Silent Night
Aha! I have to blog about two days for today's entries. Ok, first things first, let's talk about Friday! :) So fun.
Friday was VivoCity day with Adlin and Calista. As expected, Calista was late for almost an hour, and Adlin was so un-fashionably late by 20min. :D I was the only person on time! 3 cheers for the Princess of Punctuality! We met at Dhoby Ghaut, so during their late minutes, I had Green Day and the Corrs keeping me company. Adlin had such "big-ass" (Calista darling likes to use this word. cuz it's a big-ass nice word to use. ;3) earrings, which were also accentuated because she tied up her hair. LOL. So basically I looked at her and saw this big ball with two other balls dangling at the sides. HAHAHA. While we took our first few baby steps into Vivo, Calista told us ALL about her BAD DAY *song starts playing*. All about how they basically got soaking wet, their bus broke down, they made other people miss the bus, they had to take off their shoes, Calista's sandal strap broke, MICE bar was full so they were turned away, ended up as a bunch of bedraggled "homeless" people. So. I've never had a day THAT bad. :)
Tangs had these really adorable intricate sets (yeah, with intricate prices of $300 and above) of electrical toys, like the moving circus, carousel and this mini rollercoaster thing. It was all made of wood and very fragile, not like those cheapskate penguin toys you find people selling at pasar malam. Calista offered to give me her penguin rollercoaster set, but I graciously declined, seeing as she needed it more than I did. XD We tramped around Vivo, popping in and out of stores like Forever 21 and Espirit. Too bad there wasn't a This Fashion or Mad About Shoes outlet. Hey, a student's budget is MEAGRE. Oh, Adlin's finger almost got stuck permanently in this gaudy black ring she randomly tried on at Forever 21. LOL. Her face had the word "panic" all over it. Damn funny. I stole many bars of nougat from her bag as well, sometimes with her permission, and sometimes without. :)
Up on the third level were the gift stores Mini Toons, Action City and Mu-Ee, together with another one selling many anime figurines. :) It was so crowded, but I guess its gonna be christmas soon and everyone was doing their last minute shopping. SO LAST MINUTE, tsk tsk. They had free gift-wrapping services as well, and it looked as if all three stores were competing against each other. HAHA. There wasn't any McDonalds or KFC at Vivo at all, so we contented ourselves with Carl's Jr instead. The burger was quite good. I ate the spicy BBQ burger. And the drinks were refillable. Whee!
Later on we wandered out of Vivo and I got two more cute prezzies, but for who I won't say. Sufice to say that by then my feet were aching like mad (that always happens whenever I wear that stupid gold pair of shoes. I'm trying to break them in lah, like Adlin's Keds). After Carls Jr (while we ate she was writing her x'mas cards, lol!), Adlin had to scram, and before I went home, I managed to grab a handy pack of kawaii x'mas cards. Just in time too.
After I got off the bus at my stop, guess who I met? Haha. Huiyun lor. She called me saying she THOUGHT she saw me. But ended up she was right. LOL. We chatted for a bit, then I had to go cuz my mum was bugging me. We had this family dinner at Island Country Club (complete with suckling pig, but I think Carls Jr ruined my appetite) with Da Gu Zhang and Michael's family. And I got to see Yan Zhong too! OMG, I can't believe I forgot to video him! He's not even 1 yr old and he's so huge! XP They had this fake snow thing outside as well, but when my dad touched some, he realised it was just soap detergent. Eeeyerrrr.
Thus the day ended. HAHA. If my tone seems flat, pardon me. I don't really feel like blogging but I still have to catalogue my eventful life.
^_^
...is what I said. Savvy?
