R&R
Day started off rather early. Went to ICA building at 7.45 to get my biometric passport for the US trip. Doors opened at 8 and I was done and out by 8.15. Really efficient.
Went to Marina Square for a leisurely breakfast at Swensens. Upon receiving the bill, saw that it was only $4. o.0 Apparently the staff key wrongly. Went back to pay the remainder. Not too sure if it was a good thing considering it got that staff into trouble. Oh no....
Popped by Prints and spent rather long picking and choosing my paper product to buy. Everything was so beautiful. splurged on a $24 red folder made of fabric. Badly wanted to buy this box of colored paper for $32 but that was outta budget.
Nipped off to Bishan to bind some notes before going to Vivo city for a more economical lunch at Kopitiam. Dropped by Candy Palace and bought some new flavours of Ritter Sport. Spent 2 more of my free tickets on a movie: The Forbidden Kingdom. Here's my take on it:
Personally, I felt it was too fast. The storyline/plot was so straightforward and rather flat or even corny. Lots of fighting scenes that became rather dreary. The white witch and swallow were rather interesting characters that I felt could be further developed. Esp. the white witch. Perhaps a bit more background about her and why she was working for the Jade Warlord or how she knew Swallow.
While waiting for the movie, indulged myself in Haagen Dazs. Blew $38. Mango sobert, coffee and vanilla ice-cream were delicious. Hmmm.
Wanted to go to a Jap restaurant for dinner but due to budget constrains, ended up at Hans. Food wasn't really nice.
Rather relaxed day. Would have to make up for it with a whole day of work tomorrow. =(
