Shopping Adventure

Hired a car commencing last Saturday (23rd Feb) from Select Shell retail outlet. Got a Toyota Yaris (manual lagi tu.....); kalau si Ahmad Azzhar ikut, memang bibiran ia tu, inda beranti mulutnya berucap "begagarr" bah.

So, on Sunday decided to drive to the Gold Coast. Konon-kononnya wanting to have dinner at my favourite halal Malaysian Chinese seafood restaurant, The Golden Legend. Before that, singgah dulu di Factory Outlet shopping centre at Harbour Town. I didn't get much items there, except that I bought a Tarocash shirt on a 50% discount (banar kah tu?). When we got to the Nike store, we were nearly towards the end of "special discount period" (about to last in seven minutes time). Jobe and Kaka Zat frantically grabbed anything that they could get hold of to qualify for that special discount! Gila eh, within seven minutes they managed to get what they wanted - kalau kediaku payah lagi memilih-milih lagi tu!!

Habis shopping di Harbour Town, berinut-rinut tah mendrive ke Gold Coast (pesan si Dannie, mesti balikan ku T-shirt di Surfers Paradise). Matahari pun sudah condong ke barat dan parut pun sudah mengeriuk bunyinya. Jobe pun udah merasa paning-paning lalat - inda ia lagi tahan duduk batah-batah di kereta, katanya. Sampai sahaja di Surfers Paradise, Gold Coast, dengan inda membuang masa terus meluru ke Golden Legend. WHAT A GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT!! Pintunya bertutup rapat dan ada notis ditampalkan di pintu menyatakan restoran ditutup sementara buat beberapa hari sejak hari Jumaat, 15hb Feb sehingga hari Khamis, 28hb Feb ini. Pun..pun..sia-sia pun.....dengan lemah longlai berpatah arah menuju ke kedai makan Maharani (juga kedai makan Halal kepunyaan pengusaha dari Malaysia), tetapi menunya agak terhad kepada masakan biasa-biasa stail masakan Malaysia lah. Tidaklah setanding dengan apa yang dihidangkan di Golden Legend!!

Selepas makan, jalan-jalan sebentar di kawasan shopping street mall di Surfers Paradise dan fnally drove home back to Brisbane at around 9.00 in the evening.
