hand that parking at IPC has gone up RM1 - so it's RM2 for weekdays and RM3 for weekends and public holidays. D'OH... either I won't be parking there ever again, or hope that I actually have something to buy at IKEA.
  • Kanna Curry House (the one in PJ, anyway) has now switched from actual banana leaf to faux paper banana "leaves". Allegedly because the supply of actual banana leaves is getting scarce (really?), but just as well - I know banana leaves are not an endless resource, but still.
