Meeting, Shopping & Eating

Woke up at 7.30am today though it’s a Saturday as we’ve a company event at Trader’s Hotel. I was so afraid that I’ll be late as an email has been sent out informing us to be punctual and to be seated by 10.30am.

I took the train and reached Orchard at 9.15am which was too early. Therefore, I had my “morning walk” from the train station to Trader’s Hotel. It was quite a wrong choice as it was quite humid today...

The whole thing ended at 1.30pm. after which Janice and I went shopping!!! We proceeded to Thai Embassy 1st as they’ve a fair there and I bought 3 crochet flowers and a rubber hair band for a total of $5. (saw it selling for $8 each in a shop @ Heeren, with pins attached) The lady there was so funny, we were asking her why does some flowers do not come with the pin and she started to reply to us in Thai. We then repeated our question in English and slower so as to let us know that we’re actually repeating the question as we do not understand what she’s talking about. For the next 2 minutes, she continued in Thai. Luckily, the stall owner beside her helped us translate else we’ll get stuck there not knowing how she is going to charge me for the 4 items.

We then shopped along Orchard before taking a free shuttle bus down to Marina Square. There were so many trendy shops in Marina, however I cant really concentrate shopping as my feet hurts from the new shoe that I wore.

Dinner was at Carl’s Jr. Though we shared the meal, it was very filling as the servings were big. I’ve always wanted to try Carl’s Jr since the opened last year and finally I got the chance to eat it. Verdict - the burger tastes like Burger King’s but the cheesy beef fries were rather special.
