I only hit the snooze button on the alarm for about 45 minutes today. That's about average actually.

I got another half day of work in before Pui, Pot and I headed out to lunch with Bob and his wife Ta and baby Gina at Fuji restaurant at Big C. I tried the deep fried bacon and asparagus, which wasn't that good. The deep fried pork thing wasn't very good either. The dumplings were okay though. Stick with the traditional Japanese stuff and you do okay there, I've learned.

After that, we went costume shopping for Pot. There was a Halloween stall set up by the escalators, but all they were selling were big rubber masks and witches hats - kinda sucky selection, especially when you're trying to find something for a 5 year old. One of the salespeople was walking around wearing a rather grotesque mask and did the boogy-boogy-boo thing with Pot, which scared him clean out of the Halloween spirit. He was definitely not interested in a costume after that.

(Which really didn't matter since we couldn't find any at Big C anyway.)

After that, we went to The Party Store (Soi Town In Town off of Center Road), which is a little Mom and Pop operation. There, we found Pot a really nice little 3-piece Batman outfit (trousers, pullover, and a cape/hood/mask combination with pointy ears on top. Pot was still put off about trying on (let alone buying) a costume and mask after the experience at Big C, but I purchased the outfit anyway, as it was litereally the only kid's Halloween costume for sale in Pattaya.

After that, it was home for a long afternoon/evening in front of the television watching Waterworld. (If you're going to waste your time, do it in style, eh?) Pui and Maid Go sat at the kitchen table talking for the evening, while Pot ran around in his Batman mask, scaring the cats, quite happy after all.
