Had an early start to the day today. Nick wanted to try going for an 8.30am mass so we dragged ourselves out of bed and headed to St Teresa's. Nat insisted on wearing her bicycle helmet at home and whilst walking to the carpark, she wanted to push her toy supermarket trolley. She looked like a bag lady!
Sat on stools at the back, Nat was relatively well-behaved - wonder if it's because she didn't have a pew in front of her to pull hymn books out from or step on the kneeler? Or maybe the air-con kept her cool?
Once mass was over, made Nick head to Orchard so we could check out the Takashimaya baby fair. For some reason, Taka only opens their B3 carpark after 10am and since we were early, we parked on Level 6. Only to find all the lift lobbies and glass doors to escalators locked. We weren't the only ones stranded, had to wait a few minutes till 10am arrived and the doors were finally opened. Their department store opens at 10am, shouldn't the carpark lobbies open slightly earlier?
Bought a few things from the fair, then we headed to 111 Somerset to check out Applebee's, a large family restaurant chain from the States that's come to Singapore. Kept hearing it being mentioned in the movie 'Couples Retreat' so was looking forward to it opening.
Once again, Nat was quite well-behaved, she stayed in her high-chair for her whole meal. The loud music was a good distraction, she was bopping away and looking out the window. The staff provided crayons, an activity sheet and a balloon so she was a happy camper and we could eat in relative peace.
I had chicken quesadillas, Arlyn had a chicken caesar salad and Nick had a combo of mini burgers, dynamite shrimp and a steak fajita. We ordered some garlic mash and fries on the side and the total bill came up to about $60. Service was quite good, the waiter added a personal touch to our bill and takeaway fries box with a message like 'Thank you for dining with us' and drew a smiley face.
Dinner was at AMK, Mildred's hosting one of her 9 night novena sessions again. Tapau-ed food from Chomp Chomp, was disappointed with my carrot cake, I think the stall I used to buy from changed hands. Finally tried satay bee hoon for the first time, it was ok but not something I would go out of my way for.
There's been some major burning going on somewhere in the west, one of the chemical plants I presume. The sky has been glowing the past few nights with some fireball moments, which freaks Nat out. Wonder what they're processing and where? Has to be a pretty big fire if we can see it from our window.
