What did we do? Let me try to recall...
Saturday... (24 Nov)
Darling had a test in the morning thus he went out early in the morning, while I was still pigging away on his bed. Woke up at about 9am, started watching tv, then went out his mum showed me all the stuff she brought from Hong Kong and Macau as she just came back the night before. Passed me a watch, which I actually asked her to get for me. I just told her to get me any watch because I am still upset that my Esprit Watch has given up on me. I have yet to source for somewhere which could actually repair it. Hai... I am so sad. If anyone of you wants to get me a gift, get me a watch. I am desperately in need of nice watches, need not be branded, just pretty looking will do. The watch she bought me was so-so. I do not love it exceptionally, but really thanked her for the effort in helping me find a watch. She also passed me many tidbits. Hee and of course the famous lao po bing.
Then at about 11, it's time for me to head out to meet my Darling. We met at Tiong Bahru and drove from there to Vivocity. Reason for going Vivocity was actually to get his slippers as well as have lunch at Dian Xiao Er. Yes! Twice in a week. I just wanted to bring him there to share good food with him. Indeed he fell in love with the double boiled chicken soup and the herbal duck. Super yummy! He says he will want to go back again. So happy and glad that I brought him there. After lunch, we walked around to source for his slippers. Went into Addidas, did not manage to catch any to his liking. So headed to Crocs. Our main purpose on that day was to go to Crocs, cos' he saw and tried my brother's slippers from Crocs and he felt that it's pretty comfy. So we went there, looked at all the colours available and finally he chose an army green with orange base slippers. Good choice Darling! They look so pretty. Hee and bought 2 ibbits for my mum. By the way, ibbits are those decorations which you can clip onto your Crocs. She bought 2 for me the other time and didn't bear to buy any for herself cos' they aren't cheap. This time round, we bought her two! Hee.
After getting the slippers, we walked around jewellery shops to source for pretty wedding bands, which will be worn on our fingers till the day we both die. We saw a very nice pair at Tian Po Jewellery and it's going to cost us about $2500. Took the brochure and left. I told him I wanted to get that pair! Hee... He's agreeable too. That's good! Then we went to Pacific Coffee Company for coffee as he wanted the maple latte. Upon reaching there, it was so crowded. So we went to Haagen Dazs instead. We rested our tired feet, looking at brochures we gotten from the shops etc, talked a bit, did some photo taking and of course ate their ice cream and had a latte. The latte wasn't fantastic, ice cream was overrated as well. But anyway, we are just glad we had some place to rest our feet.
We had one scoop of Coffee and one scoop of Rum & Raisin.
Our latte...
He took this and said... Baby you look so tired with your small eyes! Haha...
He was testing out the photo taking functions in my W910i. Well, the pictures aren't fantastically clear but with a 2MP, what can you expect? And he says... Baby, you looked like you are in some 80s restaurant eating ice cream. Haha...
More shots taken by him. Loves it when he does this cos' I get his attention. Wahaha. Afterall, we have already been together for almost 9yrs, I am just glad that we did not get tired of each other and best of all, we are proceeding onto our next chapter in life. We talked mostly about our wedding, all the plannings and stuff, as well as a house and maybe a car if I strike big sweep. Lol. And also on babies, like how many, when to start. Can we afford?
I love this pic... looks so artistic...And I had to take something of him too! Haha... Here's the one and only one pic I took. bleahz!
And I have been complaining we don't take pictures together anymore. Always one person in the pic... Feels so lonely... And he said, after exams, we can go take pictures! YAY!After our high tea at Haagen Dazs, we proceeded to have my Vivocity membership card done. Vivocity is just so great, you can turn your spendings into Car Park Redemption. I am so happy and have since become a Vivocity fan! I told darling next time if I want to buy something, must help me check whether Vivocity has this store. Cos I want to come to Vivocity to get free parking. Haha... every $50 spent is converted to $1 worth of parking. That's fantastic man! Hee... Since then I love Vivocity and I so look forward to the letter from HDB. God, please bless me with it man!
And off we headed home feeling so tired after a few hours of walking to and fro, looking at things that ranges from clothes, to toys, to computers. Hee. And I told Darling I will get him a Mac if my bonus (which is to be announced in Mar 2008) exceeds a certain amount. Erm, shant disclose the amount here, cos if I buy it, you all will know how much bonus I get and it's supposed to be confidential eh. LOL.
Went home, wanted to take a nap but end up, I keep talking to Darling about everything and anything and he can't sleep haha. Cos I hate it if I talk to him and he falls asleep. He's so nice to not fall asleep haha. Must have been tough on you, my dear!
Sunday (25 Nov)
It has been agreed upon last night that I wanted to go to IMM. I had to go there to get some stuff. We woke up in the late morning and cabbed to IMM. Thank God I did not drive because they have started to charge for parking! Firstly, we went for brunch, was famished, had to fill the growling stomachs before we can proceed to complete our shopping list!
We had our brunch at this Hong Kong cafe on level 1 just beside Coffee Club. I din manage to catch the name. Anyway, I tried the one outside Daiso vs. this one beside Coffee Club, I personally prefer the one beside Coffee Club more. It was so yummy! Oh, probably I was too hungry huh. Anyway, had a splendid lunch. I wan2 go back there again!!! We waited a short while before we were shown to our seats and we looked through the menu and placed our order.
After ordering, we waited another short while before we were served our food... Meanwhile, photo taking time!
Checking out the ambience, nothing fantastic!
The man who has spent his weekends all with me... I m so blessed to have him.
Me...
Our order... Soon we were served our drinks...
His...
Hers... i.e. mine la! LOL.
/me pouts. Why my food so long haven't come?! I am hungry!!! Grrrr.....
He never fails to make me smile...
He sure never fails...And our food finally arrived...
His fried udon with seafood, very yummy!
My claypot stewed ee fu noodles with chicken and mushroom. Extremely yummy!
Our fried prawn dumplings... highly recommended.
His chicken feet... He exclaims that Excelsior Hotel still serves the best chicken feet.
Lastly, meatless guo tie. I din know it's going to all be filled with vege until the guo tie arrived and I took a bite. no meat, so disappointing. I still prefer Dover Market's as well as Asian Kitchen's!Upon filling our stomachs, the happy 2 of us, started to shop! Went to buy my home's office chairs cos' we have lived without chairs beside our study table for almost 4 months. Mummy has been urging me to go get them as she doesn't have the time. Bought 3 chairs, amounted up to $700+. Then went to Best Denki. Darling was supposed to get some stuff for my parents as "house-warming" gifts, although we did not have any house warming till now la. He bought the oven toaster and deep fryer, requested by me and my brothers la. And I bought my parents one of those you used to buy water in hotels. This is so that the water can be boiled in seconds to make her coffee and milk everyday. Spent another $200+.
Subsequently, we went to Coffee Club for our high tea or so to speak. Ordered Mango Tango Freeze and Rambutan Freeze. I feel that the mango tango isn't as great as before anymore. Is it because this isn't the mango season or what?
Very pretty colours. I studied at Coffee Club for about an hour and went to queue to redeem my wrapping papers and gift tags. And then, hurriedly called mum to see if she was on her way back and she could drop by to pick us up. Had a wonderful day out with Darling but I conclude that we cannot do this often, as it is straining our wallets. Haha. Each meal and each high tea always amount up to more than $20. High cost of living in Singapore. I pray hard that I will have a salary increment next year! Hee...More spendings on Christmas gifts to come... Time to save a bit! So far, I have only bought one on my list of to-buys. OmG! So many more to come... how sia?!
