Initially, we were freezing while playing tennis. But after a while, the sun came up and it was slightly warmer. I won CT for the first game : 6-4 while CT won second and third game. Sobsob.. Again, he proudly said, "Here comes the champion.." Hehe..cant stand him..Enjoyed the game as my strokes seemed like they are getting better. Think I have improved on my backhand.
After the game, we quickly bathed and met Jaimie, her mum and Hsiang Yang (another colleague) for breakfast at Dennys. They have a breakfast offer- US$4.99 for a big breakfast! There are 2 beef patties, 2 sausages, hash browns, 2 sunny side up eggs and 3 huge pancakes. Jaimie paid for the breakfast as I guess, her mum wants to repay the time I spent with her, taking her out. I did not touch my 3 pancakes and some sausages. Jaimie's mum did not finish as well..We put all the left overs in the box. I had lots of left overs as Jaimie's mum gave me hers. So, lots of food for lunch.
After breakfast, Chee How (Another colleague) went to Jaimie's house to fetch Jaimie to Pensacola airport as it is about an hour drive there. Her mum had some time..so we went Asian Mart together. I wanted to show her what there are in the shop...and at the same time, I needed to buy veggies and chinese rice wine to cook for Gek Teng..and lots of ginger!
After shopping, I took a picture with Jaimie's mum before she went to airport.
After talking to her for these past 2 days, I found out that her family is made up of the same number as mine and almost the same age for everyone of us. Jaimie is same age as me-25 years old...Jaimie's bro is 2 years older than her- same age gap as me and my bro...and Jaimie's mum is same age as my mum..(I shall keep this age confidential..haha). But my dad is older than Jaimie's dad...only one difference.
Last night during the farewell dinner, Jaimie kept saying thank you to me for taking her mum out. I told her that it is not a problem and moreover, I treat her mum as my friend..so,its a privilege to bring her out and have lunch with her. Her mum used to be a policewoman for 15 over years and during my lunch with her, I asked her more about it as I told her my childhood ambition was to become a cop. Haha..
At Asian Mart, I bought more veggies for Kok Fong and passed to them when we reached home. After that, we went Walmart to shop..This morning, bought a lot of groceries as I planned to cook for Kok Fong and wife next week when Kok Fong goes back to work.
Heated up our breakfast leftovers for lunch. Still had some more leftovers for dinner. Too much...
After lunch, went to Library where I borrowed more audio CDs, DVDs for Gek Teng. She also likes to read fashion magazines..so I borrowed about 5 mags. I am sure she needs it as she would be bored since she is confined at home. Her family from Singapore says she cannot catch a cold by going out and cannot bathe.
The worse thing is that in 2 weeks time, she would be going back to Singapore for good and so, she cannot enjoy her stay here before she goes back.
