Week 28: June 25 to July 1

With Mum and Dad still here and the kids on holidays it has been both a fun and relaxing week, although Steve has had a lot of work to do this week.

On Monday Lachlan, Danae, Mum, Dad and I went on the hop on hop off bus around KL. We went up the KL Tower, got off at Bukit Bintang for lunch at Al Amar, had a quick stop at Chinatown and did the fish spa, stopped at the new Istana Negara (National Palace) then came back to Ampang Park stop where we got on. We all went to the rasa food court at KLCC for some cheap Malay food and caught the light and music show in the park as we came home.



Tuesday was a quiet day. Danae, Mum and I went to Berjaya Times Square and had a look around the shops and had sushi for lunch. Dad and Lachlan went to a few sports stores around the Pavillion and had lunch together.

Wednesday was pretty quiet as well. We took Mum and dad to get their bus tickets to Singapore, I took some dresses to the tailor to get the hems taken up and we went to KLCC for lunch and a little look around. For dinner we went to El Cerdo at Changkat Bukit Bintang and had a platter with all kinds of Spanish hams and proscuitto and half a suckling pig. Steve didn't come with us because he was feeling unwell and had to go back to work at 8:30 to work on a group project.

We all went separate ways on Thursday. Dad and Lachlan went out for brunch, Mum and Danae went to the Kraft Komplex to do batik painting and I went with some High Comm ladies on an explorers group around Sri Hartamas. Steve and Dad went to play golf after lunch. We had an early lunch at home then I took Lachlan to the movies to see Brave.



I took the kids and Mum and Dad to Chinatown on the LRT on Friday. We had a good look around Central Market, and had lunch in the food court there. Then we went to a few fabric shops and walked down Petaling Street. I got some flowers on the way back home. We had a swim and a drink by the pool, then came upstairs for dinner. Steve and I were thinking of going out to Souled Out, but were too tired.

Saturday, we went to Publika, had breakfast at Plan B, had a look around (they have a great industrial vintage store that I love), and got some groceries at B.I.G. In the afternoon we chilled out at home. For dinner Mum, Dad and the kids went to Delicious at Dua and Steve and I went out together. We had Japanese at the Intercontinental, and it was delicious!! The highlights were the grilled scallops and chocolate fondue for dessert. We stopped at Malones on the way home for a drink and a game of pool.

On Sunday we had a bit of a sleep in, then we went to Little India on the LRT. We walked around the bazaar, had a look at some beautiful saris and had some lunch. As we were walking to the next station to come home. Steve and I decided to go to the Hard Rock Cafe. Everyone else wanted to go back home, so they caught the train back. Steve and I had a drink at the Hard Rock, then ended up walking home via KLCC. After a swim and a cool down, we went out to Jalan Alor for dinner. We had stingray, calamari, lemon chicken, fried coffee chicken (that one was a favorite), assorted beans, brocolli, ocra and rice. With two beers, two soft drinks and two juices the bill came to $60. Dad thought it was the best meal he had had in KL.
