Tea Mania

I have the worst timing when it comes to getting out of the house. Not only is today Saturday (The day when Sekibang-like highschool brats hang out at BB displaying their Sekibangness) but it was pouring!

I originally wanted to go to KLCC today to check out some porn at Kinokuniya for Watashiwa-san, but also to get souvenirs. I'm free, so I thought I should spread the love. So anyway, since it was pouring and only got worse and worse as I exited the apartment, I didn't immediately hailed a cab to go to KLCC because I didn't want to stand in the rain. So I walked all the way to Sg. Wang because Giant is the cheapest supermarket in the area.

I bought a buttload of tea, inducing some amusing comments from a woman who was browsing the tea aisle beside me. xD My spoils for the day turned out to be only tea and some wrapping papers.

I have a couple of these boxes so I decided to fill it to the brim with tea. Watashiwa-san, this is for you. A lovely little package isn't it? XD



I mentioned before that I might try the gold blend, so here they are. I took out about a third of this into that other box. Have yet to try it though. But they make such nice gifts. I never thought of giving people tea as gifts before. Especially Malaysian tea. BOH is freakingly cheap for a Malaysian gift item. One box of Earl Grey is about 7.50, and the pack 100g is about 2.30. Compare that to some KLCC pewter junk. This one actually taste good!



I got a cab at Sg. Wang after much persuasion (damn you taxi drivers! Is that meter just there for decoration?!) I only stayed in KLCC for dinner, after which I made my way back to Times Square and then to Sg. Wang. I spent less than RM100 today. I'm amazed at myself.

Ta'ra!
