It took me a great deal of self-control to only get started on the GSS yesterday. I haven’t been very kind to my wallet recently but how can we resist the discounts? 
Before I start bombard you with photos of my hauls, let me raved about this new Chinese restaurant Mum and I went for lunch yesterday. We were contemplating whether to head to Crystal Jade or Nanxiang Steamed Bun Restaurant. We ended up eating at the latter mainly because of the Set Lunch Weekdays Promotion at S$27.90 for 2 pax, it’s something like a 5 course lunch with selections of cold dish, appetizer, meat, rice, noodles etc and there were 6 dishes in total. The bill totalled up to about S$34 after including the towels, tea & GST.
I thought it was a bargain considering the food was pretty good! Much much better than the branch at Bugis which I’ve visited quite some time ago and was not impressed at all. However, this new branch at Plaza Singapura is certainly worth a try!

My first loot of the day – a stuffed toy much to the dismay of my Dad. He’s no fan of my huge collection of toys. Anyway, Pinky was on sale at 50% off yesterday and it wasn’t the first time he caught my eye. I got to have him after looking at the price tags! He’s the most adorable stuffed cat ever. He’s a cat in case anyone is wondering and he has different patterns of fabric on both sides.

I went on a major shopping spree with Brenda today at Orchard. We were suppose to go Karaoke but Cherlynn was down with a bad sore throat so there was a change of plans. Hope you feel better soon Cherlynn, we shall go sing again when you are well! 
Shall let the photos do the talking as I’m extremely tired and sleepy now.

Takashimaya Beary Christmas Trees 2010
This is Takashimaya’s “Beary Christmas Tree 2010″. I prefer the 2009 version though. It’s prettier with the golden bells (see photo below taken last December).

Fun, laughter, jokes and embarrassment are what you get if you put 4 girls (who are all bloggers) together. I meet up with some fellow Singapore bloggers, Ivy, Brenda and Cherlynn last Saturday during our monthly meetup session. Terry, our wonderful organiser couldn’t make it because he was sick. With one more guy, it would be a blast! We miss you Terry, hope you get well soon. We meet up at Relax Bistro at Somerset 313 for lunch and here’s a peek of what we had.
Delicious looking soup

Cherlynn is totally (not) camera-shy!
After a hearty lunch, Brenda suggested going to the flea market near by. As I’ve never been to a flea market, I gladly agreed, so did the rest of the girls. The last time I tried to go to a flea market, I spend 2 hours trying to find my way, got lost and never made it there in the end.
Come to think of it, I’ve done a couple of things I’ve never done before that day. I have never withdraw cash from an ATM machine nor have I ever been to a flea market before Saturday. I can explain myself. Let me see, the probability of Dayna losing her wallet is 10% and the probability that she will drop some cash when she opens her wallet is 30% which is about 40% in total and this is considered high risk. To mitigate the financial risk, it’s safer for her to bring lesser cash when she leaves the house. Sounds cool? 
Since it was my first time, I thought it was normal that I inserted the card in the wrong direction! Ivy helped me on that and Brenda even conducted an interview with me. I feel grown up to have finally used the ATM machine (lol).
