Shop till you drop!

 Who can resist shopping??? Not me!
We were there with my hubby's colleagues from 10am till 7pm. 

A shopping paradise with lotsa good bargains! No wonder everybody turned crazy!




 
*Ahem* excuse me, don't be mistaken, I did not buy this. Juz for photo taking purposes only ;P
I am not impulsive when it comes to buying things. I love this Coach jacket very much & it fits me perfectly, but I guess the chances of wearing it is low when I go back to Singapore. 

Saw this at one of the kitchenware stores. Cheap but is unnecessary huh? I guess it is easier to bake in a big pan & cut out the brownies, don't you think so?

Cheap Bread machine!

Skyline Drive

Gotta 'feed' the car breakfast before we go for our skyline drive.

 
Its a long long journey ahead....

 Magnificent view
 
 Visitor center

 Extremely cold weather, I needed some warmth

Continued with our journey again. 
Gonna drove through the tunnel, look at the ice formed over the rocks

 

Up close & personal with deer

 Waterfall

Time to head home finally! Those drivers/passengers in front were all my hubby's colleagues.
Wow, 9hrs spend on this skyline drive in total. No wonder we were all dead tired!
