Texas : Collin Creek Mall

Saturday!! Finally it's Sat!! The first weekend of our week here. Had actually planned to go to the Texas Fair. But decided to get our Internet working here. The guy had actually set it up but didn't give us any password/id. So we called AT&T and got some techie coming down to help us fix it. We thought the modem was spoilt since it can't be reached at 192.168.0.1, but it turned out that it was connecting using PPPoE thru a wanport so there's no address for the modem.

After the tech support left, Liling called to say her laptop was also screwed from installing the DSL Cd. And it was more severe this time, coz the BSOD was showing everytime she boots up. Sam was over at her house but couldn't fix it with the same method i used for Minh's laptop. So they both came over and we tried fixing it till we realised we mixed out 1 important step that we used for Minh's laptop.

Okie, after all that's done, its already 1230 noon. I went on to cook lunch while Sam did his laundry. Pasta with vege and beef! Something nicer compared to the plain pasta we had initially.

A close up of the pasta i made!~ Nice....

By the time washing and cooking was done, it's already 215pm. Decided it's too late to go to the Texas fair. Quite wasted coz the weather was good. Anyway, we decided to walk around other malls which landed us in Collin Creek Mall.

Reached there at around 245pm and the 1st store we went into is Macys.

It's a totally Robinson kinda layout. Nothing much to show, you'd probably see it all in Sg. There were some other interesting things thou. They sell Ipod thru vending machies, like those tibbits machine in SG selling M&M and Twisties. But it's Ipod inside here!! There's more picture of it in the album I posted here.

The mall is typically a SG kinda mall...nothing much to shop around. But it might excite girls who look for brands like Forever 21, Gap , and what have you....I am not too sure myself.

This is what happens to guys like me and Sam. ( Minh was the photographer, so who's not here?)

After that we decided to go home, on the way home we decided to stop at a grocery store just beside our house. It's called Tom Thumbs and it's kinda like Walmart, abit more exp. And guess what we got each.

Yes, we need water! War is coming and its better to stock up. 2.5 gallons for USD$2.19. (Yes you all are asking how much is 1 gallon? 3.87 litres). We finished our shopping and went home. And here's the big part.

Our official cook is gonna make some Viet Chicken rice. Oh i tell u it's damn nice. Abit sour and smells good with those "yan shui" u add in normal chicken rice. The sour taste makes it appetizing. Thanks Minh for the effort you took ( while we were all watching TV, I really dunno how I can fit in here)

Remember....if you ever wanted to see more photos that are not on this blog, they can always be seen here! Don't shortchange yourself, get it since its free!
