Last minute shopping at Far East and Bugis
Tuesday, February 05, 2008
Today I deliberately took an afternoon half day off to go shopping. Was stressed out with work recently. This retail therapy comes at the right time.
Meet up with Valor for lunch. we went to Lucky Plaza. The food court is quite nice and the price is reasonable. :D
After lunch I head to far east to shop. Phew.. I really spend as if there’s no tomorrow. This shopping trip is the most fruitful one in my whole life! Bought 2 shorts (never bought a single short in my life and today I bought 2), 1 pair of shoe, and 1 shawl. My usual shopping trip will only get 0-2 items.
Then after that I go Bugis, bought a pair of ¾. First time I bought a pair of white pants. Hee..
By then I was feeling very tired, Bugis was super crowded! Wanted to buy shirt for Bb too, but couldn’t find anything nice.
After that I head to Chinatown buy Bwa Qua. I went to buy the most expensive one. $50 per KG. faint. Bought 1 KG for Bb’s family and bought ½ KG for my family. My family doesn’t have habit of snacking, so I bought a smaller amount for my own family.
My feet hurts from all the walking. Sat at Chinatown MRT station to rest my feet for about 10mins then go to Boon Keng. I was way too early, so I go to Mac to rest. It’s really not advisable to wear heels to shop, my feet hurt till as if it’s falling off. Argh. Reached Boon Keng at 6pm, the rest coming at 7pm.
We waited till about 7.30pm then we start to head towards the steamboat place.
Bb said when reached the cross junction need to turn right. But at the cross junction, we all saw ‘Chong Pang’ signboard. Walking down the road, see that there is no other similar eating places, decided to call Bb again to check. So Chong Pang is the correct place. We walked back. Hee.. it’s good to have some exercise before having a heavy meal like this. hee.. :D
The price is $16 per pax. Free flow of drinks and ice cream. Hee.. I don’t mind to pay higher if the drinks are free flow.
Last time when Chong Pang still at Marina Bay, they are charging for the drinks. Couldn’t enjoy the meal so much cause you know there’re restriction to drinks. hee..
The place there is not so warm and stuffy. I enjoyed the meal. Hee.. when eating half way, Bb came. Feed him some food. Then after a while auntie came and ask how come there’s another additional person here, I told auntie Bb not eating.. opps.. hee...
After the meal, we head back to MRT. Managed to get Huat and Tiong Kun to go Sengkang and take 161 with me. hee.. Initially wanted to go Bb house and pass the Bwa Qua to his mum personally. Bb said it’s late then ask me to go home with Huat and TK.
Took 161 with Huat and TK back to woodlands. :D
Today was a tiring day. When I got home, first time I did is to take off my shoes and quickly give my feet a good and relaxing scrub.. hee.. :P thanks my dear feet for working so hard today!
