Something curious has happened recently.

I went shopping for a specific shirt from a specific store. I had previously spotted it at another store but they did not have my size in stock. So, while I was in the Bukit Bintang area in KL last week, I decided to look for it. I parked at Lot 10 and began my search there. I asked the concierge whether they had that store in Lot 10 and was told that the store is located in Pavilion instead.

Pavilion?!!

I don’t know when it happened but I was surprised that I am now shopping for clothes in an up market mall. I have never considered myself someone who would shop at Pavilion. I have nothing against over-priced clothes but people who know me know that I do not intentionally spend money on these things. It was a pleasant surprise in a weird sort of way.

So, after buying the shirt, I thought to myself – at least I am still shopping at Reject Shop too!

It’s odd how things turn out sometimes. I normally carry my phone with me everywhere and rarely ever get a phone call. However, I forgot to bring my phone out with me this morning and I came home to find 5 missed calls and 3 text messages demanding my attention. So, while I normally have my phone with me, nobody looks for me; and on the one day that I forget to bring my phone with me, lots of people look for me. It just has to go wrong that way.

Potential scam? I don’t really know. But I received two of these exact emails today and the email addresses were weird because their TO and FROM addresses were both the same.

I have been doing quite a bit of walking/jogging in recent months and have been using an old pair of shoes. However, the old pair was not suited for walking/running and my legs have been hurting after each session. So, I just randomly decided that I needed a new pair of good shoes.

I went to The Gardens Mall and visited various shoe stores there from Adidas to Nike. I tried on various shoes and finally came away with one conclusion – Nike Free. Compared to the other shoes, only the Nike Free shoes felt like I was not wearing any shoes at all; and they were extremely comfortable to boot. So, that’s my big purchase of this week.

As interesting as the trip to Japan was, I find myself still generally pissed-off at life after returning from Japan. Looks like it did little to help me recuperate and recharge my batteries. Even my soak in the hot baths did little to iron out the kinks in my back.

I need a significant change in my life to avoid being pissed-off.

PS: I bought myself some toys from Akihabara – a Macross VF-1A (Max Jenius); and a Perfect Grade Wing Gundam Zero.

I left out the photos from Mount Fuji and Tokyo Dome Hotel because they were shot in RAW and I have not the time to process them presently. The following are a selection of JPEG photos.
