Shut your lasers down while you can.

I wanted to write a post that is heavily inspired by Robyn, The Hoosiers and, Panic! at the Disco, but decided against it, in case i would have to explain my cryptic words to all of you (if you want those kind of posts, go to Mei's blog. lol). And also, i would have to work extremely hard to come up with "words that you might not understand yet feel that it sound extremely deep", which i would also have trouble understanding. So i shall just blog about what i have been up to all these while when i wasn't in Cyberjaya:)



The place's name is Pick 'n' Brew. (went with Mie)


Probably in reference to the types of coffee that you can mix and match. It is reasonably priced (if a cup of coffee at RM9.00 is said to be reasonable, which i think is - if it's good of course). Any by gosh, any restaurant with a salt+pepper shaker is mixed into one, and the background looks like some posh restaurant, i'm all for it. lol. Located in some back alley somewhere in One U.

(Jas will know, she ate too much beef at Seoul Garden opposite this restaurant and is now sick).





Plus, there's an over view of the highway, so you can see if you should leave now, or wait for the traffic to clear up first. Nifty idea huh? Also, i didn't ate there, but from what i have spied around upon, the portions are a tad bit tiny. But if you do go there, and have a taste, let me know.

I had the Iced Irish Cream Latte, and Mie had the Hazelnut Latte. Mine was a bit strong (and mighty delicious) so my tastebuds were gone by the time i tasted the hazelnut. Mie says it's good though. Worth checking out.


And i went to Sunway Pyramid yesterday, and suprise suprise! I met 3 (YES THREE!!!) mmu students there. It's a new record for me personally, because the only one time that i have seen mmu students anywhere in the klang valley area (unexpected meetings of course) was David in Mid V. (Jas and Abdul not counted.) Anyways, i was driving into the new parking area, and surprise, surprise, i saw this!


Yes! Finally! an indicator which parking bay is full, and how many were empty of course. lol. There's this indicator light thingie that you can see from far, red for occupied, green for ya know. Anyways, it was a good sign overall:) Mie says it's been implemented eons ago in S'Pore. Oh well, at least we have it now. =P



The light above is the indicator light. (no the car is not mine). I actually waited for this car to get out of the parking lot (closer to the stairs ya see), and waited for the lights to turn green. (Jakun i know. sue me. lol) Anyways, this is the sensor thingie :

Looks like some laser that is pointed towards your car (actually,there is a laser to detect whether there is an object there, it shoots a beam of light, then measures....oh never mind). Hope it would zap all those people who park as though their cars are too huge. lol.

And oh oh. They remind you to take a photo of the pillar which states the bay number your car is parked at. And of course being a nut head that would often forget where i parked my car (but Mie was with me, so no reason to snap photo, but i did it either way. =P ) I snapped a photo of it:)



And oh oh oh. The new wing is nice:) A part of it reminded me of MMU, due to the insane amount of Middle Eastern people there. lol. Here's a shot of the street.


It's the ceiling of the floor. I swear! It's nice and pretty. The shops look rustic, and rustic. Then we somehow ended up going to this weird floor that divides into three lanes of shops. It's utter madness. If you were to go to all shops, ziggady zaggady, it would take you roughly 34632.23 minutes!

Anyways, here are some shots of what they sell (could only take pics of stuff that people weren't blocking + colourful things)


Nope, they aren't berries, they are lovely sweets:)

Bears waiting to be devoured! gasp!

Bears' friends waiting to be taken home. Poor bears.

Another reason why they say piracy is rife in Malaysia. =P

After that, of course, a trip to the loo. Lol. I don't know why i get fascinated by signages. It's weird i know, but you have to admit that this is kinda unsual.

They *almost* look gay. =P

Anyways, after that we went to Jack's Place (front entrance of Pyramid) to have lunchie:) Hitz.fm's Rock, Shop and Recover Grand finals was being held there, and Mie knows Chunky Munkie, one of the Hitz.fm crew. I tak tahu. lol.


On to the lunch then. We were served by Fad, a lovely waitress, who did all our bidding with no questions asked. Gave us her outmost attention as well (partly because we were one of two table occupied at that time. lol ) But she was a darl, so next time if you do go there, ask for her:)

We had the set lunch, lasts from 11am till 4 pm. One soup, one main course, one drink (coffee or tea) and one dessert. All for RM20 before tax (RM15 if you don't take the steak). Offer is on everyday with different menus.

So we had mixed mushroom soup, steak with brown/almond sauce and iced coffee:) Mie changed her soup for lobster bisque. And in 5 mins, my coffee came first!

Adjustable coffee. Lovely. Coffee's kinda bland though, and i poured in too much milk.

Mie's lobster soup. Was a bit strong tasting for me, salty for her. Mushroom soup was okok la.

Steak! Med rare for me, Med well for her. The almonds were a suprise. It was good! And oh, underneath the steak were slices of potato drowned in spiced and grilled. Lovely. And sunny side up eggs always make my day:)

Lastly the desset. Too bad it was honeydew (Mie and me no likey honeydew) So we left it at that. But Fad upon realizing that we haven't touched our desserts when she came for the plates, offered us ice-cream instead! Even when Mie already took a bite of her dessert. That my friends, is called customer service. *evil grin*

Choco for her, Vanilla for me:)


It was a lovely experience (and i tipped her, fad, as well. rare i know =p ) but there was one very quirky thing i can't get rid of. There was a woman staring at me all the time. lol. Pic below.

Oh well, i couldn't be bothered as i was too busy eating and talking to Mie (who is a whole lot prettier) *grins* So that's about it i guess. Adios People!

Cheers!
