Why you should stay at home if you're sick.

Wow I'm on a roll here.

Anyway this will be my last update for tonight (I have previous updates on schedule!) so here we go.


Flea Market
This was 2 weeks ago. It was fun, mcm pasar malam, albeit cleaner and nicer from pasar malam in Malaysia.

Macam carboot sale in the UK pun ada jugak. Where people would sell their used items in a very ridiculous price. Some are brand new items too. I'll have to say, I really like one of the sellers there. Dia jual wood work. Very nice ahhhh.

Don told me dia pernah jual his broken game here. Ha. jahat tau mamat tu. On his defense, he said, sapa suruh org yg beli tu tak check dulu.

Anyway, this is where I got my virus from. Flu, demam and sore throat. Terus kena quarantined for a week in the room. Even now as I'm typing this pun belum 100% recovered lagi.

I'm blaming all of those people at the flea market. But abam Don ckp "I told you not to touch your face without disinfecting it first"

Bah.

Lupa nak kasi tau, they are so adamant on their "don't touch your face when you're in public" rule. And their "if you're sick, don't go near people" rule. And "if you cough, cover your mouth" rule. Which most Malaysians (including me) take so lightly.

There have been many cases where I was in my old office, hearing people coughing and stuff, and when I told them to go home and rest, they'd say something like "but I've got so much work to do".

yeah but when you're sick, you won't do much work anyway. And you're risking everyone elses health too. Nak tunjuk rajin depan boss, tapi spreading your virus everywhere. Pastu orang lain pulak yg infected. Some immune system isn't as strong as yours, nanti ada orang yg sakit lagi teruk.

Eh. Tersasar topik.

Anyway, back on flea market.


 Berenti kejap. Beli air.


Makayla and her cotton candy.









 I retouched my hair with blue dye cause it was fading. 


 We went to Goodwill (thrift store) and went to Walmart afterwards. 












Breighlyn's Birthday
We went to Kelly and Bobbys aftwerwards.
Fuh seriously mcm kejar kejar.

I didn't get to take a pic of Breighlyn wearing Princess Elsa and Anna's dresses, cause I forgot I had my camera with me.

Well, she's now bogel. ha ha ha. So not flattering.




Muka tahi sebab penat.




Don was doing the "duck face".

Home and Away

Random pictures. Not quite sure where to put them.

Kannapolis. 
I think I'm gonna have to start calling this small town my home. Cause it's where I am right now. Home.


 In front of our bank. lol


Downtown Kannapolis


On our way home.


Police Station. Very quaint isn't it? Yeah most buildings look like this.


One of the many churches here.


 A very familiar road. Road to home.



 A very shitty burger joint. Only go here for milkshakes and witch doctor (a mixture of cheerwine/dr pepper with pickle juice)

 Getting my weekly sustenance of witch doctor. 


Captain America. Cause I'm now in America biotchesss hahahaha.






Lunch Date with the Husband, the Sis in law, the Bro in law, and the friend.



They hate the only Asian in the car.
Ha. Joking. They love me, the only Asian in the car.


 See I told you they love me.


 Maybe not Anna tho....

Hahahahahahahah


 But this guy feels no difference.
Whatever.






Didn't take any pic of us in the restaurant. But here's a summary.

Food was great. I am living my life as a shrimps lover. 


We went to the mall afterwards, didn't take any pic cause I dunno. Damnit.

Charlotte and Alia

We had to go to Charlotte city for my stupid visa thingy.
We've decided to go to downtown since I've never been there (I've been AROUND the proximity, just never INSIDE)

The city girl in me was screaming "I AM HOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" at the first glance of a skyscraper there.

You'd have to know, living and working in a big city like KL put a permanent dent in my mind. Since I moved here (a small down about 30 mins from Charlotte), everything is so...spaced out. Because America is so rich in land, the buildings were built spread out, and not upwards. And everything is so far from each other, no one is actually walking on the sidewalks (unless if you're homeless and car-less).

So learn how to appreciate your city coz you wouldn't know how much you're gonna miss it once it's gone.


Yay for blue hair! I think having blue hair makes me so calmed and collected...i think only la. Not necessarily true. Haha


 Before going downtown, you gotta go through the ghetto area first. Ha ha.


WOOOHOOOO! SKYSCRAPER!


 Stadium.




 Traffic wasn't bad at all!! I love this!


 It was lunch time so you get to see all of these working people having lunch.


 Most of area are for businesses. No one wants to live in the city. Though it'll be cool (and expensive)


 That's my bank's headquarters. Right in central Charlotte.







 It was not a busy city like KL or London or NYC. But it was definitely more populated from my small town. lol


 We've decided to stop by Don's grandparents' graves.


 He said it was weird having our pictures taken in the cemetery.Well it kinda was. lol


 That's how clean their memorial park is. Unlike our kubur in Malaysia, everything is so well taken care of. Why can't our kubur be like this?





Don's grandparents.


Don's great grandparents. (Anna Mae's parents)
