Pre-celebration of Meilin's B-day - 15th Dec'08
Took leave on Monday to accompany Meilin to do her X'mas shopping, movie and dinner.
We met up ard 2+pm and headed to Wisma for shopping, followed by Taka. I didn't manage to buy anything cos I really had nothing in mind what to buy. After shopping for a while, we headed to The Cathay to watch "The Day The Earth Stood Still". Hubby met us directly and went to collect the tix first. We had booked a couple seat and a single seat, me and Meilin shared the couple seat comfortably and Hubby took the single seat, hehe.
The movie was ok and luckily didn't have a lot of gross/bloody scenes cos the ad on the website said there were disturbing scenes which I'm kindda scared of.
After the movie, we went back to Taka for some more shopping. Meilin went Tiffany to look for some items and we browsed from 1st floor to 2nd floor. At the 2nd floor, while Meilin was trying on her necklaces, I saw something! In the display cabinet was a beautiful solitaire ring which was under the category below $3,000. I asked the sales lady how much was it purely out of curiosity and because it was so pretty, the answer was $2,950... Duhz, really less than $3K loh, short of $50 only. I showed Meilin the ring and she found it nice also and asked me to try the ring on. And guess what? It was my ring size and fitted my finger perfectly! OMG~
I was like freaking tempted for like 15mins to buy it, calculating the installment plan would come up to $245 a mth. But, ultimately I did not buy it lah. Its really too ex and almost $3K can buy us a lot of things for our future home. Getting flat is more important and priority now! Anyway, the ring looks something like this. Of cos the diamond is not as big, it was 0.23 carat. But the 6 claws setting made it look quite big and pretty.
After Tiffany, we went Swensons for dinner. I had a salmon & mushroom baked rice which wasn't really nice. Hubby ordered ribeye steak to be medium rare which took ages to serve and turned out very cooked. We sent back the order and they served the correct one. Service was really slow and sucky that day, puiz...
On a happier note, I got my advance X'mas pressies from Meilin, thanks babe! Have yet to open it up cos Hubby says can only open on X'mas. She also got me this cute scrunchie from Taiwan! It has a Mickey Mouse head and its in my fav colour - purple!!! Keke, so ke ai~
Thanks so much gal! You really always buy me little pressies when you go on holidays/biz trips, so thoughful and sweet of you. *muacks*
Enjoy your holiday ya and your pressie is still with me~
