The Bible says that as good Christians we need to be Christ-like. One of the Christ-Like ways is to Love They Neighbor.
I like to do that but I couldn't. Why?
Firstly, they come out from their house, their faces like we owe them money. It is BLACK! Who would dare to approach someone that looks like they are going to bite you in the face?
The last time they had occassion and their relative park their car near our house, my husband accidently bumb the car coz it was dark on the street and he couldn't see, They try to pull a fast one to get us to pay a certain amount. Later then we realize this guy works in the car servicing line. We were shock that we tried to do this to us. We are neighbors with your sister or brother leh. Not like we not paying but claim through car insurance but to pull a fast one on us, it is so unlike a Christian way leh. Perhaps I am assuming he is Christian like my neighbor and perhaps he isn't that is why he pull this on us.
Several occassions, I bake things and wanted to bring some over to my neighbor to give them but then on second thought perhaps don't. After thinking about the fast one their relative pull on us, better not in case if they stomache ache from eating my food, they will sue me. So how to be Love Thy Neighbor?
Last time, our people stay here swing by here to say hello to them. You think they will remember you? Guess not! Hahahaha ....
& I end this with, Father Forgive me for saying all these above coz this isn't right to bad mouth about my neighbor but I just have to get this out of my head.

I dream again!
Woke up @ 4:46am this morning unable to get back to sleep. I tried hard to lay on bed and get back to sleep. Then I start to dream.
I dreamt my husband was touching me as I lay on my bed and then there was another pair of hands also touching me. I flip out my comforter to find a baby underneath it. My guess it was alive coz I felt its touch. It was a rather frail baby. What do I mean frail? I meant in a way that there were visible vains on the head. It does not have any hair. The hands and arms were very small like a pre-matured baby. Then my husband carried it in his arms. Why I keep using "it" is becoz I can't tell from my dream is it a girl or a boy. Just a very frail baby. I woke up then in fear coz again it felt very REAL!
So what does this mean?

Few days ago, I dreamt I was in a car accident. A minor accident that happen in a car park when I was backing out my car.
So what does this mean?
From:http://www.dreammoods.com/dreamdictionary/a.htm
I don't normally had dreams that felt so real and drove me with fear. Whenever I had dreams like that, it affects me even I woke up for few hours.

Baby
To see a baby in your dream signifies innocence, warmth and new beginnings. Babies symbolize something in your own inner nature that is pure, vulnerable, helpless and/or uncorrupted. If you dream that the baby is smiling at you, then it suggests that you are experiencing pure joy. You do not ask for much to make you happy. If you find a baby in your dream, then it suggests that you have acknowledged your hidden potential. If you dream that you forgot you had a baby, then it suggests that you are trying hide your own vulnerabilities; you do not want to let others know of your weaknesses. Alternatively, forgetting about a baby represents an aspect of yourself that you have abandoned or put aside due to life's changing circumstances. The dream may serve as a reminder that it is time for you to pick up that old interest, hobby, or project again. If you dream that you are on your way to the hospital to have a baby, then it signifies your issues of dependency and your desires to be completely care for. Perhaps you are trying to get out of some responsibility. If you are pregnant in real life, then a more direct interpretation may simply mean that you are experiencing some anxieties of making it to the hospital when the time comes.

