Happy Shopping Day!
04/12/2003
Today was a good day. I slept in, and indulged myself. I finally peeled myself out of bed when the clock pointed 11am. and by 11.20am or so, I was ready to leave the house. And guess what, when I walked out the room and looked at the large clock – it was noon!
I ran and grabbed my stuff and realised that my colleague had called me twice in the morning. I called back frantically to say I would be in soon. Eek.
Then I left the office at 6.30pm cos I was going to meet Lee Hsin. We went to the Robinson’s sale at Centrepoint. Bad move. It was so crowded (with aunties, no less). However, she bought some stuff and I finally got a peppermill. It’s a WMF one, originally priced at S$29.90 (a little steep). It’s one of the Ceramill grinders – no prizes for guessing – the mill is ceramic. It comes with a 10-year warranty. Although I wouldn’t know where to go to make good on it. But anyway. Its price was reduced to S$15 so I picked up both a pepper and salt mill. It’s the same thing, except the design says Pepper or Salt in german on the glass part. And I got another 20% off that reduced price since I’m special (a Robinson’s Card Holder) so I am really pleased with myself.
We went to HMV, they rearranged stuff. The level where the DVDs were didn’t have the DVDs anyway. In any case, I was looking for a CD of tango tunes, but hadn’t the first clue where to start. That usually ensures you get a lot of stuff or nothing. Thankfully this time I walked off with nothing.
After Lee Hsin dropped me home (we walked around for quite a bit) I was ready to call it a day, when KF said he wanted to go to the arcade. So we headed down to Clarke Quay (where our favourite arcade is) to play a few rounds of Time Crisis 2. I sucked at it today. Lost all my lives before the first stage ended. After spending 2 dollars on it, I got fed up and went to play that Pod Racer game. Sucked at that too. Got retired because I was too slow.
So I hit the trusty Daytona 2 machines. Lovely. I had the third highest score on that particular machine. I spelt my name wrong though. Then KF joined me at the Daytona 2 machine a bit later. We raced and he lost to me 6 times in a row. He wasn’t as amused as I was.
