Busy weekend

Its been a tiring but fruitful weekend. Went to collect our wedding bands on Friday at Suntec's Lee Hwa Jewellery and decided not to engrave our names on the rings. Reason being that its a smooth wear and will feel rough if engraved with names and as what the saleman said, we are in each other's heart, no need to engrave names on the rings as we dun remove and see anyway. Quite true la, a couple in love will have each other engraved in each other's heart... so heartwrenching...

Had dinner at the Marina Square food court again and quite crowded the Career Fair was on at Suntec. The "Qi Ji" store even had an early rest for the night as all their stuff were sold out. Walked abit then settled at Mac to discuss about our house and wedding matters till 10pm+ then went home.

Woke up early on Saturday morning (not so early but just 1 hr or more earlier than usual). Met Web at 1pm+ at YCK mrt train platform and we took a train down to Jurong East. Checked out stuff at IMM and rounded up with more discussions b4 we walked back to Jurong East Central for dinner.

Another tiring day today as we made our way to Tampines to catch a shutter bus to Ikea/ Courts. Not surprised that there were so many people and we alighted Courts 1st and checked out some electrical applicances' and furnitures' prices. They also have similar concept type layouts for bedrooms like Ikea. We particularly like 2 sofa sets and will KIV until we can spot a cheaper set. One L-shaped sofa was damn comfi and cost $1400++ while the other 3+1+1 set cost ard $1200++. We then went over to Ikea and started off with the ever famous Ikea cafe chicken wings and hotdog buns b4 starting off with big Ikea walk.

After alot of walking and deciding what to buy in future, we called it a day as we were both tired and thirsty. Good thing I had my water bottle with me so we saved in buying drinks (and trying to cut down on sweet drinks) even though we claimed 2 drinks from the Ikea friends card. Waited for the shutter bus awhile and we got some place to stand near the entrance of the bus and slowly shaked back to the Tampines mrt station.

Took bus 72 back to near YCK mrt station and cut through flats to AMK central. Went to NTUC Xtra after buying chrysanthemum tea from one of the chinese medical hall to check out prices there. Looks like we will probably buy stuff there as they are generally cheaper than elsewhere like Courts or Best Denki, plus can get NTUC points too. Bought a pancake each with a cup of bandung soya bean while we took a rest at the fountain area and left at 10pm+ for home.
