Memorial Weekend

What a long weekend... and it's never long enough isn't?!

I know I promise to give you an exclusive "in the life" of Daphnie for a week... and I've already missed 4 days... Please forgive me :OP My only excuse is, Paul was hogging the computer all weekend!! ahahahahahahahaa......

Let's see... as of Fri, babysat at the Whitings. Brought Conner & Baylie to the park. Met other children there (mostly between 6-10 yr olds... a few 14 yr old boys showing off stunts with their bicycle). I think I was the oldest lor... sob sob....aunty liao... Brought them to Panda Express (Chinese fast food) for dinner and then went for a walk at Petsmart (Hypermart for pets).

For the rest of the time, I've been shopping, shopping and shopping.... I know Liz, we're suppose to go shopping together. Can't help it.... 50% and additional 20%!! But, don't worry... I didn't spend all my money away... I've saved some for you ;o)

Went to a nearby shopping mall on Sat afternoon hoping to get some good deals... but sales were lousy so didn't get anything. When to an electronic store (Fry's Electronics, biggest in AZ) to look for a bigger hard disk. Our computer only has 40GB and it's running out of space... especially when I can download HK movies (average of 4-6GB per show!!) Ended up buying a DVD writer instead. A 19" LCD monitor caught our eyes.... in fact it was a 26" monitor + TV LCD that caught mine... but that's not attainable... at least for the moment. So we set out eyes on the 19" instead. ehheehehehee.......Went to watch Sahara (Matthew McConaughey, Penelope Cruz) after that.... wasn't a fantastic show... for $3.50 per person, can't complain lah....ehehehehehehe

Went shopping again on Sun, this time we went to the Factory outlet up north(Anthem Outlets). Usually only 20mins drive but the jam was so bad! Took us atleast 1hr. Bought some frocks... and a pair of Nine West pink shoes....ehehehehehee.... (Liz, we'll definitely go to this one.... and spend the whole day there! Furthermore I am a VIP member, so there's additional discounts. Yeah!!!) We then met up with PaMa (Our "ai yah" grandparents) for dinner at Bucca De Beppo (Authentic Italian food).

For those who don't know who PaMa is... they are friends that we met during our 1st trip to AZ. Retired teachers (educators) who are in their 70s, but definitely don't act or look like it!! They have more energy than we do! :O) We used to go and bother them every week to have dinner & play cards.... Ma's desserts are wonderfully yummy. And we still see them every week! We got to know them through Ming, and Ming knew them through Anne. Ming is Sarah's (the little girl i babysitted last week) mummy. Will introduce them another time.

So, Mon. Went for seafood buffet in Chandler (another city in AZ 45mins away). Yuckky... although only $7 per person, but not worth the drive. Good try though. We then went to Lee Lee, an Asian supermarket nearby (there's only 3 Asian supermarkets in AZ, the rest are grocery stores). We went to Fry's electronics again... a friend mentioned that there's 120GB hard disk on sale. Only $25!! Paul bought 2. Our friend was nice enough to drop by after that to help fix it in to our computer...so belanja (buy in Malay) them dinner lor...

So, that's our long weekend... gone in a blink of an eye.
