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).

I know this post title is very unoriginal but all the Audit stuff in my brain is killing my creative cells so you will just have to make do with it. I have actually lost a bit of motivation after reading Terry’s detailed post about our meet-up with Brenda last Saturday but since I’ve decided to blog more this year, I wrote a post about it. I take no credit for all the gorgeous photos of the food. I took the photos from Terry because mine turned out to be quite horrible. Perhaps I was too eager to start on the food and didn’t have the patience to take good photographs of them.

I didn’t tried the steak like the previous time because I didn’t want an overly cooked steak and to avoid chalking up the bill. We had the usual dose of mushrooms and Terry has carrots as well. Coincidentally, both Brenda and I aren’t a fan of vegetables.
I tried the Seabass fillet and I had to say they aren’t really up to my expectation. Even the brownies aren’t as great as the last time. It has almonds in it which taste weird when I’m having it with vanilla ice cream. Almonds and ice cream just doesn’t seem to go well together.
