Went to library

This morning, supposed to play tennis with CT but I looked out of the window and saw how sunny it was even when it was only 7 plus am. So, I told CT that I did not want to get burnt again..so, I told him we shall play in the late evening. So, we woke up and I cooked myojo chicken noodles. Gek Teng gave me all her instant noodles as she says she seldom eats them because Kok Fong (her husband) hates it.

So, she passed them to me..but only 5 packets..so I guess, I will finish that quite fast. But good enough as my supply will be coming in, in a month's time as my close friend, Esther would be visiting me from Singapore and bringing me some supplies.So, enough to last...

As usual, we love our noodles with egg. Gek Teng told me that she grew up eating Myojo chicken noodles. I kind of forgot there was such a brand as nowadays, people like me go for the non-MSG ones that taste just like the normal ones. It was until CT sang the jingle for the Myojo advertisement, that reminded me of my childhood days when we did grew up eating Myojo.

Anyway, after breakfast, we went to the post office as I received a notice to collect something from the post office. It was a fairly long queue and only one person serving at the counter, so I was looking around the post office and decided to take pictures since I was bored. Here are the interesting stuff in the post office...

Yup, they have cute boxes at the post office. This is a diff post office from the usual one I go to..so whatever I see here is new to me as well. I was looking around and saw this which caught my eye- it was a whole stack of criminal files- FBI wanted list of criminals pinned on the wall of the post office.How scary...I was just thinking that maybe the criminal may be in the queue!! haha..watched too many hollywood movies.

Anyway, after visiting the post office, I went grocery shopping at Walmart and then, went to Flea Market to buy watermelon for my blender to make juice. After that, went to Asian mart to buy chinese vegs and then, went home to unload stuff and cook lunch. Initially, we wanted to eat out but after spending so much this morning buying groceries, I told CT that I can always cook to save money.

So, I cooked something simple- Spaghetti with alfredo cream sauce, added prawns and mushrooms.I cooked this dish before but did not add prawns. I thought of adding it as the restaurants dishes have prawns in it. I always cook according to how I remember eating the dish outside. However, I cooked too much as I wanted to finish up my spaghetti. So, I kept some for dinner tonight.

Took a picture to record what I cooked. Here it is

After lunch, we went to the library to return some books we borrowed 2 weeks ago and to borrow more! hehe.

We spent about 2 hours there reading and seeing what to borrow. I was reading magazines on health, photography, travelling..yup..stuff that I like.

Initially, we wanted to leave already but it started pouring so heavily that we went back in to read and wait for the rain to lessen. I discovered a section where there were music CDs and realised, I can borrow music CDs without paying any fee. So, I started choosing the CDs I like to listen and borrowed. I was also reading MAD magazines in the library. I used to collect that as the jokes and drawings are funny..

I borrowed classical, Christian and pop CDs for the car when we travel. Awesome. Love the library.

When we went back home, the rain stopped and the sun was shining. We waited for the sun to dry up the tennis courts before playing. We played from 6pm to 8pm- 2 hours straight without stopping.. We played 3 games of 6 sets each game. It was all a close fight. I won the first set 6-4, CT won the next 2 sets 6-5 and 6-4.

CT found the switch to the tennis courts..so we could play even when the sunsets as he switched on the floodlights. Surprisingly, I was not tired at all. The last few times when I played in the morning under the scorching sun, I could hardly breathe. But, after 2 hours of game tonight, I was not even tired nor panting...haha.. CT was perpiring so much and I told him I not tired at all and then he said, no wonder I lost. Hummfgh!

Then when we went home, he kept announcing his arrival when he enters a room, "Here comes the champion!"..So irritating! heehee..

We had TV dinner and heated up the spaghetti for dinner. The TV dinner is a microwave boxed dinner. I bought meatloaf with mashed potatoes. Yum! Very nice. We watched our Jap VCDs while eating. Started watching this Jap VCDs on family..There is no action but a family drama show with good family values.. It is spoken in Jap..so we had to read the chinese subtitles to understand the show. No dual sound. :(

Oh, made use of my blender by making avocado milk shake!! I loved it! So nice...I added avacado, milk and one spoon of Splenda sugar to make it sweeter a little! Very very yummy...

Enjoyed today a lot because of all the activities I did!
