Friday was a gathering day!! For Winnie, Ping and Moi~!! 2 accountants and a lawyer.. bet Winnie will need us to help her do the accounts for her law firm.. haha… it’s dear Winnie’s bday on 22nd April but all of us have been busy with exams and so gotta do a belated celebration.. woohoo… we landed our butts in this restaurant in Holland V, called Essential Brew! Great food.. Blackened Dory!! First instinct was ‘Is the dory black? Or it’s blackend?’ haha.. lame laa… but it taste great!!! Plus the tea that came in a set and the ‘tea leaves’ were kept in a net (something like a net la) .. uuuueeee… kinda disgusted by the Berries of the Wild.. [ok will try to put up the pic after I learn how to do it and u guys will know what I meant] … The second level is supposed to be better in terms of deco and ambience but the area is only opened after 3pm and we had our lunch at 230pm. So we just gotta settle with downstairs with tables and chairs (Well upstairs is tables and cushions).
Went to Kelly Services for job hunt and took a test. After so many years with Kelly Services then I take the test, weird huh… whatever…
That was Friday la…
Saturday was a joke!!! Dar said he wanted to buy a new phone so we went for phone hunt and journey started at Toa Payoh. Went to this first shop and there were 3 guys, the shop attendants and the boss I supposed. Darn.. smell of cigarette is so SO STRONG. I hate to be near smokers. I don’t mind my frenz who smoke la .. just dun come smoking in front of me or blow the smoke at me. I will 'give you colours see'!! Anyway the one of the three guys in the shop is smoking right in the shop lor.. goodness the shop is air-conditioned lei and he smoked in the shop!! Bless his air-con will not need maintenance soon!! I stood outside the shop while Dar enquire about the prices cuz I don’t wanna shorten my life due to the inconsiderate smokers and made me a second-hand smoker!!!! Then we went to other shops to compare prices.. typical Singaporeans hor.. then end up that Smokers shop offer cheaper price! But im strongly against buying from that shop. So i suggested to go M1 shop to buy, maybe they will offer the same price. We headed to Paragon but the price for the same model is $100 more than what the Smokers offered!! Grr… so mad manx! But I also feel very bad la.. cuz in the end we went back to Toa Payoh to buy the hp from the Smokers. Made Dar travel to Orchard and back to Toa Payoh. I should have kept my mouth shut!!!! What’s wrong with buying from the Smokers, at most stand outside and wait lor..!! Grr.. but really felt so bad.. it’s me la – never like to trouble people, no matter how close the relationship is. Luckily when we went back they never say ‘eh, you are the one who came just now’ haha.. if they recognized us then it will be so malu.. haaa… The smell of cigarettes also not there anymore, luckily manx!! If not i think my life will be shortened by 5 years cuz we spent almost an hour in the shop as Dar has to do transfers for his messages. One of the shop attendants, Sam Lim, even tried to push the Samsung battery and desktop charger to us and even wrote in the bill. Luckily Dar stopped him in time!! Very ‘efficient’ sales tactic ar!!
Was so drained after the Orchard-Toa Payoh ‘tour’ yesterday! In the end came home and ordered KFC delivery cuz both of us too drained le! Haha..
