Met up with my sister's friend who is residing in LV and we had a good lunch at a Thai restaurant. After the meal, we went back to the resort to rest. But my friend, who is ever active, decided to go to the strip again in the evening.... but no, not me and my sister, we need our beauty rest... LOL... so my friend took the shuttle bus to town alone and we kept on tagging and reminding her to come back before 10.30pm cos that was the last trip, if she misses the bus, she has to pay a hefty fee to reach the resort. LOL... No worries, she came back on time... anyway, even if she misses, we would have send out our "driver" to pick her up. LOL...

Along The Las Vegas Strip And Thai Food
WALKING AND WALKING DOWN THE STRIP...
From Tahiti resort, we took a shuttle bus to the Strip where we spent a few hours walking in and out of some hotels. Las Vegas has lots of hotels and the the ones along the strip are the ones which attract a lot of tourists like us. My friend was in awe, taking pictures from left to right, as we walked along and she was one springy "chicken" but not me and my sister anymore. We were dead tired after a couple of hours...LOL...

Lucille's At Red Rock
AFTER A DAY OF REST, we were supposed to go to Red Rocks for some hiking. Unfortunately we did not manage to go into the National Park, we had to turn back cos we did not register online for permit. Due to the covid pandemic crisis, the authorities were still monitoring the number of tourists for the day.
As for me I was not disappointed since I have been there few times before, but too bad for my friend... anyway, we made it up for her by having a good lunch at the Red Rock casino instead... LOL...
Took some pictures at another area though....
Ended up at Red Rock hotel and casino for our lunch...
Come, lets go in....Lucille's
While waiting for our food...
Let's dig in....
And after our lunch, we did our "hiking" here in the casino....
LOL..

Lost And Found For Now
AM I BACK TO BLOGGING AGAIN FOR GOOD?

I couldn't trust myself to answer my own question .... however at this moment of time, I am in the mood of putting up a post ........sooooo..... ta daa..... here I AM!
Lots of happenings during these few months, good times, bad times... I thank God daily for allowing me to live each day with Him by my side. And I hope that you, my readers are doing well and good too. I have been blogging faithfully since January 2008 and it has been more than15 years now. Blogging is very "trendy" during that time.... and now blogging is somehow "overshadowed" by this so-called Vlog, video blog... tik tok.... and what else... I'm afraid I am not up-to-date to what's new.... Either I have to start learning if I want to follow the latest or I do what I am doing now... Blogging! It sounds kind of "dinosaur" when I mention that... LOL....
Back to my current post, I want to thank my sister and hubby for arranging our trip, from one city to another. Really appreciate what they have done for us, (my classmate and I)....
Las Vegas.... we stayed at Tahiti resort as usual. While my brother-in-law stayed in to rest after the long hours of driving, we ladies were always full of battery when it comes to shopping! The premium outlets are just opposite our resort, just 200 meters away so how could we resist???

ALWAYS YAY TO SHOPPING!!
NIGHT POSE IN FREMONT STREET....
Our adorable "driver" who takes us wherever we want to go....

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 me when Jesus is living in me?" This is what I see in her now... Living for Christ.
And now back to where I left off, this post will be about another good friend of mine, actually my childhood friend cum classmate, she flew to San Francisco for a month holiday with me. My son picked her from the SF airport and together with me, three of us went to my sister's place in Sacramento which is two hours drive away.
My sister and family joined us for lunch at Lollibowl, a Hongkong restaurant which is one of our favorite spots whenever we go to Sacramento. Since it was a day trip for my son, we allowed him to choose what he wanted to eat. And needless to say, for desserts, his best choice is Leatherby's.... after the great lunch and dessert-licious ice cream, he drove back to San Jose, with some food of course, for the family's dinner!
We had these for lunch....
Big enormous portions!
This is my favorite... Char Koay Teow...

Costume Trick Or Treats
KIDS HAVE SO MUCH FUN when it comes to Halloween, they love the dressing up and the treats are the main attraction of the day!
We adults also did not want to feel left out on this day, my daughter-in-law and I wore the same costumes on this very day. Both of us became "cows" .. perhaps we really work like one... LOL.... and the man of the family became Mario minus the mustache. hehehe...
During the day, we went to a park nearby our house, there was an event going on there, as usual, the parade of dressing up, adults and kids alike were here and there, freebies were being handed out for everyone.
And in the evening, we walked from house to house in this area and by an hour or so, our little man's bucket was full of goodies already! He started counting his goodies the next day... and his total is always 10 cos that is the max number he can go at that time! LOL...

