Gate-way to Malaysia: Malls in Malaysia

by Child 2

So,

Malaysia happens to have a LOT of malls. We've gone to a couple since we've gotten here- at the first one (D'Pulze, Cyberjaya) I got a stuffed animal dog, at the second one (3damansara, Petaling Jaya) I played at an arcade, the third one (IOI city mall, Putrajaya) we found a super cool playground thing, and the fourth one (MyTown, KL) there were some people dancing to really loud music.

The first mall we went to, the first thing we did was eat at a noodle restaurant. The food was really good! I had noodle soup with clams. Yum! After we ate, we decided to look around the mall a bit. We found a store where we got a bookcase and two stuffed animals for Buster and me (Christmas presents). Mom and Child 1 looked around a clothing shop, but they didn't get anything. On the second floor of the mall, we looked in a music store to see if we could rent a piano, but decided to go somewhere else to rent it. On the fourth floor of the mall, there was a movie theatre and a a bowling alley!

The second mall we went to, the reason we went there was to rent a piano. So we did! I wanted an electric piano but mom says that they sound bad for classical playing. Oh well. We walked around for a while until, on the second floor, my brother Buster and I spotted some lights. We ran toward them. They were just some rides for babies but next to them, next to them, there was... oh joy... AN ARCADE! (Cheers)

Arcade!!!

Dad gave us some money, we exchanged it for arcade tokens, and then ran around uselessly spending our money on games. First we tried some of The Claw games, which are super hard and absolutely, utterly impossible.Then I tried this game in the picture, where you bonk stuff with a hammer. I got prizes! Then we tried some game where you have to catch some eggs that were falling... I didn't do too well at that. Then we played this fishing game for a long, long, loooooong time until we finally ran out of money. It was super fun!

The third mall we went went to, we went into a shop to buy some kitchen supplies-- pans, etc. Then we walked around, Buster and I keeping a sharp eye out for any arcades. Finally, we spotted one! It wasn't quite as good as the first one, though. It only had Impossible Games. However, behind this arcade, there was a huge playground thing called "District 21".

There was soooooo much cool stuff! Mom said that we could make a playdate with our friends there on Tuesday. We haven't gone there yet, but I can bet that it'll be fun!

The fourth mall we went to the first thing we did was grab a couple bubble teas. They were delicious, and we drank them in a short amount of time. The next thing we did was go to Ikea. the entrance was HUGE! We stumbled around a bit until we found the couch & chair section. We sat and lounged on comfy chairs and couches. One of them was super comfy, but one of them was horrible. It had a metal frame and a thin piece of cloth around it. It creaked when you sat on it. Worst couch ever! But the couches that we did get were extremely comfy. We went though a lot of sections of Ikea trying to get out, including the bed section. Here's a picture of me lying on a bed.

It took us really long to find our way out. Finally we found the section where you pay- which took us a long time, too. After we were done ordering our couches, we decided to walk around for a while. There were a lot of clothing shops, clothing shops... ARCADE!! This arcade didn't have a lot of games with prizes, but after we only had one token left, we tried some kind of candy game. We got two caramel candies! Yum! After the arcade we all got hungry, so we went to a noodle restaurant. I had to wait super super duper duper long to eat because I wouldn't eat anything with meat in it. We were all going to share the soup, but everyone else was full. So I had to eat it all, even though I'd wanted to order a different one.

After dinner we walked around a bit more. In the middle of the mall there were these people dancing in these bizarre golden crop-tops and sparkly black skirts. They all jumped around a lot. There was a huge screen behind them. They danced and sung and the people in the crowd sang along with them. Child 1, my sister, says they were you-tubers. After watching them for a while we went to eat ice cream. I got chocolate hazelnut but it tasted like regular chocolate. Buster, my brother, got chocolate. Child 1 got lemon sorbet. Mom and Dad got coffee.
