~On Tuesday(26/08/2014) after hanging out with Keerthana(K2), my mum tells my grandma amuma(mums mum) and I that we have to go to Kuala Lumpur(KL) tomorrow at 3.30pm. Oh, wonderful. My aumua started complaining away because we were only supposed to go on Thursday. My mum said it was better if I went on Wed because Thuraday is the only day the German Ambessy works until 3pm. Every other day they close after lunch….
~Met Keetu for breakfast at McD before we went to First Avenue to hang out.
~We went to First Ave and Prangin Mall. Watched the movie Lucy at First Ave; I had low expectations of it, but I really liked it after watching it! They made us stand up to our national song before the movie though. What pissed me off was that the images they showed relating to Independence Day(Merdeka) had so few Chinese and Indians in them! .... So 'Satu Malaysia' *rolls eyes*
~Why am I going to the ambessy? Well, Visa, of course. So in the morning of Wed, my mum took me to get visa sized photos(with white background) and then took me to her office. I had nothing to do there for an hour plus, so I decided to ask in AC whatsapp chat about visa. The four of them told me to get my visa in Germany itself and that we already have a Residence Permit until the end of this year. I told this to my mum, but my mums friend had just purchased the bus tickets for my grandma and I xD My mum said to still go to the ambessy in KL to confirm.
~At 3.45pm, the Aeroline bus arrived. Late– no surprise there. My grandma made friends with a Chinese lady in the waiting room for the bus to arrive. Got into the bus. Left at 4pm. In the bus, I watched two movies: Thor the dark world and Hitchcock. I must admit that I i’m not a fan of Thor, but I’m a major fan of Loki hehe. But if I had to choose which movie I enjoyed watching more, it was Hitchcock. They served us sphagetti with red sauce and sausages. Wo-ha, I don’t even eat chicken(they serve Halal chicken cause Pork is a no-no for Muslims and Beef is a no-no for Indians) so I dumped all those sausages on Amumas plate.
~Arrived at around 8pm at Corus Hotel. Took a taxi to Bangsar( Mohan mama and Aunty Sandras house. They have three beautiful children and a lovely house. Oldest child is a 11 girl. Two girls and the youngest is a boy.) When we got off of the taxi and it drove away, I noticed that my luggage was too light and its amount was one short .__. Guess which bag was missing? THE BAG WITH ALL MY DOCUMENTS INCLUDING MY ORIGINAL SPM CERT, ORI FESTSTELLUNGSPRÜFUNG CERT AND ALL MY OTHER LIFE DOCUMENTS!! O______O
~I told it to my grandma and she stared at me. Panic hit me. I dropped all my bags and ran to the middle of the road, waving like a madwoman at every car on the road. Then I turned around to see the taxi making a u-turn(maybe there was a block at the end of the road) and he stopped for me. Bless his soul. My bag was on the back seat, just lying there like it owned the seat. Took it and thanked the driver. God, thank you for making him u-turn!!
~We were greeted by Aunty Sandra– she’s so nice to talk to :3 Problem is, her kids are too young for me to hang out with. So, I decided to downlad this game called ‘Iruna Online’ on my Handy. Mohan mama came back and I stopped the game which I juat started. The four of us sat round and talked. After talking, my grandma went to sleep and I played the game again while lying beside her in the dark.
~The next day, Aunty Sandra drove me and my amuma to Bangsar LRT. From there, we took the LRT to Ampang Park. I studied German at Goethe for two months there, so I knew the way to Menara Tan & Tan. Took a ticket and waited. And waited. And waited. For a few hours, I believe. Read a few chapters of The Famous Five in German. Waited. Was number 288. Finally, I was called.
~I went and asked them if I needed to make a visa over here or at Germany. Dude said Msia. I got worried cause I needed to be in Germany on the 20th of September, and a visa takes around 2-3 months to make. I waved my residence permit from the other side of the glass. He asked me to send it to him. I did. He looked at it, looked at me, and then said I only have to renew my visa at Germany. Phewww. He gave me back my residence permit and we left. Man, we waited there for hours only to speak to the dude for like, two minutes.
