Singapore Adventure: First Singapore Holiday

May 31, 2007 (Vesak Day)

Rivervale Walk

Suntec Convention Center

Inspite of the holiday today, I, Eric and Doyle still didn't get a day off as our schedule for today was blocked with a lot of "fun" activities.

As planned, we set off to fix up our flat where we'll be transferring soon. (I am going to miss my Regency House tub. Sniff) We aired out the entire house, mopped the floors, wiped the furniture rid of dust and what have you. Several hours later, we finally finished and decided to unwind a little by popping in a video from the entertainment center into the machine. But we got tired of soon and so we agreed to head off to the next set of fun activities.

We went to the PC Show 2007 at the Suntec Convention Center. A techies' heaven and the place was (not) surprisingly packed, literally brimming with people! It was like we teleported back to Manila in Tutuban during the holidays. Still, we risked it. Nobody's going home empty handed! Hehehe.. Well, at least that's what we came there to do, shop! But too bad, Eric did not get his PS3 then. But Doyle, well, I am sure his night's will never be the same again. Hehehe... See those pictures on the top of this entry? They were taken with Doyle's brand new iMac's webcam. Way cool huh? Hehehe...

It still isn't too late for Eric and I. The PC Show is running from 31 May to 3 June, so we'll still get our chance to shop for gadgets like crazy. Hehehe.... After all, weekend's coming!

Singapore Adventure: My Latest Toy

I saw this at the Creative store in Plaza Singapura during lunch break. At the end of the day, I already had it in a bag to bring home. Hehehe... I am such an impulsive shopper!

Click on the photo to view the specifications of the Creative Zen Stone. Nice piece of item for a very cheap cost, only 69$! Fits right in to my small palm. :)

Singapore Adventure: Healthy Living (?)

Dinner is served. Yes, I and Eric have been converted, we are now vegetarians! Hahaha... Only for today. But of course, we intend to live by it.

The weight gain has to be managed, otherwise we will be doomed! Hehe.. Or at least, our clothes packed from the Philippines. >:)

Cheer us on, please.

Singapore Adventure: Big Spender

May 26, 2007, Saturday

Suntec Convention Center

Suntec City Mall

Marina Square

The Great Singapore Sale was launched last Friday, 25 May. And it will run for two months, ending exactly on 22 July. No surprise why there was a long queue of cars along Penang Road exactly in front of the Regency House. Which made me come to this realization why people in Singapore work so hard... Just so they have money to spend for the sale. Hehehe... Or at least, that's MY plan. Haha... First weekend of the sale period, and I was already on a roll. ;)

I purchased these two Lacoste bags at the Citibank Closed Door Sale Event for Citibank card holders. It always pays to have good friends with a soaring credit limit! Hehehe... Thanks, April for that display of your magnanimous nature. ;)

The pink backpack, I have always wanted. Even back home in Manila. The red handbag, I fell in love on sight. The red one I already used yesterday during the group "Pirates of the Carribean" movie date. Went nicely with the red shirt I had on. Hehehe...

Samsonite items were also on sale. I saw this nice backpack made for biking enthusiasts. I got one for my brother. A post birthday gift. I just hope he'll have good use for it.

It has a blinking light close to the bottom which can alert motorists that a biker is up ahead. Cool feature huh? ;)

Will just send it home to him when my Cookie comes on June.

At the Suntec Convention Center, a World Book Fair was also ongoing. We looked around and had my eye on this nice home improvement book about color schemes and combinations. I really thought it will come in handy in putting together our new flat. But my friends thought it was a bit too expensive at 40$, so with a broken heart, I had to let it go. I also looked around for a good scrapping book, but unfortunately, I didn't find any. But I did find a nice baking recipe book for my sister. Will send it home also through my Cookie. I hope she finds in useful in her baking classes. ;)

After a quick lunch at Pepper Lunch, April and I were off to check out some bed linen at Aussino. I picked these three. Hopefully, it will blend well with the blue walls of my room... Ugh! I can hardly imagine... :'(

I really, really, really hope it will work...

If you noticed, I stuck with my favorite color. At least, if I just couldn't stand the blue anymore, I have something nice in my room to stare at! Hahaha....

I can't wait for the next shopping trip. I still have a lot to spend for - pillows, some furniture for my room, some kitcen stuff. Hopefully there would be better deals in Ikea. Excited to see that famous place. Hehehe...
