“Hey Dear Dear look at the PINK Tree over there!!” screaming at Dear as I run towards it & at the same time telling Dear to snap pics of Me with it!!!

Hahah PINK Trees (or rather Pink Poui or Pink Trumpet Trees) - I just love them so much ever since I laid my eyes on my first PINK Tree in Spring time at my House backyard (inside my neighbour’s garden) at Geelong in Victoria, Australia when I was a student studying at Deakin University back in 1997 :

And next to the Smuggler’s Hold Retail Store is Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville where we see many Jimmy Buffett’s Memorabilia & Video Screens playing extremely loud Jimmy Buffett music non-stop………..as Dear & I watch & hear from where we’re standing on the below wooden Boat-shaped dining area :

Haha the music is far too loud for our ears so Dear & I soon step out of Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville - now looking at PARROT PERCH on play :

Haha still remember my own White Parrot back in my childhood days - it was a beautiful White with Yellow-crowned Parrot that one day flew to my childhood Kampong House in Singapore, & so my elder brothers decided to keep it as our house pet.

And this White Parrot of ours was a real smart & fun-loving bird who never failed to call me “Ah Net!! Ah Net!! Ah Net!!” (which is my nickname used in my family) whenever it saw me walking home (from afar) from elementary school………

Haha somehow our Parrot has listened well to my family members calling me “Ah Net!! Ah Net!!”, & thus also started calling me “Ah Net!! Ah Net!!” whenever I went near him!! Really amazing!!!

And well, below is a pic of Me (in pink dress) & my elder sister playing with our most wonderful Parrot back in our childhood Kampong House in Singapore :

Enough of my childhood pet Parrot, here’s Dear standing infront of a personalised Souvenir T-shirts Shop backed with tall thin Palm Trees at Universal CityWalk in Orlando, Florida USA :

Haha Dear & I have actually completed our big round-about at Universal CityWalk, shopping & dining & sightseeing since arriving this late morning at about 11.45am, & the time now is almost 3.30pm - so guess it’s about time I pick up some Universal Studios Florida Souvenir Magnets!!

Behind me is “Magnets & More” Souvenir Store (consisting of 2 separate Stores actually) that sells many Key Chains, Dog Tags & Pins :

Well, there’re tons of Sovenir Magnets from “Magnets & More” Souvenir Store but I believe they’re all China-made, & most of them come in Rubber materials (which I don quite prefer) instead of Polyresin which I like! Thus I only pick Jurassic Park & Spider Man cos they’re both Dear & my favourite movies!!

Nevertheless, the Storekeeper at the Souvenir Store is pretty touched by my sincerity when she tells me that many customers often tell her “I’ll be back to buy later!!” - they’d never turn up at all!!

But I really come back to her Store when I told her so this afternoon upon visiting her Store - heheh I kept my words & promise!!

And she’s really happy & gives me many Universal Orlando Resort Shopping Bags when I tell her they’re so beautiful heheh!!

While waiting for our Lynx Bus to get back to International Drive, Dear & I start chatting with a Spanish Mom & daughter who happen to be sitting at the Bus Station waiting for their Bus too - sharing about the various Lynx Buses to travel on etc………& I tell her that Spanish is a really beautiful language as I hear her daughter & her talking in conversations……………

And very friendly Spanish Mom offers to help take pics of Dear & I infront of the arriving Lynx Bus (Link 40) when she hears us talking excitedly about the attached Bicycle Rack on the Bus front heheh :
