The mall we get together

Had been shopping for furniture and items for the new house including:
bed
fridge
washing machine
microwave cum oven
OTO power tap
study table
fans
lights
fans
side table
etc (and other stuff that we just feel like buying...)

As a result of countless trips to IMM and participating in the draw, we won an Osim Usqueez. Yeah! =)

p.s.: G is a lucky star cos he had already won us a TV, DVD player, iron and vacuum cleaner.

Postscript

The Club Med experience was unique and all-inclusive. It was the first time I holiday-ed with all food, drinks, entertainment etc included... In some ways, Singapore is like a scaled-up Club Med, with manicured lawns and ample facilities and you pay high prices for the services/goods you get ;P

I also learn that some Club Meds actually have infant services for babies at 3 months old! What an excellent proposition for new mothers. I hope I get to go back some day and that G takes the not-so-subtle hint *beam*

Club Med in Bali

Was in Bali from 13 to 17 Nov with G, D and S. The timing was just right to celebrate G and my 3rd wedding ROM anniversary. As I am typing this blog entry, I am reminded to revisit Mandai Orchid Gardens, something that we try to do each year.

To my horror, I realised on the flight there that I had forgotten to pack my swimwear! What on earth was I thinking? Since we stayed at Club Med, I managed to get a tankini top and bottom easily from the boutique =)


All in all, it was an excellent break from work and we were all at least 2 shades tanner by the time we left Club Med. We were very gainfully occupied by aqua aerobics, archery, badminton, bocce ball, golf, kayaking, snorkelling, table tennis and trapeze! Through participating in the different tournaments organised, we also won a number of medals =)


Any trip to Bali cannot be complete without a massage but we only had one on the last day of our trip. And that was the only time we were out of Club Med, Nusa Dua and ventured to Kuta. I would have liked a thai massage to crack my joints but I think the JariJari massage worked well in the end given that my shoulders were sunburnt! The tan was about the only souvenir of the trip, along with the beautiful memories of Club Med =)

The long and short...

weeks! Saw off a hectic week at work but this will be a shorter week since I took pm leave today and will be in Bali on Friday! =)

This afternoon was spent on checking out renovation works and spending a small fortune on furniture and sanitary wares. More updates to follow but the electrical works are mostly sorted out and the design has been finalised.

Post-run babble

Took part in the Great Eastern 10km run for the second time this year. I enjoyed the company of R and M during parts of the run and was proud that I did not cop-out at the last minute despite having too little sleep the night before.

My timing of 1 hour 23 minutes is a good 10 minutes slower than last year's timing... a rather dismal showing though I was not convinced that I could do better since I hardly trained for this. I suppose this serves as a timely reminder to train harder for the StanChart half marathon in Dec...
