Zinc reminded me to blog about how I celebrated my birthday weekend, which I said I would but totally forgot! (Thanks Zinc) So I tried to recall how that day went, but... the memories sort of floated by in a mist... I think the pregnancy is making me even more forgetful than I already am! Oops~ Haha..
I tried to ask Cobby, but we couldn't agree on some parts of the day's events. So since it's MY blog, I shall enter according to whatever I can remember. Hahaha...
13 September 2008:
Breakfast - Can't remember where or what, but I'm sure we went out to eat, cause I would have wanted that.
Went to Takashimaya to buy mooncake but all the type we liked was sold out! Ended up buying the fried yam type with the flaky pastry skin - Just as yummy!
Part of going to Orchard was to look at baby cots too. After looking at the pathetic range at Taka, gave up and messaged several girlfriends who had babies or at least bought baby stuff before. Within minutes, received loads of fantastic advise and calls on where to go and what to look out for. Thank you all! *Touched*
Walked over to Robinsons and found a whole floor of baby, mommy and children products! Fantastic! Good place to look at what's available, but it's a little expensive.
Next location was even better! Marl and some other friends recommended this Baby's Hyperstore. When we got there, there was not one but two outlets there! It's at Shun Li Industrial Park at Kaki Bukit Avenue 1, and they sell all sorts of baby cots, prams and car seats from many different brands! And they sell them cheap too! So exciting... We havn't done any homework on what we wanted yet, so we'll probably come back again when we're ready!
By the time we left it was almost dark, so we decided to drive to Geylang and have dinner at the Geylang Serai. We've always watched recommendations of the yummy nasi padang stalls at the food centre there, but we've never been there before! So we thought we'll just go there and find the stall ourselves. How difficult can that be?
Unfortunately, we TOTALLY forgot that Hari Raya was approaching, so we were greeted by the dazzling street lights, police directing traffic of all sorts and jam packed carparks. Luckily we managed to find a great parking lot within minutes! Lucky!
Soon we were walking inside the endless Pasar Malams. It was so wonderful! Our senses were going crazy! Every stall was filled beautiful garments, yummy looking cookies and pastries, house decorations. Stall owners were shouting out bargains, friends and family were laughing and saying hellos, music was blasting everywhere, there was even a procession of drums! A total explosion of the senses!!!
By 8.30pm, we were totally lost and couldn't find the food centre! Haha... Give up! Super hungry! So we got into the nearest restaurant and quickly ordered our dinner. Oh my gosh the beef rendang was so sedap! The restaurant was quite popular too and we were lucky to get the last few portions of the beef. Heehee...
By the time we finished dinner I was utterly exhausted! I wanna go home! But on the way back to the car we just couldn't resist buying some yummy looking, home-made pineapple tarts! They were a little expensive, ($16.00!) but when we took a bite, it was definitely worth it! The buttery crust and the pineapple filling was delicious!
So ends our day...
Running around Orchard Road and tasting all sorts of yummy mooncakes...
Looking at baby cots and prams reminded us that we were getting closer to welcoming our baby girl...
Visiting Geylang and soaking up the Raya festivities for the very first time!
