How we celebrated my birthday... :)

Yesterday was my birthday... pagi-pagi dah kena kejutkan Ja and the kids to get ready coz we're supposed to pick up my 11 year-old cousin at his house in Bandar Utama to go to Petrosains at KLCC together. We went the day before, together with my Mak Busu only to find that the ticket for the day has been sold out at around 3-4pm or so...

So bila sampai Suria KLCCat around 10.30am camtu we thought why don't we go for breakfast first since we hadn't had any.. and since Ja wanted to belanja.. I suggested breakfast at Dome... hehe

After breakfast, we went straight to Petrosains to get the tickets, and found that the next available tickets were for the 3.30pm slot. So had to wait berjam2 kat KLCC before we can actually go inside Petrosains (should have bought the tickets before breakfast). Lepas beli the Petrosains + Muzika (sort of like Pusat Sains Negara kind of attraction next door) combo tickets, we went into Muzika (boring...) and then found that we still have lots of time to kill before 3.30pm.

Apa lagi... Aquarialah... the 2 adult + 2 kid combo (Rayhana free) cost RM99.00 but since I used Maybank ATM card to pay, I just have to pay RM86.00.

Lepas Aquaria, still got more than an hour before 3.30pm. Ja belanja makan lunch kat Chakri Palace at Suria KLCC. It was just overpriced Thai lunch... nothing special..

Lepas makan, negotiated with the Muzika people to let us in again since lama lagi nak tunggu for the 3.30pm queue to start. nasib baik dia bagi since there were not many people inside.

At 3.30pm, went to the queue... pukul 4.30pm baru la dapat masuk.. not so much of the queue but punyala gila siput babi slow punya ride that was supposed to take us through a "Perjalanan Sekilas Masa".. lembab punya masa...

By the time we finished with Petrosains it was already 6.30pm. Minum kejap kat food court, pastu hantar my cousin balik and we got home at around 7.30pm.. too tired to think about dinner... so Ja had Felishia go out and buy KFC and a birthday cake... makan kat rumah je..

But the highlight of the whole weekend was reading the books I bought from the Scholastic Book Buffet at MidValley last Friday... THE 39 CLUES series.. I saw the books at London Book Fair.. and saw them on sale kat the book buffet, so apa lagi... beli terus all 6 books they had on sale.. (ada lagi 3 buku probably not on Malaysian shores yet.. and the last book (10th book) due to be out in August 2010). I'm already on my 5th book now.. AWESOME!! It only cost me RM49.90 for all six books, compared to the usual retail price of between US$13-16 for each of them.

HA!!! baru nak tanya how the scholastic buffet went and beg you to blog about it. I went last year and was so disappointed with their selections as well as the size of the bag. Dah la diorg tak bagi browse at all, nak tengok pun kena bayar RM50. Sheesh. But I made sure I got my money's worth by stuffing the bag to the max... biar la some books squished squashed! So what other books didja get?? 39 Clues that nice issit?? cenni kena baca la!! It's different authors per novel rite?? read bout it in an article some time back, siap ade online competition yg ongoing or something like that...

aaaaaanywaays, Happy Birthday once again!!

yup... different authors per novel... but somehow the writing style sama je throughout... that's excellent editing!

have just finished all the 6 books I bought.... dah ler cerita hanging kejap.. need to get the other 3 books and wait till the last one in August..

this series is perfect for a TV miniseries.. cool giler.. but cerita budak2la.. intelligent kids..

there in an online competition, and also game cards attached to the cover of each book so you can play games with the book! haven't looked at that yet..
