Last minute shopping and nightclub bowling

This morning, I slept in and lazed around before Caz and I headed out to go shopping, leaving the boys to do their own thing. Caz took me to a great beading place called Gemworld. They had so much stuff it was all a little overwhelming. I spent an hour or so walking around looking at everything and then deciding on a few things to buy. I mainly bought tools as they are the hardest to find in KL.

On Saturdays, this place offered people a glass of sparkling wine and snacks as they browsed around the shops, and although it was a bit early, we did toy with the idea of cracking open a bottle of bubbles.

From Gemworld, we headed over to Chermside to look at a few of the shops. Caz and I both bought a few tops and then we met up with the boys for lunch at Grill'd. They headed off their own way again and Caz and I continued shopping for an hour or so. I ended up with 7 tops - not a bad haul.

We headed home and everyone pretty much had a nap in the afternoon. Once we all woke up, we decided to head into town to try Strike, a bowling/ nightclub. We started off having dinner at one of the restaurants in the middle of the Queen Street mall before heading to Strike. We had to wait for 20 minutes before a lane became available so we got ourselves a drink, played a game of pool and also some serious air hockey before heading to our lane.

We grabbed our shoes (trendy bowling shoes - not the daggy old ones I was used to) and headed to our lane. My first 4 frames were crap with a total of 7 pins down but from then on I got at least 9 on each frame. Ross and John had a tight competition for 1st and 2nd with Ross pipping John by 2 and Caz beat me convincingly for 3rd.

After our game, we walked down to the Treasury Casino. It was pretty busy being a Saturday night so we headed to the bar for a cocktail and listening to an amazing singer for a while. We then headed to the tables and I had a flutter on Blackjack - with absolutely no luck! I played 6 hands and the dealer won every one. But I had fun playing anyway. It seems that my loss had scared everyone else off so no-one played anything. We headed home about 11 after a good night out.
