Killing time

Killing Time


What do you do when you have 90 minutes to killed every week?

I used to have this problem when my son was taking Mandarin tuition in Taman Tun Dr. Ismail. It was on Saturday afternoons just after lunch.

We would bring him for lunch first at Restaurant OK where they served the best curry mee and char keuy teow this side of KL. Then off we whiskd him to his place of study.

Initially, we did not know what to do with the 90 minutes. We would literally walk around TTDI aimlessly, spend sometime in a mamak shop and do some by-the -way shopping at the neighbourhood supermarket.

With time, we knew we could go over to One-Utama by parking on the other side of the shopping complex. We did just that and we soon were shopping at the Jaya Jusco and Giant Supermarkets buying our week's marketing requirements.

Now we are once more saddled with time to kill. Our daughter is taking up Mandarin tuition in Aman Suria. We do not have the pleasure of a supermarket nearby. We only have a 2 mamak shops and a Watsons.

It is really difficult to kill time and so I have to order a teh tarik and read until its time to fetch my daughter.
