  Holland V ... the hang out of my poly days ...

  I believe they're called Elite Bookstore. The owner's a female, right? Well-groomed all the time cuz she used to be a Secretary.
  
  Yup, it's still there, although their employees have all changed.

  They close Lorong Mambong to traffic in the evenings. And I'm in Holland Village almost every day...in the early morning though. It was a favourite haunt for us in my JC days.

  During my time, I recall there was a roadside corner restaurant selling really good Ipoh sar hor fun (pardon my sucky Cantonese) just off one of the main roads in central HV. Is the restaurant still there?

  There'll be a train line serving Holland V in a few years' time.
  
  Right now, the front pathway in front of the entire stretch starting from Watson's up to the end of the magazine store, is boarded up for construction works.
  
  And oh, that small two-lane road beside the old KFC... it's now a one-lane road for incoming traffic.

  The Coffee Club's rear roof has cats sleeping on it at night.

  How about dinner at Foster's and then we proceed to maybe, Haagan Daaz or NYDC for desserts, and then, to a pub, either Eskibar, Wala Wala or Harry's?

  Just now, ate at the Yee Cheong Yuan store (Kai See Meen store).
  
  Ordered the Prawn noodles with special sauce but they ran out of special sauce and didn't even bother to tell us about it! Mom was mad cuz we paid more for a lousy plate of noodles. Shoulda crossed over to Crystal Jade where their dry prawn noodles are ooooooohhh, sumptious!!
  
  Then, we passed by the nasi lemak stall and wah... looks soooo nice, the liao!!
  
  Will try the nasi lemak next time! Deathy's recommendation!

  The terms 'honeys' and 'lasses' are interchangeable to me.
