WALL-E

My son has been waiting for this movie for months. He was thrilled to finally watch it last Friday. I think it was worth the wait. We all enjoyed watching WALL-E. Amazing how true friendship can go beyond any border or galaxy for that matter.

Photo Hunt :: Colorful

PSHunt
Come and join the hunt here

I found the perfect subject for this week's theme when we went to the mall yesterday. I saw this colorful cotton candy and snow cone kiosk. There were ready made cotton candy wrapped in plastic but you can order a new one if you like. You can choose the flavor from the colorful plastic canisters filled with flavored cotton candy crystal powders. The multi-colored bottles contain the liquid flavor for the snow cones.


Yohan chose mango flavored snow cone (you can either put it on a cone or plastic cup with a straw) and his Dad chose raspberry. I had to pass because I still have cough. Hubby bought assorted cotton candy that he shared with Yohan.

London Parking For Rent

I know many working people who spend a lot of money on parking. Only a few companies offer the privilege of free parking to its employees. This privilege is often limited to high ranking officials in the company. Majority of regular employees have to shoulder the expense of parking. This kind of expense can be quite heavy on one's budget.

Parking is not always available. Sometimes, there is a need to go to work earlier than usual in order to secure good parking. I remember one of my officemates who goes to work an hour before the time in order to get a good parking slot inside the building. Latecomers often have to park their cars outside the building. It's safer to park within the premises of the building because there are roving guards. The parking slot outside the office offers very little security.

In London, there are specific parking spaces and garages available. Park Let offers a list of all strategic London Parking for Rent. It has a good list of parking areas in London. Before going to your destination, you can check the list for parking spaces near that area. You can save valuable time by consulting the said site.

Difference Between a Dream and an Aim

My friend never fails to send me beautiful quotes everyday. Reading inspirational words is a wonderful way to begin the day. Let me share this beautiful quote that I received just a few minutes ago...

There's only one difference between a dream and an aim ...

A dream requires soundless sleep to see, where as an aim
requires sleepless efforts to achieve.

Hope your day started out well. Enjoy the weekend!

It is also perfect as a gift for family and friends who enjoy coffee as much as you do. It is a lovely present that you can give on birthdays, anniversaries, weddings and other special occasions. You can never go wrong with a beautiful gift like this.

I personally enjoy mocha frappuccino. I found this recipe online and my husband often makes me a nice mug of frappuccino at home. It is very easy to do. All you need are the following ingredients:
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/3 cup strong coffee
1 cup ice

In a blender, just combine all the ingredients except the ice. Then blend the ingredients until the sugar has dissolved. After that, add the ice and blend until smooth. You may add more ice when needed. Pour the contents in your favourite mug or glass and enjoy. I love my frappuccino with a slice of blueberry cheesecake or carrot cake.

I just received the results of my son's final exams for the first quarter. It was posted on his notebook by his teacher. I'm very happy because all of his exams are perfect.
  • Reading - 50/50
  • Math - 50/50
  • Science - 60/60
My husband and I are off to pick him up later after class. We're going to have lunch at the mall and we're going to watch Wall-E.