Yearning For Ipoh Food In San Jose
FOOD MADE FROM SCRATCH...
No going out to hawker stalls or restaurants to get these type of food which I have cravings for. Whatever we want to eat, we have to make from scratch and that is when I learn how to cook. The two ladies in the house ended up making trial-n-error dishes. With the baby taken care of by the male, the young lady and the senior one spent some time bonding in the cool kitchen. Yes, one thing good about cooking here is that the weather is cool enough, unlike in my own kitchen in Ipoh, I would be sweating left and right. LOL....
Here are some of the dishes for our own satisfaction and cravings....
*Lots to learn about presentation though.... we have to minimize washing-up, so we did not care too much about the decoration... Big wok on the table is a normal sight during meal times!*
Our cravings for Chicken Koay Teow....
This one is Hokkien prawn noodles...
Forgot to put in some greens...
No Kangkung here but we use spinach....
Steamed a big fish which we had to cut into half....
We don't have a big steamer/wok/plate...
Online Shopping Is Still The Best
When I was holidaying in Sacramento, I spent some afternoons surfing the websites for online shopping. Everything seems to be so cheap, not just the malls but from online websites especially branded shirts, wallets, shoes, household items and many more. I was thinking if I were to work in US and drawing salary from there, I would be spending a big portion of my pay doing online shopping! Malls close quite early over there, hence browsing and surfing online is a better option. In fact my brother-in-law does a lot of purchasing through the Internet. He does not like going to malls if he is given a choice, he said, he prefers to do his purchasing online, no hassle of queuing up to pay and driving around for a parking.
This year 2022 is a year whereby numerous weddings are preplanned and arranged, bookings have been done in hotels, restaurants and venues to hold the wedding vows and dinner. Well, a lot of these special occasions have been on hold in many countries and it is at this time we need to plan again for these special functions. Most of the shopping malls and stores are are now opened, however their sales discount are still varying. Getting cheap dresses is a bit difficult in the malls at this time. But fret not, in the midst of all these, we can always opt for cheap online stores! There are many websites offering the their best and stylish designs for us to choose from and one of these is called Wholesale21.

Wholesale clothing is the best place to look for cheap and yet nice, comfortable attires. Wholesale21 is a one-stop website to look for, whether you are planning to sell or buy, they have everything you might need to get the business going! In this website, we can access to a wide range of clothing for both women and men, ranging from pants, shorts, jumpsuits, skirts and casual sets for both young and adults which also includes plus sizes as well. There are also swimwear, tops, dresses to choose from. Their selection and prices vary accordingly and I am sure you can find one which fits the right occasion. Their wide collection are so much cheaper and prettier than the ones sewn or bought locally from the shops. Addition to that, their beautiful accessories ranging from shoes, hats, handbags among others, come in a variety of colors and styles to suit your choice, ranging from sizes S to 6XL, you can surely be able to fit into their items.
I like their 2 piece women outfits, I love wearing casual and their designs suit me perfectly. There is a big discount up to 50% now, the spring outfit is on and not only that, they have lots of accessories to go with the designs as well.
You can sit on your couch in your comfy track pants and swipe choices. There is no need to move out of your house and hunt for the products you need. So, there is no need to skip office and run from one store to another in search of a particular brand or product. Moreover with just a click, you can search, save and get alerts every now and then for discounts and more discounts!
Well, if you are buying your items from a reputed online store, you can be sure that you will not be cheated. This is because; people across the world are viewing those items, and if you think that there is a breach of trust, you can raise a complaint against it. Also, you can read reviews about a particular store, brand or product before buying it.
Well, gas is expensive and cars today need more of it to give you the required level of comfort. So, shop online and save gas that will be wasted on moving around looking for specific items. Instead, use it to go on a vacation with your family. Some of the best products are not available locally. However, you can buy it online and get it delivered at your doorstep.
