Being tourists aka no shopping centres pt 1

Mr & Mrs Kong are trying their hardest to take JW to places other than shopping centres.

Its hard as there aren't that many baby friendly places in KL and shopping centres are definitely the most convenient, there's food, no need to worry about sun or rain, the floor is smooth and Combi stroller friendly, there's lots for JW to look at and the best ones have great changing/feeding rooms (though they never have an extra chair for the father - cheh!)

Our top picks for shopping centre changing rooms are - Isetan @ Midvalley Gardens, Isetan @ KLCC, The Curve 1st Floor changing rooms.

Anyway, that's how the other week Mr & Mrs Kong took JW to KLCC park on a Sun evening. The park was packed out with tourists (or maybe KL's contingent of immigrant workers)!

Mr Kong could not resist a couple of tourist shots too:


With JW at the Twin Towers

Not much you can add to that. Hope JW noticed that it wasn't just a noisier, windier, hotter, green and blue shopping centre.

Severance - Movie Review


Mr Kong went to see a new British comedy-horror-thriller movie on Saturday called Severance. It was a sort of Deliverance meets Shawn of the Dead meets a corporate team weekend away. Mrs Kong passed, it really wasn't her kind of movie.

I thought it was very well done, scary but also very funny in parts. If you've ever been to a company team building exercise you will definitely nod your head and smile at some of the situations they find themselves in (boot-licking weak boss, the company cheerleader colleague, lousy accomodation, forced participation in innane games)...

... familiar territory that is except for the crazy, homicidal, gun & knife toting Eastern European insane asylum inmates on the loose...

Its definitely a good watch if you like your gore & scares mixed in with Britis irreverent humour. I was surprised how good it was as I expected a trashy B-movie. Thumbs up!
