Happy Birthday Sister

Tuesday Ah Kai had an installation at Sim Lim Square and asked if I wanted to meet him for lunch as I also needed to get some CDRs. Met him at around 1145 then he went to did his installation while I just browsed around. Some of the shops are still not opened for business.

When to play some demo games at the shops. Soon Kai called to say he ended. Went the 6th floor to get 25 pcs of CDRs and went downstairs for lunch. He ordered Nasi Lemak and popiah while I ordered Suan La Mian. After our meal when the nearby shops to take a look at the watches. We wanted to get a pair of watch preferable G-shock for NS. Then went Bugis Casio to look at the shops, though they got more variety an avergage pair costs around $170. Went the model shop, Kinokuniya and left for home.

Today went down to Ang Mo Kio Industrial Park 2 to service my cordless phone. Checked their site and saw 88 from Ang Mo Kio interchange will reach the place. After reaching Ang Mo Kio bus interchange I DID NOT SEE THE DAMN 88. The bus driver bus 88 travels at the front of the mrt station which was some 400m away. It was already 4pm. Boarded the bus but didn't know where to alight. I stopped somewhere near the area and asked some people for the location, they also don't know.

Finally found the place, well their main door was servicing so I had to enter through the back door. This part looks like a storeroom size of a 3 room flat. Boxes of the cordless phone and handsets are stacked nicely. Some of the boxes had many discarded or spoilt handsets. A guy attended to me and told me to wait. Soon later a lady ushered me to the front door. Finally a waiting room that has a small counter, a large sofa for customers to sit and some newly released products. They are mainly dealing with cordless phones for home and office. My phone was ready and I left the place.

Took bus 72 which ended at Yio Chu Kang Mrt Station. On the way saw NYP. You can call me mountain tortise but it is Majestic. Took bus 70 home long journey around 1h. Reached home and found my back aching due to long journey on the bus. Around 1930 left for Parkway with my sister and mother to celebrate my sister birthday.

She wanted to eat "Earthquake" a type of icecream by Swensens. The last time I had Swensens was about 2 yrs ago when my poly year 1 friend gave me a surprise treat. The waiter ushered us to our seats. My sister ordered Crayfish Pasta, my mom ordered Curry Chicken Baked Rice and Chef's Salad while I ordered Chicken baked rice in white sauce. As my mother and I ordered Baked rice meals, we were given a complimentary free vanilla coke float. A glass of coke topped with vanilla icecream. They also had a promotion for birthday treat. A free complimentary icecream "Firehouse" consisting of vanilla, starwberry and chocolate icecream.
