My Early Birthday Gift

BROKEN PIECES....  I have intention to get a new iPad while I am here in US but never expected to get one so soon!

While in Sacramento, my old iPad gave up on me.  It slipped out of my hands suddenly and fell on the hard concrete floor.  Yeah, my bad, not my iPad, I did not manage to hold it properly and one second, it crashed downwards.  Landed on the wrong side too, the impact on the screen was too hard, when I picked it up, it was crushed... pieces of glasses went through the hardware.... oh no, so sorry for that, my iPad!
The impact of the flooring must be really hard... 
Fell from less than three feet.... 
Guess it is time to let go... 
It has been with me for more than 6 years or 7..... 
Bye bye.....
A week later, we went to the Apple mall to collect my new companion.... 

My new companion.... 
The latest version of Mini iPad...
So that I can hold it properly!
Now the next thing is the Overcoat...
Really must protect it for at least one decade...
LOL....
Thank you TC for my early birthday present!!

    Lucky you!!! Old folks say if things do not get spoilt, we will not have the chance of having new ones. Now you can blog more regularly, I guess? Do handle it with care, ya!

    Happy birthday in advance, bet you're going to have a grand celebration there!

    Poor thing. But it is time to change. Not good to use with broken screen.

    Happy birthday in advance, dear. Have a blast over there.

    A wonderful gift! You were lucky to have your old one for this long. Our Granddaughter's stopped downloading things after it was about three years old. I guess they do get obsolete.

    Wah, nice to get new gadget. Sad about the previous one. Please be extra careful. Things broken are ok, can buy new ones but elderlies when fall, cannot buy new ones so please be extra careful. ❤️

    It was fated for you to get a new iPad, so the old one did a kamikaze. LOL!

    Your old iPad wants to retire knowing that it is time to go. The old has to go before the new can come. Lol! Happy birthday to you in advance.

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

The Good, The Bad But Not Ugly

MISSING AND NOW BACK IN ACTION...  I checked back my last post and it was 8 March last month and today is 19 April, less than two months only.  So what has been happening in my life?  Lots and lots... good news, bad news, sad news... all concerning health and I guess this is our life cycle as we live day by day.   My health is also not that "fantastic" during the past few months, but mine is a small rock compared to giant boulder which my best buddy is undergoing... I guess some of you know what is happening to her from her blog posts.  I was totally devastated when this happened to her, my tears couldn't help falling and my heart goes out to her.  I am ashamed to say that instead of me giving the comfort that she needs, I am the one that have been receiving her strength in times like this.  She might be crushed physically but she is not broken in her spiritual mind and soul.  One word... "Unbreakable!"  She is a shining example..... "What can death do to m

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!
