Didn’t blog for the past few days. Wanted to but became lazy. Dearie was supposed to go for his RT on Wed but end up, he met me instead. We went to Boon Lay and spent our evening at Jurong Point. Heard that the new extension was open already and didn’t have a chance to go and take a look at the place. Dearie was asking me to think of where to go and I thot… why not go Jurong Point and take a look? He has lessons on Thurs and the place is near to his place also… Dun wan my Dearie to be too tired since next day got class.
The place was big! Kinda like another Vivocity. When we reached the place, we decided to go for dinner first. Couldn’t decide on what to eat and was looking at the directory of the place. They have quite a lot of food places at the new extension itself. We decided to settle for Old Town instead. Tried the place before @ Bukit Timah area with Jayne and Albert before. Dearie missed the nasi lemak and had craving for it. Headed over and well… service was so so only. Had to wait a while to be served. There were staff around but they didn’t come to serve us promptly. Some could see us but they opt to be doing other things rather than coming to show us to our seats. Funny staff.
Anyway, Dearie ate his nasi lemak while I tried their nasi rendang. It was stated as recommended dish on the menu. Not bad… quite nice… a lot of gravy on the chicken meat. Took some pics. Pardon me if the food dun look that appealing ya. :P
After dinner, went around shopping. The NTUC over there opens 24 hours and could see families going shopping for CNY goodies after their dinner. Dearie bought a HP to be used during his RT and reservist. Quite cheap and a good deal cos no need to sign plan and the phone was abt $90. SAmsung model… quite light also. The package came with free earpiece too. :)
Continued walking around and went to OP. Bought Dearie some CNY clothes. Wan him to look nice nice for CNY ma. Hehe… I also bought some taiwan mua chee and jellies for his family. Wanted to get things from John Little but the place was filled with people. Queues super long at the cashiers! Gave up the idea and went walk walk a while more before calling it a day and headed home.
Met Shan on Thursday. She came back from her honeymoon already. Had dinner @ Coffee Club @ Siglap. Talked abt her marriage life and was glad that she is happily married. Could see her glowing with happiness. Happy for her! Afterwich, went to meet her hubby and gone along with them to pass some CNY goodies to their relatives and Shan’s parents. Was talking to Shan’s Dad abt the Budget 2009 and also some of their staffing matters. Reached home at abt 11+. It was definitely nice to see Shan again and I am looking forward to be able to see her more!
Friday… went to catch a movie with Dearie, Sharon and Joseph. Went to Cathay to watch “Ink Heart”. Nice and touching movie. Some said the movie is not nice but IMO, it’s not that bad as what they claimed. Worth the watch!
After the movie, we went to Geylang to eat our late dinner cum supper. Had Dim sum at Ho Kee Pau. Sharon and Joseph wanted to bring us to another stall but it was closed for CNY. Heard that it’s very nice. Well… perhaps could try it next time ba. After the makan, both of them gave me and Dearie a ride back. I stayed over at Dearie’s place that night.
Today… after waiting for Dearie to finish helping out on the housework, we went out to a few places with Robin, Dearie’s 2nd bro. He wanted to do specs and so we brought him to the shop @ Queensway shopping centre. I know the lady boss there and have been doing specs and buying contact lens from her many times. Both Dearie and myself have different tastes and opinions and Robin couldn’t decide on which frame to pick. We came to a consensus on one and Robin has to wait for a week plus due to CNY.
After that, we headed over to PS. There wasn’t much people on the road. I wondered where have all the people gone to. Had our dinner @ Swensens and went walking around. Robin bought some CNY clothings and Dearie also got 1 new top. He didn’t want to get one but … haha… he didn’t have much choice. Mother had bought a shirt for Robin but he couldn’t fit into it. Had to go for exchange and the top that Robin picked… value was below and we had to get another clothing to make up the difference. Robin couldn’t set his eyes on other clothes and told Dearie to get instead. I helped to pick the shirt! hehe… :P
Robin sent us home and I have Dearie sleeping while I am here blogging online. I think I am not making any sense in my blogging liao. Dunno what I am typing. Hmm… I not that tired yet but with Dearie sleeping beside me, he is making me sleepy lor. Tomorrow is CNY eve le. Dearie will be having dinner at my place before heading home. My bro’s daughter, AKA my niece, Seraphina, will be coming over to makan with us. It will be the first time that Dearie will be seeing her. So fast… she is going to be 4 this year. Took some pics of her abt a week plus ago when she came over. Dun she look like my bro?
