A short getaway...

The benevolent OC decides that we should go 50-50 with the recruits this weekend meaning that half the commanders stay back on Saturday, the other half stays back on Sunday. I volunteered to stay back on Saturday as I wanted to take leave on Monday. Which is why I am blogging now on a Monday afternoon. Woohoo.

With that, I at least manage to spend a decent amount of time with the already-very-busy princess. Poor thing. Got caught up between her work attachments, tons of reports and countless choir christmas carolling practices and performances. Yet she managed to squeeze a Sunday afternoon for me. You're the best girl!

We wasted no time by quickly going to Suntec City to soak in the Christmas shopping atmosphere. I wanted to watch Chicken Little by there was not enough tme as the princess has a scheduled rformance in the evening. Bah. We went to NYDC! Haven been there for ages. Besides ordering the usual Elephantchinnos and potato salad, XinYi wanted to try a new cake called the "Boo Boo". It was really weird conversing with our friendly waiter. "Can I have a slice of Boo Boo please?" Hahaha. What on earth... But our waiter remained expressionless as he took our orders.

The Boo Boo turned out to be a slice of Chocolate cake! Topped in dark chocolate and accompanied with creamed sugar! Very indulging indeed. That was our after lunch snack. Was feeling rich as I have my pay raise! Didnt realise that there was a pay raise for being a "second year specialist". Woohoo. Anyway it is only 40 dollars more a month. But hey who minds?

We then went to Millenia Walk for guess wad?

Taa-Daa...........

Yup the recalcitrant chocolate fan did it again. I couldn't resist dropping by Candy Empire since I am in City Hall. And I was only after one thing this time. Yogurettes!!!! The last time we came it was out of stock. and there was not much left when we were there.So I quickly swiped four boxes of it off the shelves. 3 for me and one for the princess! Hahaha.See? I am so selfless. That set me back by almost 16 bucks already. Sheesh. Indulgences comes with a hefty price.

There also was a gigantic Christmas tree there built from lego! Must go and check it out too. Too bad I didnt bring my camera. Indeed the Christmas atmosphere is beginning to set. And I just love it!

Ok I'll stop abruptly for now. Something important cropped up. Be back again on Christmas!!!