Perhaps you are trying to get out of some responsibility. If you are pregnant in real life, then a more direct interpretation may simply mean that you are experiencing some anxieties of making it to the hospital when the time comes.
To dream of a crying baby symbolizes a part of yourself that is deprived of attention and needs to be nurtured. Alternatively, it represents your unfulfilled goals and a sense of lacking in your life. If you dream that a baby is neglected, then it suggests that you are not paying enough attention to yourself. You are not utilizing your full potential. Alternatively, this dream could represent your fears about your own children and your ability to protect and to provide for them. To see yourself or someone as a baby in your dream refers to your desire to be cared for and nurtured. Alternatively, the dream may mean that you or someone is behaving immaturely.
To dream about a starving baby represents your dependence on others. You are experiencing some deficiency in your life that needs immediate attention and gratification. To see a dead baby in your dream symbolizes the ending of something that was once a part of you. To dream of an extremely small baby symbolizes your helplessness and your fears of letting others become aware of your vulnerabilities and incompetence. You may be afraid to ask for help and as a result tend to take matters into your own hands. To dream that you are dipping a baby in and out of water signifies regression. You are regressing to a time where you had no worries and responsibilities. Alternatively, such a scenario is reminisce of when the baby is in the fetus and in its comfort zone. In fact, some expectant mothers even give birth in a pool, because the environment in the water mimics the environment in the uterus. It is less traumatic for the baby as it emerges into the world. So perhaps, the dream represents your search for your own comfort zone.
To dream that a baby is walking or dancing refers to the potential and possibilities that life has in stored for you. The future looks bright. The dream may also be a metaphor that you need to take baby steps in your relationship, toward your goal, in a work project or whatever undertaking. If you have a baby in real life, then the dream is a reflection of your hopes for that baby.
Few days ago, I dreamt I was in a car accident. A minor accident that happen in a car park when I was backing out my car.
So what does this mean?
To dream that you are in an accident signifies pent-up guilt in which you are subconsciously punishing yourself over. Perhaps you are not proud of something you have done. Alternatively, the accident may symbolize an error or mistake you have made. Accident dreams also represent your fears of being in an actual, physical accident. You may simply be nervous about getting behind the wheel. Or the dream is trying to warn you of some accident.
To dream of a car accident symbolizes your emotional state. You may be harboring deep anxieties and fears. Are you "driving" yourself too hard? Perhaps you need to slow down before you hit disaster. You need to rethink or re-plan your course of actions and set yourself on a better path.
To dream that a loved one dies in an accident indicates that something within your own Self is no longer functional and is "dead". It is also symbolic of your own relationship with that person. Perhaps you need to let go of this relationship. If you dream that you die from the car accident and actually see the reactions of your loved ones, then it suggests that your reckless activity is affecting those around you. This dream is a wake-up call.

MOE - Application for School Placement
Ok... we will be heading back to Singapore in 3 months time. Tick Tock ...
My child needs a school to return back to now that she falls into the Secondary 1. MOE have a assistance help that helps returning Singaporeans to easily get their child back into school. It is the Application for School Placement. However, you must not have an existing LOA with any school.
I am happy that MOE have set this up to assist stressful parents pain in trying to get their child back into school. Why I say this? The reason behind that most schools this day are very conciencious about their "reputation" and they don't anyhow accept students. I have searched over the internet and heard about bad news about schools rejecting application for entry. I am uncertain how true are these feedback but sure don't want to find myself in this bind. For one thing, I do feel that they should have a separate e-mail to handle all this application instead of one general e-mail address that receives e-mails from enquires. I just hope that my application request does not get buried with all those enquires. No matter. We shall see if they response in 14 days like they say they would.

Black Friday Sales 2013 - Great Disppointment to me!
Every year, everyone looks forward to this day. I am want of those too! It is Black Friday Sales! A time you can go crazy about getting real dirt cheap deals.
This year Black Friday Sales was an utter disappoinment to me.
1. Walmart - a place I love to head to, to feel the Black Friday Sales crowd. Not that I am going join in to grab the good deals but just want to get into the store to see anything else left for me to pick.
This year, Walmart had it all down. They lock the place up and only allow certain number of
people to enter to shop. So the rest of the people had to wait outside. This I can understand as to have better control as every year, Walmart ends up packed with people inside and then,
the que in the cashier line doesn't really move any faster. I end up leaving after seeing the
crowd outside waiting.
2. Target - Thought I would have better luck down here. Head to Target to see a line formed outside.
I had never head to Target before during Black Friday Sales but didn't know that people also
head there so the sale must be good too compared to Walmart.
3. KMart - Before we parked our car, we thought there was a line outside too but not as bad as Walmart
and Target though. In terms of a snake line. However, a closer look, did we realized that people
were crowding to get coupons on sale?
4. Best Buy - We didn't expect to end up here this year as Best Buy always have tons of people quing
outside waiting to grab the deals. However, this year, we head to Best Buy and was surpise
that no crowd outside but inside. So, we end up grabing cheap Blu-Ray DVDs to keep us
entertain for the next few days and over the weekends. How cool is that!
5. Fry's Electronics - Oh Yah! Certainly not forgetting about this! Sure, we did grab some deals. We again
hit the Blue-Ray DVDs and some cheap Micro-SD card.
It sure was a tiring week!

