Esther arrives!

Posted by Dawn at Saturday, October 29, 2005
This morning, woke up at 8am plus, had maggi noodles for breakfast and then, we prepared the house for Esther to come. Went library at 10am plus to read books and return all our library books. We stayed in the library till it was time to go airport to welcome Esther. Her flight was supposed to touch down at 1220pm, so we left the library at 1200 noon to reach there at 1220pm, since most of the time, flight is delayed or at least, it takes a while for the passengers to come out.

So, we reached there on the dot but realised, we were late. Esther was out already...so pai seh. The weather was very nice today...about 24 degrees, sunny. We first went back to our apartments for Esther to unpack and settle down. Then, we had lunch at Vietnamese Restaurant. I had chicken rice which is very tasty, Esther had beef ball noodles while CT had some lunch special-sweet and spicy noodle soup. After lunch, we went to the Flea Market which opens only on weekends. There are 700 over booths and we met CT's colleagues there.

They sell puppies there as well..very cute! It is like a pasar malam place..





















Look at the small chihwahua...I had to ask Esther to hold that since she owns one in Singapore..hehe..


Went Walmart after that for grocery shopping for the week. Esther sounded so excited because she missed being in US. She used to work in Walmart as well, so she felt she was back home...

After that, we went back and I played tennis with CT. Esther did not go with us as she wanted to spend more time unpacking.. We only played one game and CT won 6-4. I played with my new tennis racquet which Esther bought for me. I love it..the colour is nice as well! It is a Prince Racquet.

We played for only about an hour plus and ended at 630pm. Then, we got ready to go for dinner at the Mobile Greyhound Park. I have not been there myself, but wanted to go and see the dog race as well as to eat because of the advert on TV, promoting the food.



















I totally regretted cos everyone was smoking while eating. Of course, we did not bet and I think we were the only ones not betting. Haha.Before each race, we only guessed who would win. I did not like the place also because the service was lousy...super slow. We waited probably about an hour for the food..sigh..







We had chicken tenders in basket, salad, hamburger with fries, and alfredo shrimp pasta. The food was not fantastic...guess the purpose is for people to bet, while eating is secondary.

Reached home at 9 plus pm.
