Weekend activities.....

This was a pretty busy weekend for me. A friend swung by KL from Penang for a short seminar. So picked him up from ParkRoyal Hotel at 9:30 a.m. & we headed to Mid-Valley to do some shopping for the hiking stuff he wanted & catching up. The last time I saw him was in Penang almost 15 months ago I think. We communicate almost daily via email. Our favourite topic ? Plants. Haha. He`s one of my small circle of plant buddies but has become a good friend of sorts as well. Being a self-proclaimed fussy shopper, he snubbed the 2 hiking related shops I brought him to. The we stepped into a huge sports shop & while I looked at some leather strap-on sandals, he actually found 2 bags he liked ! Wah, this is the same guy who apparently shopped the whole of Penang but couldn`t find anything. He got his bag. I bought a lot of miscellaneous stuff.My best buy ? A nice Reebok quarter cap for rm9.90, marked down from rm35.90. It`s the kinda of cap which only has a front `ledge` to shield the eyes & face from sun but the top part`s topless. Nice.
Btw, NICE 3-seater buses from KL-Penang are now rm50. Wow, they used to be about 30 % less the last time I took one a year ago. Prices have indeed gone up!
