So, after the very-easy-but-time-wasting LA exam was done (I spent 5 minutes laughing over images of maids 'doing' dishes) Austinians clotted together and did 'the Austin thing' - standing around in some random place like we're waiting for manna / collecting karma. Somehow, we always manage to attach purpose to this activity - we were supposedly waiting for:
a) KayJay to come back from the toilet
b) Bamboo and PreCal Mouse to stop raping each other
c) Louisa and Charis to see DOW
d) Beluga to un-beach himself from the classroom
e) Bugger to come back from prayers
f) God to get fed up and shower us with money so that we can move our asses and go get taxis already, dammit.
After that, we blobbed all the way to the taxis at the bus 'station' and finally moved our asses to Sunway Pyramid. That taxi driver initially charged us RM35, but I gave him the bewildered-and-hurt expression, so he asked me what's the real price. I said RM20 :) damn, should've tried for 10.
On arrival at Sunway Pyramid, I scooted off to Popular because I've been dying to get that Terry Pratchett book and I assumed they will do 'the Austin thing' again and I thought by the time they decide where to eat, I'd be done getting the book already. But the bloody Popular only had one copy of the book, and it was frayed at the edges. Damn. And Austinians decided to do 'the Austin thing' right smack among the cramped aisles of books. Talk about an invasion, I think we spooked Customer Service.
After that we headed to lunch at Sakae Sushi. Got plonked into the same booth as Bugger, Beatrice, Bamboo, Baba and Charis. By some contrivance of sniggering Austinians, or some hole in the fabric of the Universe, the spot beside Baba was gapingly empty when I walked in. Hmm... And I thought I was the Class Cupid.
Anyway, we got to ordering and I got excited over this thing called Miso Cheese Nabe Udon - because "Nabe!" is a hokkien swear word. Ahah! Imagine what a profanity tastes like! But the waiter came and told us that they ran out of my choice. Nabe betul. At last had to settle for salmon, rice and unagi temaki. But I shall not rest till I tasted a Nabe! I shall not! Nabe!
And I was too absorbed with the food to care about the camwhores. It wasn't very conducive to camwhore anyway, cuz the wooden things with holes in the middle were in the way. But heck, nothing can get in the way of Arif when it comes to camwhoring. Guy always manages to ooze himself into focus. It's like, you take a photo, and you think you managed a rather good shot, but when you view it, Nabe! Arif is in the way!
So, yes. Lunch was very fun. But it is nothing compared to what's next!
But later, ok? Later. And in case you are wondering, no, I has no photos.
