After that, we went downtown but got lost somehow and ended up in some residential place. We happened to land up in some old haunted house where they have tours. It is actually a mansion where the former US president visited before. However, it is close on Mondays...so we got down the car and took pictures. I love the trees cos it looks spooky! Just right for Halloween, which happens to me TODAY!
After finding my way out, we went to shops nearby- Wheremusic shop to see CDs and DVDs, Barnes & Noble bookstore, Best Buy to look at electronics and then had lunch at Morrison. It is like a cafeteria style restaurant where you pick what you want by pulling the tray....Ikea Style of eating. I like it cos no need to wait for your order. Very fast. I ordered a angus beef steak which the texture is like meatloaf. Quite nice.
After lunch, we went Walmart shopping where I bought some clothes for dad. He needs some clothes that is easy to wear..so got some. Hope it can fit and it is appropriate. In Walmart, there is everything you need at a good price. So, it is the best place to get stuff.
We went Petsmart shop after that which is a shopping mart for pets. Esther bought some stuff for her doggie and as we were at the checkout counter, there was a chihwahua. It seems like a popular pet here. It was so cute cos it was dressed to the occasion. It was wearing a Halloween sweater and hat...and the cutest thing is that its nails were painted orange and black! Haha...
Forgot to mention that at Walmart, I went to look at the games section as I love party boardgames like Twister, Monopoly etc... So, I was looking at this game called Imaginiff..I was attracted to it cos it won some awards..I told Esther that I wish I could buy it but CT may not like me to buy cos he may think I would not make use of it much.
Esther kept asking me questions like, " Would you use it? How many times would you use etc..." So, I put it back and then Esther started picking it and she read the reviews and started getting interested..So funny..In the end, she bought it for herself! haha..
We went home at about 3pm and played tennis for an hour till about 5 plus pm. It was fun! Esther is a very good tennis player as she plays very often and taking part in competitions even in Malaysia. So, I asked her to help me correct my strokes and give me some tips... It was fun playing with her cos I had to be super alert esp when she returns the ball so fast and at corners! It was my first time having aching arms as I played cos her returns are really powerful..hehe
CT came home late tonight. I cooked dinner. Had curry chicken with potatoes and chye sim with pork slices and carrots. After dinner, we played the game which Esther bought. It is a very interesting game where they have questions like " If _____ were a colour, what colour would he/she be?" There are questions like this...and the black is to be filled up with a name which your pin lands on. The person who chooses the answer which majority chooses, they win.
As you can see from the board, there are names which the person is not with us like my bro-KY, my sis in law-Pam.. It is because we need to fill up the board with names who we all know. So, we added mutual friend's names as well. So, if the grey pin lands on that name, that person would be the subject of the question..
At the end of the game, we realised that we know one particular person very well as we always have the same answer for him! haha...
Oh, from the picture above, you see Esther holding a pig? I bought it for her in Walmart as she seemed to like it. SO, I told her that I would get it for her Christmas present.
This was how we celebrated our Halloween..hehe..and so happened, I wore orange and black tonight..what a coincidence.
