    • In that case, how?  Should I bring that along and distribute them when I am in US soil?

      Nope. Seems like every country we've been stationed at, has no Twisties. My mum's always had to mail them to me. My kids are hooked on Twisties too. icon_mrgreen.gif Our fave thing to do is eat it and wash it down with Yeo's soy milk. Heavenly! icon_razz.gif

      No need to bring over k? Even without all the Sg makan, I haven't lost any weight. icon_cry.gif

    • I just checked the baggage limit, it may be 23kg per bag and i may be allowed two bags.

      Will need to call the airline to confirm again.

       

      I hope that can buy ice wine at the airport, but i hate the trouble of custom check when i stop over.

    • anyway i think you come at the right time for Black Friday shopping. Remember to buy a Copy of the news paper that week to get thru what to buy at lowerest rate. That is a lot of reading....... 

      Couple of Mall you might want to venture if you are in Socal.

      I think South Coast Plaza is a great place to experience.

      I prefer Victoria Garden as compare to the Grove. both of them have the same concept of open Air Mall. Although the Grove is beside farmers market and you can eat. and hope to catch a glimps of hollywood fame. Remember to say hi to the Singapore Food stall.

      For Black Friday Don't go to outlet mall as they don't have the reason to give geat discount. you are better off at Mall.

      Gingseng you can get it in monetary park. that would be like one sunday morning when u are dying of dim sum and buy that after your brunch.

    • Cough.....there is bak gua, prawn crackers & bak hu for you if you do.......if I do get thru the custom safely......

      I had to reduce the number of bak guas because the errmmm......weight went kinda overboard....so its now only 21 boxes of bak gua and 3 tins of bak hu.....& 3 small packets of uncooked prawn crackers in flower shape.

      I asked the Bee Chiang Hiang people why they wont set up store in USA.  The auntie replied that they did.  Maybe it went kaputed?

      If we take a franchise there. You think you want to errrmmm....help set up store?

      And dpnt tempt me.  I stay clear of casinos nowadays. I am a lousy gambler.  I lose money too fast.

      I still want to go to Old Town San Diego.  There is a 'Del Sol' shop there where I can buy lots of change colour nail polish when exposed to sun radiation.

      Come on over anytime. Bingo isn't as bad as playing the table games or slots. You'll have fun. I'll arrange for a few friends to join us when we go up. The bingo halls give us free beverages too. I'm not a gambler. Seeing the evils of gambling through my mahjong loving Mother has set me in the other direction.

      I would love to set up a store. That's been a dream of mine for a long time. Did I tell you that I've registered a biz here?

      Ok, a young man from my motorcycle side tells me that I need to register with ESTA.

      I did.  But can someone remind me why it was necessary?  I never did have to do that earlier.
