Lace Mission.....

On Sunday, the day after the emceeing and wedding, I've accompanied the 'three generations' in the mission to find lace, for Lisa's baju kurung :) We've decided to take public transport, as the traffic obviously will not be very friendly on Sunday. We thought by taking train, it will ease a bit our 'mission.'

Well, not quite, as we've encountered unpleasant treatment by one 'guard' at Bandaraya Station. Lisa was pushing Caca's stroller and I told the guard to open the gate, so that she can pass the stroller to me later. But, this 'super ignorant' guard just sit on his chair and said, "Masukkan kad dulu." Fine, so, I did and I went through the 'bar'and waited for the guard to open the gate. I looked at the guard and he gave me the 'stone' look and did nothing! Hey???? I can feel the surge of anger boiling up inside me. Owh, oo.. The Devil been cheering " Say Nasty Words, Nasty Words.." And the Angle on my right been persuading, "Calm yourself, inhale, exhale...."

I was heading to that guard, planning to say nasty words to him, loads of them, lining up in my head, but, as I was walking, I managed to think within that 2 seconds, about the consequences of exploding in a rage. And so, I've diverted my way straight to the counter, and I've offloaded the 30 percent of my anger to the officer, who happened to be at a wrong time and place I supposed, and said in trembling voice, "Tolong bagitahu guard awak tu, alert sikit ye, tak nampak ke orang tengah tolak stroller, tolonglah bukak gate tu, susah sangat ke??" And I left the confounded officer. I took a very deeeeeeep breath. Haaaaahhhhh..... That 'considerate' guard cannot spoil my mood. Lalalalala..... "B*D*HHH, punye orang!" Lisa said once and I said once. Oke dah. To the Lace Shop!!!!!!

Yup, besides that unpleasant incident, the rest went well and the best part was Lisa managed to find her lace!!! Yeyyy!!! Alhamdulillah. :) Since Paparazzi is my middle name, I snapped some photos during our 'mission'..


Mama, Lisa & Caca :)


Lisa is negotiating with the Sales Lady at Maya Silk, Jalan TAR


Which one should I take? This pink or that pink? Erm..


Mama's turn to negotiate..


Finally, she picked that one.. Phewhhh...


It's time to go home, luckily we didn't bump into that ignorant guard. And you can see Lisa been smiling ear to ear. :P


You had fun huh, Caca :) Me too...
