Went to Gulf Shores

Posted by Dawn at Friday, May 27, 2005
Today, had bread and milo for breakfast. Something funny happened today. Mum was in the toilet when the ceiling started dripping water on her head. Then she realised it was dirty water. So, I had to call the apartment office to repair the ceiling. So, they came over and checked it out.
But before they arrived, when my parents went to toilet, they carried their golf umbrella in to shield.

We planned to go out in the morning to go Gulf Shores...so we left the repairman to do our ceiling. Drove to "Burris Farm Market" first and bought veggies, onions, and lots of fruits. After that, spent some time shopping at "Tanger Outlets" which is a factory outlet branded stores like Tommy, Timberland, Reebok,Nike, Liz Claiborne etc... There are many shops in it. Can actually spend one whole day walking. There is a food court in the area. So, we stopped at about noon time to eat. I had a hotdog while my parents ate stew with bread. Gek Teng came along with us. She had pizza with salad. We spent most of our time at Liz Claiborne shopping for clothes. The shop is so much bigger than in Singapore's. So, we were excited when we saw so many selection of clothings. However, one problem is that the clothes are all quite huge..so it made me looked fat in it. So, I only bought one shirt. But dad chose it for me. He was a great help as he was trying to choose clothes for me.

After a few hours of shopping, we were so tired that we decided to carry on shopping the rest of the area another day. So, we hopped on to our rented car and drove to the beach at Gulf shores. There were a lot of people on the beach as it is the school holidays already. Weather is very hot and sunny.

It was a long drive home back to our apartment..about 1 plus hour. Mum fell asleep in the car while dad was trying to keep awake. After going back to the apartment, the repairman was still around and in fact, there were more people in our apartment trying to fix the problem. The guy said it is a big problem. They told us that they will need to come back tomorrow to fix it. Mum also found out that the water that dripped on her head was faeces water. Ha..

When we reached apartment, mum started preparing dinner in the kitchen. She is in charge of soup today while dad is doing the rest of the dishes. Yay..off day for me! Mum cooked lettuce, tomato, pork, chicken, mushroom, fishball soup. Dad cooked oyster sauce ginger chicken and bittergourd with beef. It was so tasty. I really enjoyed our dinner.

After dinner, as usual, CT will be busy in the kitchen rinsing the dishes and putting them in the dish washer. He is now an expert in using the dish washer.

When the sun was setting, CT, dad and I went to play tennis. I went there to take pictures. Met Teck Meng and Anthony as they were playing as well. Dad played well. Both CT and dad were trying to make each other run for the ball. Ha..Outwit-Outsmart-Outrun...

They stopped playing when it was too dark.

I drove the rented car back by trying out the manual gear. There seem to be auto and manual. Wanted to test out the car. Real fun.

While we went back to apartment, we watched TV together...

Legs aching from the walk..I guess I cannot shop for hours..
