Mum's annual gathering with her ex-sch mates meant that it's a sisters' day out for us. Had to attend my last piano lesson with Mr Ng while Ying waited patiently before our Sun "adventure" begins...

10:45 Sisters spotted window-shopping at Plaza Sg several clothing & gift outlets, checking out new items, observing the Sunday crowd, deftly avoiding Bodyshop Sale sign thereby resisting temptations to enter into the "start buying mode"

12:00 Decided to "fuel up" at Ichiban Boshi & enjoy some chatting before the real fun begins

13:25 Walked down to Takashimaya, observing the Great Singapore Sale customer draws along the way. *embaressing moment: saw a guy's retractable clip fell frm his pocket, bent down to pick up but huge bag bumped into another guy who was too close on my left...had to apologise & quicken my pace to tap 1st guy to return his clip cos he had his headphones on. Noted 2 men trying to capture orchard road images using highly sophisticated digital camera perched on tripods, Ying analyze might be for a nearby Canon digicam promotion booth

13:40 Sheltered from downpour in the comfort of Ngee Ann City & library...fascinated by showcase of photojournals by youths on projects overseas (YEP), creative approach of letting public to rearrange different photoshots on the main storyboard. Kinokuniya's stationary section & Sanrio's corner in Taka was not to be missed.

15:00 Ying game to walk all the way to Cityhall & the sight-seeing begins ^_^

16:10 Reached SAM, decided to check out the galleries...didn't regret the visit cos the "Blink!" exhibition showcased very creative & interesting art pieces...had lotsa fun taking shots using Ying's hp.

17:30 Met Mum at Cityhall control station, headed for dinner @ Suntec's 品味小吃

18:45 Enjoyed the night scenery at Fountain of Wealth while Mum & sis savor Swenson's yam ice-cream (resisted the temptation)

20:15 Home Sweet Home
