Hi all, I am trying to see if I can summarise the whole weekend in 15 mins before I go to marketing class later. Hahaha. This is interesting because I'm bloggin at kpt in school, sitting beside the weindow and I think there will be people peeking in now and then =p

10 Mar 06 Friday
Friday was a real interesting day as I had a super long comms session (dunno how many hours) with Ms E throughout the day and it only ended till 3am in the morning on Sat morning!? I mean it's pretty interesting to learn more about her and the past. The funny thing is that I forgot I had QM quiz on Sat morning until I was brushing my teeth at 8am in the morning! Hahaha.

11 Mar 06 Saturday
Luckily the quiz seemed easy! Even though I was late for 5 min, I was the second one to leave the seminar room around 930am. Maybe it's because it was MCQ and I don't how to ascertain if I was right anyway. It was back to the office again as usual. The plan to visit the IT show was scrapped as I decided to go with Ms E to find Pikachu's present. My brother also demanded that I go Queensway SC with him to accompany him for his $400 football-stuff-budget spending spree so the IT Show was definitely out. We walked and walked around to find the present but there was nothing we could decide confidently with all the mixed opinions. Also, I had to catch Kevin for the camera back so when we eventually met up, Kevin suggested bringing us to the Mont Blanc boutique in Takashimaya. Nothing was within the budget there! (and also, now I know Kevin has a very expensive wallet, wahaha =p). Next we returned to TSC Dept Store to see if the Braun Buffel wallet was available but Ms E couldn't remember the exact design Pikachu wanted. Eventually, nothing was bought as Gerald had a differing opinion (jigsaw puzzle)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am continuing here as I didn't manage to finish it in 15mins.. haha.

So...

Kevin had to run again for his next appointment while I had to go and meet my brother at Queensway for his buying spree. Ms E had nowhere to go, and said she will be roaming. I guessed it would be pretty boring, so I tried to influence her to go Queensway with me with the reason of looking at the shoes that Pikachu wanted us to check. And yeah, she agreed eventually, but not before we proceeded to Far East Plaza to buy her new bag. At that moment, I was wondering why would anyone pay $35.90 for that kind of bag on the spur, but it looks like she was aiming at it for quite some time. Well, after that we took the bus to Queensway.

It was super tiring to wait for my brother as all the boots he wanted had gone out of sizes for his feet, so he was looking at other options at the same time. We managed to find Pika's shoe, but again, as usual, we had opposite views on whether he should buy it or not. (As usual, nearly always) Anyway Pika eventually replied that he would prefer to buy in Singapore rather than Hong Kong as it was cheaper here. After all the shopping, we managed to have dinner at Alexander food centre around 8+ and my brother treated her for her food as he felt bad making her wait for him as well. It was so crowded and smoky that day but I guess the good food's worth it. Think Tiong Bahru's still better. Anyway we took 855 back together and had a long chat till we departed at Khatib MRT (maybe if my brother wasn't around, I would have felt obliged to send her back like Pika always do)

12 Mar 06 Sunday
Morning began with a chaeuffering service of my parents and her 'sacred place' friends to a charity food fair run by the Taoist authority of Singapore (not sure of the exact name). After that it was back home and ready for the football game at NP again with Johnny and co. I think I was pretty average that day, but the hot sun was killing me. Eventually the game ended around 1pm. My brother and I rushed back as I was looking towards to going JB to collect my lenses. Unfortunately when I got home and checked www.onemotoring.com.sg, the traffic situation was unfavourable and hence I didn't go in the afternoon. The situation persisted till around 6+. I felt confident and set off - true enough, it was a breeze getting there.

But wait!

When I was finally at the shop front, it read:
'We are closed earlier today due to a joyous family occasion'

PENGZ! All the trouble I took was fruitless! Feeling bored as Pika would only be back around 10+, so I just went shopping around. Found some great stuff! Nike Air Force 1 at 50RM and etc. Shan't tell you. Anyway I spent all my ringgit till only enough to get me back home. Never spent so much of my own money in one go on clothes and accessories! But none are intended for myself in fact. Haha. Only the snacks I bought are intended for myself and my family. With some 3-4 plastic bags, I dragged myself back home praying that it will be a breeze as well.

Unfortunately, it was a stupid jam at the Singaporean immigration section!! How astonishing it can get, Singaporean side being jammed? Ah well, there were like so many people... flooded. I managed to get back home eventually only at 10pm. So it was a mad rush to wash up and get ready to fetch Pika back. 1010 was the flight arrival, but I only managed to get out of home at 1025! Anyway it was some good timing as I reached the arrival hall pick-up zone, he was already there. BUT I didn't see him! My eyesight sucks (and it was like a mad rush plus a mindset with him still picking liquors in DFS, though I must say this time I was wrong, =p) Well, I couldn't pick up the phone while driving, so I drove straight to the car park. Eventually We managed to link up and finally we were on the way home! Had a long chat till around 11+ on the way home...HK is so fascinating that we will be popping over for the bulk of our Macau trip~ yay!

Here's what he gave me from his 6D5N trip:

Kinako - made in Taiwan, looks Japanese and sold in HK (pengz) The orange and pink ones taste the best~

My brother's shoes:

Yeah, so that concludes the weekend... One of the most relaxing weekend after CNY, I guess. I managed to finish plenty of work during the weekdays ma...

Alright, let's look forward to the post #231~
