The Pavillion

Unlike some people who can write beautifully in a flash, it took me quite some time to come out with a proper and well-written entry. My English is deteriorating due to the fact that we used Bahasa Melayu as our main language here at work. So basically I'm stuck in the middle now. English so-so, BM pun so-so jugak. Since I'm pretty much tied up with work, I'm going to use the "sempoi" and "rojak" approach for my entry. Nak jimat masa.

Anyway, kitaorang every weekend mesti keluar, usually on Saturday. Kalau Sunday, sampai tengahari je. Petang to malam, we would prefer to stay at home to prepare our mind and body for work the very next morning.

Last weekend, we decided to go to the brand new The Pavillion KL (MummyRizq mesti dah tahu every ceruk kat shopping mall ni since office dia depan tu je). I got a lil bit sentimental when visiting this place as my school used to be built on the same piece of land. I got more sentimental bila Hubby cakap "entah-entah tempat yang kita diri sekarang ni used to be your classroom". Tidak!! Tetiba lagu "This used to be my playground" nyanyian Madonna berkumandang kat dalam kepala.

Well, this place is huge! Rasa macam lagi besar daripada MidValley. Sakit jugak tapak kaki menapak dari satu hujung ke hujung yang lain. The stores inside are similar to those that you can find at Suria KLCC...or probably more. Ashraff was mesmerized with the Christmas deco, and I had to explain what is Christmas Tree to him. Hey, seriously tak berjaya ok that part sebab I pun taktau the answer for it.






And then just like the Curve, ada one level tu penuh dengan shops selling children's stuffs...Baby Gap, Hallmark, Giordano Jr, Pumpkin patch etc. Naik julinglah mata tgk baju bebudak. The only thing that stopped us from buying them lots of baju is because Ashraff and Aliff dah dapat banyak baju as hadiah masa party hari tu. It's no different than any other children shops...cumanye it's more children-friendly. Dalam satu kedai tu ada slide...lepas tu ada satu kedai pulak ada TV pasang cerita Finding Nemo...and then ada satu kedai tu sediakan kerusi meja and colouring page untuk bebudak. So apa lagi, Ashraff and Aliff had a really jolly good time...

At Pumpkin Patch...


The salesgirl siap hang lagi hasil kerja Ashraff. Ashraff tersipu-sipu malu tengok kerja dia kena tampal kat dinding. Yelah, first timekan kena pamer kerja in public...Ibu pulak terbeli 3 helai T-shirt sementara tunggu anak di habis colour...

Main slide at Giordano Jr....

Aliff yang kepenatan tidur selama 2 jam di dalam stroller dan sambung lagi satu jam kat dalam kereta dan rumah...

Senang cerita, we spent like almost 4 hours there. Tapi I don't think we cover the whole place. Yang sedihnya, we all tak dapat nak beli J Co Donuts & Coffee sebab beratur panjang amat. Sampai melimpah keluar kedai. Tak dapat beli yang tu, we went all the way to 6th floor to jengah Big Apple Donut pulak. Tengok2 tutup (ke kedai tak bukak lagi). Frust! So petang tu jugak Hubby pergi Tesco Cheras to buy Big Apple. Lazat!

One thing yang best masa pergi Pavillion ni is Ashraff tak buat hal. This is the first time we tried to talk to him dalam kereta on the way pergi supaya jangan mintak apa-apa toys and CD. Kalau buku, I don't mind buying. And alhamdulillah he listens...so takdelah aksi2 jerit2 satu shopping mall tengok kat The Pavillion KL...

ija, u went there sunday morning kan? sbb .. i ternampak mcm muka matpet..tapi kat tingkat atas..(tgk gambar tu, dia pakai baju merah..memang sah lah!)malas plak nak kejar. we were there from 10.30~2pm eheheh..our second house dah pavilion tu. :)
J.co, 10am pon dah ramai.. tension tul.
best pegi situ..sbb boleh biar je haariz lari. sbb lapang..

tips on buying J.co:
pagi2 sebelum mandi, terus je pegi pavillion. :P sbb i tgk org dtg ngan shorts, t.shirt, selipar jepun. beli & balik. erghh..!

Ibuhaziq: Yes, 4 hrs! Break the record betul. Tu yg sakit2 tapak kaki tu. Nasib baik Aliff tido. Kalau tak nak kejar dua org, parah! I think staff misc ramailah...tak sempat nak kenal.

nomee: Alahai...gambar jumaat ni baru dpt. So next week baru bleh post some pix.

Nana: Photos? Next week ok. I pun blom tgk lagi. Fitri skang dah tak pandang dunkin donuts sejak ada big apples. Dasar habis madu sepah dibuang betul! Haha..

rafiqaheliza said...

Kaezrin: You shld! But as I said, the shops are similar to KLCC je..cuma tempat dia luas and not that crowded. X ramai org pegi lagi kot. Ashraff kalau colour mmg very the berhati2. Kalau terkeluar sket, terus dia campak colouring book tu sebab marah. I pulak naik berhantu tgk dia perangai camtu..hehe.

Hani: The doughnuts look the same too! Entah2 one of the partners squabbled and open a new company, selling the exact same thg. Kena google nak tau lebih lanjut ni. Errr..Gardens?

Farid: Laa..korang ada ke hari tu? Idrees ada skali tak? Sampai skang tak tgk dia lagi. Now pavillion dah ambik alih Great Eastern ye. Dulukan u all suka GE mall. Thanks for the tips on buying J Co!

masa i first nampak the title "pavilion" terus i pikir...noooo...that's my school hehehe...

wahhh...siap spent 4 hours there. i actually teringin nak pergi the gardens ni. tapi awal2 dah kena plan what time, what day, what method of child carrier :)

p/s ur family macam mine. we can only go out on saturday and the first half of sunday. later part of sunday is for mentally & physically preparing for the week ahead.

Eiseai: Yes! Terasa bengang ok bila dia robohkan our school. Can't show to my kids my old school. They should have maintain some part of the school and built a modern shopping mall from the padang onwards, connected to the old building. And then lagi classic, namakanlah BBGS mall ke..hehe..
