Early in the morning, chatted with HsiangLing, who is in Chicago and Gek Teng through Skype program, in the internet. Quite fun cos all our husbands are working..and we are just at home doing our things..
Today is Gek Teng's birthday (13 May 75) She is same age as CT. I made her a whole pan of brownie and actually invited her out to go pick Steve with us and have lunch together. But, Kok Fong, her husband took the apartment keys and so she had to stay at home. Poor thing.
Take a look at the brownie I made for her, using my new SMARTWARE container. Can you tell what words are shown on the brownie?? CT said he could not tell..hummfgh!
My first homemade walnut brownie!
After picking Steve up, we went to "South China Restaurant" for lunch buffet. We wanted to try it-our first time and Steve wanted Chinese food. After a filling lunch, we settled him into his apartment as he was very tired. Then, we brought te brownie over to Gek Teng and wished her happy birthday. She was touched. She cut up the brownie and distributed some to us.
At about 5pm, me and CT went to play tennis for an hour. Weather was very hot today. Probably about 31 degrees.
After washing up, we went to pick Steve up and took him to Winn Dixie as I wanted to go to the "Midnight Madness Sale" in the store. They actually have special price because today is Fri the 13th. There were so many people and there was not even enough trolleys. Most of the specials were wiped out. After that, went Walmart to shop as well. Then, we drove to Vietnamese Restaurant for dinner.
The Vietnamese food here is almost the same standard as Singapore's. It is quite nice. I took my usual dish-the mixed beef soup noodles. CT ordered fried seafood hor fun which was very oily. Not nice. It is about US$7 per person. Not too bad. What I like is the drink-plum soda. It is like the sour plum drink. Very nice.
After dinner, went home to watch our VCD. Did not watch for a while as Kok Fong and wife took the VCDs to watch first. So, we watched tonight as they have watched a lot already. After the show, it was 11 plus pm. I called back Singapore to Marianne's house as my family are all in her place celebrating her baby's (my god-daughter) first birthday! I talked to my brother to wish him happy birthday(14th May) as in Singapore, it was 14th May already. Marianne bought for Phoebe, my god-daughter a 3D elmo cake. Phoebe loves elmo..so when she saw her cake, she even wanted to hug the cake!! :)
When I called at Marianne's place, it sounded so crowded and noisy..sounds like fun. I do wish I was there...sigh..
Managed to sleep only at about midnight..
