Rest first

Today, its my last day to rest before going back to work tomorrow. Spent few hours clearing emails and seems like today's emails are exceptional more in volume.

Watched a few episodes of J-dramas and still have quite a few to complete. Doubt I can finish all backlogs by today. Shall take my time to clear slowly.

So sad... Back to work tomorrow.

At home

We unpacked our luggages last night. Today, continued with our clothes washing. 5 persons clothing were a lot uh. No place to hang liao.

Whole afternoon, I was clearing my office emails. Wanted to clear them so that I know whats going on and can continue with my work when I am back in office on Tuesday.

Had dinner at Sushi Tei @ Tampines One. We wanted to try one more time. See if the standard is back to previous. So far so good lah. The sashimi slices were not so thin like the one I ate on my previous trip.

Shopped for a while after dinner and went home. My dad went to collect durians. The uncle called my dad and said there were good durians.

One more day to rest before going back to reality on Tuesday.

End of holiday

We had some free n easy time till 12noon before we took coach to airport.

Went to Sogo again and bought some goodies from the supermarket. The main mall opened at 11am. Very late hor... In the end, we left 30mins to shop around. My sis did not buy anything yet hence wanted to find some shoes. We zoomed in to the shoes area once the store opened. As we were very early waiting for the store to open, we managed to see those staff greeting at the door. Was so surprised to see 2 lady serving some drinks to shoppers waiting near the door before 11am. Japanese company really do differently to attract people. This is the culture I like and thus still want to go back to Japan. :P

In 20mins, we bought 5 pairs of shoes. 2 for me. 2 for my sis and 1 for my mum. My brother had no time to look slowly and in the end did not buy any. We took cabs back to hotel and was on time to meet the rest before 12 noon. After that, we headed to airport.

For this trip, the hotels are all very good. Food wise, eee... not too good as the standard is like that lah. The tour guide said no matter you joined which travel agency, you are eating similar meals. Tour guide wise, is good. He gave us a lot of information on the history of the places we visited and also gave us a lot of health tips/advices. This trip is like a health talk trip. However, all his talk all linked to the places we were visiting lah. Just that, the information he gave us made us find more worth to buy the products.

I will have 2 days to rest before starting work. Shall sleep till very very late tomorrow uh.

Back to Taipei

Woke up super early today and had a rushed breakfast. The breakfast started at 6.30pm and we had to finish eating by 6.55am in order to be on time to board the coach.

Initial plan was we would travel by train back to Taipei and coach would travel by highway to Taipei with our luggages. However, the news reported that due to recent landslide that damage part of the highway road (only road back to Taipei from Hualien), we had to carry our own luggages and board the train back to Taipei. The coach has to stay in Hualien for few days until the temporary road is ready. There is a need to dig another road as the old road was completely damaged (a portion almost all gone).

We were so lucky that we are not planning to travel by road back to Taipei. Earlier on when we booked the tour package, we were told that it would be faster to take train than travel by road. Actually, it is a compulsory act to safeguard tourist safety. There are frequent earthquakes and landslides are common. We hope that no one is injured on this recent landslide. Wanted to watch the news on this report but maybe timing no good. We had no chance to watch it.

The train seats were very narrowed and we had to "squeeze" our big luggages in between the seats. There was no luggage holding area. Luckily, we only took a short distance and alighted at the 3rd stops. The travelling time is 1 hour.

Today's 1st itinerary was to have lunch at Taipei 101 85th floor restaurant. ASA is the only travel agency that the restaurant accepted to serve tour group. For time being, no other agencies has this in their itineraries. As we were just given 2 hours to have lunch + shopping, by the time we finished our lunch (fine dining but quite fast serving), we left 45mins to walk around the shopping mall. Did not buy anything again.




Next, we stopped to buy pineapple tarts from their famous store (No 1 pineapple tarts awarded for 5 consecutive years). We bought some other items and made it to store in a box for easier check in. No need to stuff in our luggages. Good lei.

