It's almost 2pm now on 2.9.14 and I will be leaving the house in an hour time to school. TH is out to Kuala Selangor to bring back the mended swing chair and I am all alone this day with Lassie. There was a little mishap just now when the door at the kitchen slammed closed by the wind while I was out in the backyard feeding Lassie. I was locked outside because the door can only be opened from inside. Gosh! I was left in the dark but I didnt panic at all. I stood calm and continued with my feeding and watering the plants while thinking of ways to get in. Naturally, I try out the first option which is to enter from the front. I used a leave rack to get the keys from the front and it worked out perfectly for me. Thanks GOD. I got the keys and entered the house from the front. Great!
Now, I want to pen down what transpired yesterday. Firstly, I like to commend my boy for willing to stay at home to revise for his ongoing SPM Trial exam all alone and did not complain about our plan to leave him at home on a holiday. Well, my gal earned her $100 reward from me and wanted to go shopping for clothes with it. She was very lucky that day when I threw a challenge to both of them in the car. Told them that we have chosen the number for our new Nissan Teana and asked them to take a wild guess on the Letter in front of the 955. As it is a Malacca number plate, it is MCP 955 and I was pretty sure that it was a tough guess and willing to part with a $100 cash reward if they guess it correctly. Then my gal asked a good question and I was too silly to give an answer, a hint that directly led her to the answer. She asked if any of the letters has relevance to us and I said M for Montana. She guessed MCJ, then she guessed MCP, damn! Damn lucky she was! Sob sob, there went my cash to the lucky gal.
Back to yesterday, it was the first time my gal and I went shopping together for clothes like buddies. At first, I thought I can go with her, just the two of us in case TH did not want to go but he drove us there and let us shop on our own, great! We set a time to meet up for tea and dinner and the rest of the time, my gal and I happily enjoyed our shopping. We enjoyed choosing our own clothes, trying them out together, giving opinions and eventually buying them. This was the very first time my 13 years old gal chose her own clothing and queued up to make payment with her own money. Previously, she was still very excited about going to bookstore and read up books while I go shopping. Now, she has grown up and began to enjoy shopping for clothing and items that she adores.
We shopped at FOS, Cotton On, Forever 21 and etc. She commented that the branded clothes were very expensive. Guess she learnt the value of money from our shopping spree. She is a wise gal in terms of spending. She is not a spoilt brat who wants expensive items. She understands money and knows how to get it well spent. She asked for permission to buy her friend SX a gift and of course, it was kind of her to appreciate friend and she has the green light to do so. She got her a nice scrapbook.
In total, my gal bought a pair of jean short, a skirt, two t-shirt, a grey camisole and a pencil case from Lovely Lace. She was very happy and had not got enough of it but poor dad was just too tired waiting. So, after dinner at Dubu Dubu Korean Restaurant, we left for home. My gal understood and left in a good and satisfying mood.
Well, looks like I have found a partner in shopping. She has grown up and we now share a common pastime. I am grateful.
