wow, that was really interesting to read, even though it was just snippets, but quite revealing. I'm stuck on the "still trying to lose weight" phase. LOL. Oh, and as for whether or not there may be things that my family couldn't get in malaysia, i doubt it, - they even have the world's 5th largest mall in the world in malaysia - This happened after I came here in Dec 2003, I suppose, so i'm jealous - http://www.timessquarekl.com/aboutus.html . that mall houses the world's biggest waldenbrooks/borders bookshop - lol, i may have to get THEM to send ME stuff. hehe. We also have hypermarkets kind of like Sam's and Costco in M'sia but they're more like, French or British franchises. I guess the only unique thing i can get them is unique Texas paraphernalia! Anyway, Have a great week ahead!
How fun! It's so interesting to read this. I honestly had no idea you were 41. I horrible with age though - I'd never make it as one of those people at carnivals that guesses age and weight.
Letti - thanks for your message, I had no idea Malaysia had a huge mall like that!
Cindy - thanks for pointing out to the people who can't do math how ancient I am LOL!!! Hugs! Age is just a number...a very large number for me hahaha
