my fav shopping place in sg

bugis has gotta be my favourite shopping place in singapore. today is one of the saturdays where i get all my me-time with no appointments to meet. after running all my necessary errands, unknowingly i found myself in bugis. alright, not exactly unknowingly. i wanted to head to the library to borrow some travel guides and then head home straight. but somehow, i ended up shopping at parco bugis and before I know it, it was almost closing time!

i finally manage to spend my cold storage voucher! i love grocery shopping!! can really spend hours doing it! 

took this photo while resting awhile at the basement of the mall. that whole area was so green! so apt for my picture of the day!

GSS 2012 (154/365)

Don't you just love the great Singapore sales? It is that time of the year again! I took a trip down to orchard road and was greeted with alot of signs. Sales here, discounts there!! This is truly a great time to buy gifts, even if they are for people whose birthdays are in August, September, and October. it is the time of the year to stock up whatever your household needs, like maybe your bed is getting creaky. or maybe you wanna buy a new luggage for travel? even that proposal ring! get it during sales!

what are you waiting for? head down to wherever and shop!

 

TCC 1for1!

the TCC GSS 1for1 promo is back!! happy is me! :) and it's gonna be around for the entire GSS period! am so gonna eat it every week! my aim is to try all the main courses and pasta over the course of the promotion!

so I had my first tcc 1for1 today at Pomo and they gave us complimentary polo mints! here's to more tcc meals till the month of July!!

Maggie noodles (153/365)

Focus on the colour of the brand.

Anyway, maggie is a very old brand of instant noodles. we even call instant noodles maggie noodles and it's because maggie has done such a great job of penetrating in our lives. now maggie is becoming healthier, creating a healthy image. now low fat and noodles made with WHOLE GRAIN somemore.

whatever it is.. maggie is not goood for health. like myself, i prefer cooking some other stuff, instead of instant noodles. i just have a soft spot for one kind of instant noodles-- the korean spicy mushroom one!

be courteous!

singapore has an ongoing courtesy campaign with the lion mascot. I can't remember the name of that courtesy lion, is it called 'Singa'? but it's been around since forever!

oh let me boast abit, I was actually awarded this singa most courteous award in lower secondary before! I still have the medal! honestly, I have no idea how I won it! but yah, little achievements in life. =p

Weekly savers (152/365)

I remember days when I was younger, my grandma would like to take the newspaper and flip to this section. And start asking me to cut out coupons for her. I am sure this scene is familiar to all. And you find such discount and deals at ntuc. Really a auntie's galore. You don't find professional housewives shopping at cold storage or market place. I think it is not cost effective for them. Fair price is still the best, but for myself who likes more special stuff, I prefer cold storage or market place. Can get more ideas on what to cook each time I am there. When it comes to cooking, I am more adventurous.

Babies are God's gifts

my manager has given birth to a baby boy!! so exciting! visited her at the hospital today and she looks well and radiant despite the eventful week she had last week. pray that the baby will be fine and can go home with her soon!

much congratulations to her! :)

Multi purpose bag (151/365)

I am pretty sure not many can tell what is this bag. Or what is so special about this bag. This came in the office mail today. Apparently, today then I realized alot of my colleagues have been ordering things and shopping online, delivered to office.

Anyway, this is a baby bag. Mothers should know this very well. The need of a multi functional bag that one carry out when you have a baby. Cos when you have a baby, there are diapers, milk powder and alot other things that you have to bring each one you go out. Haha, motherhood is really not easy.

Healthy fast food- Mos Burger (150/365)

If I am craving for fast food, this will be the first choice in my mind. mos burget is always the healthy choice for me. their portion is just nice for me and i feel their fries is not salty and not that oily. i am currently hooked to their mussels. never tried it before until that day when my client offered me and it is nice!!! i don't know how many people remembered but they used to have mini apple pie and it was darn nice!! but now it is just one piece of apple pie. not as nice. different texture. dunno why they changed. boo!

my sister's guitar pick

I tried learning how to play the guitar from my sister but failed. I was too impatient. and my stupid fingers just can't seem to get it right! don't know how my sister manage to master it on her own!! Lately, I'm all about improving myself and equipping myself with new skills. so after jap, I'm intending to take up ukelele classes!:)

I miss school!

this notebook came in the goodie bag of one of the many camps i attended in smu. I miss attending orientation camps and enjoying life as a student! time flies, I've graduated for 2 years already! and my batch of guys have already graduated this year. we are getting old!

and despite a mere 2 years, so much has changed. so much.

Ritter Sport (149/365)

Or I call not your average chocolate. I was walking past Watson sales when I chance upon this. There were other not so commonly found flavors as well, just that they don't have red packaging. My favorite Ritter sports is the one with biscuit! Yumms

modernized old school gate

when I use the longer route from the bus stop to get home, this particular green gate always catch my attention. Seems like such metal gates have become quite a rare sight in our HDBs!

My last sundown 2012 (148/365)

Yes, it is going to be my last half marathon. After a night like last night, i know i don't wanna repeat it anymore. thus, i made this picture look abit tribute-ish.

it was a good race, there was the initial dash, there was the hydration station that i always look forward to. my 100 plus! and then there was a path that i have never taken before, all the way to marina barrage, and in some garden place which the boy and i agreed that it will be nice to visit again one of these days. and then there was the rain. and the mud, and the water splashing. and also wet bodies push together etc.

yes, my last sundown.

GSS!

the annual great singapore sale is here! all these 'sale!' and 'lower prices' sign are so luring. but I'm telling myself to control until I come back from my trip!! hopefully there'll be even more greater deals then! GSS, wait for me!!!

Guess what is this? (147/365)

Any idea? It is swatch!

i remember when i was younger, swatch is like THE brand for watch and even though i think i am as young as 6 or 7, i know i wanted a swatch watch- the flik flak! anyone remembers about it?? they are still available now, just not that a big thing as compared to history.

after swatch, came Baby-G. when i was in my secondary, i wanted a baby-g so much!! haha.. i always have phases in my life, and so does my watch preference. somehow i grew out of watches nowadays. i just need one that is versatile and i can wear on most occassions. maybe a cartier or a omega. one that is classy and will last for ages.

keep fit!

my blog partner recently blog about her red sports bra. coming from an all-girls school, we had the same hype over colored sports bra! and at least for my school, our blouse is dark blue so we didn't had the restriction of only wearing certain coloured ones. and we get to flaunt these colourful sports bra in our house tees! =p

alright, gonna put on the sports bra and do some exercise to work away the BBQ food tonight!

A little voucher (146/365)

Being an Isetan member, my mum got this is the mail. It's the sales period!!! It is amazing how handy this little voucher can be when you wanna go on a shopping spree.

Both my mum and I are members of many different brands and departmental stores, so when a period like this comes, we will be receiving alot alot of emails and brochures to lure us to shop!!

time waits for no man

things move so fast in Singapore. landscape changes, business changes, people changes. as they say, change is the only constant.

when I started on university, this shop was initially a hair salon I think. then 3 years ago, it became a Aston-imitation shop called Republic of Steak. I remember I quite like it and made my friends accompany me to eat there, and esp when i first started out at the advertising firm. when I passed it today, the shop has changed to 'Steak Out'. not sure if the management is the same but it sure changes pretty fast.. wonder if the business is sustainable. hmm.

Irony (145/365)

I wonder when SMRT stick this poster up, did they thought of what an irony it will be?
