Exsanguination Day at the Mall

Because Irfan’s Cik Emma missed having her blood drained out of her body, we took a drive to nearby Cheras Leisure Mall where a blood donation drive was under way last Saturday. Cik Su F, a-visiting from MIAT, was along for the ride.

There was a great number of people in line signing up for the blood donation. As Cik Su F covered Emma’s six, Irfan, Ain and I traipsed around the mall window shopping.

Leaving the lower levels of the car park, Irfan climbed the stairs looking for the way into the mall.

The first thing Irfan did, of course, was to make friends with a chick and play together.

After the chick left, Irfan deployed his toy vehicles from his pants’ pocket and share them with other kids in the area.

They played well together. When we left Irfan shook their hands and happily said, “Bye-bye”. Unfortunately I didn’t get a picture of Emma getting her blood sucked out of her arm cause as Irfan, Ain & I had lunch, they were done before we were done.
