It's the third day of my Easter break and I'm having the time of my life doing absolutely nothing. Getting up at noon, getting lunch (either cooking or going out), reading magazines, cleaning the flat, cooking dinner, surfing the net or reading magazines again...what a life! I haven't started on the work I should be doing but I'm a happy procrastinator. :)
One bad thing about public holidays is that it's so crowded everywhere and you don't get what you normally do. A case at point: originally we were going to have sushi lunch at Festival Walk, but we knew we would have to wait ages to get a table, so we went to Pizza Express instead. Their menu's pretty extensive, the food's decent, and curiously there's rarely a queue (while its neighbour Simply Life always has a queue though the food's far from great). However the food we had today at PE was quite disappointing. The dough balls were cold, the salad was bland (perhaps we should have gone for our usual one), the pizza was a new entry in the menu but it's a pretty disappointing one (meatballs on pizza - and the meatballs taste exactly like the meat used to make sausage mcmuffin). Usually meals at PE are nothing special but decent; today it was far from that. The saving grace is probably the really nice and polite Singaporean (we guess) waiter!
Haha, Esther. I would love to hear you say this in person:

i know. bcoz i'm this famous b*tch who could complain nonstop? hahaha it's just so me i guess! :P
ReplyDeletei experienced a bit of tbe tai-tai way of living today too...but i didn't really enjoy it. i spent an entire night searching for recipes on the internet and went to the supermarkt in SG...though they sell most of the chinese stuff, it's sometimes difficult to find the special ingredients...i was exhuasted after the shopping, washing, cooking, cleaning up etc..i think i will only cook once in a while~
ReplyDeleteI didn't enjoy my life as a jobless wife when I was in Dubai. The boredom I experienced there was unbearable.
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy my life now as a stay-at-home-mom as I have my son as company. I guess life would even be more interesting if I were in hk, as I would have more friends and family around!
