It's a SUNDAE!!

My weekend was a mad one. I realised how little time I have on hand and yet, so many things to do.


1) ARMY MARKET

I had to rush to Army market to get some of my uniforms sewn. Got to do up the nametags, sew on the "SINGAPORE" tag, sew on my Unit emblem on the collar and also on my sleeve. Those making those nametags and sewing of stuffs on my uniform alone cost me $20+! I was a little shocked.... all along I thought such things are quite cheap. But no choice.... I need to get them done.


2) DAD'S B-DAY LUNCHIE

After the Army market... I had to meet up with my family for lunch to celebrate my dad's birthday. We went to Wah Lok Restaurant at Carlton Hotel for some Tim Sum lunchie.

We've been to Wah Lok for many times already. The food there was quite good. Note the word "WAS". Yah.... as with last Sunday, I've pretty much concluded that Wah Lok is not that fantastic as before. The staffs there got really busy, and the service quality dropped quite badly. They became very inattentive and impatient. My parents being very elderly... naturally becomes slow in ordering food. The staffs immediately said "You decide first then call me again later" in a very impatient tone. And worst is, it's the Captain who said that.

The food took a very long time to be served too. Some of our orders were totally forgotten and we had to remind them a few times. Much said.... this is really disappointing. Now we'll have to start looking out for other better places for family meals in the future.


3) ISSE'09 HIFI SHOW

I had about an hour to burn after leaving my clothes at the Army Market for sewing. Just nice for me to pop by the hifi show before I meet up with my family for lunch. I think this is my 4th time attending hifi shows.

It all started many years back at the age of 20, that was the time I attended my first hifi show held at Le Meridien Hotel. My sister being a musician herself, got totally mesmerized by the sound of high end system. And eventually, I was given an entry-level sound system as my 21st birthday gift, how nice! My first system was made up of Marantz cd player and amplifier, with Wharfedale speakers. The set-up was really nice... but now I'm on to my 3rd system upgrade, haha...


4) THIS IS IT!

This is it! I met up with my friend after the show to celebrate his birthday and also to catch the movie "This Is It" by MJ. The movie at Cathay was just great. Even though the whole show is produced using video footages of his up coming concert, the movie was very nicely put together and it felt like watching a documentary.

The whole experience was made even better by MJ's great music, and all the dancing. In fact, only after watching the show, then I realise how professional and passionate Michael Jackson is to his music. The kind of effort and passion that he put into producing his concert is truly amazing. He is really a great lost to the entertainment industry.



5) DINNER

Finally, my day wrapped up with dinner at Plaza Singapura's AJITEI. Food there isn't too bad...and wasn't expensive either. Quite a fulfilling Sunday albeit it feels like being very short (probably because my day was packed with plans!). Now I can't wait for my next book out!
