Another pleasant weekend

We were trying to sleep in late this morning, but we kinda failed to live up to our previous "standards", only kun until 930am *sigh* another sign of old age ha ha ha last time can knock out for at least half a day anytime, anywhere. Now even in 4-5* hotels also complain that the pillows are uncomfortable ha ha

YES we are getting OLDER!

oh well, we debated seriously with the following options:
1. have breakfast at home or downstairs with congee, chee kway?
2. stay home to clean up the house first or go over to the central to look see look see?
3. bake pineapple tarts @ home or go Woodlands to check out JBL speakers on offer?

We could not really decide on what to do for the rest of the day, so we just read the papers to "consider" our options at the back of our heads while trying to comprehend the trashy ST.

Finally we got our butts out of the sofa and headed for the central for breakfast (had to try out a new chee kway stall there) and pick up the ingredients for baking pineapple tarts in the late afternoon?

After munching down the chee kway, we spilt up, Ad to go to the bank (great thing about OCBC bank is that they are OPEN with Full banking facilities on the weekends!) while I headed out to HDB Hub to sort out some house loan issues which have been sitting there since Dec hee hee.

We went on to galavant around the central and by time we were done, it was almost 230pm! ha ha ha, unbelievable!

The debate still continue, to clean or to go listen to speakers or to bake?

Finally, Ad decided that cleaning wont take up much time and he started vacuuming the house. I continued with my "eye-power" and waited and waited. The waiting must be a tiring process, because I fell asleep while waiting! ha ha

I woke up close to 6pm, it was too late to go out or to bake because we have a family dinner at 7pm! ha ha, so we watched tv to "waste" our time away. Also enjoying in the evening on our couch.

After dinner we decided to head down to Robinson for their special special awesome SALE! Members get additional discount on some items. Knowing that we might go crazy during the sale, we decided that less time spent there is good, we arrived 45mins before store closing time.

Ad found 5 business shirts for $100 total, 3 cushions for $4 each after discount, Corelle plates for a friend at $8 each (usual price at $13.30), bedsheets (470 threadcount, far surpassing our current 400 by close to 30% ha ha) for $57 (usual at $150, 50% discount, 20% members discount, 5% members rebate) and some other stuff which I cannot remember because they have yet to arrive at our home.

YES, we walked home hands FREE after shopping in robinsons because for $150 worth of shopping, you get FREE delivery to your door step! Within a few days usually and the best part, one of the time slots for delivery is 6-9pm. Best for us!

We were still debating if we should bake pineapple tarts after the shopping, but we've got to go to church tomorrow morning and we decided Nah!

So we took a leisurely walk from Centerpoint down towards Borders and soak in the Sat night atmosphere abit. (get abit of exercise done also!) There was quite a bit of crowd on the roads, all driven OUT of the malls ha ha (wished that they would extend the shopping hours on weekends, at least give US consumers something to DO).

Borders was kinda PACKED because all the malls are closed and its not time for the midnight shows yet? hee hee

After an hour of browsing, we finally retreated home on our favourite bus to kun.

pleasant way to spend a saturaday!