~After that, I dragged Amuma to KLCC and we had lunch there. I ordered the Salmon Bento Box at the top floor food court of Suria KLCC. Super yummy and lots too. Worth the money. We walked around the mall, then bought a box of six doughnuts from J.co Doughnuts for the three kids. Walked some more before heading back. Arrived at their house at around 3pm. At 5pm, Aunty Sandra and I went walking around her neighbourhood. She also took me to Bangsar Village and the mall there. We stopped at a shoe shop, where aunty tried on, fell in love with, and ordered these lovely pair of peach coloured high heeled shoes that were almost flat at the feet part. Also stopped by a clothing botique. Headed back.
~The kids friend decided to do the Ice Bucket Challenge in Aunty sandras garden
~On Friday, Mohan mama took Amuma, the three kids and I to Lake Gardens. It was super huge!! Other than playgrounds and lakes, there was the Deer Farm(we went there), Butterfly Farm, and even a soon-to-maybe-be Owl farm. Fed deers bread. Fed ducks bread. Fed fish bread. Kids ran around. Swang on a swing.
~Mika(the youngest) in red
~Mohan mama dropped me at Bangsar LRT at 7.10pm. From there, I took the LRT to Taman Bahagia(which I am at now) and met with Jazmeen, Jazreen and Aunty Janita!! 😀 Kids my age group haha. Went to their house first and had a quick shower. Met Uncle Ravi at their house. Uncle Ravi, drove Auntu Jan, Meen, Reen and I to Tropicana Mall. We ate at Subway. Aunty bought for us three(kids) movie tickets to watch Guardians of The Galaxy. Our seats were three rows away from the screen at 9.20PM .__. That’s how crowded cinemas get on Fridays.
~We entered the cinema and Uncle and Aunty went to do groceries. The movie was no less awesome the second time around. I really like the characters and story line compared to the other super hero movies. Jeez, how I dislike Spiderman. Movie ended at around 11.40pm. Aunty and Uncle were waiting outside the cinema for us. Went back. Slept.
~Reen and I spotted the mushrooms growing on a stump in the park
~The next day(Saturday) Jazreen and I went walking outside of their house in the SS2 park until 12pm cause Jazmeen was in tuition. It was fun. At one, Jazmeen returned and we had lunch. Watched Despicable Me 2 on astro. At 4.30pm Uncle and Aunty dropped me and Jazreen off at Tropicana Mall to look at books. Meen wanted to watch MTV Awards so she didn’t tag along. We looked at books. Read magazines.– OMG ya I forgot! I saw The Neverending Story by Michael Ende storybook at Bangsar Village borders! But up till now, I havn’t had thr luck to spot it again. It was in the Classics section. I’ve read Michael Ende’s MOMO and enjoyed it.
~Came back at 5.45pm and I changed into a Unicorn Dress. Why? Well, cause at 6.30pm, I was going for my cousins birthday! He turned two on the 30th of August! His name is Keevan Ajay, and is Suresh mama’s (PS, ‘mama’ means uncle) first child. Aunty Rajes, her husband and her daughter came to pick me up from Aunty Jans place. In the car we talked. Reached Rumahku(the place where the function was being held) Saw tons of relatives I haven’t seen in ages. Some I remember the faces of, but can’t remember anything else about
Hugs and more questions. Amuma came with Mohan mama and his family to the function.
Keevan in the middle. Suresh mama and his wife around him 🙂
~The two tall girls and the boy beside Keevan are Aunty Sandras kids. She is in blue in the photo 😀
~Eventually, it was time to cut the cakeee!! Pictures were taken first, of course. Then, cakkeeeee!! Followed by ‘makan’ time!! Foodddd!! The butter prawns were yummy and so was the fish. The cake was creamy and sweet. Although it’s adviced not to eat the cream for it being unhealthy, I ate it anyway .__. I leik cream. Also had these little fruit tarts.
~First round
~After we were done eating, Lavina akka arrived with her dad!! 😀 She just came from the Temple. I think it was a celebration for Lord Ganesha being held in the Temple. We talked. Maybe next year she can visit me in Germany 😀 I took a photo with the many grandmas I have before leaving the function with Aunty Rajes. Aunty Rajes sent me back to Aunty Jans house at around 10pm.
