Took a day leave today and went to Suria, 1Borneo and Karamunsing Complex… just want to feel and see how is the last minute shopping rush… 😀 Went around 11.00am. Lido was jammed… Luyang was jammed… KK also jammed… but the jams was not that bad… still OK… furthermore I used the Signal Hill route to Suria, so not very sure how bad was the jammed in the city itself.

There are not many shoppers at Suria… and I only entered the sports store… was looking for Adidas stuffs… but nothing interest me. Has been trying to find Adidas stuffs for sometimes… even tried in Tawau when I was outstations a couple of weeks ago… I’m looking for t-shirts and shorts for my gym… but very hard to get size that suitable for me… guess all sportsman are thin… 😛

Then proceeded to 1Borneo… not sure what time we took off… but I guess after an hour at Suria… 1B is a bit crowded… there was Christmas treasure hunt going on when we arrived… Since there are sales everywhere, I tried to look for men’s clothing but I’m not really into shopping for myself… so I just window shopping… for myself… 😀

First went to Crocs store… but all are old models… I ask if they have the Barista… too bad, none… Then went to Adidas store… quite a number of customers inside… browse the sneakers… nothing interest me… browse the t-shirts… nothing interest me… at the end I bought an Adidas watch as Christmas present for my nephew.

Tried to have lunch at McDonald… TOO crowded… damm… KFC is quite vacant… so went to KFC instead… only eat burger since not really into KFC food at this time… Then went to Parkson after KFC… saw Speedo watches there… bought one for my other nephew… all three of them are swimmer… this is good brand 😀

Then proceeded to Karamunsing Complex around 4pm… went there to buy another present for the third nephew… bought a remote control helicopter…. Karamunsing was crowded… but surprisingly I manage to get a parking right in front of the entrance… wow… today must be my lucky day… never park there before… always park at 5th floor…

In fact during our journey from 1B to Karamunsing, we saw an UFO… yea… UFO… usually while driving I also look at the sky… and I saw a plane… then I saw something very shiny near the plane… i mean further away from the plane… it was stationary… it was there for about 30 seconds… and I was fumbling taking out my little camera from my pants pocket… too bad, did not manage to take photo… so we thought, that’s about it… while figuring out what could it be… then suddenly the shinny thing appears again… and this time it was BIG… mind you it was around 4pm and the sun is bright… but there is no place to stop at the road side… this time my friend also saw it… unfortunately the road was bending and the UFO disappear… could it be the Santa Clause with Rudolf the Rain Deer?…

For the past one week or so, I was like super busy and super tired… and it’s not over yet… work at office are piling with dateline… 😛 end of year chaos… everything must be completed… dateline on this date… dateline on that date… 😛 and at the same time systems, network, computers and printers are giving nerve wrecking pressure sometimes… probably they are overused at this time, that’s why somehow they also get over-burned… 😛

With all the chaos, I still manage to join the Operation Nexus last Sunday… you can say it was the biggest woodsball game so far held here… 120 woodsballer divided into two teams… the good guys US Black Water and the terrorist Kurdistan Workers Party… but I’m not in any of the team… I was there to take photos… 😀 At the end of the day, I was completely exhausted and knockdown… coz on Saturday, I was also under the sun for our Ministry sports event.

But today, Friday, our office had an early Christmas lunch at Promenade Hotel… the food are OK… I was not really hungry… so did not really eat… there are 16 of us, but lucky we did get a good discount… no, we did not use home everything coupons or any Christmas vouchers or discount coupons… but because of one of our staff daughter is working there… so she gave us loads of discounts… 😀

And this Sunday, I will be going east-coast for work… probably will be covering Tawau, Semporna, Lahad Datu, Sandakan, Ranau… another Journey Around Sabah trip for one week… 😀

Trick or treat?… Happy Halloween everyone… 😛

Don’t really care about Halloween… but if I’m going to do trick or treat, I will be terrorizing the whole village… 😛 I will use all the scary trick I know to scare the kids… I like to scare people… muahahahahahaha…

Well, after Halloween, Christmas and New Year will be next… temporary sales jobs advertisements at shopping complexes are pasted everywhere… Christmas and yearend sales has started… but how is this year gonna be?… economic seem to have recovered a little bit compared to last year…  last year it was a little bit gloomy at shopping complexes… hopefully this year it gonna be more exiting… more sales… and more events… 😀