Left 4 more months here. I am counting to the days of release from all the stress down here and the nitemare being over.
Things haven't gone my way all these while. Have been really extremely difficult down here. Helping people out have drive myself crazy and filled with frustration. Can't say enough nor express enough of the frustration I have to go through to tolerate. Don't talk much and don't mix much either. Hate going to gathering coz always being left alone with facing the walls and just getting through it. Just tired of mixing and getting hurt. Well, travelling was indeed fun! I will sure miss Las Vegas, and the Orlando trip.
Thought of returning here isn't ever coming. With these entries to remind me by the frustration I have gone through.
Counting to days to the application for my girl's Secondary School. Hope she gets in

I broke down .. something affected me
Ok... not sure is it due to age but I find it harder to let go of things and allow it to affect my peace.
That day some crazy lady was upset I honk her and chase me down the street. Despite saying Sorry ... to ease her ego, it never did help. She feels she is in the right .. so what can I say? Ok lor ... I don't usually honk people but I afraid that might get into accident. Isn't a honk used to avoid that? Guess not to this crazy woman. If I were in clear mind, I would have capture her vehicle number and report her since she so daring to chase me down the street just to confront me.
Well, the following day she didn't approach me again. Guess she must have realized her stupidity for doing that. I was ready to offer to call the police to solve this if she would have approach me again with aggressiveness.
Ok... this is what happen. In an elementary school carpark. I was parked in the carpark slot with my car heading out of the road. The aggressive lady's vehicle back was facing me on the opposite of the carpark slot. My car already came out of slot and she was reversing so I honk to let her know that I am moving. Wow ... I should have let her reverse and knock me so that she can be happy that she needs to pay me. I simply don't want this to happen to my car. Why go through all the unnecessary situation. However, guess she was too egotistical to even think that way and can chase me down the street to ease her ego. Sigh ....yet I meet another crazy person. God ... can send me people with more sound mind? Yet I allow things like this to affect my peace.....
I spoke to Father the other day about this and as usual being emotional again ... tears came dripping as I tell the story of being able to cope to struggle and pain of being alone. Father comfort me in some way. He told me people are under a lot of stress and tell me to come to Church to meet happy people. He was right on that meeting happy people in Church. After few days, my pain is healed!

School system in my area
I have been here for 2 years now and every time I pick up my children, I find it frustration.
1. Car park not enough. So every morning, better get there early if not, you will be ending up finding car park before you can bring your child to school. Yah sure you can drop your child off and let them walk into the school by themselves. However, no security guard to watch to ensure your child is in school after you come pick them up end of the school day. Especially when your child is still small, you definitely don't want to drop them off and let them walk by themselves. There are other parents and other people in the school compound and if you know what I mean.
2. Pick up point. Well, that works well. Still got a tad bit frustration there too. People don't cross at the zebra crossing. Are they blind or simply to their convenient. Ok... if you do that... fine ... have decency to cross over faster and not take your own sweet time. However, many people have no consideration. They just cross without looking at on coming cars. Don't they even drive to understand this concept, cars need to move coz it is a pick up point! DUH!!! Well, the school really needs to stop releasing children from that corner to get all these people to not cross like that! Arghhh... think not gonna see that happening.
3. Ok ... I do feel that some teachers are good at directing traffic. However, some really isn't. Can please don't get these people to do traffic! It is damn dangerous! I once was once in my vehicle ready to move away from the pick up point. This teacher directing the traffic tell me to move but there was someone still trying to cross at the zebra crossing. Hey ... you trying to get me into trouble?
4. I have encountered this during 2 terms of school. Whenever the school starts, the school never seem to organized properly enough to get the children in line when the bell rings. There is always issues. Well, I won't be able to see this ever get better in the near future.
5. Not sure exactly how the school system works here. My child lost all friends that were with the same class last term. This term have to get to know new friends. Not that it is a bad thing but is this how it works, I really wonder? Or is there a real reason behind it? Anyway, doesn't really matter to me anyhow coz I am leaving soon. Thank GOD that my child is strong and does not get affected by it.
The good side to it ... I noticed that the principals here really work hard. They care for their children and they walk around to ensure things are in order. Hhahhahha .... I am laughing becoz many of the parents will go direct to principals to complain :P. They even go to the extend to do the job for the teachers. How many would do that? That is one thing I admire the principals here. They already at the top of the school but they still look out for things around the school and not just walk walk only....Really KUDOS to them!

