it was an entire day of shopping... heehee...
i began my expenditure at Raffles City... i bought pink roses for some of my students who were doing a school show performance at Victoria, and a purple rose for Mei Sing (their ballet teacher) and then i thought... maybe Mei sing will probably feel a little peckish when the girls are dancing... so i bought her a bag of jelly beans to peck on..heehee.... i bought them cards to give them my well wishes for an awesome show :)
next off, i had to scout around for a good gift to get for my ballet teacher who was having her birthday the following day... i thought about getting a cake and flowers...but i thought...hmmf probably not... so i pop into Crabtree and Evelyn and grabbed her some nice clotted cream cookies and teas, nicely wrapped in a pastel carrier...and a card from Prints... whilst at Prints, i bought 2 boxes (a lime green and a purple) for both Mei Sing and I to put barang barang....
then off i went to give these pressies to my lovely people... then after Victoria Theatre... i pop by Fullerton to get cheesecakes for a friend, but.. guess what, their pastry house has closed down... so i thought.. hmmph perhaps One Fullerton might have some good stuff in the restaurant.... oh mind... i was wrong... perspiring like nobody's business, i walked over to discover that the restaurants that used to be by the river bank were no longer there, and the only decent place is, STARBUCKS..... i was on the verge of walking all the way to Marina Mandarin to try for cheesecake... but... looking at the time... i guessed rather not... and at that point... i think i am probably getting quite a tan from walking in the sun...
so i pop into Starbucks for a refreshing Chocolate Cream Chip with a shot of Hazelnut (de-li-cious!) and 2 slices of cheesecakes.... yums yums... i can't wait... bearing in mind.. i have not eating anything apart from tiny portion of beehoon from my mum's.
off i went to Thomson plaza to give my ballet teacher her birthday present... but alas... to find out that her dance school is shut... and i was in a complete lost... keeping my fingers crossed, i rang her to see if there was any other way to hand her, her presents.... (she was rehearsing for NDP). she suggested that i drop the present off at her place... phew... so off i embarked into the north... i got there, still perspiring.. hahhaha... and rang her door, but no one was there, her maid was out and my teacher's mummy was in there but i think she was probably locked in...oh dear... so i hanged her present over the gate.. and off i went to my next gift-giving place... gave my friend the cheesecakes which did make my friend pleased and smiley! it made me smiley too!!!
and then to my final place...Raffles city again to meet Elaine...it was a saturday... i was all keen to catch up on my James McAvoy fever at the cinemas with 'Wanted' and 'Penelope', but all my kakis were not free, and elaine who was killing time before she meet up with her bf, suggests that we go walk walk... just as I was waiting for her, i bought myself a ring from Swatch, which i did set my eyes on them for ages... the ring was from their pilot collection, when they first had jewellery. it looked like and enlarged, tripled, chor-lored version of my mimioui. I looked around topshop and other apparel stores, tried some clothes on but non catches my fancy much... but i did fancy some chunky male watches in Agnes B for meself... the female ones were far too dainty and minute for a chor-lor me... but the price was... ahem ahem... overpriced for an Agnes B.
anyway... met up with elaine... and then we go walk walk...showed her the watches whilst she set her eyes on a necklace (that had a whistle, and a pendant). she said she really really love it, but dun wanna burn a hole in her pocket... i did thought about getting it for her for her upcoming birthday with the other sistas...but... i thought about it.. i rarely goes into town..and since i was there i should just buy it... so i had a great opportunity when we pop to the loo, and she left first to go walk walk around, and i sneaked into Agnes B, and purchased the necklace... the shop staff were hilarious.. they recognised me from my previous visits and i told them i needed to buy that to surprise my friend, they were very cooperative, they hid me in the corner of their counter, and quickly wrapped the present up, and i made haste in writing her a note to wish her happy birthday in advance and hope this surprise will make her smile! and it did... that warms my heart, and it was the best feeling everyone can have...
joyfully, we made our way to Shokudo for unravelling the surprise and to wait for her man, and of cos.. FOOD!!!! the one thing i was waiting for!!!! ahhahaha...
Here's elaine and her present surprise!
Snapping about for her blog entry too...
and the real present!!! pink star that has a cursive B on it, which did looked like an E actually...
