Long Weekend!
It was a long weekend for me last week.
Friday
I took my off in lieu for National Day on Friday, and went on a shopping spree. Taking a day off on a work day to shop was something that I had been looking forward to for months. So finally, I did it!
I started off the day with Macdonald's breakfast before hitting town, and Pete surprised me by dropping by to join me for the breakfast before going to work. A sausage mcmuffin and tea cost only $2 on a weekday. The first good buy for the day!
After getting my brows trimmed when I reached town, I started my expedition of Orchard with Far East Plaza. Spent more than 2 hours in there, and my lower back was aching by the time I stepped out. Sigh...I guess I am a part of this country's aging population, and as "lao lang" as Pete is :P
Not forgetting I had a mission to buy a white dress for my cousin's upcoming wedding, I pressed on. By 7pm, the total damage was $350, which I think was not too bad for a full day shopping trip! I was not able to go beyond Ngee Ann City, even if I was not meeting Pete for dinner. My back was almost breaking, and my legs were aching too. Just a few years back, I was able to shop in Bangkok from 11am to 11pm. I think age has really caught up...hmmm...or...I just need more exercise!
Met up with Pete after for our favourite ramen at Marina Square *slurp*
Saturday
We spent a good part of the day at our new home. It's been 2 weeks since we were there, and the floor was all dusty and grainy again. We mopped the floors, as well as washed the toilet in the master bedroom. The mattress that we ordered for our spare room was also delivered today.
We decided to try one of the restaurants along the mini Japan street at the basement of Jurong Point for dinner. It was rather scrumptious *burp*
Japanese Seafood Pizza

Sunday
We visited Funan for another addition to our new home. We went home with a HP printer-scanner-copier, something we will need when we are preparing our wedding montage for next year. We plan to start early. We shall see... :D
