Great day of company

Today, I washed the bedsheets and blankets as ever since I moved in, I have not washed it. Do not know how long it has not been washed since the previous occupant. Anyway, after that, did the usual stuff-email, watch TV.. My mornings are kind of routine already, or rather, my TV programmes. At 9am, there is this makeover of 2 rooms in your house..and the rooms to start out with is really a mess and hardly any space to walk about. I am not sure whether it is an American thing to just throw their clothes and stack them up. Initially, the rooms all look like a messy store room. But after the makeover, it is superb. The designers created so much space and bought new furniture for the room such that it looks so warm and it just makes you want to spend more time in the room now. I love that show.

Few days ago, there was another programme that featured car makeover. It seems that there are a lot of makeover programmes from a person's beauty, to car, to house etc.. So, there was a van that is rusty and lots of dog fur that needed a makeover. In the end, the car is a beauty. They repainted it with shades of colour which looks really nice and inside the van, they added beautiful lights and change all the seats, and even fitted a HUGE flat screen computer in it. There was even a pac man video game table for people to play and all the seats were fitted with TV screens at the headrest. At the back of the van, the space inside was used for the dog. They created a TV on the floor for the dog and two holes to be fitted with dog food and water for the dog to eat and watch TV!! When I watched it, I could never imagined a vehicle to be like that!!

This afternoon, I prepared chicken stew for dinner. Added chicken, carrots, onions, celery and potatoes. I love cooking stew as you simply throw everything in and let it cook slowly. It is a simple all in one dish. However, today, Teck Meng (CT's colleague) will be coming over for dinner as me and CT do make it a point to invite his friends over so that they do not have to eat out so often.. So, since I had company today, I cooked egg with onions and chinese sausages. If I have spring onions, I would add it in as well. Also open up a can fish with black dace. I love this can food cos it is very tasty.

TM came about 7pm and we ate and talked. It was a great time at the dinner table. After chatting, we had watermelon to end it off. Then TM suggested visiting Kok Fong, who stays near my place. So we all went to his place to take a look. His wife coming tomorrow by the way to join him. So, we went to see how he was coping... His place is similar to mine but more areas are carpeted..even the dining area. His sofa is bigger as well. Quite nice. He treated us to ice cream. After a while, we decided to go out together just to roam around.

Kok Fong drove and we went to Dollar Tree, about 12 mins drive. All the things are one buck. I love it. I bought 2 rolls of aluminum foil for 1 buck and 2 big bowls for one buck. After that, we went Walmart which is just across. TM bought a foldable arm chair with leg rest for only 13 bucks. I told him he can bring that to the beach and just relax on it. I bought a nice summer t-shirt. It has orange,pink,yellow stripes on it. I love the colours cos they are cheerful colours and it is vibrant. It costs only 5 bucks..and good quality.

After we reached home about 10pm.. I felt so happy just going out. Cannot wait for tomorrow as Kok Fong's wife will be coming at night and we will have dinner out.
