Went to my cousin's baby's first month party yesterday & saw all the family. As some of them had not seen sarah & ryan for a while, they were amazed at how much they had grown. I realised yesterday that though I was not the oldest cousin (3 others above me), our kids were the eldest. Next was 12, 9, 7, 6 & then come the babies. My cousins all married even later than me & had babies later. And we used to think that we should have had the kids earlier.
After we dropped my mum off, we went to vivo. Good grief! It was crowded, parking was a bitch & if it were not for some of the stores which I like, I would never bother to go. The place is huge...I got lost for a bit as I couldn't get my bearings. Had left hubby & kids at the bookstore when I wanted to pop into a store. Not many shoppers...alot more browsers.
The signages when we wanted to have dinner were of little help as they don't describe whether it is a makan place or a retail store. Then those which sounded like food places don't tell you what kind of food. It was really annoying having to walk around & around to find something which we wanted to eat. We eventually settled for carl's junior which does have great burgers. Big portions to share. We went to earle swensen's once before & it was just a glorified version of swensen's. The quality of food did not warrant the prices honestly.
Sarah picked up a couple of items from zara & I didn't cos there were no small sizes for the jackets I liked. Picked up a couple of nice tops from S & M as well as knickers for both sarah & myself. Plus their yummy sinful cookies.
Our pet peeve now is the newspaper delivery man. The two dogs go nuts every morning he delivers the newspapers & hubby found out why. The asshole would start slapping the pile of newspapers on his thigh making noise as he comes by our way at 6plus in the morning. You dun need to slap the newspapers on your thigh. Its obviously deliberate to irk the dogs & get them barking & to amuse himself. One morning after hubby found out, he stood at the window & watched. Guy didn't do the slapping routine when he saw hubby.
Its really annoying to have the dogs bark in the early hours. They never used to with the previous delivery person. It has been months with this one. I will either complain to the company's boss or just switch delivery companies. But before that, hubby intends to take bandit out on a leash & stand outside to wait for the guy. Won't sic bandit on him lah but will probably tell the fucker off.
Yes yes by all means do the job. Its an honest job. But don't be a bastard & irritate the dogs. If he continues after hubby tells him off, we may switch delivery companies or he may have to change profession.
Lament for the day : why do people have to amuse themselves in such an inconsiderate manner.
