Today is Cass' first trip to the mall in 4 months. She's not gone out of the neighborhood ever since the 2nd CMCO was imposed more than 2 months ago. If not for her eye power check at ISEC @ Mid Valley Megamall, she would have continued to be a hermit, waiting for the CMCO to be lifted 😓
Today's outing to the mall is like her release from prison. She asked me to bring her to all her favorite stores in Mid Valley Megamall ~ MPH and Popular book store, Lego store, Typo, Muji and the toy stores at the Concourse area to check out Harry Potter merchandise. She's a true blue Potterhead and is still very much in love with this character after 4 years.
Cass requested to have brunch at Go Noodles House so that she could check out the books at MPH while I wait for the food. Go Noodles House is located right outside MPH.
The Christmassy atmosphere at the mall is not as intense and joyous as it used to be in previous years. At this time of the year in previous years, Mid Valley Megamall would be packed with shoppers and tourists. There would be long queues at fitting rooms, stage performances, Santa Clause/Santarina making their rounds at the mall and distributing gifts and I would have to make more than 100 rounds at the car park to find a place to park. I see none of these this year and I have to be very cautious with every Ringgit that I spend.
There ain't much difference in Cass' eye power since her last check up in June this year, albeit a slight increase on the left eye - which is the good eye, no thanks to excessive screen time and her persistently forgetting to wear her glasses. She now needs Myopine eye drop on both eyes to slow down the progression of myopia. Her next eye power check will be in 9 months. And her bill today inclusive of 2 super tiny bottles of Myopine eye drops cost RM260! 😱
