Pictures
My day in pictures. Because I'm too tired from working all day, and shopping all night -- even if it was just window-shopping.
Has it been that long since I visited the upper tiers of the shopping complex? Ngee Ann City has this quaint little toy store, with wooden puzzles and toys that I so love. I think there's another one like it at Raffles City, but this one's a lot bigger! It's called "The Better Toy Store," for those of you who are interested. :)
Close-up of a wooden carrot. They had wood everything! It was a like a little wooden grocer's corner. (No, I don't know what's up with the strange green hue.)
It's a rat poking out of a cheese wedge; I know the photo didn't turn out that well, but that's how it is with camera phones. So adorable.
Another surprise! A crafts shop! There used to be one at Orchard Point before they revamped it, but ever since then I never quite knew where to get those spiffy rubber stamps, apart from the limited selection at Spotlight.
How could I resist? I think this might be my new profile picture for Blogger and MSN. :)
That's Mark Waite on the left, of Moulmein High fame. I know you can't tell, but I wasn't about to hold up my camera to his face, so you'll just have to take my word for it.
The Dunlopillo on display, which apparently, "can be used as a pencil holder, lah!"
Waiting for food...
Dumpling noodles -- most inexpensive dish on the menu, which is very fine by me. :p
Tang yuan for dessert! (We had fried dumplings in between, but I was too busy eating to take a picture of that.)
Finally, little Chloe, whose acquaintance we made in the ladies'. She wanted to take a picture with us. So cute! :) She called us "chieh-chieh" too, which was a nice change from being called "auntie."
It does something to my heart -- I can't put in words -- that by Tuesday, all my friends who'd come back for the holidays would've left to start the new semester again. It's a cruel ritual that we've been doing over and over the past three years. We're all over the place: the UK, US, Australia... only this time, come July, some of them would've graduated, and they'll be back for good.
And yet, it doesn't make me miss them any less.
Until July, girls and boys.
