We did go out last evening for dinner. We went to the Otak Otak Place at the Tropicana Mall for dinner and walked around the mall after that. As we were walking towards one of the shops, Ashley who was skipping beside me suddenly grabbed my hand and appeared really scared. She was on the verge of crying and I asked her what was wrong. She kept asking to go home. I told her that everything was ok because mommy and daddy were there. After she had calmed down, I asked her again what happened and why she was so scared. She told me not to ask her about it anymore. So I didn’t until bedtime. I talked to Ashley and pleaded with her softly to tell me what actually happened.
First she asked me not to scold her. Then she said, she saw a white face. OMG!!!!!! It was my turn to be scared. I know the Hungry Ghost Festival is over but it is still the 7th month in Chinese Lunar Calendar. I quickly asked her if she was very scared. She said yes. I asked her if that white face has long hair. She shook her head. She said it was wearing colourful clothing. Hmm….I thought a ghost would be wearing something white huh? Then, she said, it has a …….

PHEW….it was actually a CLOWN that she saw at the mall! And there I go jumping into conclusion that she has seen something else. Ashley is really afraid of the clowns. She was too scared to tell me it was a clown because I have always told her that if someone were to smile or say Hello to her, she should be polite and smile back. What a scare she gave her silly mommy!

Online stores are sprouting like mushrooms these days. Many friends of mine have set up online stores to sell clothing, bags or shoes. There are also people I don’t know who request that I add them in Facebook because they have online stores. I have since stopped adding them and even removed some of them from my account. One thing that I am quite annoyed is when there are plus-sized clothing available, they tagged me in it. Ok…I know I’m not a Size 2 or 4 but I don’t need to be reminded that I can’t fit into those regular clothes which they feature in their album hence when there is a “bigger” size available, I got tagged. Yes, I am sensitive about my weight! So people who tag me on this will be removed from my friend’s list

My husband can never remember the names of my friends. Not even friends whom I’ve known for over 30 years. Well, maybe because he got confused as most of my friends have names like “Wai” or “Ling“. So whenever I tell him something about my “so and so” friend, he’ll ask me who she is *rolls eyes* However, one thing which he always remember is the type of cars they drive. He has met some of them and seen their cars so whenever he asked me who is the “so and so“, I’ll tell him what cars they drive. Then, he would go, “ahhhhhh…” The reason he can remember the cars is because he loves cars. Men! I think next time when I introduce new friends to him, I would have to tell him the cars that my friends drive too….muahahahhahhahahaa

Last week, Annie posted in Facebook that she was having B-A-G-E-L-S for lunch and I quickly asked her where she bought them In case you don’t know (for those who know..please don’t roll your eyes), I love bagels. I don’t know why. There’s just something about this bread that made me love it so much. Maybe because they remind me of my stay in Toronto. I used to eat bagels often when I was there. My favorite is poppy seed ones. Ok..sorry, side-tracked a bit. So, Annie told me that she got it from TMC and she offered to get me a pack. Bless her heart.
So here are my Sesame Seed Bagels
Took one out from the freezer
Toasted it and also fried an egg. This was my lunch last Thursday. Yummy eh?

Yesterday night, I watched this movie – Hachiko A Dog’s Story which stars Richard Gere. It is a true story based on a faithful Akita dog named Hachiko and its love and devotion towards its master. A very moving and warm-hearted tale and needless to say, I was bawling 
Ashley saw me crying and kept asking me why I cried. So, in between sobs, I have to tell her the story. She hugged me and also laughed at me for crying. Note to myself : Better not watch tearjerkers when she’s around.
Have you watched this movie? I love Richard Gere!

I had fallen off the diet wagon and notice that my pants are tighter now. *HELP* I didn’t snack or eat junk food. Instead of having the usual vege dinner, I had been eating other dishes (without rice) for dinner. During weekends, I would eat noodles for lunch and go out for dinner. This has been happening since January. Well, I guess I really cannot eat like a normal person. I have to either look for the best weight loss supplement or start having vege dinner again.

I went shopping on Saturday while my sister, Jo ‘babysat’ Ashley….hehehehehehehe. Actually the 3 of us were at the mall and my sister took Ashley around to her favorite stores like ToysRus and those that sell hair accessories while I went shopping. Bliss Almost all the stores have the SALE sign on their window and I could not resist not checking them out. I bet if there is one which offers discount auto insurance, I would have checked it out too. The first store which I head to was of course Zara. Alas, I could not find anything I like there. Drats!
However, I did get something from …..
I’m a happy camper

okaaaaaay…this is the last post on our short holiday sorry to bore you all again 
We didn’t do much on the last day. I woke up earlier than Ashley and hubs. So I went to the deck, sat on the deck chair and just listened to the waves while feeding the mosquitoes. I love the sound of the waves….especially when we are sleeping in bed. It is so calming. After sitting there for half an hour, ‘the voice’ woke up and we got ourselves ready. Then we head out to have our breakfast. Next we went to stroll along the beach.
last day
customary photo of my thunder leg….hahahahahahha
Time to say goodbye to the pet farm
We packed our bags and checked out at around 11am. Felt a tinge of sadness to leave but we will definitely be back. Avillion is a great resort for honeymooners and those with families. I love that their staff are very helpful and cheery. They never fail to greet their guests

I was listening to the radio a few days ago and the station was playing lots of 80’s songs. Sure brings back lots of cherished memories of my teenage years 
Back in the 80’s, I was really crazy about these few things -
The colourful straw bag. I was very much in love with straw bags but couldn’t afford one. Even if I could, there was no no way I could find one in Ipoh I used to drool over my cousin’s straw bags and I begged her to give me one but of course she did not.
Cherie Chung. She’s one of my favorite actresses and I wanted so much to copy her hairstyle. Wai Leng, if you are reading this, do you remember how much I wanted to ‘look’ like Cherie? hahahahaahaaha
Espadrilles. A must-have pair of shoes. You weren’t cool if you don’t have one
My favourite movies were …
Footloose
Girls Just Want To Have Fun
The Goonies, Dirty Dancing, Back To The Future, Indiana Jones, Terminator, GhostBusters and many more.
My bedroom wall used to be plastered with posters of them……
Boy George
Thompson Twins
Cyndi Lauper
The 80’s fashion – who can forget the big hair, the baggy clothes, acid wash denims, funky jewelries, off shoulder sweaters and tights eh?
I had fun doing this post Were you a teenager in the 80’s? If yes, what were your favourites back then?
