Woke up at 5am. Jetlagged I was. Figured that since I can't sleep, might as well come downstairs to my office and do some paperwork. You should have seen my desk when I came home. I couldn't see any desk surface except paper here, there, everywhere!

Cleared and paid all my outstanding bills. Collated all the credit card charges and throw away all the unnecessary mailers. Didn't finish till almost 8am.

Ed was nice to prepare beef rendang and roti canai for me for breakfast. We left for Reno at 9am. Along the way, stopped at Virginia City, a small cowboy town. Sam threw up along the way coz she was texting on her mobile phone when Ed was cruising down the winding road. Lesson learnt eh Sam? We arrived in Reno around 3pm. Checked into Silver Legacy, took a short nap and then at 5pm, prepare ourselves for the dinner banquet.
The picture above is that of Virginia City in the background. It's a small cowboy town!

The dinner was buffet style. Food was so-so. I was jetlagged still. Felt sleepy all the time, tired, felt like dozing off during the speeches and didn't feel like talking at all. Sam's Rookie of the year award was the 1st of the many awards given out that night. For her effort, she got $100 as scholarship award. Dinner didn't finish till about 10.30pm and we didn't stay till the end. Too exhausted to force these eyes of mine to stay open....yawn!


Sam with her Rookie of the Year award posing with the other guy rookie and Sam showing off her scholarship certificate of $100. Yay! she's now richer by $100...

Sam posing with proud mommy. Nice picture!


This is Reno's largest National Bowling stadium that has 78 lanes. Thus far, the largest bowling alley I've seen. We loved it here, for bowling!
