This was a pretty good weekend, until now. *sigh* I’m so damn sian that my little red riding hood has failed me once again. But let me get to that in awhile and here’s recapping my weekend first.
Friday was dinner at Paramount to celebrate Grandma’s 80th birthday. It was ala carte buffet and Mel decided to keep track of how much we ate and just for our table (the older folks were seated at another table), it was 30+ ala carte dishes and 30+ servings of dessert. 30+ = close to 40. Haha. It didn’t help that each dish was huge. To get a breakdown for a clearer picture, a typical Chinese dinner is 10 course, eaten by 10 people. If we had 40 dishes (excluding dessert), it means we ate 4x a typical dinner. Insane, but nothing surprising for us. Haha. Good food knows no limit I guess.
After dinner, tubs sent Jeff & Cindy home and then we headed to Seletar East Camp to look for Mandy. I never knew there was such a happening drinking hole hidden in such an ulu place lah. Didn’t stay too long though and then the 3 of us headed to Yishun dam to slack and wait for James to come join us. Stayed til pretty late before heading home and Mandy had to work in just afew more hours. Haha. Respect.
Saturday was a super lazy day, especially for tubs. Basically it was lots of eating and sleeping and eating some more and sleeping even more. Watched He’s Just Not That Into You at Cathay around midnite and I thought the show was just ok. Met Jes below her block to slack after that but not before tubs and I spent a hell lot of time driving from place to place, looking for a Macs drive-thru to buy brekkie, cos the 2 nearest drive-thrus are ECP and Kallang and both roads were closed for the OCBC Cycle Singapore. We ended up back at Siglap to grab some morning grub.
Sunday, went Vivo in the afternoon to search for a present for a dear friend’s upcoming birthday. Saw something but ended up not buying cos I wanted to sit on the idea first. Went to Granny’s for dinner and it seems like Friday’s celebration wasn’t over yet. Grandma’s birthday = noodles & 糖水. Yum yum. And because Mel went JB earlier in the day, she got me my fave Malaysia Season’s ILT and some snacks. Triple yum! I finally bought my Indofood mee goreng. I’ve been craving for it like mad after eating it at Cat’s place awhile back. So tubs and I had that for supper, and we opened a can of top shell as side dish. Haha. I’m alright with top shell but never a huge fan but the one we ate ( I think it’s New Moon brand from the CNY hampers) was really good. We just heated it up and ate it on it’s own and boy was it good.
Tubs took leave on Monday so in the morning we went Vicom to see what was wrong with his car’s IU. Went to Vivo later in the afternoon and I settled the present buying and also did some shopping myself. Much needed retail therapy I say. After that was when all the drama happened. I shall not go into detail but basically the car’s battery died on me and after much drama, it was towed to the workshop to get the battery replaced, but not only did this whole thing cost me a hell lot of money, other problems came up suddenly which I’ll have to let the service centre check out at another time. I was so upset about it that tubs brought me for supper, hoping I’ll feel better after smoking til my heart’s content but I had no appetite at all even though the ciggies did me much good. Thank god tubs was there through all the car shit. I hate it when the car gives me problems. The poor boy must be tired as hell now but I still can’t sleep so I guess I’ll just use the com til it’s time to wake him up for work.
Here’s some overdue pictures from Elvin’s cam which I finally got. But better late then never eh.
