Long Waited Meetup

After several years of birthday celebrations/present exchanges with my friend Vicky, we've both totally ran out of ideas on what to give each other, esp. when we also practiced X'mas gift exchanges.

So, last year, we made a pact that since we'd give each other a treat on our birthdays, we shall skip the present thingy and stick to the treats instead.

This year, the first year to our new agreement, Vicky has been 'on time' for her birthday treat but mine has been delayed-due to her flying to and fro to meet her husband whose overseas now. Today, we finally met up. Her friend had mentioned to her about the Daiso near here(there's already one near her home anyway, hahaha) and to show her how this branch is like, we decided to meet at Rivervale Mall for a quick snack(Renee wanted her Mac's lah...). I had not really wanted to go there 'cos I know I'd surely ended up with some buys and indeed, despite my control exercise, I still ended up with S$18 purchases at Daiso, aiyoh.

We then proceeded by LRT(neither of us drove today) to Compass Point and after our dinner at Swenson's, to 'entertain' Renee, we headed to Kiddy Palace. We've also met Jeanieve and her family at the restaruant too, hmm perhaps we should ask the mommy if she'd be keen to bring the kids over one day, heee. Vicky wanted to drop by our place but her parents whom were also nearby, wanted her to take over the wheels on their way back as her dad's eyesight isn't very good at night due to age, so I got daddy to pick us up earlier. On our way to the pick up area, we stopped by the new stall(taking over the one selling little donuts) - 'Pie Kia' and bought some pies back. Hmmm, not bad... :).

Back home, Renee played the violin for Vick but as usual, she was very nervous and didn't play well at all even though she's already quite familiar with those pieces already. Aiyah, like that how to go for the exam, haiz... Vicky's parents didn't come til about 9:45pm and thus she was cornered to play with Renee til then, hahaha.