After that, we went to Ximending (西门町) for shopping. Was just given 1 1/2 hr and we only walked around and bought some of their local food to munch. Stopped at a store selling socks and we each bought a few pairs. Made in Taiwan so should be safe lah.

After that, we were sent to hotel and the night is free and easy. Our hotel is quite near Sogo so we walked about 15mins and reached the mall. Had a good dinner at 鼎泰奉. This is the store that has good standard. Standard dropped for the few branches in Singapore. Origin still the best. By the time we finished our dinner, it was quite late hence we walked to a 24 hour bookshop. Walked the wrong way and took addition time to reach there. Found 3 of the recommended books by our tour guide. Books in Taipei are cheap. The 3 books cost NT$810 only which is about S$7 averagely. Wanted to buy one more but could not find it.

So fast, tomorrow we are going back to Singapore.

Long journey

This morning, we had a long travelling to Hualien (花莲). A place with lots of earthquakes.

4 hours of travelling and I slept during the trip as there was nothing to do. Our tour guide is good as he talked a lot on health topics that kept most of us listening to his talk. He gave quite a lot of info as he is a researcher on chinese medicine. He told us.... If you are drinking mike, STOP IMMEDIATELY! He said that milk is not giving us any good to our health and will harm us. He recommended few books for us to read and said that many people want to buy books from Taiwan as only Taiwan dares to publish the truth. We will try to find the books and buy for reading. Hee hee... I can have excuse not to drink milk liao.

When we reached Hualien, we visited Taroko Gorge first. We walked to the waterfall with spring water. Our tour guide told us the origin of this place and it made the trip not so boring.

Next we went to Lingzhi center. Same thing, attended a talk and though we told ourselves that we would not buy any products, in the end bought the lingzhi tablets and royal jelly. Cost us a bomb. However, it is for health care. So ok lah. Heart a bit pain... but home these products can bring us good health and nice complexion. The lingzhi tablets are actually for my parents to lower down their cholesterol and high blood. I intent to eat too to see if it can lower my bolder line high blood pressure.

After buying, I am still wondering now whether we bought it because of the usefulness of the products or are our minds waiver due to the persuasion by the staff???

Tonight's hotel room is a simple one as we are now at a ulu countryside. Had to sleep earlier as tomorrow, we have to leave the hotel by 7am. It will be another long journey back to Taipei.

Long journey

After breakfast, we travelled to Taitung (台东). Today's itinerary was to visit 佛光寺 and a shop selling pearls.

Had quite a long walk at the temple and the sky turned a bit dark when it was near to the end of the tour. Luckily no rain. Else it would be troublesome.

Attended a talk at the pearl shop. It was mentioned that Taiwan's pearls were the best. Even Michelle Obama likes them. Many of our tour members bought edible pearls and grinded to powder form. We did not buy that but bought a pearl necklace and pair of earrings for her. She longing for one and this made her so happy.

Tonight, we are staying at a hotspring hotel. It is a modern hotel with hotspring water available in every room. We can have private hotspring bath. I did not have a hotspring bath but my sis and I had a hotspring foot bath.

Drums play

Today, the itinerary was not so pack. We could wake up a bit later.

After breakfast, we proceeded to Ten Drum Culture Village at Tainan (台南). We toured around the compound and tried playing the drums. Was taught how to play and we had a competition to see which group played the best. Enjoyed it but after that, we were all sweating. Today, the weather was super hot.

We watched a 30mins drum show (luckily was indoor) played by the members and it was very good show. They played so well and we enjoyed it.

Before dinner, we were dropped at 安平古堡 for a short tour and ate the local famous 棺材板. We just bought 2 small ones to try as we were going for dinner soon. Also tried their famous prawn fritters. They were very good.

Had diner and went straight to hotel. Arrived hotel quite early and hence had more time to laze around.

