Started off with a Japanese movie "Handsome Suit" on Thurs night. Very entertaining, a no-brainer movie. But the lady sat next to hubby was even more entertaining... during one of the trailers (17 Again), her repeated exclamation "ooh.. so handsome" was too loud to be ignored. Then, she'd break the silence as her sudden laughter rang through the cinema, when there's nothing funny at all. I wonder if her friend would feel embarrassed... or maybe she's already used to her friend's eccentricity.
Fri morning... we had breakfast @ Thomson Plaza's Hans. While having our late breakfast (@11.30am), June called & suggested lunching together & named Thomson Plaza! That's too coincidental! So we stayed around for another hour before they arrived. During which we browsed in Video Ezy & rented 3 DVDs. Went home after lunch & started our movie marathon. Enjoyed the 1st one - "The Other Boleyn Girl". Nice. I've always liked movies of that era... from "Elizabeth", "Marie Antoinette" to "The Duchess" etc... I like that they're part of the history. It's a lil similar to how we felt when we visited Versailles & Old Lyon...
Right after, we re-watched an old show "Addicted To Love". In its midst we had an interval & went Chong Pang for dinner with mum. Didn't derive as much satisfaction as from the first movie...
We're adventurous enough to start on the 3rd - "Made of Honor". But only 15 mins into the show, I dozed off! Too exhausted.
Saturday.... we attended my department lunch at my boss, WL's, place in Holland Village. Hubby has talked to WL a few times at my office lobby when he met me for lunch... but it's the first time he met the rest of my colleagues:) After lunch, hubby sent me to Telok Blangah to treat my back. At night, completed the show which we started the previous night.
Sunday... had a full-day unplanned program. Sent mum to church. Had breakfast nearby before attending the wake of Celena's grandma in Teban Gardens. Then we're back in Parco... meeting Vince's siblings at 1pm for lunch.
After lunch, we walked to The Bencoolen as Ben wanted to get a watch for a gal;) Brought him to this watch shop which hubby & I patronise whenever we need to buy a watch (for ourselves or for others)... have also brought quite a few of our friends there.. & they've always given us very good discounts.
When done with the 'mission', we decided to go for a KTV session.
Then followed by dinner at AMK's Astons.
By the time we headed home, it's about 9pm & both of us had been out for exactly 13 hours. The initial idea was just to bring Ben to the watch shop but thought that since we're meeting him, might as well ask the rest for lunch. Didn't expect the program to be flowed to the night. But we had fun:)
We usually plan the minimal for Sundays... hate it when the fatigue is being carried forward to Monday. We just detest Mondays (unless it's a PH or if we're on leave:P)!
So yes, we're on leave last Mon!:D First half day was spent in TTSH as FIL went back for checkup. Afternoon, we ran some errands.
And very quickly, that's the end of our 4-day long & interesting weekend....
