And therefore, I will be anti-social for the rest of the month because work dictates it is so. Although work shouldn't dictate my life. But it's so ironic that the older you get, the more experience you accumulate, the more responsibilities you start to shoulder, and thus the more work you get, and the more you feel that you have to deliver, just because. Ah well. I'm excited to be going to the biggest "Global Village" ever, really. Travelling the world with the price of a ticket to Shanghai - awesome. Hope the Expo lives up to its hype. And although I don't like that China beat us last night and that more than 90% of our consumer products are made in China, there's no denying that China is a force to reckon with - if not now, then maybe in 10 years' time. They built that massive metro system for the Expo within a few years. And it takes us like 10 years to decide to extend our LRT line. Fabulous.

I know, like sungguh the lama dah.

I had a thoroughly busy Labour Day, joining throngs of people in Mid Valley and throngs of people in 1 Utama.

We started the day early at The Gardens Mall, having I Love Yoo! for breakfast, then collecting our RM 20 voucher from Robinson's and shopping for the man's clothes there. Headed to La Senza, wanted to see their fashion show but the shop was just too hot (why don't they on the frigging air-cond?) so I left. Spent my RM 50 voucher in Aussino on a new bolster - yay, can relegate my 9-year-old hand-me-down to the guest room.

Trooped over to the property exhibition to do my work. Seemed to be mostly the same as those that were there in KLCC's last week. But nvm, work pays for my parking. We went back to Robinson's again - I wanted desperately to get a new handbag and some shoes, but they didn't put any likeable stock out, boo. The man got another shirt. We went to Isetan to try, but no luck for me there too. Had oyster mee suah at Shihlin Taiwan street snacks stall - so yummy - and because we were exhausted dyy, we went home, releasing our precious parking spot to a super-grateful driver.

Got home, dumped the stuff, and plonked straight in for a much-needed afternoon nap. Was supposed to be 5 minutes, ended up 90 minutes. Gosh, that was luxurious indeed. Very nice to just plonk into bed in the afternoon and not care how long I sleep for or whether it's gonna affect my sleep at night in case I need to get up early the next morning - yah lah, I'm a worrier.

Got up at 4pm, felt awesomely refreshed. Bathed and we headed out again at 5pm. The throngs of cars heading into 1U was something I haven't seen before in a long time (because I usually never head to a mall unless it's 10am in the morning). Luckily though, we got a spot quite quickly. Went shopping for my new iPhone at Maxis - they're out of stock, cis. Went to Digi - the same, cis x2. So with no place to fulfill my "want", we went to Parkson and I fell in love with a new brand of handbags I'd never seen before - Radley. I truly fell in love, in a matter of 5 seconds. But the price tags, oh the price! Maybe I could give up the iPhone for a Radley? Hmm ...

Luckily the movie partners called us, and the man whisked me off for dinner. Yummy Chili's, love that place - the triple play is awesome as always, and the mushroom fajitas was yumminess. Can you believe they've got bottomless Milo now?

We then went off to watch Ip Man 2. Great fight scenes. The drilling of the "Chinese spirit and integrity" was a bit much - but I guess that's what is needed for such an alpha male show.

Went home and watched an episode of Criminal Minds before falling to bed - was exhausting having to fight the throngs of people okay, me not young anymore, when I used to be able to spend entire weekends pacing the malls. And now I'm up early - must be the long nap. I wonder what I shall do today - besides work :P Damn I can hear Radley calling ...