Hot hot day

Woke up and found giraffes and zebras outside window. The room was facing these animals so that guests could viewed them at close distance. It's the main attraction for this hotel. Our room was upgraded to 2 storey room for 6 pax. So lucky.

Went to Leofoo theme park. Nothing much as it's Monday and many rides were under maintenance. There were student tour today. Otherwise the park would be very quiet. No queue but many rides, I dared not try. Should know what I meant lah.

Travelled to Sun Moon lake for a cruise plus visit a temple that was rebuilt after the 921 earthquarke. Ate the popular Ah Ma tea egg. Very nice uh.

Visit Feng Jia night market for shopping. Finally bought something. 2 small wall lamps and one windbreaker from Addidas.

After that, headed back to hotel.

Arrived Taipei

Reached Taipei yesterday afternoon but due to SQ flight tour members arrived 2 hours later than us, we were sent to Tai Mall which was near to airport for shopping. Nothing to buy and just went for drinks. At night, we went to the famous Shilin night market for dinner. Had XXL chicken cutlet, oyster pancake, big biscuit wrapped w small biscuit, smelly tou fu and fried squid. Headed back to hotel quite late yesterday night.

Today, we went to Dan Shui in the morning for a short walk. Nothing much and just tried the long ice-cream. After that, we proceeded to Jiu Fen and had lunch there. Tried their local dish (fishball soup). Bought some goodies back. Their peanuts are famous. In the afternoon, we proceeded to Yeliu to watch the mysterious rocks. Queen's head rock, slipper etc are the popular ones.

Night time, we proceeded to Leofoo Village for a night stay. The resort has animals waiting for you. :)

At T1

Finally its the day!

Reached T1 at 8.15am and settled check-in by 8.40am. Went for breakfast at Wang cafe and now shall proceed to gate. A bit early but at least no need to rush. Gate opens at 9.45am.

Shall enjoy this trip. Waiting for a good break.

Holiday mood

Finally it's Friday! Tomorrow I am flying to Taipei for my holiday with my parents, younger sis and bro.

The weather also made me felt so sleepy and wished today no need to go to work like my sis. She is taking block leave which starts today.

Completed my work and instead of watching movie (which I can't), we went for dinner at Koufu food court near Commonwealth MRT station. Our colleague gave us a lift there. We shared fried kway tiao and fried prawn noodles. Complete the meal with ice-kacang. They were good. For the fried kway tiao and fried prawn noodles, the stall will be closed down after today. Glad that we managed to eat one last time.

Getting ready for tomorrow! First trip to Taiwan.

Back

Today, 小珠 is back in office. So fast that 14 days passed.

She was back with big bags of goodies for us to eat. A bit tanned but looking great after a good break (although she is having jetlag and feeling very sleepy).

This is a gift from her. At first, I thought she bought a bottle of wine for me. A closer look, it is a bottle of maple syrup. Can eat with pancakes or waffles. Yummy...



Came home very late after clearing my work. Had done my handover list and I can pass to my colleagues tomorrow. Yippy! One more day to go...

Cup of Latte

This morning, met up with my financial planner to discuss about buying mortgage loan insurance. When I reached Starbucks, saw that she bought coffee for me. Oh dear! I don't drink coffee but so pai sei to reject since she already bought, so tried to take little sips in order to prevent myself ended up with stomachache.

The cup of latte was rather nice. No need to put too much sugar and the coffee taste not so strong. After telling my colleague then realised latte is full of milk uh. I did not finish the whole cup. Managed to drink about half. Luckily "nothing" happened to me. :)

Tomorrow 小珠 will be back in office. So fast uh... 14 days gone and her trip ended. Next will be mine. I still have a lot of things to clear and to prepare handover list to my colleagues so that they can follow up outstanding issues with my customers.

Pray hard that I can finish the list by tomorrow. Friday cannot go back late. I still yet to pack my luggage.

3 days to go

3 more days and I can finally give myself a break.

