I had the best Friday ever since i came back. Yesterday, my day started at 9am at K's office. We worked for half a day, then headed to the Takashimaya baby fair during lunch. I had wanted to go to the fair since it started late last month, but kept postponing it till now. We walked through the fair with my shopping list but left empty handed. I basically just jotted down the prices to compare. Will probably buy before the fair ends.
After our little baby fair experience, we headed to the new Ion Orchard to take a look see. Didn't manage to walk through the entire mall though. But we lingered for quite a while at the food hall level, where i sampled honey lemon tea, BBQ pork slices and lots of goodies from Bengawan Solo (cookies, my fave snow skin green tea mooncake, and pandan cake). The nice lady at the shop kept opening boxes of samples for me to try, and K had to ask her to stop before i finished all her samples! And yes, I finally got my Pandan cake yesterday! = )
I took the bus for the first time since i came back. K and I went from Orchard to Raffles Place where one of his serviced apartments were. K brought me on a mini tour of the condo and the apartment he was renting out, and i fell in love with the place. The viewing gallery actually had a direct view of the floating platform where the NDP is held every year. Which means residents get front row seats to view the fireworks. How nice..
After dinner, the gang decided to go for supper at this prata place in Botanical Gardens. We had a fantastic drive there, all 12 Miatas wheezing past each other with the tops down. I felt so happy and peaceful just enjoying the drive in the cool night breeze and looking at the full moon in the sky. And of course, enjoying the lovely view of all the gorgeous Miatas driving together on the roads.. As usual, we attracted a lot of attention, but luckily nobody got caught for speeding.. = )
I had banana roti prata and milo dinosaur for my supper.. Basically unhealthy, but totally wonderful.. haha..
THAT was definitely the perfect ending to my best Friday ever! = )

We went back to the office after that, and worked for a bit, before heading home to change and head out again for dinner with the Miata Club folks. Dinner was Tze Char at a hawker center in Jurong West that was next to a go-kart track operated by one of our club members. We had about 12 Miatas turned up for the gathering, and the food was delicious. It's been such a long long time since i met all of them. K and I were sort of the center of attraction, me being the pregnant woman and after being away for so long in NZ etc...
