Ton's BD at KidZania

She invited a couple of her friends from elementary school to go to KidZania instead of birthday party this year, so here we went. Girls just took off and started what they wanted to do, and I didn't have chance to take any of their photos....! So, I hanged out with Mo the most of time. He went to Coca Cola booth first. It's his favorite drink these days, and he knows that I don't like him drinking it, he kept telling me he didn't need me stick around... He participated security job, invention lab, sight seeing bus, pilot, and construction work. We were there from 9am to 3pm, we were all tired...

Bus rider back home

Overheard a conversation between two senior ladies on the bus way back to home from work. One lady said she was worried about her daughter not getting married. "I was worried about her going out when she was young, and was careful not to let her go on date with some boys, but now I regret what I did. If she had more chances of meeting, she would've been married by now." The other lady was telling her that she was embarrassed by her daughter married to a man not from the good family. "Children of my brothers and cousins all married to the people from the good family. My daughter is the only one not married to such a good family. Even my husband's end relatives also married to decent family. I'm so embarrassed." The grass is greener on the other side of the fence. One is not happy about her daughter being single. One is not happy that her daughter doesn't belong to decent family that she can claim to her relatives. Probably both of them were trying to ...
