Dear & I have just got off Lynx Bus (Link 37) coming from Universal CityWalk – now at International Drive crossing the road to the opposite side to transfer to another Bus to Prime Outlets International Orlando :

Soon, Dear & I board the arriving Lynx Bus (Link 8), & Iuckily I ask the middle-aged Black American female Driver whether we’re hopping on the right Bus, & I’m told that we’re on the wrong side of the road cos her bus is going to the other end of International Drive (South End) where Orlando Premium Outlets is located.

However, Dear & I were told earlier by the Link 37 Driver (while coming from Universal CityWalk) that we should cross the road, so I try to confirm with the Link 8 Driver again just to make sure…….& guess what?!! She kinda gets mad at me & tells me sarcastically “Well, Come on Come on drop in your fare!!”

Hahah I’m literally shocked by her bad attitude!! As I know the journey to Orlando Premium Outlets is an hour or more from here, & though I’d love to have us go there as Dear’s never been there, we’ve to only satisfy ourselves with Prime Outlets International Orlando cos it’s much nearer since time shortage is an issue for us here………

So it’s very important that Dear & I get on the correct bus, & that Black female Driver should have been more understanding, besides I merely only double confirm with her in a very nice polite way!! Hahah I hope more Tourists to Orlando would not get to meet such bad attitude Driver like we just did!!

Anyway, Dear & I just get off Link 8 cos I figure that’s the way that Woman Driver’s trying to tell us to cross back the road to hop on a Bus to our right destination – Prime Outlets International Orlando!! Hahah!!!

Crossing over the road back to the same Lynx Bus Stop where we got off Link 37 earlier, Dear & I soon get on Link 8 (North Bound) to Prime Outlets International Orlando – located at Oak Ridge Road at North End of International Drive :

Here’s a snapshot of the I-Ride Trolley Red Line South Bound Stop 1 outside Prime Outlets International Orlando where I used to take I-Ride Trolley from here to International Drive Flea Market as I inform Dear :

Below pic shows a Red Tag indicating “Buried Electric Cable” on the grass grounds at Oak Ridge Road – such is a pretty common sight seen here in Orlando as I ask Dear “Ha!?!? Is it dangerous that people are stepping on these grounds?!?!” & of course his answer is NO cos everybody’s been using sich method :

Once inside Prime Outlets International Orlando, we begin our shopping by first looking at Dear’s Shoes as seen below :

Here’s a Foot Measuring Device provided inside the Shoes Outlet that Dear’s trying on to see his exact Shoe size :

It’s a beautiful day today with bright sunny weather as Dear poses infront of Prime Outlets International Orlando, & he’s really pleased that I brought him here……….

We’re now looking at Kafe Kalik – A Taste of the Bahamas Restaurant – such a variant colored dining place where Dear & I enter to check out its Menu – & its interior’s really stunning with glass panels of flowing water & gorgeous furnitures & enchanting deco!!

Hahah still remember I used to receive a call from America telling me that I’d won a Cruise for Two to The Bahamas back in year 2002 – though worth a couple of thousands, it was at absolutely no charge for Me, except that I’d need to buy my own air tickets from Singapore to The Bahamas first, before embarking on the Cruise………..

And Dear & I nearly bought the idea of having our Wedding Honeymoon on The Bahamas Cruise then (as we were preparing for our Wedding), if not for us not being able to decide on the Cruise dates cos Dear was not able to confirm his Leave from work!!

Hahah but sometimes till today, Dear & I wonder if that was really a Truth Price for Me at absolutely no Cost, or just a Scam, cos if I remember correctly, I’d need to submit & pay several hundreds for some administration fee etc (though then we thought it was necessary!!)……….& guess it was a Blessing in disguise that Dear couldn’t make up his mind about his Leave then huh?!?!

Well, below are the very colorful pretty Business Cards of Kafe Kalik Restaurant – Well, Dear & I plan to return here for dinner later in the evening if time allows………:

We’re now walking towards the Food Court here at Prime Outlets International Orlando cos Dear needs a drink :

This Food Court is sure big but not as huge as the Food Court at Orlando Premium Outlets where I’d visited :

Dear’s now back with his very LARGE cup of American Coke – hahahah what else but our all-time favourite!!

The Coke is really good – so chilly & extremely cold & so cheap costing only US$2 – hahah Dear & I are really pleased & we spend some time resting here zipping our Coke & people watching………

We’re now approaching Rack Room Shoes in search of Dear’s Shoes & I try look around for mine but none pleases our eyes…………

And then we come across the Disney’s Character Warehouse here at Prime Outlets International Orlando where Dear & I get all excited over the many Disney’s Plush Toys & start posing with them!!

