I gotta feeling..WooHooo, that tonight's gonna be a good night, that tonight's gonna be a good good night...........that tonite is going to be a good good nite, singing to the tune of Black Eyed Peas. Yes, indeed!
I begin my day on this Xmas Day with, a date with Ili at MacDonald's. It wasnt really a fixed date. I wanted to deposit and transfer monies from my Citibank to DBS account. If I were to do it online it will take 3 working days to literally have those monies transferred. Citibank atm machines are exclusively very remote, whereas our friend DBS' atm machines can be found at every major shopping mall - everywhere and anywhere! So, with atm machines available, you'll need an atm card, right? You know what, after I have deposited my money, walk a few metres away, forgotten to retrieve my card, went back only to a hungry machine that has just eaten up my atm card!
Ili wants to have breakfast at MacDonald's - sausage + pancakes are her favourite. Thus, the date. Told her to wait for awhile there while I check on my card stats again, knowing that I may not get it back, I called the bank to report loss of my atm card. Got Nylie and Dyna breakfast too. Forgotten all about the man of the house....
Beyond the morning incident, positively speaking, today's event was awesome.! We get to walk on otherwise very heavy traffic, busy road of Orchard Road. Despite the gloomy weather, the occasional showers and thunders at Orchard Boulevard, and I think it could be all over Singapore for that matter; it does not dampened our spirits to shop @ Ion and walk down the road of Orchard Turn and Orchard Boulevard.
We left Woodlands at around 1500hrs or slightly earlier because Uyop got stuck at the mosque, dont really know what happened there. Reached Ion pretty fast. The road traffic was easy; very kind to us indeed because we dislike the usual heavy, rough CTE traffic. You wouldnt want to be caught in the rush hour traffic. It can be pretty bad.
Head straight to Levi's that is located at B2 but looking for the direction was a struggle and now we're talking about human traffic. It's amazing how we got through that..or did I mentioned, there were people dancing on the road, look a bit of a sight. The queue to get in the changing room were somewhat a challenge too. Each one of us except Dyna, got ourselves a Levi's jeans.
Friends told us, the Xmas tree at Ion was not to be missed. We did the last time we went to Orchard for some photo taking. So this time, we were at Borders Bookshop-Wheelock Place, when I saw that stunning Xmas Tree and remembered Jo-Anne told me about what happened under the Xmas Tree when she went there with Mitchell, Vanessa and two other kids from the condo. It was hilarious but I shall not dwell on that, lest I miss the humorous details.
Took some shots - not impressive as it was drizzling. Walked a while and went to Far East Plaza for our early dinner. It was nothing compared to what we had last nite, it feeds the hungry people, nonetheless.
Tonite was indeed a good nite; exhilarating, exhausting, extremely exhausting but worth it. A day I would not trade spending with anyone else but my precious ones.
Hope you did too.
