Pak tor at night

Today after lunch, went out with Gek Teng to Dollar General store to shop. It is just across my apartment, which most things sell for a buck. I wanted to buy a bag of Potato Chips. Gek Teng ended up buying more stuff than me even though I was the one who suggested going. Ha.

Anyway, tonight after dinner, CT and I went to "Marble Slab Creamery" ice cream place. We wanted to give ourselves a treat after realising we lost a few kg. On Sunday when we were at Bel Air Mall, we went to the departmental store and took a weighing machine which was on the shelf to weigh ourselves. Ha..We were glad we lost weight and so, we bought an ice cream tonight.

We ordered one cone double choc ice cream with toppings. It is very nice homemade ice cream...but expensive. It was US$3 plus. Anyway, we brought our ice cream and walked around along the shops. Went into "Books-A-Million" shop. It is a big bookshop with a cafe inside. I wanted to buy a book which Oprah recommended- A Million Little Pieces by James Frey. It sounded good as Oprah describes how she stayed up all night reading it.

The picture of the left is taken in the bookshop with our ice cream. Yup, here in US, it seems that we can bring in drinks and food to shops..unlike Singapore...dun allow this, dun allow that..


This book is a true story about himself-his addiction and his journey to recovery. He also had drug and alcohol addiction and the book talks about his rehab. It is an unforgettable account of how far one man will go to destroy himself and what it takes to turn him around.

I kind of like books like these that are inspirational as I always believe there are things to learn from everyone.

We stayed on in the bookshop for a while as we look through books and I was looking at boardgames. I love the games in US as they are all quite interesting. After that, we walked for a while more before heading home.
