First stop: Chinese grocery store at Olive Blvd

Second stop: Target Departmental Store - gives me the feel of John Little

Third stop: Walmart - gives me the feel of NTUC

While at the Chinese grocery store, it was really funny as my Nepalese and China classmate were with me. You know in Nepal (I visited Nepal twice before!), they call those chinese dumplings which we call "Jiao Zi" as "MoMo". At the store, they were selling those frozen dumplings and my Nepalese classmate was so excited about seeing "MoMo" which my China classmate was like "err... what is MoMo?" It was really hillarious trying to explain to the both of them that it's the same thing.

Finally bought a mattress after a week! I used the gift card which Meiling gave me! Thanks so much Meiling!!!

I bought an air mattress those which you use a pump to inflate it. Got a queen size and it only cost USD$24! I was really happy with the buy as the advertisments I see on campus are selling 2nd hand spring mattresses for like $50 - $80. I was hesitant to buy a 2nd hand mattress and I'm sure a new mattress would cost much more! Finally I don't have to wake up with a backache...

I also bought electric heaters which were on promotion. Thought I'll save on using the gas heater which heats up my whole apartment by using the electric heaters. FYI - Gas is much more expensive than electricity here in the US.