Farewell Party ... Pot Luck
We had a farewell party for someone and everybody suppose to bring something in which everybody calls it "Pot Luck". Why is it called "Pot Luck" you may ask? This is becoz you won't know who is going to bring what until the day of the event and you may find someone else bringing in the same thing as you. So what so lucky about having Pot Luck? Nothing except like as if in competing for best tasting dish. That is why I hate it when someone tells me its Pot Luck. Cook something and bring it in. Not that I hate cooking but just that I don't like comparing my cooking against others. Besides, we all have different taste for food. What I think taste good to me doesn't mean the same to you. & of course you certainly do not want your husband to say this in your face that someone else cooking is better than yours and go ask the recipe. That is why I dread going to events like this.
Still, another reason to why I dread having to drag myself to events lately is becoz it is boring. I sit there like a dead log. Even if I sit with someone else, I don't feel like talking. What conversations can you really make when you are not working and only cooking and talk about kids? Isn't really my kind of specialty in this area. It just sounds so old or one my called it "Auntie". I like cooking or at least I used to but I don't like to take it as part of my conversation. Children, I have my own agitation with them, but I don't really want to rant in public about my family affairs. I want to talk to someone about heart issues but don't think I can trust anyone I turn to. So I kept quiet until someone say something I know about. So that is why... I'd rather spend time at home. Besides, I have my many share of people pretending to be my friend and forgetting me after they have used enough of me. So loner sometimes is a better choice. No heart breaks!

Crazy Drivers again!
Just the other day I was driving my son to school again in the morning. At the same place of my car accident, again another driver can't wait to cross over to the other side. Yes, they stop then they move to the center and wait for me to pass then go. HELLO!!! There is a STOP sign there! You are suppose to stop and wait for car to clear than go. It isn't like a traffic light! Besides, I don't read minds and know what your intentions are.
This morning, another incident. Another one of a crazy driver! I am in the school carpark and in reverse gear to park into the carpark slot. This driver again cannot wait and over take me from behind just to park infront of me.HELLO!!! I am not snatching your slot lah! There are so many empty slots what! What is the damn rush? No slot, park somewhere else lah! School zone leh! I have my son in my car! Then never mind. She rush to get that slot don't mean she is a hurry. After she park, she sit in the car and wait. I tell you some people really crazy one! Why must coz this type of unnecessary accident?
ARGHHHHHHH!!! This is Arizona's Lifestyle in the millennium! Sad.... that people change into like that!

Netflix
Ok... been here for 2 years now and still not subscribe to Netflix. Why? What is the hold up since it is so popular here why not?
Well, for one thing, Netflix doesn't really offer the latest release in the theater. That is one major thing I do not want to waste time to subscribe. When comes to watching movies, who don't want to watch the latest movie? Who want to watch outdated movies unless they didn't watch it or they love it? Ok.. I know that Netflix have tons of movie and TV dramas and kids. However, I am just hard to satisfy!
Finally, gave up! The reason being Blockbuster (the place I always borrow my latest movie in DVD Blu-ray format) has left the area. So we are stuck with RedBox which is another place to borrow movie. However, RedBox must use a credit card to slide to borrow and the box resides in public area with no one to care for so you use your credit card at own risk.
After viewing so many offers like CineMa, Hululu, Amazon, Blockbuster On Demand offering online streaming movies, we settled with Netflix after all. Why? That is becoz they have Trial Offer and we can try. There were true enough tons to watch but the disappointing part was there isn't new release movies. There are TV dramas I can settle for. Well, this is my review for Netflix.

More unforeseen ...
Ok... We are suppose to head back to Singapore in Mar coz someone couldn't come over here to replace my husband. So we were happily moving on with our lives until time comes.
One find day, Singapore side called my husband and offer a position o him. He then decided to call this guy who is suppose to come and replace him to confirm his arrival date. However, found that he isn't coming after all. Now we are in a bind of thinking what our next step should be. To take the offer or not. Why always have problems come out from the blue? Sickening! If he turn down the offer, it would means that we are taking the risk of not having a place when we return back in Singapore and also could mean that he would have to stay at home without pay until a position is open for him. So instead of taking the risk we took up the offer and take a step to see what turns up.
Latest, update, we heard that someone put up to replace my husband. We are relieve of this piece of news. So we are heading back in Dec after all.
Recently again, heard from my husband telling me that someone with their child went back Singapore to take the SPERS exams and didn't make it and have to return back to Primary School. Damn.. another piece of SHIT news coz this means time to worry even further. Not like I have nothing on hand to worry about but more piece of unforeseen ahead of me.
Can this get any worst? Really starting to feel so much frustration.
One find day, Singapore side called my husband and offer a position o him. He then decided to call this guy who is suppose to come and replace him to confirm his arrival date. However, found that he isn't coming after all. Now we are in a bind of thinking what our next step should be. To take the offer or not. Why always have problems come out from the blue? Sickening! If he turn down the offer, it would means that we are taking the risk of not having a place when we return back in Singapore and also could mean that he would have to stay at home without pay until a position is open for him.

