8 Weeks Post 60DWCC - Long Live Our New Found Hobby

So another week has flew by, what's all the time gone to? For us, we spent quite a bit of time pursuing our new found hobby - playing slot machines. Online.

While it does suck up our precious time, THL and I find that the game is exhilarating, especially when you get a huge BIG WIN prompt. :)

Day 110 - Saturday

The day was spent going out with THL's family. We visited Changi City Point as well as getting some stuff from some of the exhibitions at Singapore Expo. We all had lunch at the Prawn Noodle restaurant.

As we have an appointment with a long time friend of mine, the 3 of us left early and took a train down to Pasir Panjang Station. We had our dinner at Pasir Panjang Food Centre and as usual, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves devouring the satay, BBQ wings and Zi Char foods that we ordered. My friend gave us a lift home after that. What a sweet and kind gesture from him! :)

We spent the evening watching some boring TV shows while playing our beloved Slots Paradise games.

Day 111 - Sunday

RK and I left for a jog to Chinese Garden early in the morning. We went home just in time to eat breakfast prepared by our beloved THL. :)

We set out to Jurong Point after our lunch at one of the nearby coffeeshop. We bought some stuff some Popular, Robinson and NTUC. We later had a little bit of dessert at Durian Empire.

In the evening time, we had fruits for dinner and THL cooked noodle for RK. Watch the funny yet exciting Hangover III DVD with THL while playing Slots Paradise.

Day 112 - 116 ~ Monday to Friday

We got our air conditioner serviced on Tuesday as it is no longer blowing out any cold air and with the weather getting warmer everyday, it is therefore a top priority to have the air-conditioner fixed.

On Thursday, our stupid son RK spun his head endlessly at one of the playground after our session of soccer and freebies. And guess what happened after that, he was so dizzy he has to go to bed early after dinner. Serve him right for performing such act of stupidity. LOL!

On Friday, I got another complaint against RK from his Chinese teacher. RK has not been doing his corrections and homework given to him for a few weeks hence the teacher got no choice but to call the parent. I gave RK a big piece of my mind when he came back home in the afternoon. I also made him finish up all the outstanding homework and corrections.

Friday evening, we meet up with my parents and had dinner at IMM. We ate at one of the recently shrunken Taiwanese restaurant. The food is average but the price is slightly above average.

Transport Expenses:

Like I mentioned last week, I will only be updating the transport expense at the end of each month now. March just ended and the figures are out. We spent around $140 in terms of transport expenses for the month of March.

Weekly AfterThoughts:

The long awaited news regarding the adjustment to COE premiums, loan terms and interest rates have not been favorable hence we will just have to hang on and continue our now more than 60 days without car challenge. :D

Day 55 of the 60DWCC - Day Out at Suntec City, Marina Square and Raffles City

Lunch at Suntec City - Food Republic

The 3 of us stayed at home the entire morning doing our own stuff. At noon, we set out to Suntec by taking Bus 502 directly to Suntec City. We had our lunch at Food Republic - the newly opened food court at Suntec City. The food there while expensive, the quality is well above average.

After we filled our stomach, we took a stroll around the newly renovated Suntec City as well as the newly open Giant Supermart. We even stop by the small scale Asian Art gallery at the 2nd floor.

After that we walked around Marina Square and had a short teabreak at St Marc Cafe. We had a dessert and a drink each.

The Long Walk

After that, we walked through the long stretch of City Link and reached Raffles City. A place that we have not visited for ages. We walked around Robinson and around some of the shops at the basement floor.

We had dinner at Grandma's restaurant. The food there is nice but overprice in our opinion. 

As it was already quite late already - we took a cab home after walking around Jason Marketplace. 

Transport Expenses: $28.07

Bus Ride:

Bus 502 to Suntec => $2.37 x 2 + $0.88 = $5.62

Taxi Ride:

From Raffles City to Home =>$22.45

Daily Afterthoughts:

Although food and transport expenses for the entire day are well above the average days, it was totally worth it in my opinion. We traveled to new places today (Raffles City and City Link, some new areas in Suntec City) and had some reasonably acceptable dessert and dinner. Most importantly we have enjoyed each other's company and without the nagging car expenses at the back of our mind, we were able to thoroughly enjoy ourselves today.
