Her trip part 2

I woke up the next day, with the biggest smile on my face. Wanting to make sure she would be well taken care of, I rushed to make her breakfast. She was more eager to shower me with gifts (and when I say shower, i mean pouring down). My baby is my santa. She knew what I wanted. She knew what I needed. She got exactly what I had in mind. It was 3 before we(my friends as well) were all ready to head off to Mega Khimki which is a mall all the way up north of Moscow. Before that, we had to stop by the office of the hostel to arrange a guest room for her. I had forgotten that the office doesn't open on weekends. She was upset. It's only been hours since she got to Moscow, and I had made her cry. It broke my heart but there was nothing I could do. I had booked the room earlier but because of the sudden change of plans I didn't reconfirm with the director of the hostel nor did I pay for the guest room. She wanted so much to spend some alone time with me but there was nothing else I could do. Looking on the bright side, we didnt have to pay for her stay here plus we did get to spend some alone time together, but that's another story. We walked down to the first floor, and waited for the last member of our gang. I could tell she was still mad at me, so I suggested waiting outside so she could play with the snow. She stayed silent while I took her outside. I convinced her to make a snowball and throw it at me just to vent out her dissapointment. Don't think it worked though. Anyway, my friends came later on and we made our way to the metro. I loved being in the metro. Most of the time I made sure we took a different wagon from my friends just so I can hold her without them finding out about us. Didn't think she understood what my agenda was because she kept waving over to them.

Upon arriving at Mega, we immediately started walking towards Starbucks. It opened just a few months ago and everyone here is just excited about it. I on the other hand have no idea why. The staff there were really friendly. Baby was really anxious to buy those Moscow Starbucks mug for her sister and kept on pestering me to buy her a Starbucks teddy. I agreed at first thinking that the price was 250rubles but upon paying for it, the cashier told us it was actually double the price written on the tag. Stupid people. We ended up not buying anyway, but we did stop by this really cute shop selling marshmallows. Baby was excitedly picking the ones she wanted. Yeah, it was like a kid at a candy store. *rolls eyes =p

We parted ways with my friends because baby dragged me into this shop to see shoes. It's her passion. I must learn to respect that. HUHUHUHU. Never really been shopping with baby alone. She pulled me into all this girly shops which I swear I've never been into before. At that time I suddenly realised what it must be for my dad, shopping with my mum. And like him, I rather follow her around and carry all her stuff and do no shopping for myself. After a whole lot of walking, I decided to finally find the whereabouts of my friends. I found one of them sitting on a bench while the others went off to Ikea. And while my baby started off her girly conversation with my pal, I started looking around of some other form of entertainment, and whaddaya know. I was sitting next to this Xbox promotion set up, where they allow people to test the games. I got up and stood behind this tiny russian boy who was choosing cars for his race game. His mother suddenly came up beside me and asked me in russian if I wanted to join him since he didnt have anyone to race with. "Okay!!" hehehe. I didnt know how to work the controls as it's very much different from PlayStation's and the little boy beside me was gladly choosing my cars for me and showing me how to manouver my car. I felt old then, but who cares! We were both enjoying ourselves that when the race is over I begged his mum to let us have another round. Hahaha. She was a very nice lady. She asked me where I came from, and what I was doing in Moscow and what course I was doing. I was quite shocked to know she knows where Kuala Lumpur is. She also told me my Russian was good. Found that hard to believe.

My friends returned from Ikea upon purchasing a comforter. Our stomachs rumbled as we agreed to head back home for dinner. Baby slept on my shoulders throughout the whole journey back. She hasn't had much rest from the night before and I could see how tired she was. She snores at night, blowing air into my ears. I think I tried closing her nose to see if she would stop. That only works for awhile though. Hehe.

Dinner was packed back from sinbad. While my roomate went to get the food, me and baby decided to spend a little alone time together. Unfortunately the time we had wasn't enough for us to get very far. I really can't recall what we did after dinner but exhausted from the day we all reclined and slept, knowing tommorow would be another eventful day.
