Musings - weekend

Last Saturday, I followed darling to her employment check up at Raffles Medical at Centrepoint.


We left the house early so as to be the first few to reach the clinic and avoid the crowd if any.

The check up was done by about 10+ and so we walked over to TAKASHIMAYA to have our brunch.

We used up our $20 vouchers by sharing a Japanese rice set with soba and fried chicken and also bought 4 buns from Donk, a Japanese-French bakery which is apparently quite popular from the news articles they put up at the shop.

I must say the buns tasted delicious indeed. I always felt a sense of satisfaction whenever I use up my vouchers in wise purchases.

After that, we walked back to Robinsons to take a look at the Sperry shoes which I am interested to buy using my Homescan vouchers which I have yet to redeem.

After shopping a couple of hours more at Robinsons and OG (Toys department!) we had a Macdonald black pepper McSpicy meal before heading home. I like the Lychee Fizz most ;o) other than that, the meal was pretty average.

We rested at home till evening time before going to the market to have dinner at HMJ, sharing a plate of fish slice and veg. Wifey watched the Hills Have Eyes 2 at home and i caught the remaining of Norwich Vs Reading after her show has ended. The Canaries 2-1 victory more or less ensured survival in the Premier League for another year.. phew!

Sunday, went for service and the preacher John Jacks did his prophecy again over some individuals in the congregation. May they be encouraged by the Word and live out their destiny in Christ in their lifetime.

After service , we walked down to have lunch only to meet with heavy downpour. It was a really wet and cold affair walking around to look for an eating place nearby but with no success. We then decided to go over to Hong Lim but not before braving more wind and rain that threatened to destroy both Abel and my brollies. Most of us had prawn noodles at Hong Lim.

Dinner was at Zi Yean to celebrate folks birthday. This time round, we chose the non-aircon area he-he cause weather is not that hot. We ordered the usual Tofu, sweet & sour pork, 2 veggies, half a chicken, prawn in beancurd skin and noodles.

It was a good cosy meal and I can sense that folks enjoy it more than the previous time when we there for my birthday. Probably because its less stressful than sitting inside the more formal but pricy air con restaurant. They are all simple folks, easily contented.

We chatted a bit more after dinner before going home, caught the remaining Star Awards and retiring for the night, exhausted but satisfied.
