First destination : Sleep America .

| Welcome to Sleep America ! |

| Happily Choosing Bed =) |
We were asked to sleep on every single bed in there ! So I really went around with a Pillow and lie on all the beds that I deemed comfortable =P LOL ! We were told not to feel 'pai seh' if at the end of the day we decide not to buy from them . Unlike in Singapore , the salesperson will sure to 'attitude' you .
 |
| Left : Pink! Right: Yip |
That's our guide for these couple of days ! Right beside her is Yip (that's how she introduced herself when we first met) . Anyway , both of them will be accompanying and bringing us around most of the time till we move in to our apartment .
 |
| Serta Latex Foam Bed |
This is the most comfortable bed we both tried and simply love it ! It's Latex Form . It has a layer of soft top over it . Definitely it's gonna costs us a BOMB too =P So we decided to think about it and promise to come back for it if we can't get any better deals .
 |
| Tempur-Pedic Neck Pillows |
See that ! According to my hubby , he used to sell these pillows for approximately $300 each . And it's only $129 each here ! Also ... The manager actually agreed to do a 1-for-1 if we buy his mattress . Gosh ! Tempted =X
 |
| Free Ice Cold Mineral Water from Rex , Manager |
We slept a couple of hours in there and before we left . Rex , the Manager , was very kind to offer us all each a bottle of ice cold mineral water .
Anyway , we did managed to get a similar one in another shop , Bedmart , at half the price ! When we came back to let the manager know ... Guess what ! He actually slashed the price so much to compete with its competitor and offer us at ONLY $999 . I told him off NICELY "Argh ! You should have told us you could do this much for us . We're truly sorry about it but we already bought and paid in full to the other shop earlier ." Just imagine how low their cost price is ! It's priced almost $2,000 (already discounted for us) and they can go as low as $999 . Grossly ... Disgustingly ... OVER priced .
Anyway , it's LUNCH time . Tucson doesn't really have much Chinese Eateries/Restaurants around but they do have a handful of Vietnamese Restaurants here .
So that's where Pink! is bringing us for today's lunch .

 |
| Pink!'s Beef + Spring Rolls with Steamed Rice |
 |
| Yip's Bowl of Dried Pho . |
 |
| For Her . |
That's a mixed combo for me . Since it's my very first time trying out the food here , the waiter actually suggested that I try this so that I can have a taste of everything that's good on the menu . There's Spring Roll , Beef , Fish Cake , etc.
Hmmm ... I can't remember why I forgot about his order . There's no picture of it . Guess because it doesn't look too appealing that's why =X Haha ! Anyway , after lunch Pink! got recalled back so she had to send us back to rest for the day . We shall continue with our itinerary the following day then .
Later in the evening ... Hubby's colleague , Miss C and her family , took us out for dinner that night at this place called New Town Buffet .
 |
| Welcome to New Town Buffet ! |
 |
| Hot & Sour Soup |
Start off my meal with a nice Hot & Sour Soup . Still prefers Crystal Jade's and Ding Tai Fung's =P
 |
| Sushi Roll |
Apparently , Japanese cuisine such as Sushi and Bento are one of the popular and well received choices amongst Tucson-ians .
 |
| Broccoli , Mushrooms & Pork Ribs |
It's buffet so picked up some random food to try it out . The pork rib is kinda good despite its look . Haha !
 |
| Pizza |
The pizza are freshly baked and served . It's not bad really . I should have one more slice if I'm still feeling somewhat hungry .
 |
| Ice Cream Sundae with Nuts & Colourful Chocolate Rice =) |
I get to do my own ice cream here at New Town Buffet ! So much fun ! People who know me well enough will know that it has always been my dream to be able to scoop Ice Cream for a living =P A reason good enough for me to go for second helping but was stopped by him yet again >.<" Argh !
 |
| Panda Brand Fortune Cookie ! |
Most restaurants here in Tucson gives Fortune Cookies when they present the Check aka Bill . Interesting yeah ... The cookies are really nice to munch on too =P
It's getting late . Time to wash up and sleep =) Good night !
