feel really tired.. been shopping the whole day at great mall.. and bought so many things i'm really guilty.. haha but then the stuff was pretty cheap.. that's why i bought so much stuff..... anyway i've bought them already so i shall not regret =) went to gilroy to shop too yesterday after visiting the monterey aquarium in the morning and driving down the scenic 17-mile drive along the coast and stopping shortly at the beautiful sandy carmel beach. it feels so comfortable and nice just walking barefeet on the soft fine sand... sat down on the sand to enjoy the breeze and scenery and there were two little babies just crawling about on the sand.. they were so cute i really felt like crawling over to play with them but ultimately i didn't dare to cos their parents were in close proximity. great mall is pretty nice to shop... nicer than gilroy i feel, maybe cos it's indoors and it's easier to get from shop to shop... qingyuan drove the 3 of us to the great mall and shopped with us all day... i kind of pity him cos whenever we wanted to try clothes poor him had to sit somewhere to wait or just entertain himself on his phone.. guess initially he was more enthusiastic.. but eventually his interest waned when we seemed to be ever as enthu about going into shops that probably seemed similar to him.. =P bought this pair of platfom slippers from skechers too and it made me at least 6 cm taller it feels really good haha.. =P well at the expense of some comfort of course. came back and ate cheesecake jing's aunt bought for the 3 of us... and i think i probably fnished nearly half the cheesecake by myself since jing and her sis seemed to have gotten a little sick of it... =P and then played jing's aunt's grand piano for at least an hour... cos jing's aunt has the titanic score.. and somehow got really hooked and mesmerized by the nice score... sigh sadly no photocopy machine so i can't zap the score.. =( if jing manages to renew the car insurance.. think i'll be back home tomorrow night.. if not, will probably stay here for another day or so...
