what shall we do this weekend?

from discussion with several couple-y friends, there seems to be a consensus that THERE IS NOTHING TO DO IN PJ on weekend dates.

apart from the oneutama-midvalley routine, that is.

of course, one could always be a leetle more cultured/intellectual and visit like the national science centre, museum, watch theatre etc etc...but for the less motivated people (like myself and boyfriend, heheh)..here's a couple of easy-peasy date ideas that can be re-used and re-cycled fairly successfully - yes we have tried them!

note to nice young men devoid of first-date ideas: personally, these would make fairly good first impressions if i may say so myself..have a go and cross your fingers :)

1. Flea market shopping - the one at The Curve which runs during daytime on Saturdays and Sundays is AMAZING. Truly, good selection, good prices and quite a few finds which are not your run-of-the-mill made in china or korea stuff.

2. Sushi and dvd - rent a dvd and pot at home with takeaway sushi. Jaya Jusco at One Utama has a really yummy selection.

3. Nice long breakfasts - somewhere to stretch your legs, read the papers or look into each others' eyes (whichever fits your situation more), eat good food and enjoy the morning. i would suggest pizza uno at centrepoint bandar utama if you don't mind paying for a wholesome brekkie.

4. Jigsaw puzzles - fun way to bond and inexpensive as well! Word of caution about puzzles though...choose the illustration carefully, or you may wind up with an undone piece of artwork left in the living hall till kingdom come, with either you or your other half tearing the other's hair out, depending on whose house the puzzle is left in.

5. Board games - while kind of reminiscent of high school and not exactly uber-cool in certain circles, this can be really fun especially when friends are included. Yippee Club in One Utama (bubble tea place at the old wing near TGV) is quite good for this but unfortunately the games are only placed in the enclosed smoking area (why is this dear Yippee Club Management? tsk tsk..) Alternatively, i guess you could bring your own not-too-rowdy games to not-too-fussy coffee places for an evening of fun...just don't be the kiam-siap type that only order one drink la k?

ha..itu saja untuk hari ini,kawan kawan. please do share any other inspired weekend ideas - i am sure there's more to life than trawling shopping centres.

p/s: Forever 21 just opened recently in one utama ladies, and it's got really fun clothes :)
