Summary of my weekend

Hit a wall trying to come up with tomorrow's biz feature so I shall write about my weekend...

Let's see...all I can remember of my weekend was that I coughed and sneezed like mad...slept 12 hours or more each on Friday and Saturday night to make up for my lack of sleep during the week.

Was plagued by the flu bug on Thursday...super groggy all Friday after downing medication...kinda floated through the day. Only redeeming factor was the super fun UOB Media Party at the end of it. Had a good time catching up with old friends and meeting new people.

Crashed into bed after showering and didn't wake up till 2pm the next day (ok i was woken by Rach at 9am but the medication knocked me out after that). Had lunch with mum n dad in front of the tv. Mum just subscribed to cable TV last Monday and both she n my dad are hooked onto the Asian Food Channel. Hopefully they pick up some really good recipes from there and cook up a feast for me soon. Oh ya, Godma & Godpa flew in from Australia on Friday, and they dropped in on us briefly.

If there's such thing called a itchy backside syndrome, I definitely have it. Despite coughing like I've got TB and my head spinning faster than a top, I actually managed to haul myself out of bed to go with Rach to the mega Ikea & Courts store at Tampines. To our surprise, both malls were pretty empty...we even managed to eat our favourite swedish meatballs n fried chicken wings @ Ikea without having to queue for a table at 530pm! I finally got my family our very first DVD player from Ikea... believe it or not...a multiregion player for just $49.90! There was a cheaper one going for $39.90 but it weighed a ton.

Talking about shopping the town down, our shopping rendevous (ok more of my mine since rach din get anything) didn't just end there....at 730pm, we actually decided to uproot ourselves from the east side of Singapore and travel all the way westwards to Queensway! I've been jogging in my ridiculous betty booper shoes for the last 2+ weeks so I decided it's high time I get proper running shoes b4 I end up having a bulging ankle.

Got to Queensway at 815pm and the moment I stepped into the first shop, I set my eyes upon the really pretty n very very light Adidas Chiba Pro running shoes! Too bad they didn't have my size so we moved on to the next shop and I wasted no time in getting it. Better still, it came with a 30% discount, so I only paid $90 for it. Love it! Can't wait to get better n start my jogging sessions again. Must say Queensway is a real treasure trove...will definitely go back for more.

Back to Sat, it was a pain getting home after Queensway since I live in the God foresaken part of Singapore called Sengkang... spent 2 hours trudging home on a bus... it's high time I go for a test drive n buy a car! Totally zonked out when I got home at 11 and didn't wake up 12pm the next day missing church for the 2nd week.... very very guilty....

Had lunch with mum n dad in front of the TV again and decided I should be a good girl n start tidying my desk since CNY is round the corner. It's amazing how much rubbish I can accumulate over a couple of months...threw away 3 bags full but my room still looks as cluttered as ever. Shall try again next weekend. Need to get new shelves too so that my 3 boxes full of stuffies can see daylight once again.

Highlight of the day....RAIN'S COMING concert! A friend had complimentary tix so I went with her to watch it. I've come to the conclusion that Rain is a dancing cyborg(neither did he sing very much nor have very much facial expression) and as merv says, the stage is definitely more interesting than him. Was very facinated by the stageworks n of cuz the fake rain n Rain's bare chest though. The whole concert seem more like a musical with a random plot. All in all, would say it's worth the lowest price ticket of 188 but definitely not 888.

That's the end of my weekend and also the end of my skiving... back to writing once again.....
