It's Monday and I can't wait for it to be over...
My last week (since the last last Friday) has been tremendously busy, but very fruitful;) Hard work does pay off and it seems like my job as a tour guide was more than satisfactory. I enjoy being a tourist myself and it does help accompanying a tourist and showing him around even though my Singapore knowledge is barely sufficient, I guess I just know "how to eat". So my dear friend, J, has already did a fare deal of food (from Italian dessert, Japanese sushi/sashimi, porridge buffet, Hong Kong cuisine/dim sum, food court/local food, Swissotel's JAAN (french) to crepes... we have done it all in just 5 days. Not bad.
Last last Saturday, dear boss has kindly invited the team to his house for a feast of home-cooked food and I dare say the food was awesome. I did a 2nd helping, if not for a dessert appointment, I would have helped myself to a 3rd one!! But well, not supposed to be greedy and after a "sinful" Chinese New Year, I should keep my weight in check. Actually, I'm pretty amazed at my self-control this CNY, as one gets older, we become more self/health-conscious, aren't we all... I did much lesser chocolates, sweets, tarts and stuff than the years before - glad to say that!
*Hint hint to myself* Time to force-start my HOT YOGA class - stop procrastinating!!
Airshow! The first Asia Airshow in Singapore at Changi Exhibition Center and I had the great honour to go. Dear Jeff offered me a pair of tickets but another friend, JT has already got one for me... very thankful for such contacts! Don't burn your bridges, friends!! So on Saturday, I put on my best and went to witness the aerobatic display (to my disappointment, we arrived late). It all went well in the end, the later part of the show was great too... I fulfilled my wish of taking a picture with the A380!!! Well, I wish I could step in but wasn't allowed to. We didn't stay long because there was a massive crowd - at least 1 million people must be there!!!! It was so stuffy I could almost faint... Luckily, me and JT managed to get out to the road and flagged a cab without having to queue in there for hoursssssssssssssss - OMG.
It's one of the rare time when I have male companion to company me shopping. But it was fun because normally I only have Pea/Mushroom/Melon telling me,"Nice. Not Nice. Don't buy!" Ah man was shopping with me on the last Friday after we had an awesome yumm.... dinner at Fig & Olive (can't wait to put pictures up now!), but it was about closing time so I had to return again. JT came along, and I'm surprised he had the patience when I tried almost half the sunglasses (ok I think I exaggerated) on that shelf of display... Not bad! I took my own sweet time and I had someone to tell me,"This suits you better. That is a bit too big. That's nice and could go with a nice pair of heels or leggings." Now I like shopping companion:) I got my loots and happily left! Now this reminds me a couple of days before I bought another top from British India... I didn't want to, but I showed my friend J the picture I took in the fitting room and he said,"Well it's nice and you should pamper yourself." I thought he was right and I really did. Sigh. Peer pressure. :(
