Then Fri morning, a friend from PSA called & invited me for dinner with her friend from a certain consul who needed to check some info from me. Tried to postpone it as it's a lil too rushing & didn't wish to spoil our Fri night with a work dinner. But finally acceded to her persistent "pleading", stating clearly that we'd have to run before 8pm. Supposed to meet them @ 6.45pm @ Keppel Club but we're being held up by the bad congestion on the road & only arrived past 7. Had a short but good dinner at The Boardwalk Café. Nice view - Sentosa's just across the sea & there's this mangrove-lookalike view at the entrance of the café. Enjoyed the tranquilizing ambience with sounds of wave gently hitting the shore. And the gentleman turned out to be a funny young guy who's about our age. Think we made quite a scene with our thundering laughter almost throughout the dinner. Also not forgetting to thank my sociable hubby who joined in the fun.
When we left Keppel Club, we're half an hour behind time, again. Made a few rounds before we finally found a lot. Reached Ink Club Bar a few mins before 9pm. 1st time meeting PY’s boyfriend & we’re 1-hr late!
We'd a beer each & lotsa catching up with PY. So happy for her! Didn't stay late... all of us (her bf's sis, their cousin & wife) left slightly before 11pm. Another meet-up should be on the way.. most likely will do dinner.
Hubby then brought me to the famous Boon Tong Kee chicken rice @ River Valley as his wifey was feeling hungry.
Btw... we'll definitely be back to Keppel Club for more.
Woke up late on Sat since I’d no driving lesson. Had a not so dissatisfying lunch @ a HK cafe @ Kovan.. whereas hubby loved it... think I'd ordered the wrong thing. Visited daddy (instead on Sun usually), then back home... & out again @ 5pm+. Went all the way to Orchard to get my undereye concealor, only to realise on Tues that I've got a totally wrong product!! It all started last Fri... read about some good comments about YSL's Touche Eclat, so went to Seiyu during lunch to get it. But who knows for watever reason I went straight to Estee Lauder's counter instead. And coincidentally I found a similar golden pen-like product - Ideal Light Brush-on Illuminator. Wanted to buy it but out of stock. So I took a train to Robinson's @ Cityhall & again, no stock. The irony was after I returned to office, I still went online again to check it out (YSL's) but didn't realised I was all along browsing a different 1! And how determined I was in getting it... thought it must be a real hot-seller to be out of stock @ 2 big department stores. Happily bought 1 on Sat @ Centrepoint. The result was only so-so. Then on Tues at home, out of the blue I somehow recalled............... was it YSL that I previously saw online?! Quickly logged on to check. Indeed.
Oh my.... I can't believe I'm that blur!!! Somemore hubby had to drive all the way to town & paid for the expensive but WRONG product. I’d just mustered enough courage to tell him just now & he’s so cool about it…& told me I could still get YSL’s if I wish to. Yeah!! I’ll see how lor…
But at least Sat’s trip wasn’t wasted as we did find some good buys that evening.
Silly me...
Sunday morning, as usual sent mum to church. Then went to Vince's eldest aunt's... remember the cousin who's getting married on our 1st anniversary? Yep, last Sun he brought dowry to the bride-2b's family, distributed cakes & invites. And yep, we'd to show face... at least for a while. It turned out to be alright... with free food including my fav dessert. Also chatted with hubby's cousin. She's in advertising & happened to know Mel too. It's a small world huh. Anyway, Mel's promoted to COO so not surprising if she were to know her in the advert circle.
Stayed there for more than an hr before fetching mum & then rushed home. Had booked a 3-hr ktv session with brother & family downstairs. Thereafter they had a swim.. hubby & I were simply too lazy... tsktsk......
Dinner time we went to sis' restaurants. Her French restaurant was closed… the other bistro just a few steps away (in Serene Centre) was opened though. The original plan was to set a table there for 9 of us but we didn’t wanna affect her business as there’re quite a few walk-ins. So we’d a “private 3-course dinner” @ her restaurant & every1 enjoyed it. Well I’m not praising her just because she’s my sis… but she can really cook! Hmm....
