Quick Outing on Wesak Day

Last Monday, 19 May 2008 we did a quick getaway to The Mines in Serdang and Jusco in Cheras Selatan. For the whole morning, Pa did not say anything about going out nor gave any hints.

So, it was like a rest day of lazing around doing nothing but relaxing our tired bodies for the 3 of us. Ma was having a bad day with headache...and was trying to sleep it off after taking some medication. That afternoon, Pa had to get lunch ready and he did what most men would do...buy lunch!

At about 3.00pm, Pa nudged Ma to find out whether her headache had cleared. He even asked me to do the same.

Then Pa dropped the bomb...he asked us to get ready to go out. Thats the cure Ma would welcome anytime. Ma tried hard to find out where Pa wanted to take us but he just kept quiet.

Finally, on the highway he broke the news...we were heading for The Mines but did not say why he wanted to take us there.

So here I am all ready to go out enjoying some raisins.

Pa asked us to walkabout and enjoy the view of the shopping mall...I loved it because I could see many fishes swimming in the man-made canal running through the mall.

The place was surprisingly deserted with more Indonesian construction workers than locals.

We had a tea-break at McD where I get to enjoy my favourite fries.

Finally, here's the surprise! Pa had planned all along to get a new dslr camera for himself...an upgrade from the current one. Ma was all smiles while I gazed at the sales person on the other side of the counter.

Since The Mines was near Jusco Cheras Selatan, Ma suggested that we head over there. Afterall, Jusco sale is still on.

Pa and Ma took turns to perform their prayers at the surau.

Dinner was at KFC...chicken rice for Ma & I and 2-pc plate for Pa

The chicken rice came with soup which I get to taste too.

After all the walking, I do need to be changed and Jusco is a baby friendly shopping complex which is one of the reasons we prefer to shop here.

There is this poster of a baby in the Baby's Changing Room that I imitated the posture...Ma was amazed and smiling away at my skills.

We left Jusco just before 9.30pm. Pa took an easy drive on the highway back to Seremban. That was the surprise quick outing we had on Wesak Day.

Pa is a happy man now that he has a new toy to play with. Ma and I would surely be his selected and favourite models to test his new toy.

Thanks Pa for taking Ma and I for the quick outing.
