K and I spent nearly the whole day downtown today. I was basically tagging along with K on one of his customer and shop visits. K got an invitation to attend the official opening of HMV at 313 Somerset so i tagged along and went to 313 for the first time..
I had expected like a buffet spread at the opening but it was quite a disappointment. First of all, there was no buffet.. I had not taken lunch then and it was nearly 2pm.. All we got was a goodie bag with some lame stuff inside (2GB USB drive, HMV bear and $1 HMV voucher etc..) But there was a huge crowd gathered inside the store waiting for the special guest appearance of this Korean pop band called "T Max" or something. I don't even know who they are. So i walked around the DVD section and copied down all the interesting movies i can watch later on http://www.pipi.cn/ haha.. = )
By the time we were ready to leave the store, T Max had arrived so the staff there had sealed off the exit / entrance. So K and I got stuck inside the store for a while. And since i had nothing else to do, i decided to join in the crowd and waited to take pictures of T Max.. Didn't manage to get anything in the end.. (see second photo below) haha..
After the HMV extravanganza, K and I headed to the lobby and took pictures with Santa Claus and Santarina. The mall had arranged for free photo taking and instant photos (courtesy of Canon) for all shoppers, which i thought was really nice. Plus, for some reason, there was no queue!

We headed to Marche for my long awaited lunch after the photo taking.. Had ham and cheese crepe and rosti.. THAT was my first treat of the day... After being sick and staying at home for so many days and weeks, i was determined to myself and eat whatever i want. Plus, since i almost due, it doesn't really matter what i eat anymore.. hee hee..
After 313 Somerset was Central @ Clarke. There, while waiting for K to finish with his customer, i went and bought myself my favourite chocolate mini crossiant from Petit Provence. I had planned to get some Edamame to steam at home, but i couldn't find a decent Japanese supermarket that carries it. And i thought Central was aimed at the Japanese population in Singapore!
Our last stop was Marina Square... There, i had my last treat for the day while waiting for K: Chocolate and Banana nut ice cream on a cone from Andersen's.. It was kinda like i was eating to take revenge or something..
Oh boy, i am so satisfied today! = )
