This post is labelled under damn random simply cos i cant fathom how a 10cm by 5cm ad in a magazine can get us to wake up early on a sunday and rush all the way into town by 10am.. Anyways, if you dont know what im gabbling abt, the August issue of Cleo had an ad that enabled the first 100 readers to flash that tiny ad to redeem a limited Poppy-chan doll from Coach.. and being addicted to collecting freebies lately, i happily went along with Lilian and Vivian to Pavillion when they 'ajak-ed' me.. @.@~
To get there, we had to take a bus, then switch to the monorail system.. Amazingly, when we wanted to enter the KL Sentral monorail station, we found that they were giving out free tickets.. I stupidly asked the guy what promotion there was and he jokingly replied that it was his birthday.. Should have known there was something fishy going on.. turns out that there was something wrong with the system that day and we had to stop for ages at each station, and a normally few minute long journey turned out to be almost an hour long..
In the end, we were so anxious to get there early that we decided to get down earlier and walk from times square to pavillion :S upon arriving at the Coach outlet on the third floor, we saw a couple of ppl outside the shop with quite a few paper bags dangling from their arms, turns out that we were still early tho, cos we got doll no. 48-50 respectively.. after some observation, we realised that some ppl (ok, most ppl) were redeeming more than one doll so we decided to try our luck and ended up with a total of 5 dolls.. the whole collection has a total of 5 designs..
No need to buy oso can get Coach paperbag, LoL..
Our haul.. for ages 14+.. muahahaha.. grown up toys~We had lunch at the Pavillion Ying Ker Lou branch which had horrible horrible service compared to the one in The Gardens that i had gone to previously... The waitress had a super sour face and literally snatched the menu from Lilian's hands when we said we'd skip the drinks cos we had planned to have dessert later.. Grr.. not going there ever again!
Had our dessert at a more satisfying place -- Snowflake!! I've wanted to try this ever since i saw ppl posting photos on facebook, cos it just looks so appetizing :)
Dunno why but i quite like the stall's design~
After you order, you get this interesting object called the 'beeping UFO' which informs you when you can go collect yr orders from the counter.. so cute lah...
cant see from the pic, but it vibrates as it flashes..
Mine: Taroball series with barley, sweet potato and taro balls.. obviously.. i actually regretted choosing this cos the ice was rougher than the other 2 types.. but still a nice cold treat~
Vivian's soya ice series with pearls, barley and sweet potato (which was very nice and sweet by the way), , the best of the three types i think, super smooth melt in yr mouth ice that tasted like soya milk and wasnt too sweet.. YUMMY!
Lilian's Cincau series with kidney beans, black glutinous rice and pearls.. the cincau was as smooth as advertised, very good.. :)

Surprisingly, we managed to collect four out of the five characters.. but on the other hand, a little disappointed that we missed out on the blue one called Violette.. on the bright side, 4 out of 5 quite a good score lah~
Goldy
Pinky
Pepper
Cherry
They look like they're ready to go off to school or something.. hehe
Ppl walking past kept staring at the 3 crazy girls taking photos of paper bags and paper boxes and playing with plastic, made in China dolls, but i think i've gotten rather muka tembok recently, so nevermind.. hahaha... I think i have gotten used to getting freebies.. Working at Mid Valley, we can collect at least one free sample a week.. looking forward to September.. free donuts and cupcakes from courtesy of Cleo mag and oso my RM250 Bausch and Lomb hamper which i won from the July issue.. whee~~ :D
