Random Photos in Car

Took some quick snaps while i was waiting at the light.

Dont worry, i am a safe driver....i have to be careful with my ride, the Great White.

A 4.6L V8 animal issnt easy to tame. I always had to keep a lookout whenever i park becos of the loooooooong car length...

John, the Manager told me that Marketing wants the Great White back for some reason. He also told me there is arrangement to get an Avis vehicle for me. However today he came back and told me there will be a Ford Taurus for me. Wahhhh.....



What a disappointment~



the reason why i wanted an Avis car is that i can accumulate some points on Krisflyers, next year maybe can go somewhere with Bao. And its less hassle than the Great White. The Great White has had a flat tire...a service dued and a door release handle jammed. And i had to bring him to the garage or dealer.







anyway, what a boohoo....i hope the Taurus rides good.



Gonna miss the Great White.






Do i tell John i want an Avis car?




Heres some photos.

Visit to Ikea  

Posted by ArKa

Ikea - Houston style..any different from Singapore?
i think it looks pretty much the same.
the parking lots is big...like the one back home in Tampines.

I went with Debra and Jeff. End up, i was the only one buying stuff....hmmmm
Wanted to get a toilet scrub and some Rubbermaid kinda boxes for food too...but gave up before the queue at the cashier. Guess i could live without for the time being~

My hunt for the day, a "goose-feathers" pillow. This pillow is undergoing "trial" now

my pillows provided are all flat and kinda giving me headache...

Tropical Storm Edouard  

Posted by ArKa

Tropical Storm Edouard is here today.
I had to stock up groceries and stuff last night and went to Walmart to get them.
I was shocked when the usual packed shelves with water was empty!!
Anyhow, i finally managed to get some at the gas station nearby and i tink its expensive ..maybe due to the storm.

Tropical Storm Edouard brought lotsa rain today similar to Hurricane Dolly couple weeks ago. Good thing is Hurricane Dolly went west last minute and missed Houston. Edouard came into Houston but it was just a tropical storm. Not much of lightning but lotsa rain. Fortunately there was no power outrage in my apartment complex.

My Cellphones  

Posted by ArKa



Check out my cellphones.
Just bought a Nokia 1600 (extreme right) last night, i wanna make sure i have a cellphone with ample credits on it. The AT&T prepaid plan cost me 25cents per call. This new plan i have cost me 10cents for call and 5cents for local sms. The down side is that i cant send overseas sms to Baobao and people in Singapore.

5th August Dinner  

Posted by ArKa

I bought the Pi Pa Gao cos Mum asked me to that day. Kinda missed her nagging when I am not by her side. Hope her knees are not giving her much trouble recently.
