When I growing up, I love to play pretend. After watching those ‘kung-fu‘ TVB drama, me and my cousin would go outside and re-play the fight scene we watched before. We would dress up using blankets as cape and took out our plastic/wooden swords to fight, just like in the TV. Sometimes it would be a scene of a prince saving the beautiful princess. That was how we past time in my younger years.
Kids are so lucky nowadays. They get to play pretend like real people. They can wear nice Kids Costumes like princesses, fairies, pirates … you can mention, you can find it. Back then, we used what we could find whether an over large tee-shirt with a hole in the bottom from our grandmother’s closet or leftover fabrics underneath the sewing machine. We patched them up and that’s our costumes. Sounded like fun right? But I really wished I can have a ‘real’ princesses or ‘kung-fu‘ costumes kids can have today.

My brother has arrived safely from KL to LA. He is still trying to adjust to the local time here.
When we arrived at the arrival hall at LAX, Brandon wasn’t too happy already. I guessed there were too many strangers walking around us and he was unsettled about that. We waited a brief 10 minutes and out came my brother. He greeted Brandon eagerly but Brandon returned with a big cry. Brandon was like, “I don’t know this person, let’s go home.” I told my brother not to bother him and not even to look at him in the eyes. We walked to the parking structure, and Brandon was crying all the time.
But once he got in the car and I asked my brother to sit in front instead of the back. Once my car started going, Brandon stopped. And I talked to my brother all the way home, Brandon was quiet at the back. Then I told my brother to mention about ceiling fan to Brandon, and he did that. From then on, they were communicating. Once at home, Brandon felt much better and he called my brother, “TAU-FU!“ And when we go out, if he doesn’t see my brother around, he will question me, “TAU-FU??“

Everywhere we go there is traffic in Los Angeles. Don’t try to get on the freeway during the peak hours because you will get no where. Last Sunday, I drove up to North Hollywood with my co-listing agent to meet a client at the property. Before we left home, I’ve checked online to make sure the traffic was minimal as it was Sunday. After driving up on 110 north for about 10 minutes, the drive began to slow down. We thought we might be late for our appointment, but luckily after 10 minutes or so, we were able to drive past by the accident site. I was guessing that the accident just happened, or else it would take longer for us to pass through.
Three cars were involved and the damage was pretty bad. They would probably need to find a very good professional for the dent removal and repair. If they need help in this, they should search through Collision Repair Experts for a reputable auto body shop. It is easy, just enter a zip code and a list of auto repair shops will come up and you can also read testimonials on each of the shops. It is important to find a good and honest auto body shop, and it is not hard to find one, just use Collision Repair Experts.
