Huh? Really ah?Originally posted by jetta:I lurve lurve lurve washing cars. Maybe I should get a job washing cars?
How much are car washes where you are? The free wash you get, machine or hand wash? I prefer hand wash. In Japan, they have Ladies Day. You get a free car wash (500yen only!! who says Japan's expensive?
) when you pump 1000yen worth of gas.
Hmm....I think the regular wash is about C$7.50. And then, a thorough one for about C$11? It is touchless wash ah. The drive-through type.
Ladies Day ah? Then, guys dressed up as Ladies for the discount or not?

Milo jiak por but heaty also leh. I would like cold milo. I'm a coffee person though. Still, for vanity reasons, I limit myself to one cup a day only. Unless gatherings then boh pian, maybe 2 cups lah.Originally posted by jetta:Neither. Milo's my poison. -

My friend had a bad experience with a touchless wash. Car exited with a long scratch right down the hood.Originally posted by littlestream:Huh? Really ah?

I still prefer to wash it myself. I find it therapeutic, especially with the radio accompanying me. Bliss.
Japan is interesting. The first time I was there I didn't know the inside scoop. It was much better the second time around because of my students. They showed me many places and exposed me to many things I would never have known about. I kinda miss living there sometimes more for the food and the events than anything else. -
I hate coffee. From the smell to the taste, bleh. No offence.Originally posted by littlestream:Milo jiak por but heaty also leh. I would like cold milo. I'm a coffee person though. Still, for vanity reasons, I limit myself to one cup a day only. Unless gatherings then boh pian, maybe 2 cups lah.
I can remember waking up to the smell of Nescafe when I was growing up. Gimme soy milk or milo anytime. -

I know. It can be pretty strong for some.Originally posted by jetta:I hate coffee. From the smell to the taste, bleh. No offence. I can remember waking up to the smell of Nescafe when I was growing up. Gimme soy milk or milo anytime.
You drink soya milk also ah? The tng lang one or ang moh one? I drink a glass each day. Wonder if I should opt for no-sugar added type. But then, will taste awful. The beverage that I can without sugar are coffee and tea. Other than that, it has to be sweet otherwise, boh taste ley. Hor? -
You know, jetta? You are rich in life's experience. Lived and tasted many different lifestyles and cultures. Good for you!!!Originally posted by jetta:My friend had a bad experience with a touchless wash. Car exited with a long scratch right down the hood. I still prefer to wash it myself.

Cannot stand ang mo soy milk. Whenever we move, the first thing we look for is Yeo's soy milk and Milo.Originally posted by littlestream:I know. It can be pretty strong for some.

(US$4.30 +/-) The base commissary stocked the Vitasoy soy milk so we made do with that. My daughter doesn't like milk so by hook or by crook I had to find soy milk that she would take. When we got here, I found the Ranch 99 again so I'm happy. So you know what I have to do when I move up to Seattle.
I know what you mean about the no-sugar option. I had to forgo the condensed milk in my Milo when I was pregnant with my daughter because I had gestational diabetes. Ever since then, I've gotten used to the taste and I love it. As for no-sugar soy milk, bleh! -
In spurts one, that forum. You likee? Lots of nice recipes, no?Originally posted by littlestream:jetta, your that kitchen forum quite quiet hor? boh lang one leh -
Yeah, look for Ranch 99.
I think it will be nice to be up in Seattle. Okay, minus the fact that your inlaws and outlaws are there. But I think it will be nice.
So, you have what? Another 3 months before you move? Are you going with a rental first? And then look see before you buy? -
Funny you should ask. This has been a point of contention with granny. We know the area because we lived there before, so it's just looking for a house at the right price. Preferably move right in. Hubby's talking to personnel today. Hopefully we'll hear good news. *Fingers and toes crossed*Originally posted by littlestream:Yeah, look for Ranch 99.

It'll be okay. We'll make the most of it. At least I have 3 good friends there, not like here, zero. The year without hubby will fly by. -
Yah like it. Closer to the festivities, I will visit more often for the recipes.Originally posted by jetta:In spurts one, that forum. You likee? Lots of nice recipes, no? -
Everyone's nice there. That was one of our criteria for new members - Must be nice.Originally posted by littlestream:Yah like it. Closer to the festivities, I will visit more often for the recipes. -
Orh, that helps plentiful liao when you know the area. So, you folks sort of just slip right into place. Good for you.Originally posted by jetta:Funny you should ask.

Well, I'll keep fingers crossed for you too. Toes cannot, too fat.
Hee hee.....actually, fingers also cannot. Gotta work and type ley. Anyways, my best wishes for you.
Got support system, lagi best. While we can be independent and all, but once in a while, we do need some help and muscles.
If hubby is away, don't worry. Got online friends mah. All will be well. And you will be doing some part time job right? And your daughter is old enough to stay home so you can go out too.
The "official" age for kids to be allowed to stay home alone is 12. What about US? -
Yah, I noticed that I am classified as baby member.Originally posted by jetta:Everyone's nice there. That was one of our criteria for new members - Must be nice. -

Actually I'm kinda looking forward to moving close to my friends. You don't know how unsettling and frustrating it is to never know who you'll meet. Whether they'll be nice people, etc. I got so lucky that I left Japan knowing two super duper nice people. They are friends for life.
I'll go back to work but I don't know what to do. Like you say, no more career, just a job. -
Nothing leh. All I heard on the radio today was Bucky clarifying his comments about Simon.Originally posted by littlestream:eh, jetta........what's with this taylor and simon cowell ah? i was watching entertainment tonight and it seems taylor is unhappy with simon leh. you know anything about it? -

Wei, in the loo ah ?

Well, any move is a stress lah. Even from town to town. Some adjustments and then a matter of getting used to. Anything out of our comfort zone, we get thrown off, right?
