Weekend With Dear Away at Bintan

Dear went to Bintan for his unit trip from Friday till Sunday…. It’s was a “boring” weekend without him around but I managed to do quite a bit of things by myself…

How I Spent My Weekend with Dear in Bintan…
(1) Hougang Mall Visit
Visited the new Hougang Mall with sis on Friday night… the mall was totally revamped… I almost could not believe what I saw.. it’s something like Bishan Junction 8 but it is definitely much smaller in scale… but though small, I think it has almost everything… bought new cloths there too cos it’s on 20% discount… hee hee hee

(2) Cross Stitch
Bought a cross stitch from Hougang Mall too… it’s very cheap… S$2 per packet and it come with the cross stitch clothe, needle and color threads…. The picture is that of a young, precious moment look alike couple… the girl is sitting on the luggage with the guy beside him… Spent Fri Night doing up a small, small fraction of cross stitch… will post it on the blog after I’m done… ke ke ke , but not sure when that day will come.. especially with all the wedding preparation in the way.. well, think I’ll try to do small bit by small bit when free…

(3) Wedding Montage
Spent quite some time on Saturday doing up the montage pics… phew, it’s hard work I tell u man… all those photos selection (must eliminate those ugly ones.. hee hee) , photos scanning… designing… and adjusting the size, cropping everything… just one word to describe… “XIONG”… but once a life time doing the wedding montage… will definitely enjoy the tedious process… hope to be like lin ling… keep doing this, even for our future kids… image doing up a DVD with my baby photos… dear baby photos… and our baby’s baby photos…it’ll be so adorable…

(4) Lunch with Buddies of 6
Went out for lunch with my grp of best buddies. Initially there are 6 of us but now left 4… Xia Xia is in US with her hubby who is posted there for 2 yrs to work… Cindy, who has long “lost contact” with her already.. always ask her out but she not free.. too busy with her church thingy…so now only left the 4 of us.. but Xia Xia coming back soon.. for my wedding to be the Jie Mei… xia, miss u =P

We had lunch at Soup Restaurant at Hougang Mall (suggested that place cos wanna to try the new restaurants there, but in the end, my frenz chose this over the new ones…) I arrived late cos went to pick up the car 1st… my frenzs thought dear joining cos I forgot to tell them and there ordered quite a number of dishes (well, cos u know my dear big eater mah)… luckily they didn’t submit the order yet…or else how can we finish the food…Lunch was gd… we ended with ice cream from Natural Gelare… yummy yummy…

(5) Long Drive to Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal
Went to pick up dear on Sunday afternoon…. 1st time I drove so far out in Singapore… but I determined to do it this time… anyway, the ferry terminal is so near my wkplace and I know the rd to my wkplace so well… set off at abt 330… reached the terminal at abt 4pm… it’s a long journey, especially the long stretch of Changi Coastal Road… no car and yet speed limit is 70km/hr… I went at 80… hee hee hee…it is such an accomplishment for me… 3 cheers to myself.. HIP HIP HURRAY…
