At The Shops

Grabbed the girlfriend out to get new sets of pyjamas and sleeping socks from Marks & Spencer at Wheelock Place and met SO MANY humans there. I literally ran into a familiar face every 5 steps. It's been a great day for hugs and random 5-sentence catch-ups. What's up, people?! Aren't you out of town enjoying the long weekend?!

Running into stylish mommy lilsnooze made me realize that I don't have a pair of Tory Burch flats in black, and it made me feel like buying one! Grrrrrr. I like those shoes. They're comfortable. Anyway, I was looking to replace some rough-tumble flats that died on me after 2 years of 'torture'. It wasn't something that had to be done immediately. It was more of 'if I come across something cool, I'll buy'. And I did! A pair of grungy Mary Janes from Dr.Martens followed me home. I insisted the shoes are blue. The girlfriend insisted that it's mint green. Whatevar! It's powder blue, I say!

At the pit-stop at the Robert Timms cafe adjoining Borders (hasn't closed down yet!), I was pleasantly surprised to find out that its flat white wasn't too bad. Not as full flavored as I would like, but quite decent. The apple crumble and vanilla bean ice-cream combo was surprisingly good. Not overly sweet and a little tart, the generous portions of apple slices were such an easy mid-afternoon bite.

We spent a good 5 minutes staring into the toy shop, dying of laughter at the pose of the figurines. If we had seen this 2 months ago, it wouldn't have been this hilarious. But to see this during this exciting period, it was just too corny. I think we were really loud. Other people walking by slowed to see what we were chortling at; they didn't have to ask what and why because they started laughing too. It made all of us laugh even harder. These people, confirm are Singaporeans. Hehehhehe.
