Busy day!

Woke up early, quite unwillingly, to run my daily sales update from home. Was quite stone and thought could sleep a while before waking up to check on emails etc but just not able to. Started to feel headache again, probably not enough sleep and got disturbance by my alarm and the noise outside. Ended up slept till almost 12 noon then woke up to shower as need to leave home by 12.45pm to go Registry of Marriage for Hui's ROM ceremony.

It started raining quite heavy before we left home but luckily stopped when we were leaving and managed to get a cab quite fast. Picked up Angeline at Peninsula on the way and Xris was already there. Hanged around and took some pictures before we were ushered into the private solemnization suite. The ceremony was quite fast, over in less than 20 mins and more pictures sessions followed before we proceeded to a restaurant down the hill for lunch. It was quite tough going downtown in our heels as its really steep! Dunno why they design the road like that, not user friendly at all. We need to hold onto each other for support before reaching the restaurant in one piece.

The food (buffet style) was good and the restaurant decor quite nice except that the usher was quite blur and not very courteous and the place was quite cramped. We were all very hungry by then so ate quite a lot and were feeling so bloated after that. Sat around and chatted until we finally made our departure ard 3.30pm+ after some pictures taking.



Walked down to Funan taxi stand just across the road as Xris took a cab back to office while Angeline went to take mrt (for shopping). We also took a cab home while both me and sis napped for a while before going out for shopping again. Imagine we were already so tired (plus we got headache too) so I guess Hui should be worn out too.

It was again raining heavily when we were leaving for Orchard, lucky we got shelter all the way. Started with Taka 1st and as usual din buy much stuff except for farewell gifts for my colleague. Sis bought a purple poodle soft toy which she was eyeing for some time. We then walked over to the Paragon for dinner at Nooch and more window shopping at Metro. Saw a pair of shoes by Ecco and thought would check out at Taka 1st since we got vouchers. Walked back to Taka but too bad they dun carry that design... and the pair costs $95 so gotta think twice. It was then to Kino while we bought books (one of which is Xris' Xmas present to my sis) and stationeries.

Walked around Isetan Orchard and Espirit still bought nothing. Left for home while it started raining very heavily again. We were thinking Hui was lucky coz the rain stopped during her ROM else would be very inconvenient for everyone (especially getting there and to the restaurant).

Still feeling headache but gotta work tomorrow. Good thing already took leave on Friday so gonna have a long weekend before its a new year again. No more holidays by then until Chinese New Year in late February!

p/s: will post the ROM's pictures when Xris send them over...