Hahah these must be ex 2008 Christmas editions as I hold up Mickey & Goofy dressed in Santa Claus & Christmas outfits :

And then Dear shows me this following Minnie Mouse dressed in PINK Pirate attire & holding a Sword in her hand asking if I like her cos he wana buy for me :

And I immediately go like “WOW WOW she’s so cute!!” Yes Yes but I reply “May be later – let me first look around at others to see if there’s a better nicer one…….” & so I continue posing with the many Disney Dolls :

And I actually like this other Minnie dressed in kinda Autumn outfit with an Apron looking like a Country girl as seen below held in my left hand, & so I tell Dear “Think I prefer this one!!” :

Here’s a close-up view of the Country Minnie dressed in sweet Autumn colored outfit with Autumn leaves – hahah I’ve always loved Autumn leaves & am surprised by the many little cute details on the Dress………….but on closer look at it, I notice it’s made up of rather poor quality & so I tell Dear “See how, may be I’ll get this one but let me look around first…..” :

“Hey Dear Dear come pose here infront of the blue Mickey & Minnie couple, they’re nice!!” & so I do as Dear says here posing with Goofy infront of them :

And now it’s Dear’s turn to pose as he picks up his favourite Star Wars merchandise & plush toy Yoda :

Dear with Explorer Goofy & Baby Mickey wrapped cosily in blanket :

Hahah now I like this handsome Explorer Goofy cos I think he looks so cute in his Vest, Hat & Belt, & even more adorable straping across his Camera – & so again I inform Dear “Well, I really don know now……..may be I’ll take this Goofy instead heheh………”

And so I again continue to have fun possing with more Disney Plush Toys in this fun-filled Disney’s Character Warehouse – seen here with a pretty Disney Princess & lovely Maria the Cat :

Soon I turn my eyes on this much bigger PINKY Princess Minnie as I’d actually wanted to find a partner for our Micktie – in fact I’d been looking for one during shopping but none seems suitable for Micktie………

And Dear says “Okie, then buy this one since you also like PINK color!!” Hahah yea I do like its Pink color but “Don wan la, cos I think she looks like a Nun to me!!” heheh :

Well, I’m posing here with more chubby-looking Disney characters – Hahah they’re so fat so fat!!

Dear’s now posing with Pirates of the Caribbean Kids Jumper & Plush Toy :

Hey it’s baby Lion King as I pick him up together with Pinky Disney Princess :

Just then, a White American lady shopping here at Disney’s Character Warehouse with her teenage daughter stops & asks if Dear & I wana have a pic together!! Heheh it’s so sweet of her as Dear & I take a pose for her :

Now, I’m carrying a Winnie the Pooh Backpack – heheh I’ve actually adored such backpacks for a long time & have serveral pieces to my collection todate – a Bugs Bunny from Movie World (Cold Coast), a yellow-colored furry Bear & a few Koala & Kangaroo ones from Melbourne & Sydney!!

And I’d actually also wanted to get this Winnie the Pooh one if not for Dear commenting that it’s a little too childish for me hahah!! guess I never grow up still heheh!!

Dear’s posing again for me here :

What a huge cutie huggable Stitch as I pose with him & Ariel the Mermaid :

Hahah, Dear & I are loving Prime Outlets International Orlando alot as we play around & have so much fun with the many Disney plush toys inside Disney’s Character Warehouse………… & now we’re hurrying out of the place to continue hunting for Dear’s shoes as night sky falls…………

And Dear actually reminds me saying “So my Dear Dear wan which doll?!?!” to which I quickly reply “It’s okie, later then buy la since I can’t decide which one I like!! Let us find your shoes first cos that’s more important!!”………..

Below shows Adidas Outlet Store at Prime Outlets International Orlando as Dear & I enter :

“WHOA this place is so big!!” Dear comments as he gets overjoyed standing inside Adidas Outlet Store :

There’re many rows & rows of stacked-up Shoe Racks as Dear & I start searching for suitable pairs of Track Shoes for him to try on :

And then here comes along this really tall huge Black American Adidas sales guy whom Dear & I ask for help in locating the Shoes, & I take the opportunity to ask him for a pic heheh!!

This Black American’s name is Jim & he’s 20 years old (whose girlfriend is 22 years old) as he introduces himself & he’s actually a pretty shy & very humble dude who tells me that his hair looks very bad & he’s kinda messy when I tell him he’s so tall, big-sized & handsome!!

In fact the employees here at Adidas Outlet Store are all Black Americans, & mostly men too, but Jim is by far the TALLEST among them all!!!

And heheh YES Jim plays Basketball too!! In fact he loves Basketball & plays the Sports a few times in a week & that’s why he becomes so tall as he tells Dear & I………..

