Church was good today as pastor preached about Sex Sense - Celebrating manliness and feminity. I found it amusing that midway through his message he showed this picture of a male with just 1 button and the female with so many buttons. Just shows that the womenfolks are hard to please, grin!!!

After church, we went home to fetch Sam for her youth service at 11am and then off we went to look for my new tennis shoes at Sports Authority. My old shoe's soles are wearing off but unfortunately, Sports Authority doesn't have the model I wanted, which is the Nike Max Breathe Free II which was sold at Golfsmith for $110 but sorrylah, no size 5.5. Sports Authority doesn't have anything near that model I wanted at all, what a drag :-((

Then, went to Western Appliance to look for a dishwasher but no salesperson came to our aid so, we just browsed around and open and peek around and then walked out. What poor salesmanship. Not buying from there for sure even if we need one. What happened was, our current dishwasher was leaking and we called the insurance guy to come and take a look and he said he couldn't repair it due to liability issue as the previous owner screwed a wrong kind of screw into the dishwasher and punctured holes in there, thus, the leak. Then, he filed a report and then I had to fork out $55 as trade call fee even tho he didn't do anything. But b4 he left, he told me that I could repair it myself by buying a waterproof glue and plug up the holes and buy the correct size screw and voila, everything should be back to normal. And so, to the hardware store we went and came home and fixed it but guess what? I tried it 3 days ago and it still leaks. So, we're now going to unscrew it again and let the machine run and see if it leaks and guess what? It didn't? Looks like the dishwasher is playing games with us. Will try it one more time tomorrow nite with a full load of dishes. If not, gotta fork out more money to buy a new one. What a drag (again?)....

Fetch Sam from church at 12.30pm and we went to Sato Sushi for lunch and then send Ed home b4 Sam and me head off for shopping at Westfield Valley Fair. Sam was suffering from "cabin fever" coz the whole winter break from 2/14-2/22, she was stucked at home coz she was down with the flu to start with and all she could do everyday was entertain herself with Aleks, which is her math homework online. So, today, 2/22, being the last day of winter break, she says she wants to go out and not stay home anymore.

Our 1st shop was Illuminations where we bought 3 scented candles coz we know Ed loves the smell when it is lighted up. The shop is closing down and everything was 40% off. Then to GAP we went where Sam bought a nice plain grey colored dress and a turqoise colored top. Then I went on to MAC cosmetics to replenish those items that's running out. All in all, a pretty fruitful shopping trip coz everyone had something, yipee!

But the highlight of the trip was I could return a shoe I bought at Nordstrom on Nov 7, 2008 and just wore it once to church and the shoe almost killed my feet coz it was so tight. When I tried it on at the shop then and walked around a bit, doesn't feel tight at all but I wore it to church and walked with it and it almost killed me. That's what I called customer service. I am definitely a fan of Nordstrom.

At night, we had Indian food for dinner but the mutton briyani doesn't match that of Kapitan's in Penang. But beggars can't be choosers so, chinchailah, anything also can, for the time being, hahaha!

Goodnite...
