Weekend Treats!

Saturday morning I went off to the URA Gallery. Then we went off to buy a duffel bag at Peninsula Plaza, then to buy The Three Kingdoms (two volumes) at a second-hand bookstore for me and look at art supplies We might have stopped for ice cream along the way in ArtHouse (near the Asian Civilizations Museum)! Then we met up with the gang and went to see a Portuguese movie about police in Brazil. Very intense and violent movie. I think the guys liked it a lot, but I think the effect was more fun for Sunday's adventure. Afterwards we watched a soccer match. The taxi home didn't really know the area where I live, but we worked it out in the end. I was just so tired.

Sunday, I woke up later because I got home really late. Mommy called me...I was so tired :(. Anyways, then I got a text waking me up. HP and I met up in Bugis to go through Arab St and the surrounding area. Then we ran around looking for Arabic calligraphy (of an ostrich or a lion are the prints I want). So we ate REALLY good food at an Egyptian restaurant; I had been there before but not ordered anything except hummus. Then we walked all the way to the Malay Heritage Centre (and talked to an artist there drawing orchids with some sort of liquid gold. Very nice!!! And the tools were very unique...melted gold? Mixed with some sort of medium...or at least gold-colored liquid that spread like ink. I guess ink that had to be heated up...ok. I give up trying to determine what it is.

We pretended to be a SWAT team today. We even made a stop into Parkview, which they call "gothic" here, but I don't think it's gothic at all. It's ...I don't know what is the appropriate term. Let me see if I can find it online. ok no. so then what...

So enough about that. Then I went into National Library with the intention to read Mirror Mirror (Gregory Macguire, I think...the author of Wicked for those of you who do not know), but I think I fell asleep instead...but only for 20 minutes or so :(

Then we went off to City Hall (Raffles City) MRT Station, but we stopped into Raoul for a bit (to look at some office wear for me...but I didn't like the way any of the cuts fit me, so I didn't buy anything). Then watched some people eat at Bishan coffeeshop near the station (I was quiet I think because I was so tired today)...then went off to walk to Bishan Sports Hall. I will try other stores for cuts.

Played ping pong and badminton. Jumped on the trampoline. (fun!)

Home now...talked to Co Bay. :) Miss the family...very much.

now time to recharge the energizer bunny. toodles!
