Carelessness And Absent Minded On CHIJ Day 2015

COULD IT BE DUE TO THE EXCITMENT?

CHIJ year '77 was planned months before and we were looking forward to the Big Day! Two of my classmates came from outstation to slumber in my house and obviously, being ladies, we wanted to look our Best, right? That was my weakness... in order to look good, my mind was being "strayed."

Hours before the Big Night, my friend and I went to the hair saloon named Carbello.  Being me, I took my iPad along to while away the time while enjoying the soft massage on the hair on shoulders.  Everything went on fine, our hair was beautifully done, we paid the bill and went home happily.

Fast forward.... when party was over, the first thing I reached home was to log in to my iPad to check my Facebook... and to my horror, I couldn't find it anywhere in the house nor in my car.  Oh my goodness!!  Where has it gone to?  Don't tell me I left it in the hair saloon?  *Prayers prayed*

I couldn't sleep well throughout the night, I even dreamt that I found my iPad on my sofa... too bad it was just a dream.  The first thing I woke up was to go to the saloon straight but it opened only at 10am.  After my breakie, I quickly drove to the saloon... before entering, another *silent prayer*...

The first word upon entering, one lady looked up at me and said.. "Looking for iPad?"  With a smile on her face and another few workers, she handed me back my "treasure!"  Phewwwww... What a Big Relief... !  *Give Thanks!*

Yes, many Thanks to my God for answering my prayers and to the staff of Carbello for safe-keeping my sentimental iPad for one night!  I certainly will visit you all from now on!

Tonight I should be able to sleep.... hahahaaa.... and since this is a long post, I won't be able to post up the CHIJ photos... instead ... here is something I really "treasure" too....

    Haih, I haven't seen most of my classmates since... I don't know. I think we had a reunion a couple years after we left school, and that's about it. I think if I am to bump into some classmates accidentally now, I would not recognize most of them! >.<

Three Hours City Tour At Ensenada, Mexico

A THREE HOURS CITY TOUR when we embarked in Mexico on the second morning.   My sister booked the three hours city tour in Ensenada, Mexico, a van came to pick us up from the port.  Ensenada is the border of Mexico and it reminds me of Hatyai, a border town too between Malaysia and Thailand.  We were taken to a shopping area where we must haggle for the goods.  LOL.. Yes, something common in my own country... Anyway, we did not buy anything for ourselves... just a wooden handmade truck for my grandson which cost $8usd.   Nothing much to shout about on this three hours excursion, I was so sleepy on the way back to the ship that I dozed off and only awaken when we were driven through the town.  All in all, I just wanted to step onto Mexican soil and I would give this a miss if I were to go on this Mexico cruise again.  LOL... At the open area shopping walking towards the Blowhole... This is La Bufadora Blowhole, an amazing natural marine geyser that is capable of shooting water over 60 fe

Exploring The Sea Cruise Royal Caribbean

CRUISING ALONG.... Once we deposited our bags in our cabins, we had our buffet meal at the Hammerjack restaurant and exactly at 4pm, we heard a loud Horn signal...  ITS TIME TO SAIL ALONG THE PACIFIC OCEAN! And while the ship started to sail, we humans started to walk and explore.... to familarize ourselves inside the ship....  Elevators on each side of the ship....  Making my mark....  On another side....  We walked along to check out our food outlets... This Promenade Cafe  had became our regular joint .... We like to sit there enjoying our hot drinks and desserts... Free flow of food day and night.... Passing through the bars to the casino... The casino will open only when the ship is in international waters...  At one of the jackpot machines... I wonder if they are real?? But they are only $1 bundles... Then we went up to the highest floor.... The swimming deck.... Taken against the sun.... Nice sunset in the evening.... The Happy Trio!

First Day In The Royal Caribbean Cruise To Mexico

ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT.... gently down the sea....  Royal Caribbean, it is my second time following this giant vessel, the first time was from Singapore to Phuket, that was a very nice cruise.  So when my son mentioned that he found a good deal online, this time to Mexico, I agreed without hesitation.  Let's Go! A three nights stay with food and lodging only cost around $250 per person with at least one senior in per room.  Meals were either buffet style or fine dining, we can choose and cafes were opened 24 hours for us to rest and relax.  How not to resist... LOL...  And so here we are... just one week after landing in US, I was on the sea....  Looks small from afar...  It was a giant vessel with at least 14 floors.... On the way to embarking after Custom Clearance...  Our room for the next three nights....  Small and cosy.... And adjoining to my son's family room through a door...  The one with balcony cost a bit more...  A short briefing about safety after we checked in....