As usual, worked and worked the whole day without stopping. Ta bao work back again since I could follow my colleague's car home. Managed to clear some work before leaving office at 8.15pm. Reached home to continue the rest.

Tomorrow and the rest of the week will be busy week. Wish me good luck to be able to squeeze more time out to complete all tasks before going on leave.

Busy busy busy

First day of coverage for my colleague. Was in a mess as I had to handle my customers stuff and no time to do paperwork.

Need to go back early to meet the banker to sign letter of offer. Did same thing again... ta bao work home to do. Otherwise, tomorrow will be jammed up again.

Its ok... will be able to cope slowly. Need to prepare my handover list for my colleagues to cover me when I am on leave. Counting down....

Found it finally!

Our trip is on coming Saturday morning. High chance is that I will work late coming week as my colleague is on leave for 3 days and I need to cover her work. Need to clear as much work as possible so that I can go for my leave without worries.

Started to pack some of my clothing and bring down my luggage from cupboard top. Was hoping that I can find the pullover that bought from National Geographic. I wore once for Hokkaido trip and could not find it when I wanted to bring along for my Switzerland trip in April this year.

Strange that it just disappeared. My mum asked if I had accidentally thrown it away which I confirmed no. I even called my elder sister whether it was with her.

Finally... when I was clearing one of the luggage which will let my brother use, I found it. It was packed together with my mum and dad cold wears. Ai Yoh... must be my sister who thought it belongs to my mum or dad. Made me feel so sad when I could not find it.

Glad that I found it. :)

Haircut

Woke up and got ready for my haircut at 2pm. Finally I can have neat look. Was on time today and due to no other booking, my hairstylist attended to me exclusively today and I managed to finish my haircut within an hour. So good...

After the haircut, I decided to go to Raffles City to buy 2012 datebook from NBC store. Managed to get a cut baby minnie and mickey datebook.

Took train to Bugis BHG and bought travel storage bag from Muji. Think and think... decided to buy lah. Not cheap uh. Tried to find cheaper version at Daiso but could not find. No choice lah.

Forgot that we yet to buy travel size toothpaste. Therefore, went to Fairprice supermarket to buy some travel necessities. Went home with 2 big bags and like an auntie finishing marketing. Ha ha...

My sister not coming home tonight as she is staying at Ritz Carlton. To celebrate birthday for her good friend.

Too lazy to start my office leftover work. Shall do it tomorrow lah.

Circle Line

Today, its my first time riding train home via Circle line. All my colleagues not working late today hence I decided to bring my work home and hence left office at 8.50pm.

Since its still early, I decided to try taking train from Labrador station to Buona Vista station and change to East West line home. The walk from office building to the station took 10mins. In fact, it was the waiting time for traffic lights.

The train station was very quiet as most people already left office by this time. Was lucky that the train arrived just when I got to the platform. Managed to get a seat and took the ride to Buona Vista station.

It was strange that the waiting time at Buona Vista for train to Pasir Ris took 6 mins. The next train was also another 6 mins which I decided to get in and just stand till I could get a seat.

It took me 1hr 40mins to reach home. Not much earlier compared to usual route of taking bus to Queenstown station. It also very hot while waiting for train at Buona Vista station. Was it due to my walking too fast or the weather too hot???

Anyway, its my first trip of riding train on Circle line since it opened on 8 Oct. Good try.

Badminton

This afternoon, I went with my colleagues to Hyatt hotel to play badminton with one of our customer. He booked a court at 12 - 1pm but we ended up reaching at 12.30pm. Luckily there was no one booking the 1pm slot hence they were able to continue with their game. I did not join in as I knew I did not have stamina. Don't want a scene of a ball rolling here and there. Hahaha.

After their game, we ate at the poolside cafe. There was no air-conditioning but luckily not too hot as there were ceiling fans. The food was very nice and really thumbs up. They were better than the food served in Straits Kitchen. Price was reasonable too.

