Fruitful shopping day!!

Took leave today to go shopping with sis (finally!) and planned our shopping route north and west. After eating some chee cheong fun, we set off to our 1st destination - Jurong Point at Boon Lay. Took the north line all the way and was lucky to get seats the minute we boarded the train. It was raining quite heavily before we set off and along the way, the areas din rain yet so was quite warm. I had a headache as usual (that time of the month) and did took medicine after breakfast but it din subside until late evening. Luckily the west areas rained later so the weather wasn't that hot (even though we stayed indoors all the while) so my head still manage to stay alive.

Anyway, reached Jurong Point and had our lunch at a restaurant called "BentoBox". They have too many varieties until we cannot make up our minds. Took quite a while to decide and these are what we ate:

Curry Pork Katsu for myself
Comments: Curry too diluted

Sis had Omelette Fried Rice with Prawns Fry
(another prawn was already on my plate)
Comments: Rice abit too hard

We shared a plate of Chicken Karaage
Comments: Too oily and not so tasty

The food was actually not that great, just ok to fill our tummies. That explains how come there was not much crowd there even during lunch hrs.

After lunch we shopped around and I bought 2 bottles of nail polish from a shop. They are selling one at $18 and 2 for $30, quite worth it! I got one "Teal the Cows Come Home" (left) and "Sonata in Bronze" (right) .

We then went to the washroom and surprised that its quite huge, with more than 10 cubicles and fairly clean. The place looks chic.... cun imagine its a washroom!! We love it!! (p/s: the washrooms at West Malls sucks!!! I lost of feeling of urge when I enter so came out...)


We then spotted 2 very cute meh-mehs in a display cupboard of a shop selling knitting stuff.

After that, we spotted York Boutique, which we frequent for clothes (usually at the Tiong Bahru Plaza branch). We went in and realised the salesgal was from the Far East Plaza branch and heard from her that they close down that branch and opened one in Simei. We stayed there for quite a while and tried on several pieces of clothings. I finally decided to buy 3 tops and no bottoms (skirts) finally!! Sis bought a top (same as my brown one but hers is in black) and a denim (grey black) pleated skirt. Spent about $255 there after discount!!



Left Jurong Point and took a train to Bukit Batok to shop at West Mall. Nothing much there as we combed all the floors and left soon after to take another train to Woodlands for Causeway Point. Bought nothing and had dinner at Siam Kitchen. The food was good but was probably too hungry and tired until forgot to take any pictures. Anyway we had: Steam rice with Fried Fish Cakes, Green Mango Salad, Green Curry with Prawns and Stir Fried Chicken in Sweet and Sour Sauce.

We then took another train down to Bishan - Junction 8 whereby we bought some cotton pads from Watsons and sis bought a set of flower lights for her room. Wait till she blog ok.... very nice lights., dunno how to describe here.

Time passes really fast when not working, and tomorrow have to go back to office again... sian leh... Let me repeat... I miss Hong Kong and a holiday!!!
