A Special Day Out!

Hmm, I don't usually post things like this but today has been the happiest day for me recently. 

There were just too many things going on in my life which is giving me a lot of stress and a hectic life.

I didn't really plan for this to happen but it just happened so naturally that after we went dinner with ms winnee the other day! 

While I was telling them how much I enjoyed Common Man Coffee Roasters when I was in Singapore last year and they're opening up a branch in KL, unexpectedly and unbelievably, ms winnee said that she'll go there with me.
Furthermore, I have been "harassing" the others in the FB group to go to Common Man with me but only Jeng Mun entertained me...hahaha...
 and then, it ended up that a special person actually went there with me! =)

Oh my gosh!!! Who would have thought that this is going to happen?

It didn't seem real to me at first as well, not until after the meet up this noon. 

I have been telling her that I'm scared to have lunch or dinner with her alone without the others because we might not have things to talk about or perhaps I just feel uneasy being with her alone or intimated for the fact that she was, and will always be my lecturer. 

She told us the other day that we can stop calling her "ms winnee" since she no longer teach in Help, but I guess that's just how we show our respect to her right?

Once a teacher, forever a teacher in our life!

Especially a respectable and a legendary one! =)

Well I guess over the year, we have got closer with each other and I'm more mature maybe, so we kinda talk like we are friends despite the fact that the status difference is still there, I think.

She still is my lecturer!!! 

But I do realized that I was getting more and more comfortable around her over the years and after today's lunch with her, with the only two of us, imagine that!

If that happens when I was still in uni, that would have triggered a lot of stress in me! 

I have decided to write it down today because today was definitely a memorable one!

Furthermore, we're going to some where special, the Common Man!!!

I have been wanting to pay it a visit ever since I knew that they are opening in KL!

*well those who understand it will understand*

The atmosphere was nice and it was a hippie cafe, this place is bigger as compared to the one in Singapore and the interiors are modern and adequately decorated. 

Furthermore, the coffee was nice too, according to ms winnee, my cousin said so too, I'm not an expert in coffee, so I'll not judge their coffee, but their french fries' cheese sauce was definitely beyond our expectation, it was finger licking good and really special too!!!

We both agreed that we'll miss the sauce, LOL.
In addition, we sat at table number 12, which was my birthday date,
this just makes this place and the whole thing more unforgettable...

It was a relaxing day for me and I enjoyed it so much because we just chat on some random thing and keep up with each other's life I guess. 

That's the beauty of having less people in gathering/meet up I think. 

But I guess it's also because the fact that it doesn't happen frequent, which makes it more precious and I really appreciate it, a lot. 

After all, it's really not easy for us to keep in touch with the people that we would like to keep in touch in life and as we grew older, we realize how difficult it is. 

Sometimes, when we want to keep in touch with some friends while there might be many different factors that hinder it.

Thus, I really appreciate it when we get to keep in touch with her over years and it's everyone's effort for keeping in touch actually. 

Because when one person is not making an effort or just decided to stop keeping in touch, our meet up will definitely end there. 

So far, we are lucky because we were able to meet at least once or twice a year, I think. 

I really hope that this will continue to happen in the future until the day when God no longer allows it to happen? I don't know, I just hope that we'll be able to spend more great times together in the future as it really helps me to get through the hectic life that I'm having and it adds colours to our life.     

By the way, their business is GOOD despite the fact that their food and drinks are pricier than an average cafe and we were both wondering who said that the economy is bad if we are viewing it from this place itself only?

Although we didn't have to queue for our turn (probably because there are only two of us), but there were a lot of customers come and go and I can foresee that this cafe is going to grow into one of the hottest whereabouts in town. 

But one disadvantage will be difficulty of getting parking there because we both took some time to get a parking spot as we all know, TTDI is a busy neighborhood!

and being Malaysians, nearest parking spot!!!

Personally, I'm not that bad like I used to be, I can tolerate walking a lot more nowadays. 

What can we expect, right? It's TTDI!

But we do realized that there is an underground parking space beside it after we were there, I wonder how much will it cost...

As for Sunday, the parking spots out there are free. 

So perhaps going there on a Sunday is a good plan because you don't have to fight with the working crowds and bank goers and parking spots are more easily available as compared to weekdays, I think.
