Trip to Hillsboro

Trip of the day:
Prime Outlets -- Located in the historic town of Hillsboro with over 200 antique shops and over 85 great brand name stores.

Had lunch before shopping at Wendy's. Burger was fair. Couldn't really enjoy taking big bites. My wisdom tooth was 'growing' and my gums were swollen. It's painful just to open my mouth...what more openning it bigger to fit the burger in. Had to squash and flattened it before taking my bite of the burger. *pssstt...Ale I know you like flattening bread!! Thought of u when dad told me to flattened it hehe* The lemonade kinda tasted like redoxon's soluble vitamin C. Tomato sauce was yummmmyyyyy!!!

At prime outlets...
Area was hugeeeee. Had to walk in and out to go from one shop to another. So it was COLLLDDD...then warm...then COLLLLDDDD...then warm. There was a point it was soo cold I thought my brain froze. My palm and fingers were actually warmer than my forehead. Ears were almost frozen as well. Took us bout 4-5 hours to cover the whole area. Branded stuffs sold here were much cheaper even after conversion. Really a great deal!! We stepped in practically every shop and greeted by their ever famous line "How y'all doing today?" each time we step into a shop. Went into this particular shop when a lady came to us and asked if she could help us in anyway? That's what they'd usually ask as well and so as usual mum would answer..."we're alright...just looking around". But this time the lady looked at us weirdly...wondering what we lost sheeps were doing in her shop. Then she continued..."well do y'all know that this here are big sized wear?" No wonder she gave us a weird look when we stepped in. Anywayz..she kindly showed us to the 'pettite' section. Took pictures here and there...but it was just too cold...didn't have gloves so hand was almost frozen...so pictures taken were blurry and shaky haha...

Finally came out of the last shop and it was already dark. Yea it gets dark by 5/6pm here. Long tiring day....was walking...walking...walking...whole day!!!! Foot was surprisingly not sore!!

Before reaching home...took pictures of wonderfully lighted houses. It's really beautiful. They light up their trees with lights...the frames of their houses...and they'd buy lighted frames of reindeers, snowman, angels and of course santa. Pictures were taken by me...the photography-illiterate one. So pics taken may not justify what it actually looks. Hahaha...if only Jireh was around. He'd be a great photographer!!! Too bad his visa wasn't approved. Won't be seeing him this year...next year?? hopefully!!!!!

Today:
Went to Wal*Mart. Bought some lip balm and oooOOOOoooo mashmallows (yuummmmyyyy). Sorry ale...forgot to charge up the batteries for the camera...didn't take pics of WalMart yet. Will do them as soon as possible!!!! Spend the entire afternoon there...gosh time really flies!!!

Mum cooked bak kut teh today....mmmMMmmmm yummmy!!! Had corn dogs for dinner (from Wal*Mart).

Feeling sleepy now...hhmmm it's not even 12 and I'm sleepy. I kinda sleep earlier here...maybe cos it gets darker earlier? Haha...crapp!!

Sigh I'm craving for assam laksaaaaaa!!!! and ROJAK!!!!

mmMMmm...getting hungry or maybe just sleepyyyy....nitezzzZZZzzz!!!
