ORCHARD WAS PACKED MAD.
Thursday, December 24, 2009
It was super crowded yesterday, with people doing last minute shopping.
Yesterday went to Orchard with Bee for early x'mas dinner because he 25th going to Batam.
Finally did go to ION, but nothing much there, because it's for effing rich people to shop one. Like everything is designed for them and not me.
When I stepped out of MRT station and into ION, I saw Rubi, and a few familiar shops around. So I was like, "Not so bad like other people describe what. Still can afford below 150$ one." Then Bee warned that perhaps the lower floors are cheaper stuff and the top levels are more expensive. He's so right man. As we go higher and higher, the prices of things escalate higher too.
Bee take it as motivation to earn big bucks next time, while I feel it's torture, because either I marry him, who hopefully becomes very rich or I got to squeeze and save just to get something from there. I don't know what kind of job I'll end up with, but to find something I enjoy, rather easy working hours and high pay, seems so impossible. And all of a sudden, Bee seems more certain about his future career than I do.
Well, after we walked around ION and faced a very mad foreign person, we went to Wheelock.
(Okay, I shall pause and tell you of the story of TWG. HAHAS. Made Bee fuming mad. So what happened was, we went to this tea shop, I think it's TWG tea, can't remember. They have really great sachets and tea leaves, so Bee wanted to get for his daddy. We pondered over the box and tin ones. And Bee was curious how much the tin one cost. Because if it's over 50$ we won't need to dine after that. So when we go ahead and ask the person behind the desk where the scales are, he has this funny accent which I can't put my finger on. I couldn't catch 4/5 of the things he said, and Bee kept asking "Ta jiang she me?" [what did he say?] I couldn't help but want to laugh and it's so frustrating we have to just walk away because we didn't understand his accent. Bee wanted to get it badly, but he wasn't even able to instruct the guy properly. So in the end left feeling rather pissed.)
Okay, so walked around Wheelock and went to Borders. Bee was viewing some Chinese Revolution stuff around that section and noticed I was getting restless. He said that 7year old mentality like mine should be getting really bored so let's go see what I want to. In my defense, I told him not to be surprise, his girlfriend may just end up a historian. He just laughed -.-
It was Taka after Wheelock and went to find the Japanese F&B. Walked around and snacked before heading to Paragon.
At Paragon, Bee got so hungry, he decided to just quickly find food. So we ended up going to some IDK what name Japanese restaurant. Well, it wasn't that bad, but it wasn't that good either.
After dinner, we went to see the lights, and it's pretty (: Walked back to ION before roaming around at places that make me feel like a fish out of water. & went into Sephora. Reminding me I better get foundation soon.
Decided to just head back since there's no spot to sit and ION is really too expensive for us to walk anymore. Then went to Tampines' to settle for coffee.
Ended up at Coffee Bean where we exchanged presents :D Bee gave me a silver ring that is slightly too fitting on the middle finger but perfect on the ring finger :D I'm being real delicate with it though. Heehees.
Then sat there and talk for longlong time before heading home (:
I would have took tonnes of pictures including my present, but I guess the camera part slipped my mind ): Sigh.
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE (:
Oh, did I mention, "I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus" song is stuck in my head :D
&& I'm trying to chiong in Pet Society and get all the clearance items :D HAHAS.