It's SUMMER! HOT HOT HOT!
Its getting hotter than ever. It went up all the way to 111 degree and it seems much hotter. The skin feels like it is being burn when you get around during the day. Try to stay cool by staying at home with air-condition running. The electricity bill also going to run up high during this Summer time, no doubt about that!

School Problem
My girl's class have been hold up almost all the time after school bell rings. Usually I don't mind waiting but it bugs me to see all the rest of the children comes out and my child is still not out yet. I understand from my girl that the teacher holds the class up 5 mins after the bell rings coz the class did not behave properly during lesson. My question here is, why can't she punished the culprit and instead hold the whole class up? There are innocent people who needs to get home. This happens too frequent. Argh.....
So I approach the Sign In/ Out counter at my girl's school to ask if I could Sign my girl out from school everyday instead of waiting for the bell to ring and she replied, "Sure. If it is a pain for you to wait." Well, I replied "Yah you are right.(I chuckled)It is a pain!" Sigh ... really, this is the kind of service you get from schools down here. So sad... are they that badly paid that they couldn't care to give a proper service? Simply can't understand! Why courtesy is so hard to give out these days? It is so expensive meh? No wonder evil is getting stronger each day coz we as people are feeding it with our unhappiness.

Trip to Universal Studios @ Orlando Yr 2012
We only visited the below 2 park.
1. Universal Studios Florida
2. Universal's Island of Adventure
Fastpass @ both parks?
The so called Fastpass @ Universal Studios, they called in "Express" which have to come with a price.
Universal Studios Florida
1. Revenge of the Museum - I rode this and had a BLAST! Worth the wait !
2. Despicable Me Minion Mayehm - This ride was fantastic! Worth the wait!
3. Woody Woodpecker's Nuthouse Coaster - We love this ride! It was FUN!
4. The Simpsons Ride - We rode this at Universal Studio @ LA and we are still
loving it!
5. Terminator 2 3D - This is not a ride but a show. We saw this @ Universal
Studio LA and we still love watching it
6. Curious George Goes to Town -
There is a ball playground for kids. This you have to bring your
kids there. Adults will have fun too! I did! The soft balls drop
down and kids get to collect the balls and shoot it. There is also
a big vacuum for them to suck up those soft balls. LOTS of FUN for
the kids!
Universal's Island of Adventure
1. The Wizarding of Harry Potter - We didn't ride this as the que was crazy! Even
we arrived early, we couldn't get to the ride.
It was 150 mins wait already when we reached
that at 8:30 am. The wait time went as high as
200 mins. Would be great!
2. Pteranodon Flyers - You gotta ride this! It is AWESOME! One thing though,
kids that are 56" high can't ride but the less than 56"
can ride with one adult.
3. Amazing Adventure of Spiderman - This ride is something like the Transformers
ride @ Universal Studios LA but much more
better. You gotta try it! Worth the wait!
4. The Incredible Hulk Coaster - We didn't ride this. Would be great!
5. Seuss Trolley Train Ride - Great view and a slow ride!
6. Dudley Do-Right's Ripsaw - We didn't ride this as we wouldn't want to get all
soaked coz it is cold weather during our visit.
Would be great!
7. The Eight Voyage of Sinbad - This not a ride but a show.Gotta Watch! This show
is AWESOME!
8. Poseidon's Fury at Island - This not a ride but a show.Gotta Watch! The show
got no seat. You have to move from stages to
stages as they tell the story but not too bad of a
show.
This is just my opinion of the park. Overall the park was alright. However, I do say that the toilets for the ladies never seem to be enough coz there is always a long que everywhere. They sure need to improve in this area.
On the other hand, the entrance at the gate where they checked the bag, that needs to improve too coz it is way packed with people until you don't even know where the que is. It is just terrible!
The long walk to gate of the Universal Studio is just too much! Lucky I not that old yet if not I need a wheelchair to wheel me in.
Another thing about the park is that, try to avoid during school holidays coz every rides take 60 mins or longer to get to it. Just 1 day to cover the park seems not enough and we took 3 days to cover some only.
Trip to Disney World Yr 2012
There are 4 parks to cover in Disney World.

