Princess, Dearie & 1/2 Singapore.

A year since I met Princess Di. With the school term holidays going on this week, we had lunch @ Banquet Jurong Point. I couldn't help smiling when I read her sms "I'm out. Wearing my track pants. Very slack." Work as a teacher must be so stressful that she's behaving that way. =)

For over an hour, we sat smack in the middle of Banquet enjoying our lunch. Definitely nice. Both of us used to be so nuts. We would travel all the way to Jurong Point solely to eat together in Banquet every week!

I spent the next couple of hours going around Jurong Point in search of a photocopying service. Princess Di left to meet her aunt & cuz. Finally I surrendered & sent another sms to her. Seems like that was the only shop. Whatever it is, I'm not photocopying there next time. =P Expensive.

Left JP, took MRT & alighted @ Orchard station. Entered C.K Tang and dropped my sick Palmy. There was an ongoing sale... and major renovation. I didn't mind making one round to reach the escalator. But I got too distracted. Ended escalating up & down between the 2nd & 3rd floor. Sheesh! Quickly took the lift before I die from sheer blur-ism.

Friday @ 5.30pm and Orchard was stirring up. Busy as always yet I could still afford to walk without jostling or bumping into the crowd. Missed Dearie's call twice! Our appointment was @ 6.15pm in Bugis.

By then, I had walked to Specialists' Shopping Centre. Took MRT and met Dearie in City Hall station. We went to NTUC House. I read the papers while Dearie settled some stuffs. Both were in the mood to walk. We walked out of NTUC House to Little India. Fulfilled my cravings for Poori & Badham ! =)

Took another long walk to Mustafa Centre. Visited the vcd shop. Both guys smiled. I was asked "Where's your other fren?" Sigh... One of these days must go there with Minah. Hahah! One was persuading me to buy 'Lakshya' because of Hrithik, the other was showing me 'Mujhse Shaadi Karoge' with the movie & song blaring at my ears. I think Dearie had a culture shock seeing all those explicit dance items. Poor Dearie.

Walking has never posed a problem for me. Yet for unknown reasons, my feet were aching badly. Couldn't even walk to the bus stop properly. For the first time, Dearie & I departed in front of Tekka Mall. Got worse when I had to stand all the way home in the bus. Both legs completely crammed & jammed up.

Better head to bed early tonight. Sweet dreams!