I managed to leave office at 7.30pm and followed my colleague to Bedok MRT station. She could not send me home as she had dinner appointment. Reached home at about 8.50pm. Strange.... still need 1hr 20mins. It was the feeder bus fault. Missed one bus and had to wait for so long.

Very tired today. MUST sleep earlier!

Badminton court - air conditioned

Eyes cannot open

Slept too late for the past nights and the effect is here. My eyes cannot open widely and kept feeling sleepy during the day.

Left office earlier tonight at 8pm. Need to reach home by 10pm as I was meeting UOB banker on the housing loan.

The banker was rather good and explained in detailed of the few options. Will compare with DBS banker again to decide which plan to take.

In fact, while he was talking, my eyes actually wanted to close. I tried to open wide wide uh. So coincidence that one of my customer is actually his brother-in-law.

I think I need to sleep earlier tonight. Otherwise, tomorrow can only see 2 small lines on my face (eyes cannot open liao).

Super tired

It rained again this morning. Made me felt so sleepy with the cold weather. How I wish that it is Saturday today. My wishful thinking.

Quite busy today. Boss called for a meeting to plan our leaves. Year end is approaching and we need to clear our leaves. Some of my colleagues were being asked to take longer leaves instead of just few days. Boss worried that next year will be a problem if everyone carries forward their leaves.

I have least priority as have planned for 2 holidays this year (going off next Saturday). With Nov and Dec days taken by other colleagues, no days left for me. Therefore, boss asked me to take in January before chinese new year. Thought of taking the week before new year but cannot because I need to plan for lo hei with customers. So... will be end week of January. Not sure what to do during this period.

So fast... tomorrow is mid week liao. Looking forward to Saturday. I had booked haircut appointment. My hair very messy and I need to make it nicer when I go for holiday. Seems like I have a lot of things to clear before I go for my holiday.

Bad day

A very bad day for me. My pc gave me problem since morning. Unable to log in program. Followed by Yahoo cannot work properly as others were seeing me as offline where I was actually online. Next, one of my excel file corrupted and could not retrieve the data.

Cannot tahan. Must sent my pc to diagnose if any "sickness". Cannot take its "heart attack" uh.

In the end, left a lot of backlogs and need to clear after office hour. Left office at 10 plus. Hopefully tomorrow can go back early.

Sleepless night

Last night, I could not sleep and kept waking up. Too excited? It did not appear that I was that excited but did not know why I still had a sleepless night. Luckily today is Sunday and no need to work.

To celebrate my elder sister birthday, we went to Shin Minori @ UE Square. It's ala carte japanese buffet. The place was not too big. Food wise quite good except that the waiter mixed up our orders and we had to wait for quite a long time for the food to be served. When we asked why it took so long, one of the waitress said due to we ordered small portion, need to wait. We asked her to cancel all the orders and we would re-take. In the end, we were served with the double portion. OMG!

After the dinner, we went to Meidi-ya to buy ice-cream. I zoomed in to buy the Dole fruity ice-cream and found something I was so excited. My beloved C.C Lemon in big bottle. It cost $8.40 uh. No choice... buy uh!

This was how I spent my Sunday. Tomorrow back to work again.

Big decision made

This afternoon, I went to my cousin's house for her celebration of giving birth to a baby boy. Our agenda for the day was to go there first at around 1 pm and followed by viewing houses after that.

The first viewing was at Jalan Bukit Merah at 2 - 2.30pm and followed by Serangoon at 4pm. We went for the first viewing and although its nearer to my work place and its a corner unit, the surrounding and the unit did not make us comfortable. My aunt did not recommend that unit and said she just wanna bring me around to see different layout units. Its a 3I unit and may not be easy to sell off in future. New generations do not like separate bathroom and toilet.

