10-Jul
Today is going to be a busy day for me (真难得 lol..). Meeting J-san to visit her "Chairman". I had already woke up early to get ready but still ended up late.. ARGH.. Spent $14 taking a cab to Novena only to receive J-san's call that she will be late *slap forehead*. I should have stick to taking train instead. The church was pack with people. Weather was rather hot but we managed to find a good spot, somewhere outside with fan above us. heheh.. Chairman is good to us, for he knew we were both sweaty hence blessed us with a good spot. The session last for approximately 30 minutes. Maybe I will go to the one at Yishun (with air-con) some day.
Took a bus down to FEP, catching up and shopping! It have been a while since I last went shopping with J-san. We used to go town 1x per week at least. Our first stop, Tom & Tom Coffee. This is my first visit there, the place is quite cozy and the ice coffee are nice too. I preferred them over Starbucks and Coffee Bean. A little "episode" that we encounter there, while we were engross in our conversation, J-san suddenly pointed there was a lizard 2 seat away from me! My reaction was somewhat slow.. hahah.. The color of the lizard is darker then those we saw in our house and it even have dark spots all over its body. Gross...
[C]!! I have not went to the shop for about 4 months? I used to regular the place and I really mean VERY REGULAR. lol... At least 1x per week or at times 2x per week. And each time I sure to bag something home. I know I am suppose to be on a tight budget and shouldn't be spending but it is really hard to control. Picked up 2 items, they are really too pretty to pass. What do you think?
I had another appointment - Eden's 1st Birthday hence I left Orchard around 1.45pm to rush home. I have to reach home latest by 2.45pm otherwise I will have to put-up with sis's sulky face. As for J-san, she stayed on at the shop to try some outfits and she is getting haircut at the salon upstairs.
"Luck" was certainly not on our side, there was a heavy downpour by the time we reached the bus-stop. Strong wind + Heavy rain = Wet-Wet-Wet. We had targeted to reach LJ's place by 3.15pm (since we are taking cab) but we only reached her place at 4.15pm. Saw a few familiar faces and of cause the birthday boy. Eden is cute but kept crying. Maybe there are too many strangers in the house? Oh! I finally saw LJ's infamous sister-in-law in real life! OMG... Cannot Make It! Made a moved at 4.45pm, they were only just setting up the buffet area. Waited for 15 minutes for the one and only bus - 859. I think if 804/806 also took this long to arrive, the bus company's office would have been flooded with complain letters.
Met N at Cityhall, boy was it crowded. There was NDP preview rehearsal at Padang. Some of the roads was blocked for the occassion. Our purpose of going there was to find the cheap optical shop. We finally found it at Peninsular Shopping Center. This is the first time I been there! Didn't realized there are so many shops at the basement. The frame that I KIV only cost $12!! Freaking cheap. We were overwhelm with choices. Decided to come back again next Fri with L. Dinner at Mos Burger was pretty standard for the 2 of us, especially if we were at Cityhall. Shopped around for a while before we called it a day.
