The Weekends

Today was a relaxing day for me - Had a good nap after a good and hearty lunch of mixed veggie rice; and woke up to watch some TV and had a light dinner of porridge
: D

Yesterday was activity-packed - I met Rightie and her colleagues for lunch at Food Republic in Wisma Atria before walking around Orchard Road to search for the perfect emerald-cut proposal ring. We searched high and low for it in Aspial, Lee Hwa and Citigem, but to no avail. The cut was either too expensive (16K, baby!) or that the accompanying settings were either too plain or too complicated. It was really tedious to walk under the blaring sun (I could feel my mineral makeup melting and my legs laughing) Just as we were about to give up the search, we decided to give our last shot in the Delphi and boy, we found the perfect proposal ring at Fairy Incorporation, where they churn out customized rings according to the likes and characteristics of the recepient. This concept is rather interesting because you get to choose the diamond's cut and design the settings. The only downside is the price tag. It's common knowledge that customized stuff are usually more expensive. I did not like the idea that I am buying an expensive stuff like a diamond ring from an unheard brand...(Yeah, call me anal)

Both Rightie and I proceeded to meet up with Adeline in front of Raffles Hotel before we went to have dinner at an authentic Thai eatery in Purvis Street. It was a good dinner - We had pandan chicken, pineapple rice, fried kale, black peppered squid and seafood tom yam soup accompanied by refreshing coconut and lime juice : D Rightie's boyfriend, Eric, met up with us after we finished our dinner and after he had finished his crabmeat fried rice and pandan chicken, we parted ways and both Adeline and I headed to Raffles City. After strolling around, we decided to hang around in O Cha Cha and sip macha-laced drinks : ) It was really great to catch up with Adeline after a long time. If not for time limitations, we could have done more catching-up. Well, I just have to wait till 8 May after she finished her exams ; )

We walked to the bus-stop in front of Esplanade where I took Bus 195 to Clarke Quay. I met up with both Match and Jan Jan at TCC and we spoke about the coming Paranormal Annual General Meeting that was to be held this Thursday evening. Fat Boy joined us after his work and we stayed till 1am before we went home. Oh, I had macha soya latte (Antioxidants and soya protein are good for me!)