Well, here’s the pic of very tall handsome Black American Jim & Me inside Adidas Outlet Store – hahah just look at the HUGE difference in both our heights haha!!

To me – the above pic with Jim is one of my prized photo in this entire American Trip with Dear!! Heheh thanks alot Jim ))

Dear & I are now visiting Nike Factory Store as we leave Adidas Outlet Store empty-handed again :

Yea Yea I’m impressed with Nike Factory Store as I see yet rows & rows of bright ORANGE colored Boxes of Nike Shoes stacked high up beautifully…………..& soon Dear happily starts trying out Shoes :

In the midst of looking out for Shoes for Dear & waiting for him to try them out, I meet this fantastically cool Black American Family of 8 – YES besides Mommy & Daddy – there’s a total of 6 young KIDS altogether!! Isn’t that so amazing!!

The 6 kid siblings – in one or 2 or a few years of age apart, all look so cute, so adorable & so beautiful!! And their Mommy is pretty young too as I compliment her telling her how fortunate she is to have all these beautiful kids!!

And then heheh I ask if I can have a pic with them!!

Of course YES Mommy says……….& so I pose here with her wonderful kids & her (with Daddy trying out shoes behind Mommy) :

Here’s another snapshot of Me with the 6 gorgeous Black American siblings :

These kids actually love being photographed as they soon keep possing non-stop, in different styles & actions, for my camera!!

And after each little pose & being photographed by Me, they’d even ask to look at their pics on my camera heheh!! Then they’d continue posing for me again then look at their pics on my camera again & so on & so forth & this goes on for a while hahah!!

These brilliant kids are having so much fun possing for me – & obviously enjoying -  smiling widely & laughing & giggling non-stop, as much as I love taking their pics clicking my camera away…………..

And I’d actually wanted to take their home address so that I can send them their photos, but I thought considering so many child kidnap & abduction cases here in Orlando Florida, I’d better not ask for their address in case I scare their Mommy & Daddy!! cos after all we’re just strangers & have only just met!!

Then it’s time to bid farewell when the kids’ Daddy is done with trying out his Shoes – as they wave GOODBYE to me with the 2nd youngest boy still posing in style for me (heheh!!), & their Daddy looking on & smiling :

By now, Dear’s pretty exhausted from trying out so MANY pairs of Nike Track Shoes hahah!! And I definitely like this bright ORANGE pair which he’s wearing right here below – my PICK for him but too bad he doesn’t buy it :

So we again step out of Nike Factory Store with no Shoes for Dear………..& now we’re returning to Factory Brand Shoes seen below at Prime Outlets International Orlando where we’d actually earlier visited & Dear quite liked a pair, though he wasn’t very sure about it then :

Dear trying out his choice Track Shoes here again inside Factory Brand Shoes :

Dear’s trying out another pair of Leather Shoes here :

And below pic shows Dear paying for his Shoes inside Factory Brand Shoes soon afterwards :

And cos I’ve brought along my complimentary Coupon Book (that comes in Spanish Language too cos there’re many Spanish residents here in Orlando!!) which I got from the Guest Services Centre here at Prime Outlets International Orlando, Dear’s entitled to some 10-20% discount heheh :

Soon we’re out of Factory Brand Shoes as Dear checks his Bill & discovers a mistake of extra debit by the sales guy, so we go back in there to have it rectified………..

Then we decide that we can’t have dinner at Kafe Kalik as it’s already late now at around 8.35pm…….. & we’ve to be on our way out of Prime Outlets International Orlando for our later tonight’s plan!!

And well, Dear & I totally forget about my Disney Doll from Disney’s Character Warehouse – be it the Pink Pirate Minnie, Autum Country Minnie, or Explorer Goofy we completely forget them all!!

I’m so sad cos who knows I might end up getting all 3 should I not be able to decide on which one if only we’ve remembered to go back there!! But now, guess I could only look at, & be contented with, my above Disney Dolls’ pics ((

Now, let me show you Dear’s shoes which he just bought from Factory Brand Shoes here at Prime Outlets International Orlando :

Pair of Track Shoes from Columbia Sportswear Company :

Very good quality Earth colored Columbia Track Shoes with very comfortable interior :

Pair of Clarks Leather Shoes :

Made of very good soft Leather in a very handsome color, this pair of most comfortable & durable Clarks Shoes is Dear & my favourite :

And I especially like its visible Stiching & thick Sole :

Well Dear really loves Outlets Shopping as much as I do – if only we’ve got more time to spare………Like he always say “We need at least ONE month here in Orlando!!” hahah!!

Ok okie I shall leave you all now as Dear & I depart Prime Outlets International Orlando here at Oak Ridge Road walking towards the I-Ride Trolley Stop…………See you later!!
