We have a water fountain in front of our main HQ office. There are pretty flowers lined up around the fountain area. On a hot day, it's nice and cooling to be standing beside the fountain.

To arrive at my office, you need to travel via these lifts that are situated in a marble-walled hall. There are eight lifts (i think), and there are two sets of these! Even then, it can take some time to wait for them. But once in a lift, it moves pretty quickly.
My nephew and I setup our mini home theatre by plugging the newly purchased DVD player with his Sony amplified four-speaker surround system. We then tested it by watching "The Matrix" rather loud. It was an awesome experience!
I purchased a new DVD player by Philips today. It only costs RM299! I remembered I bought a VCD player years ago for RM1400 (and this was then stolen.) It's remarkably powerful yet simple to use. It even managed to play CDs that were dirty and slightly scratchy.
On a holiday on the east coast, one would do island hopping, but in the capital, one would do hotel hopping. I get to visit hotels once in a while to attend conferences or seminars. Sometimes our office has meeting sessions at hotels. Nice things are the glorious settings and delicious food available at these expensive venues.
At a local shopping complex, there was a dance troupe from Africa staging a traditional tribal dance using somewhat current dance music.
Was passing into a local hotel today and there was a large toy train setup complete with an European landscape, in the lobby. This was for the coming Xmas celebrations. A variety of trains were moving on the tracks and there were numerous houses and building and tunnels constructed around the trains. Pretty cool.
About the only time to do a bit of grocery shopping during weekdays is in the evening. Needless to say, the shops would be filled with people and searching for a carpark is close to impossible. By the time you finished queuing and paying for your things, night has fallen.
Once in a while, don't you feel like just lazing about by a beautiful swimming pool amidst palace-like structures and heavenly surroundings? Well, that's how I feel like doing today, considering it's a Monday.
Not content with stuffing my belly with just Raya goodies, I went to a relative's birthday party which was held in a Thai restaurant and entertained my taste buds with the aromatic and spicy meals of the Siamese region. Almost every dish I sampled was terrific, so much so I hadn't any more space for the birthday cake.
