Fruitful Week! (Part 1)

This week(end) can be said to be quite fruitful. Have been working at Guardian 1 Utama again (yay it's good to be home!) and this time as a locum. Ahh the irresponsibilites. Of course there're less recognizable faces but the promoters are still all here, some executives are still here, and the other pharmacists are still here...for now. Anyways.

Must gripe about new parking fees at 1 Utama. Why? WHY? Extra RM2 per hour after 6 hours! And one of 1U's selling points is its' RM1 parking fee per entry! It chases their loyal customers that just love to indulge in a lazy day's lepaking lounging. If they were thinking: more customer turnover, why not just set the parking fees for the weekend a la MidValley? My options: (a) park at lad's house and walk to work, quite feasible provided weather is cloudy and windy and we're not late for work; (b) drive out during my break and back into 1 Utama again; (c) get someone to fetch us there; or (d) apply for employee's parking and park at the open air parking. Among all our options (d) is definitely not one option we'll ever entertain seriously.

Oh yes. Fruitful week. How?

Was our off day (ah bliss) and had planned to queue up early at GSC MidValley for tickets to Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire! After ages of waiting and much teaser trailers it's almost here! After all, book 4 is considered the best among the lot (inclusive of Half-Blood Prince) and so there's much to be expected from the movie: Quidditch World Cup, Beauxbatons and Durmstrangs, Triwizards Tournament, Voldemort...
Had noticed that Certified Drug Pusher was trying to reach us since 8am but we were asleep. Managed to call her back while in queue only for her to tell us that her friend couldn't get tickets today, reservation starts tomorrow. And 2 seconds later we'd the fella at the counter tell us the same thing. Gah! Wethoughts reservations could be done 3 days in advance? Had we known we'd had taken Tuesday off instead! Anyways, was at IT World browsing Nintendo DS games when disaster struck.

Probably you can see it creeping up on you...if not the sound of workers shouting, "Call maintenance! Call maintenance! Oi! Oi! Aaaah!" would have attracted interest. Yeeurgh...brown water...

Morning shift at 1 Utama. The plan: to rush to MidValley during our lunch break and snag tickets immediately! Takes what, 15 minutes to reach MidValley via Kerinchi Link? Must get tickets for 9pm Thursday show before lousy seats are left!
Success! Tickets snuggled safely in wallet. Starving now however. Snickers...yum.
After BodyCombat 'twas time for Domino's Pizza. About to leave Fitness First DU when lad noticed 8 missed calls...only to find out that Mario Kart DS is out! Alright then, lad gets pizzas, we get games. Meet at our place. Domino's Aloha Chicken and BBQ Beef...yum. Mario Kart DS...good.