Next we went to Chinatown to make balance payment for our Taiwan trip since it was still early. We collected one of the free luggage and a watch. There are 2 colours for the luggage and saw a lot of people carrying out the green ones. Heard there were no more stock for pink ones. The one we collected was for my aunt (we are entitled for 2 pcs). We will collect ours later (actually should collect as my uncle drove us around today and sent us back). So surprised that when we got the luggage, it was a pink one. So lucky... We didn't ask for it (others did) and we got it! When we carried it out of the travel agency, everyone who was carrying the green ones were staring at us. We hurriedly zoomed all the way out...

Went for 2nd viewing at Serangoon Ave 4. I thought it would be just another fast viewing but it led to my big and bold decision to buy the unit. It is an unit at 6th floor. My aunt said this one may not be suitable as it is not a corner unit (I kept stressing I want corner unit for privacy) so we thought just view for fun and experience. We met up with the co-broke agent. He was so blurred to bring us up to the 5th floor.

When we walked up the the 6th floor and saw the unit, I kind of like the layout. Its a corridor unit but the window is higher and people can't peak in when walking pass. Need to walk up a few steps before entering the house. The door is face to face to another unit. Total only about 5 - 6 units per floor. Not complicated and the walkway is spacious.

Once I entered the house, I felt so comfortable. The layout is nice and after walking around, felt quite like it. My aunt told us not to show our interest during the viewing. To tell her only after we left the house. So we just walked around and mentioned nothing. Just asked basic info like any afternoon sun etc. The unit was renovated and there is not much renovation needed. Valuation was $325k and asking for 40k cash. Owner did not agree for an offer of 37k by earlier viewer.

We went downstairs and my aunt asked me how was it. I told her environment was quite good and I was feeling comfortable with the unit. She also said she liked it and mentioned that if I really like it, dun take time to consider too much as it will be grabbed by others if this unit goes into the market. I said ok and she calculated the sum of money I required to purchase this house. I agreed with the 40k and the owner accepted. My aunt said that 40k was high but considering I need not renovate the flooring, windows, gate etc, it was ok.

I made the decision to BUY. After doing sales, I kind of knowing the importance of timing. Sharp and go.... Done deal! Paid deposit and it will be mine by end of the year.

The location is not near to MRT which I plan for but it is still within walking distance (abt 15 - 20mins slow walk). Many buses from Serangoon mrt to the block. So waiting time is not as bad as what I am experiencing now (sometime took 20mins to wait for a feeder bus to my current home). Near to NEX. Coffee shops and shops within walking distance (not around the block but a 7 - 10mins walk). It is more peaceful without coffee shops around the block. Its a choice between peace or convenient. LOL.

Finally, made this decision. Told my dad. Though not much comments from him but I think he is ok lah. He knew I was looking for a house but maybe he did not think that I will decide it so soon. Shall tell my elder sister tomorrow when we had dinner at UE Square to celebrate her birthday in advance.

Kind of feeling peaceful from the time I stepped into the unit and signed the option form. Perhaps it is fated for me to get this house. If I said no to my aunt for the viewing that its not near working place, I would not have a chance to find this little unit. :)

Had dinner at The Ship @ NEX. My treat to my aunt and uncle. My aunt helped me get this house. My uncle chauffeuring us around for whole day. My cousin so happy to have the dinner which came with ice-cream. Not many occasions to give them treat so I must do so today.

Oh yah... Today marked the first day of opening of Circle line stations from Harbourfront to Dhoby Ghaut.

Brunch cooked by mum


Dinner at The Ship@NEX

Tired after anxiety

My favourite day comes!!!

Today, our lunch kaki all had own program. Left snow princess and me to have lunch together. She wanted to buy a toy for her son as today is Children's Day. I wanted to buy lotion from Crabtree for my mum. Therefore, we took our colleague's car to VivoCity. 2 of them went for customer lunch and 2 of us had lunch ourselves.

We decided to reward ourselves and went to Akashi Japanese restaurant for lunch. Had the set lunch and we were so satisfied. I bought body lotion for my mine finally. She waited for so long. By the time we were back in office, it was already 3.15pm. Luckily boss didn't ask why we were so late.

