Out of my Comfort Zone

Usually I would either go to my favorite Starbucks and read or goto Yoga before I went home. This evening, I didn't my yoga gear and I didn't go to want to go to Starbucks. So went my colleagues invited me to Central Ladproa to go shopping, I tagged along.

On the way to our destination, my colleagues, who always known to to be eater, were thinking of dinner. One was saying that she wants to eat light like vegetables. The one wanted something
spicy like Thai. Easy enough, there are plenty of places where both desires could be fulfilled. However, it didn't stop there, they continued on and on about which restaurant they would like to eat and what they would eat. After a few rounds of bantering, back and forth between the two of them, the vegetables were gone and spicy seafood came into play. They turned to me and asked if I would mind eating in a hole in the wall. I guess they don't know me well enough.

Before we can eat, we went shopping. That was the sole purpose of come to this place. These are some photos of outside area where are some kiosks where everything is sold. Here are some T-shirt with funny sayings that my colleagues seem to enamored with. Then inside, they were selling shoes, trainers for half price. In the past I would jump at it because of aerobics but now I do yoga, so no trainers necessary.

Women and sales do mix. Before we can shop, we have to get lost first. They have no idea to find store they want to visited - "Lyn". even though I don't frequent this shopping mall, I remember that its on the ground floor not far from where we were. But the girls didn't trust me, probably logically so, but I found ther store without asking for information. One
point for me.

And shopping and window shopping we did. Most of the time was spent waiting and window shopping for my colleagues. It just re-enforces my ambivalent feeling about going back to the US. I'll go and shop, shop, and shjop.

In varying degree of damage to the pocketbook, I did the least. Even though Jaeb didn't get anything but a couple of T-shirts, she did lend here credit card to Note to buy her coveted sunglasses. Doesn't she look beautiful in her sunglasses.

She was so proud of her new sunglasses that she wanted to wear it to sleep. At any rate, she was off the next day and planned to go to her mother's because they were going to take a trip to Cambodia. She was so proud of her sunglasses that when she went to her mother's place, she forgot her wallet at home. 55555