~I played Iruna Online while Kak Muquina watched Paranormal Activity 2. Aunty, Uncle and the two Jaz’s were at Akka Parvini’s house. They came ack at 12+am. Wished them SELAMAT MERDEKA!! It was 31st August! Independence day, woohoo! Went to sleep.
~On Sunday(Merdeka) at 10.45pm, Aunty Jan dropped Meen, Reen and I at the LRT, where we met Sanjaey and Renisha. Sanjaey wanted to go to Bukit Bintang(which I was totally game for) but the rest insisted on KLCC. So, KLCC it was. Damn, the LRT was packed to the brim with foreigners! Especially foreign workers Mostly Bangladesh.
~Was so relieved to arrive at KLCC in one piece. We spent quite some time searching for a place to have lunch, before deciding on having it at the 2nd floor food court. I had Fish Head Bee Hoon Mee from Wok & Grill. The soup was good, but the fish sucked 😡 Bones kept getting stuck in my mouth. Idk why this fish was so boney! We wanted to go to Petrosains, but the line was mad-long.
~Idk why this photo even exists but there were like 20+ nonsense photos like this on my Handy after they used it x)
~We went outside to the fountain area and took SELFIES!! Sanjaey scratched his leg on branches till it had blood. We walked to Aquaria from the gardens. Saw the line there. Renisha(Ren), Meen and Reen insisted on going. There was no way I was going to pay RM38 to see, as Sanjaey put it, “Fishes flying around” Even Petrosains was only RM15 for MyKad holders! Ren, Meen and Reen went. Me and Sanjaey(Sj) decided to check out Petrosains again, only to find it still butt-crowded.
~Okay, fine. We hung out in Kinokuniya–this large-ass bookshop that’s only in KLCC in Malaysia. Saw mangas and comics and books on musicians and local-drawn comics. I like the art by this local artist named Zint. Practically every other comic/manga done by local artists are either about romance, or has lolitia art, which hurts my eyes. After an hour or so, we decided to hunt for McDonalds since Sj wanted their vanilla ice-cream. Failing at the task, we turned to the information booth. Guess what? KLCC, the only place with KinoKuniya in Msia, DOES NOT have McD. Seriously man.
~We went to Cold Storage instead .__. There, they were selling four in a set Lotus Paste or Red Bean paste Mooncakes for only around RM9!! I bought two packets– one for Aunty Jan and the other for Krishnan Mama(or Kitchen Mama, cause everyone calls him that for some reason. Going to his house later 😀 ) Sj bought two cans of Soya bean drinks for himself and I got a bottle of not-so-cold cold water. Called the girls. They were done with Aquaria. Told em to meet us at the LRT. Sj and I walked all the way to KFC in KLCC, then came out to open land no LRT. Tried to find the LRT and located it from outside at the other end of KLCC. The girls were still not there yet, so we decided to explore the other mall joining to the LRT. There was quite empty la. Nice to walk around.
~Top left corner photo is of Jazreen with her float, bottom is Jazmeen with her waffle and Ren with her ice cream in a cup. Right is of the fish hed bee hoon noodles from KLCC
~When the girls called, we met up with them and took a train to Taman Jaya. Why? To have A&W Root Beer floats!! Did you know that the A&W outlet there is planning to close down forever?? Some kid had their b’day party there, so I got to take a photo with the A&W mascot bear!! Crowded as hell(yea, I’m implying that Hell is crowded. As Mark Twain said, go to Heaven for the climate, hell for the company.)
~Me and da A&W bear!! Sj and his shaky hands as the photographer
~At around 5pm, Sj and Ren left. They had to be home by 5.30pm to attend some persons wedding with their dad. Aunty Jan picked us up soon after from A&W. When we came back, we went walking around the park again. Had dinner. More or less just lepak-ed around the house.
~Today, Akka Parvini and her dad came to join us for lunch 😀 After lunch, Aunty Jan served Ice-cream with peaches in a bowl 😀 We were talking about all kinds of topics. Jazmeen is gonna be Satan in her school canteen day this Sat. Aunty Jan told us about ‘Minyak Dagu’. We talked. Now I’m writing this post. Gonna go play Iruna Online!! I play on Wasseria server, under the alias Savera22. That game uses quite a lot of German terms x) One monster is even called Baum, which is tree in German. Toodles and TTFN ❤