This evening was chaotic. I was so anxious to close a big deal. It really made me so nervous and when I finally closed the deal, I was so shacked and perspiring (no aircon after 6pm). Glad that I could get this deal. Otherwise, I have to "eat wind" for next 3 mths liao.

Tomorrow, need to wake up early as it's my cousin's son 1 month old celebration. Better sleep early.

Lunch set at Akashi Japanese restaurant

小珠 travelling

So good... 小珠 has started her holiday trip to East USA and Canada. We left office very late yesterday and she tried to clear as much work as possible. By the time she reached home, she had not much time to sleep and her intention was not to sleep and stayed awake until she board plane to sleep all the way to Narita airport + final destination > USA.

I reached home rather early today as my colleague drove me home. Da pao my work home to do. Since I am taking my colleague's car tomorrow to work, I can bring home my laptop to finish my work. At least I need not go back on my own. :)

So good that its Friday again tomorrow. However, no movies for me this whole month. By the time 小珠 is back, it's my turn to go for my holiday to Taiwan. Looking forward to the break.

Nice lunch

This afternoon, we went to East Coast Road to have the popular hokkien mee. 2nd visit and I like the noodles. My boss ordered 2 big plates with additional fried oyster pancake and fried carrot cake. They were super good. Next time, can go with my mum. When I told her about the location, she said she knew the prawn noodles shop that was near to this hokkien mee stall.

Ben and Jerry's

Today, our company had an ice-cream party at 3 - 5pm. 5 flavors of ice-cream from Ben & Jerry's.

I had 2 cups (4 scoops) and felt so guilty after eating. So full...

This event was to celebrate our good performance for last financial year. Hope more to come. :)

Was too busy eating until forgot to take a picture.

Hot Monday

It was so hot today. Started the week with super the hot weather.

Was quite busy today and ended up did not do things that I planned to do. Hopefully can clear some tomorrow.

Left office late and hence left not much time to do my own stuff. Looking forward to go home earlier from tomorrow onwards.

Watched 2nd series of Hunter X Hunter. The story restarts from beginning. Not too sure if there will be any surprises for us. Hope it won't be 100% replicated.

Today is our 18th anniversary to stay in this house.

A short shopping trip

This evening, we had early dinner and went to Tampines Mall. My brother in law wanted to buy a new handphone so we went together with him. He bought the new Samsung Galaxy 2 after deciding between this and HTC sensation.

My niece wanted to buy some pens at Popular bookshop. I ended up buying some stationery too.

We had a cup of Haagen Dazs ice-cream before heading home. In fact, my niece was looking for a pair of new track shoe but could not find one that she likes. Therefore, her dad said will bring her to Queensway shopping centre to find again.

There goes my Sunday. Tomorrow back to work again. So fast.

Shopping

Woke up rather early today at 10am. Went to Bugis at about 1pm. Before we had our lunch, went to the temple for prayer. Did not go there since few months ago. Need to pray for good health and to be good in everything I do.

Had wantan noodle at Sunshine Plaza. First time there for my sister and she liked the food. Nice and the price is reasonable. After lunch, my spending power was up to the max. Started with buying travelling things at OG, followed by a pair of shoe at BHG plus buying travelling things for my brother and dad. After that, buy socks etc... Ai yoh, shopping = spending a lot of money uh. Cannot go shopping frequently. This is a taboo!

We decided to have dinner at Seoul Garden. However, it was full booked at the Bugis Junction branch. We was craving for it hence decided to try the branch at Tampines Mall. Luckily, we managed to get a table and we zoomed to Tampines by taking train. Reached there at 6.35pm and started our buffet dinner. We took the food bit by bit and enjoyed them slowly. The choices were not a lot but still sufficient for us to eat till we were full. It had been many many years since I last ate at Seoul Garden. Didn't know that it was still so popular.
