Saturday at The Curve

It was unplanned.

Aina was making a fuss about going to TokMi's (something she's started to do every weekend now) and since Babah had to work so he said he'll send us and come pick us up after his stint at PWTC.

It was off to The Curve with Mama, TokMi and TokYah...... :-)

After the photo stop in front of e@Curve, we headed to Tao located inside e@Curve for our late breakfast of coffee (iced chocolate for Mama & Aina) and croissants. The patio was a nice place to have coffee (or even iced chocolate ;-P) but not very child friendly as the seats were high, set with high tables. Yes, the place was a club/lounge in the evening, but I think alternative seating arrangements should be made available for the 'day crowd' which will obviously mean families bringing in kids. At the moment, they are having special promo on the coffee & croissants which claim to be the 'cheapest in town' for only RM5 per set. You can choose from latte, cappucino, etc. I am not a coffee person, so I stuck to my iced chocolate which was a wonderful not-so-sweet concoction with a nice dollop of vanilla ice-cream on top :-D

Aina has fascination with all things Christmas I think, and she loves to touch the sparkly decoration and ornaments (which kid doesn't right??)

TokMi bought her a cute Christmas 'sock' with a candy cane and bittersweet chocolate in it. She seemed a bit overwhelmed at all the deco around her, so in most pics she kida looks 'lost' LOL

see what I mean.............?

TokMi took Aina into one of the kiosks selling ornaments and deco, and bought Aina a small set of deco to play with

in the second pic above, Aina is seating down with Mama's huge shopping bag on her shoulder. In the huge bag is her sock of candy & chocolate, and her little box of tree deco, LOL LOL

Our lunch at Sakae Sushi :-D Aina shared Mama's Beef Ramen
I have just one comment about Sakae Sushi - the servers should make it a point to check if the customer is familiar with their way of ordering i.e. vie the individual computers set up at the tables. Good thing I'd been to one of their outlets, or else we'd be so upset that no one came by to take our orders, LOL LOL LOL

Nicely decorated tiny Christmas Tree

The red decorations were the ones TokMi bought for Aina to play with.

And before someone goes of ranting about that little tree, please just think of it as just a toy! Besides, duit raya, ang pows and Christmas presents have always been a part of our family since we come from a mixed parentage. Half of our family are Chinese Catholics so we observe almost all major holidays in the calendar just for the sake of enjoying the spirit of family and merriment :-D

And.... while Mama was Facebooking while watching TV and TokMi took a short nap,

after Aina's 'handy work' of opening up the 'presents' LOL

Needless to say we had a huge shock, not to mention a very comical moment when Aina proudly told TokMi to wake up to see her 'surprise' for TokMi! LOL LOL LOL

She's opened up all the 'wrapped presents' in red paper to see what were the 'gifts' inside, only to find small blocks of styrofoam which she proceeded to breakdown and scatter all over TokMi's room.... :-p

feigning ignorance after the damage

We all soon got ready again to go out for dinner at Aina's favourite place. As soon as we got up the escalators to the ground floor of 1 Utama in front of the Supermarket, Aina confidently led the way, LOL LOL LOL

On the way home, we stopped by Cake Sense to buy Aina's donuts....

...and this is how she looked when Babah came to pick us up :-D

Babah decided to go to the Drive-thru to get Berries McFlurry and a Large Coke, both of which was also enjoyed by Aina... LOL

pssst... she'd actually rubbed her face on TokMi's back when she hid behind TokMi during a suspenseful scene on Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (yup, MICKEY MOUSE!!!), and TokMi had jsut poured powder on herself. Hence, Aina's 'powdered look' LOL LOL LOL
