Appreciate ME now & avoid the rush later: My weekend is over oh-so-fast!!!

中秋节快乐!!! =)

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!!!

To be honest, I dun feel anything in this particular festival. Prolly because i'm all grown-up and no longer feel the excitement of playing with lanterns and candles and whatsnot.

But I can still remember when I was young, I'd always go to my ah ma's house and play with fire, oops, I mean candles/lanterns at the small mini park downstairs with all my little cousins.

Now?

"Huh? Today is zhong qiu jie meh?"

*hahah*

Seriously, I have no idea. It's when friends started sending me 'Happy mid-autumn day' messages then I recalled it's the time of the year to eat mooncakes.

Anyway, I didnt celebrate this year's MAF (but my mum did. She 'decorated' our hse's balcony by hanging lanterns from the ceiling. Cute.)

Instead I went out with lustylester to prepare a surprise 'party' for our dear dear long time friend, Moley Phua.

I really have to say this here first.

Lustylester, pls help me a HUGE HUGE THANK YOU to your lovely and generous parents for giving me a treat, ya! I feel so pai seh for not paying lah!

Cos his parents open a chicken rice stall at Bedok Interchange (stall's name is Serena, beside the carpark only), and I was saying how much I miss their chicken rice and whether I can go eat it...

People, I am serious. Serena's chicken rice is fricking nice. Smooth but juicy chicken, full of Q-ness char siew, very-the-fragrant rice, sweet-tasting soup, lovely dark sweet sauce and tantalizing chili sauce... *slurpz*

Just the thought of it is enough to make me drool! =)

Pls pls pls go support SERENA!!! I repeat, it's at the hawker centre beside Bedok interchange, and the stall is facing the carpark. You can definitely locate it, cos the signboard is so eye-catching! Be careful, the queue can get long at times! *hehs*

After the fulfiling lunch, we headed straight for bugis in search of Moley Phua's present.

Topshop, Dorothy Perkins, M)phosis, Accessorize - bleah.

Finally saw something nice at Espirit, and I think she'll like it. So we got the brown sling bag for her (I was so tempted to get one for myself too! Cos it's pretty!)

And when her present was finally settled, it's time to search for lester's Ray-Ban glasses.

I tell you, this friend of mine is so hiao until he owns FIVE fricking pairs of Ray-Ban sunglasses (almost all are same design but different coloured frames/lenses) and it's still counting.

He wanna get one pair of specs that is plastic-framed, black in colour, squarish, but with no degrees (cos he did lasik but just want to act high-fashion), and die die must be RAY-BAN.

So bo bian...we went to Golden Landmark first and to no avail.

Then to chinatown to get my KOSE mask, and I saw my comm. skills tutor there! Didnt call him, though. *hehs*

While we were searching for the shop that offers cheaper prices for KOSE masks, we heard a woman yell damn loudly, and then followed by a man.

All other patrons stopped whatever they were doing and looked around for the source of the commotion.

I tell you, the man was shouting bloody fiercely lah! Almost like he wanna kill somebody can! Scary.

Got the mask at $28, as compared to the KOSE counters at departmental stores that sell it at $35!!!

It's so much cheaper to buy from chinatown lah! *tsk tsk*

After which, we walked and walked in search of his Ray-Ban specs. But most of the optical shops do not carry it. Poor you. Maybe it's a sign telling you NOT TO BUY ANY MORE RAY-BANs forever and ever!

I was rather tired from all the walk, so we decided to go to Sha's house and give her the surprise.

Waiting for train...

Got a tasty hazelnut cake from Prima Deli, a funky birthday card from Popular, lighters and paper towels from Value Shop at Eastpoint, and off we go!

And then it rained. Troublesome rain.

Wrote the card at the bus stop. *hehs* We are really yong xin liang ku loh!

Called Moley aka Shalyn and demanded her to come down to fetch us in. Why? Cos she lived in condo loh~ Act high class only. *hahah*

The cake, which we finished all by ourselves. Amazing.

She's all so smiley! So I'd take it she's appreciative of our efforts and the element of 'surprise'.

We held the mini celebration under one of the semi-covered walkway cos all the sheltered huts were occupied by other people. So pathetic lah. ("YOU CALL THIS A CONDO? I DUN BELIEVE IT!" - Lester's criticism)

And then it rained heavily again.

So no choice, we had to run for shelter, and we took refuge in the function room.

Being The Gossipy, of course we have to carry out the group's mission, which is to gossip about others. *hehs*

So fun.

Lester with his legs like this, which kenna a 'scolding' from the security guard. *tsk tsk*
