Rockin around the shopping centres

These past weeks had been pretty fun.

On the next day after my last paper, 10th December, my father was going to take us to the newly opened 313 @ Somerset.

My brother and I were to take the MRT and meet my father there.

Was I because I was ill the couple of days before or due to some dire problems I have no idea of or hypoglycemia? Suddenly, in the middle of the ride, I started to break out in cold sweat and then for a while my vision turned black, I could hardly see my brother's face and the other things in the MRT. I was sure that my face must have turned ashen. I was really afraid I'm going to faint in the train, and not only was that embarrassing, but horrible.

In the end, with my brother in tow, I alighted at Orchard MRT station, one station before Somerset and went in search of toilet as I felt like puking. Went to Wheelock Place, a similar place to me and was starting to feel fine. However, I didn't want to risk another encounter like that ever so I wanted to go home. By then, my father still haven't arrive.

Finally, I wanted to get some sugar into me and was thinking of nursing a glass of cold, sugary drink. My better judgement got hold of me so I ordered a cup of hot chocolate instead. I was still feeling weak and mortified.

Walked around Borders for a while because my father said he would be there in half-an-hour. I was already alright and we had lunch at Sakae Sushi. Next, we went to our destination as planned.

313 @ Somerset wasn't officially opened since there are so many shops still under closed doors. But, I still had fun. Tried out the Cold Rock creamery, it is good. I was planning to buy my Christmas present at Esprit but the bag I wanted was out of stock.

We then went to Marina Square to try our luck. The bag I originally wanted didn't look so nice after a second glance. So, I bought another model.

As the car was parked at Suntec City, we walked around Suntec City for a bit. We saw that the Ralph Lauren store was having a up to 70% sales and went in. Wow, it's full of people though no clothes caught my eye.

We were going to come back on Saturday and asked my mother to check it out.

Went back on Saturday and was shocked that almost all the clothes were gone. All that's let was children clothing and some loose pieces.

The week after, my father and mother took leave and we went for a day's tour in Singapore. Since we are not going anywhere for the holidays. In the end, we hung around VivoCity for the whole day.
-
Watched Planet 51 in the afternoon. It is a pretty funny movie, very nicely done with a different plot.
-
Ate an early dinner at Earle's Swensens. Still didn't really like it. I prefer the normal Swensens.
-
We then went to buy our presents for the other person we had randomly picked.
-
By nighttime, we were tired and our original plan to visit Night Safari ended up not being fulfilled.
-
It was a good day for me.

Mother's bday & twilight-related stuff

Went to Changi Airport Terminal 3’s Earles Swensens to celebrate mother’s birthday on Saturday. This was the parents’ 1st time going to Earles Swensens while it’s our 2nd time. The 1st time was to celebrate one of my cousin’s birthday.

Earles Swensens is a more high-end outlet than the normal Swensens. The courses there are more expensive and different and there’s a salad bar too.

After that, we went to Harris bookstore. My brother was a newly-convert of Twilight! By me and my cousin, apparently. He was the subject of all my ramblings about everything Twilight- related for a long time. That must have piqued his interest. Furthermore, my cousin started reading Twilight (or should I said New Moon); he said he got tempted to read it too. I or rather, he, bought Twilight. I’ve been waiting ages for to complete my collection so its killing 2 birds with one stone.

Anyway, I was a little a miffed at the fact that the cashier/salesperson think that I don’t know about the Twilight saga just because I picked up and got excited about Twilight (1st book). This did not happen to me only once. Do I looked like I’ve been living under a rock all this while or that it was because of the upcoming movie that made me want to read it? Please, I probably have more knowledge about Twilight saga, Stephenie Meyer and the movie more than them or other people in general.

See, that's why I don't like something to be so publicise. It spoils the whole feeling.

I know they are doing their jobs, by recommending books. In other circumstances, I would greatly appreciate that, but just not in this case.
