Overdue updates

Ooh haven't been blogging since last Thursday. Been quite busy and no inspiration to blog, and probably too tired when I do have time in front of the computer. Let me recap some past events...

Thursday
Met sis for ktv after work and she made me "love lunch box" with my favourites - fried rice with egg and luncheon meat, with fried prawns and 2 slices of luncheon meat!


Only sang until 11pm+ as we were both out of songs and tired although going to be on leave the next day.

Friday
Web had planned to meet his pals to celebrate one of their birthday but ended up kean flew aeroplane by the birthday boy. Kind of expected coz its not the 1st time but these frens are probably too innocent... hahaha... Anyway prior to that, my company's CNY dinner was supposed to be the same day but I decided to skip since boss din disagree. While Web continued on with his other fren to catch up, I took leave and went shopping with sis. Woke up late, towards noon thus only started shopping near to 3pm after lunch at home and slowly rolling out of the house. Was in Orchard and wanted to get out b4 the Chingay preview but still missed the last 36 when we planned to go to the airport. Had to walk to the bus stop at Far East Plaza and eventually headed to Raffles City area. Had dinner there followed by more shopping and then relaxed at the cafe at the new opened basement area until almost 10.30pm.

Saturday
Went over to Web's house after lunch as we need to go to the geomancy centre at Gullimard Road to get good dates for our customary wedding. The master was the famous "Yiu Rong Zi" thus cost us $168 for the service. He gave us 7 dates from the lunar 8th month and we need to go back again 2 months prior to the date we chosen to ge auspicious time etc for the actual day and some miscellaneous matters relating the house. Took us quite a while as the master starting chatting unrelated matters and smoked non stop inside the room. It was until Web's mum asked about the dates then he started getting serious in his work.

Web's mum headed home while we took a bus to Suntec City and shopped around. We finally bought our wedding bands at Lee Hwa after checking out Goldheart and still think that the former is better in terms of design and worksmanship. It took us quite a while as the rings need to match both of taste and liking. Finally settled on a pair which costs ard 1.1k, which the price was suprisingly quite reasonable and way below our budget. Collection will be on 6 Mar 07 so will probably collect Friday the same week.


We then had dinner at Marina Square's food court and shopped a while b4 settling down at some seats away from the crowd (near Gain City) and played Uno and chatted. We then slowly walked back to the mrt and took train home,

Sunday
Its a tiring day for both of us as we started house surveying at Sengkang. Took bus 159 while Web boarded near his home and we stopped at Sengkang Bus Interchange 1st as we need to buy a compass. We then walked to the blocks of flats we were eyeing and starting braving through rain and shine to select our preferred unit. Eventually decided on the area where its brighter and windy. We had also decided to take urgent leave on Monday to go down to HDB to quickly grab the flats b4 they are released to private agencies into the open market. The previous batch relased received so good responses thus we were quite worried. Buying a resale and new flat only differs a bit so we preferred to get a new one.

Took a bus to the nearby bus interchange (also Sengkang mrt stn) as it was pouring heavily. Had dinner at the Kopitiam food court and ate my favourite claypot chicken rice there. Shopped and hanged around until 10pm+ then we took 159 home. Web alighted halfway as usual (in fact only 4 stops away) while I slowly "yao yao" back to Toa Payoh. Almost fell asleep on the bus and worse when I missed 2 buses (59 & 231). Really cun stop yawning while I was at the bus stop.
