We went on a little adventure recently.
It was one of those days, that makes you think, to be indoors- surrounded by four walls, would be an epic waste of time and opportunity. So off we go...
First thing's first, I was very surprised at how efficient the lrt really is. Kejap je tunggu, 2 minutes kot keretapi dah sampai. As we stepped in, a lady tapped me on the shoulder and asked me to have a seat. So this mak buyong duduk la dengan tetamu-tetamu kehormat yang lain which were, org buta and an elderly couple. Its nice to know kita masih belum hilang nilai-nilai ketimuran itu. However, since it was just one stop away, big boss berdiri je la.. Tak kuasa pun dia nak sibuk-sibuk cari tempat duduk jugak. Mungkin rezeki kita hari tu, takde pulak nampak budak-budak muda or orang-orang yang sangat berupaya- tapi masih nak gatal degil tak mahu bagi seat pada yang lebih memerlukan.

Our destination.. Pasar Seni or Central Market.
Jakunnya aku bila discover it has already been fully air conditioned. Mesti tourist semua suka. (And I say that because memang ramai tourist pun kat situ). But the irony is, I am too- a tourist in my own country.
When was the last time we were there?
Hmmmm, zaman sekolah dulu kot.. Probably a couple of decades back.

And hey, things there are not cheap hokay!! Tapi aku shopping jugak. Dah barang cantik-cantik.. Agak-agak la, kalau barang tu orang bali ke, org putih ke, org jepun, org french, org kashmir ke yang buat, taruk harga letop-letops pun, boleh pulak kita membeli sakan! Berpuluh ribu-ribans terkorban pun tak rasa salah juga. So, apalah setakat kain batik RM30 org Malaysia yang buat? Painting-painting pun cantik-cantik wey..
All in all, I think we spent about RM 200 on some pretty neat stuff. Our sumbangan back to perindustrian Malaysia. Sebab kalau pergi Ikea pun, RM200 is kira celah gigi le jugok.. and please don't try to deny this fact. Ikea tu aku rasa confirm membela toyol sepuluh ekor. Semua benda rasa cantik, semua benda rasa nak beli! Last-last terbabas jugak.. heh.
Anyways, kipas tangan ala nyonya that I bought tu is dem sexy, kaler hitam lagi! RM5. Memang confirm lepas ni, mak buyong lepas beranak akan dress up jadi Madam Butterfly..eceeh. =p
Big Boss beli shirt batik buatan tangan, 1 piece per design. Memang berbaloi, abang kedai tu taruk harga RM90.00 but gave to us for RM60.00 coz I also bought myself kaftan tidur and a lovely blue handkerchief.
We also managed to bring back some coasters, placemats and ntah apa-apa lagi ntah. Sebab benda-benda tu semua, masih belum keluar dari beg nya lagi.. hehe. Pasal tu tak berapa nak ingat apa yang dibeli.
Had pretty good fun over there anyways! =)
Owh, and another thing also caught our eyes, was this super exquisite Grandfather Clock. Kedai tu ada dalam empat design ranging from RM25,000 - RM45,000. Then big Boss kata that would be a gift to ourselves when we become Atoks nanti.
"OK, sayang. I sure am looking forward to that day." Kata hati kecil ku.
(ending style sundance- where there's a little tak puas dengan ending cerita tu. hehe.)
....till next time =)