Trip to Orlando
We flew to Orlando on 18 Dec 2012.
We took the flight Southwest airlines which was a non-stop flight. It took 5 hours to reach. The price of the airline included snack so that we don't have to pay to eat. However, snacks that are served includes biscuits and peanuts. Water is for free.
We rented a car. The agent was Dollar. We ordered through Hotwire and it was cheap. However, the insurance coverage wasn't. The service was alright. They don't go through the car with you when to check it out to ensure that any dents from the car that you have chosen does not fall under your responsibility. So have to ensure that the car you check out isn't much damaged.We got a Altima.
Later, we checked into our hotel which is at Travelodge not too far away from Disney World. Not sure the exact address but it has a HUGE orange infront and Waffle House next to it. Many people stayed in this hotel. Guess it was cheaper than others. Every nite we return the car park is full. The place is a bit cramp. Perhaps is becoz we took the room with a sofa bed in which we pulled out. The place is a bit old. The place to hang clothes and safe are rusty. The fridge isn't working but they have additional one. The toilet door paint have peeled but not fixed.
We started our trip in Orlando by heading to Disney World first. This time round we came prepared with the plan on which rides to head first when we head in. We 1st drop in on Magical Kingdom. Was surprised to find out that we still have to take another transport in to the island which we find rather troublesome. It is either we take the boat ride, train or the bus. We did try all of them. The train is fast but limited seating. The bus is also not too bad. The boat drive slow. However, it can take a lot of people one time.
Next stop which is also the next day, we head down to Hollywood Studios then followed by Animal Kingdom and Epcot. We spend 2 days at each park except for Animal Kingdom.
The park at Animal Kingdom doesn't have much to see. It looks more like a zoo visit. Although I must say that I do like very much the Lion King show.
We took most of the rides using FastPass which helps alot to reduce the time of waiting. However, you can only have one FastPass on hand but that works for us. Better than don't have. Disney World sure thinks and cares for their customers! Overall, we spend wonderful 8 days to cover the 4 parks. It was fun and sad to leave!
The Christmas Eve we visited Disney World at Magical Kingdom. Boy, was it crowded with people! Even when the parade started we could hardly even see it coz people were all carrying their kids high up on their neck.
The kids try to catch every character they could find at all the 4 parks to get their pictures taken and autograph. Even my 5 year old boy loves having pictures taken and his autograph.
We also visited the Universal Studios while we were there too. It was crowded as the school holidays have started and everyone hit theme parks. The que system SUCKS! The encountered our first crowd just at the gate of entrance while checking our bags. The place was packed to tons of people but not clearing at faster. It was almost 9 am. Then enter into Universal Studios with a long walk first with the bridge. Then another long walk before we finally reach the entrance. It was like HELL of a walk! Weather was cold and I have to drop by toilet 2 times before enter the park.
Universal Studios have a FastPass like Disney but they called it "EXPRESS". However, it is not for free. You have to pay for the price. Still the lane doesn't really move that of an express the way I see it. We qued up for 60 mins for most ride for the 1st visit there. We only covered 3 rides on just 1st visit and that is bad! Some rides took as long as 150 mins. One of which is the Harry Potter ride. I went there 2 times and the other time was 200 mins. I just gave up! Those people who hit the Harry Potter ride must have been at the Park first thing once the park opens and hit the ride thus making the que so long even I went there early on the 2nd day, I still never get to ride. Frustration!
At Harry Potter ride, they sell the wands that were used in the show. I was interested to get one for myself but sad to learn that it cost US$31 plus. There are many of them which also includes the bad guys. Besides, I don't know who I like best and not willing to spend that much on a stick. I thought I could get something else as a souvenir but the Griffindor scraf also cost US$31 plus. Other souvenir like key chains ain't all that great. So end up didn't get any. The Butter Beer was good though! It tasted like Cream Soda but much creamer and cost $4 plus. Overall, we spend 3 days there with some frustration.
Still, the ladies toilets is LONG! There never seem to be enough toilet everywhere. For a theme park that doesn't have customer consideration first at hand, the park isn't all that enjoyable.
The walking was alot. We skipped our lunch and snacked most of the time with our own chips and biscuits especially at Disney World coz food is expensive there. We take a heavy breakfast in the morning and eat dinner at nite.
We had lot of fun even though the kids were occasionally misbehaving which they always do everyday but I get by as a mother. I enjoyed most was the Disney World! We flew back on 31 Dec 2012 to enjoy the New Year!
