How I spent my precious few days of tai-tai-domAs you all may already know, I've moved on from StarHub and embarked on a new career. No it's not tai-tai-dom. You wish. And I lagi wish. Money doesn't grow on trees so unfortunately I still gotta slog my life away.
Nonetheless, I managed to get about a week's break in between jobs to try and relax and do some tai-tai activities. But there wasn't really enough time as CNY was just round the corner and I spent most of my time trying to do last minute shopping and spring cleaning. So I ended up even more tired than usual! Argh!
My first day off was spent going for my long-overdue medical checkup for my new job. Thereafter went to meet Queenie to go to Waterloo Street temple and some shopping. Then was bored so I spent the rest of my evening at Pearl's Centre queueing for Jin Pin Xiang bah kwa. I never knew I had so much patience but I queued for a good 2 hours. Luckily I had my iphone as my companion and I was actually MSN-ing until my batt died. Luckily it was my turn when it died on me haha. Anyway, the ba kwa is delicious, it has this layer of glistening syrupy gravy thingy that makes it extra yummy.
One of the days was spent shopping for clothes and miscellaneous stuff. Oh and I did my mani and pedi too. And on the day nearer to CNY eve, I actually went to the wet market to buy food for our CNY reunion steamboat at home! Omg, it's my first time alone at the market and I was super lost. I didn't know how to choose the pork, the squid, the prawns...I just asked the sellers to help so I don't know if they cheated me or not. But whatever la...it was an eye-opening experience and I survived...that's the most important! =p
The rest of the free days was spent stoning at home although I would love to do more of what is reflected below....having a cuppa with my iphone and watching the world go by...alas, I didn't have the luxury of time...sigh.....
it got me home
