On Friday night, we went to Tony Roma's in Somerset 313 for dinner, we ordered a ribs and another plate of pasta probably to share, Couldn't remember the second dish. After our meal, we then went on for a walk from Somerset to Orchard. Along the orchard road, Christmas decoration has started blooming and lighten up the area. It seems Christmas started earlier this year, to attract more tourists to Singapore and also to boost sales for shop owners. Walking along the street somehow feels like Christmas already.
On Saturday Morning, we had breakfast at home, after our light breakfast, I followed Jenny to another Dermatologist in Mount Elizabeth called Dr Oon. We waited for about an hour before until our turn. As Jenny is turning hungry, I went to buy some breads from Bread Talk opposite Mount Elizabeth while Jenny is waiting in the clinic. While Dr Oon, is diagnosing her skin conditions,he explained to Jenny about the cause of this skin irritations, history of bed bugs in Singapore and he also shared about other patients with bed bugs infections.
He prescribed some medicines and wrote a memo for us. Surprisingly, the simple memo which took him about 2 minutes and a deep breath cost us $50 which I think is a complete rip off. However, feeling helpless, we have no choice but to pay him accordingly as he is well known in his field and had 39 years of experience with skin conditions.
After our diagnosis, we then went for a light meal in Crystal Jade Gold in Paragon. Had 5 basket of dim sum and we then went to buy gifts for Jian Yang's birthday. We chose a French Press from Bodrum for him as he likes coffee. I am responsible to get a birthday cake for him too, I saw this long queue for a Japanese Bakery Chef in Isetan Shaw House, we joined the queue and bought a small cheese cake from them. The name of the bakery is called Chateraise. The price is reasonable and the cheese cake is rich and creamy. Worth all the wait.
After getting our cake, we got a text from JY saying that he will be going to Buono Vista slightly earlier than the time we set. Without any delay, we then left city centre and headed to Buono Vista to check the dinner place and also to meet up with JY. Upon reaching Buono Vista, we found that the restaurant is in NTU alumni club which is located on top of a small hill opposite the MRT station. Despite feeling strange, we continued our walk to the Alumni Club and eventually couldn't find the restaurant. We called the restaurant to confirm our search and also the location of the restaurant. Upon reaching the restaurant, on the 8th floor, the place is filled will families in T-shirts and Slippers and kids playing wii. Without a second thoughts, I called CCY and changed the venue of JY birthday celebration.

We then walked back to Star vista and CA suggested morganfield's in star vista. I asked Jenny to bring the cake to the restaurant and secure a place while I will be greeting JY in ground floor to tour him around to buy time for the rest of us to reach. I guess for this part, I will need more practice. I somehow couldn't smoke JY smoothly.
The meal went smoothly and it was a night filled with a lot of laughter. It was great to see that we all enjoyed our night together as a group.After the birthday celebration, we went back home and called it a night.
On Sunday morning, as usual we had breakfast at home, and went to Zumba in California Fitness. It has been a while since our last visit to California Fitness. After our Zumba, we went for grocery shopping, and bought some dimsum from Kopitiam. I called back home to mum to catch up with my mum and also with my Aunt as she will be stopping by Singapore this coming Sunday. I am planning for a dinner or a meal with her together and another of my Aunt here in Singapore. She will be staying in Sentosa Island and will be going to USS. So I will catch her around that time on Sunday.
After our Zumba session, went back home for a quick meal and prepare ourselves for tea time with Kenny. Kenny brought me to Hilton Singapore for their famous Cheese cake. He recommended me a cheaper agent and also told me about how to settle in Australia. We also discussed about our work life and he shared some of his life experience to me.
After my tea time with Kenny, I then meet Suzie, as she is helping out us on the case with Raffles Hotel. I am so grateful to have her going through with us throughout the entire chaos. She stands out and offered her help to us without any hesitate. Good thing about bad time is that we can see who are willing to stand out to offer us assistance. Without her help, we will simply been ignored by Raffles Hotel management.
She also told us that she and her husband are not PR as they don't want their child to go through army in Singapore. However, they cannot afford to have their children to an international school as the fees cost about 20k per year. So they will probably move back to UK before her eldest son turn 7. She told me that, the moment she got children, all her savings and long term plans are gone. Everything are for her kids now.
In return for her help and also her kindness, Jenny and I offered to take care of their children once in a while as we are now working in West which is very near to her place in Clementi.
We ended our Sunday with some grocery shopping in Novena Square NTUC and also a simple meal by Jenny at home.
