barter trading

Dad is back for 2 nights to attend his friend's daughter's wedding (I do not really know how that actually concerns him in the first place, think it's just an Asian thing to invite everyone to someone's wedding even if you are not directly related to the bride or bridegroom)

And Dad is very lucky to get a surprise from this ungrateful asshole-ish son of his. Anyway, today was not very smooth sailing for me cos I was suppose to meet Sheryl before she sets off to USA for Summer Camp, then she'll be spending a semester at sea (so I'll only get to see her in Dec.) We're suppose to meet at 5 pm but I forgot to bring my cell out with me so I was un-contactable. I had to go through Tina who in turn had to go through K.S who in turn had to go through another of his friend to get me Sheryl's cell number! I also used the 10 cent public phone for the first time in ages and I feel so much like a
a)lost Malaysian in Singapore looking for my auntie's place,
b)Filipino calling home or
c) Bangladeshi worker calling home

Anyway,s after I got to Sheryl, I'd realised that the place we are suppose to meet has more than 1 exit so she can be at any of the 3 exits! Another call to her before I finally meet her! We went to Royal Plaza Scotts hotel's Heat Lounge where they have a daily Heat hour from 5-8.30 where drinks goes for 9.90 nett with free munchies! Today, we had beef fillet sandwiches! yummy!

After parting ways with Sheryl, I decided to walk and shop around Orchard and it was when I was at Taka that I realised that it's been ages since I last gotten Dad a gift. Yup, he's my sponsor for my countless trips and I've only been busy pampering myself and mum with her Bottega and Coach bags that I completely forgot about him. So, it's...Pressie Time! I got him a Dunhill Double Usage (as in the belt has 2 colors and can be reversed) Belt at a very staggering 300 bucks! Gosh, if I had needed another pair of Gucci shoes, he will soooo not have gotten that belt! But then again, I realised that Dad's belt is extremely old and he really needs a new one.

He came back from an outing and surprise! He bought my favourite pork jerky from Lim Chee Guan! So in a weird kindda way, we actually had a barter trade. haha...
