Busy weekend

Saturday - Christmas gift exchange gift shopping at Orchard

Had lunch at Sun with Moon with Teddy Chua. Been sometime since we last went there. They had a special Christmas dessert which was very nicely decorated and tasted good too. For one of my dishes, there was a fine strand of hair on the veggie so I told the waiter about it. She informed the manager and he came to apologise. He offered us a free tofu cheesecake as compensation and also another additional 10% discount besides my card. We walked down Orchard Road to enjoy the Christmas decor and floats as they blocked the whole Orchard Road. We went to *scape to take a look at the flea market. There were very few stalls and it soon poured when we were about to leave the building. We decided to go to Cineleisure, ION and then head to Plaza Singapura. I went to check out the toy catcher machines in Cineleisure. Tried to get Rilakkuma small soft toy from the UFO machine. Managed to get 3 dolls after spending abit. Can't remember how many $1 coins I've used. When we went to Plaza Singapura, I had to check out the toy catchers again. Decided to try to get Korilakkuma cushion as it's at the big machines and it's $1 per try. After trying 5 times, I got it! So lucky! So happy!
Teddy Chua arranged to meet up with his uni friend who's coming from Australia. He's a Malaysian working in Sydney. We had a very late dinner at Serangoon Gardens at the Chicken Rice Restaurant. We also went for dessert so I had hot ginger dumplings.

Sunday - Qian Hu Fish Farm & gathering

Brought Teddy's friend to Qian Hu Fish Farm after lunch at Jurong Point's Ding Tai Fung Restaurant. He likes to keep fishes as pets so brought him there to take a look. Saw quite a number of sting rays and they are very expensive! 1 pair for $5000! Almost comparable to arowanas! After visiting the fish farm, we dropped his friend off at Sembawang before going back to get Teddy's gift for the gathering. We also went to Werner's Oven to get the Xmas fruit cake. Teddy got me a donut that is pretzel shaped. It looks good! Reached Eu's house by 6pm. Had KFC and Canadian Pizza for dinner. Played Monopoly Deal where Teddy was teaching those who were new to it. Tried Wii, Rabbitz games and it was quite fun and created quite alot of laughter. During the gift exchange, I got Yifen's gift which was a towel and post it notes. Teddy got a red remote control car. Went back around 1030pm...quite tired...
