Finally came to the part where I talk about the weekend before last!
My God! I am SUCH a PROCRASTINATOR... I can't believe it's been more than a week and I'm only writing about it now...

The weekend before last was my official sushi weekend. Went with Xinrong and Zhixian to town again on that Saturday. Remember that day when I went out with them and Rurus to sing karaoke. Zhixian had spotted this tankini that she quite liked but couldn't really decide whether to buy or not. Had to rush off for tuition that day but not before we arranged to pop down again to decide whether to buy it or not.
Asked Rurus along but she couldn't make it. In the end the three of us winded up eating sushi buffet at Suki Sushi. Was really not bad, had so much fun and laughter I think I kind of scared the Japanese uncle sitting at the table behind us. *chuckles*
Oh! Oh! Before I forget, I passed the evaluation for my Final Theory for driving!! I got 100 marks! Whoppee! I can't even recall when was the last time I had a grade anywhere near there. The thrill of doing well... Ah..... Now I'll just have to pass my Basic Theory Test tomorrow and I can book for my Final Theory and be rid of the studying part of it all. ;p
We walked around the whole day after makan and Zhixian ended up buying a bikini in Espirit instead. The tankini's colours, I personally felt, were just a bit dull for her. The bright and sunshiny one she got really suits her better somehow. =)
Went to G2000 to get Xinrong her office apparel, then we chanced upon a Shape Singapore roadshow. They were offering free makeup. They just had to get the magazine and hand in the form, then wear the Bossini apparel and take a picture. I must say the makeup artist is really good! Their makeup really was very glamorous! I couldn't stop looking at Xinrong's eyes. The makeup was just so... hypnotic.... Didn't try it myself, glad to a certain extent really. Don't think there was anything there of my size but it would have been fun to see what I could end up looking like........

The next day I rushed about after morning tuition to get the remaining stuff I had to buy to make up Jiahui's birthday package. Xinrong still had a bit of her apparel to buy so we met up at Causeway Point with Zhixian and walked about in search of a bottom to match the shirt Zhixian bought and the jacket suit Xinrong was looking out for. At the same time I moved along rapidly to pick up what I could in Woodlands cause I had recced for her gift earlier. Her gift consisted of a red pen, a cushion, a notebook, a chocolate bar and a cane. Yup, that's right, a cane, as in the one that mothers used to use to beat their children. No worries, I'm not encouraging corporal punishment now that she's advancing to NIE, have got reasons for why I chose these gifts.
Red pen (I feel so damn apologetic, in the end I forgot to bao1 it in with the rest of the stuff): To make big red crosses on the students' work when they don't do their work properly
Cushion: Used for hugging when upset or to use as a cushion when in danger of getting a backache
Notebook: Used to write down notes, can be used as journal, good for venting purposes really
Cane: To wave around at home in times of frustration when the kids are getting too much
Chocolate: In case the above gifts are not acceptable, here's a universal gift that should be quite acceptable. My Aunt thought it could be used to sweeten Jiahui up when she's feeling down as well. =)
Peixuan bought a really interesting gift with amusement in mind too. It was a woodpecker that would peck down a pole when one touched it. Really fun gift! I should go to that store she mentioned in Raffles City one day and have a look for myself...
We ate at the Genki Sushi Tokyo Dining. Interesting place really, got very good ambience and looked to be pretty expensive but ended up being still quite affordable. Still, would probably prefer Suki Sushi to it, maybe cause it didn't look to be as high class and it made me feel more relaxed. The fact that it was a buffet also helped I guess, made me less worried about chalking up an expensive bill... *guilty and embarrassed*
In the end, we went to Pacific Coffee to sit down and chat. Love the settees! Still, I can't believe they are so inflexible. Do you know that they do not accept NETS? Isn't Nets the same as cash?! What is a person like me, who has forgotten to draw money, to do when they don't receive nets or my Masters since my purchase was too small? Luckily, Jiahui and Peixuan came to my rescue or it would have been awfully embarrassing and ugly. That is the whole reason why we can never be rid of paper money as there are still merchants out there who refuse to receive anything other than the real thing...
Next would be Peixuan's birthday, that's going to be even more tricky than Jiahui's birthday, better start cracking my head before it's late again....
Side note: Am progressively chalking up my 18 signatures for my POSB debit card. Once I've gotten those 18 I think I can relax and stop making purchases everywhere...I
