catherine's a happy girl! *smiles* was woken up by weixing and gang in the late morning of tuesday. the phone call kind of cheered me up a little from the previous day's gloominess. wanted to get me to play mahjong but i was stuck in hall. ended up being teased by them as usual but at least it brought the long gone smile back to my face. was supposed to help out with the JCRC preparation for FOC but decided to give it a miss and go gai-gai with susan. *grins* the heavy rain ruined our original plan to visit ikea to get new stuff for my room. headed down to city hall instead. did a bit of shopping from citi-link to suntec and guess what?!? my charles and keith heels finally gave up on me! *laughs* the strap snapped and i bought a pair of slippers from OP which happens to be my only buy of the day. we went on to explore the newly opened marina square. nice place with lots of cafes and restaurants though it was a little empty. we were attracted to the ambience and settings of sakae at 1st sight. it's probably the best meal i ever had at sakae. the quality of the food is better and with the great atmosphere, i enjoyed my dinner much better. wanted to take pictures but we didn't have the best seats. guess i'll save that for our next trip which is planned to be in the near future. *winks* wednesday afternoon was spent snuggling in bed. haven't had a good rest since monday when i came back to hall. met up with gracie, shirleen and hazel to celebrate gracie's birthday. had dinner at miao yi vegetarian restaurant in coronation plaza and headed to 'island creamery' at serene centre for dessert. the mudpie was fantastic and their reversO icecream was yummy! the girls were amazed by my orders which i shan't reveal. *bleah* i'll definitely frequent the place in future. thanks to gracie and marvin for dropping me off at zouk later in the evening. wonder if it was the effect of the icecream that made me kinda high. *smiles* the music was not too bad but i was kinda tired to dance through the night. broke yet another record - drank half a jug of long island! but it only further confirmed my hatred for the drink. received a few persons' smses: limay, carol and janice lao gong. thanks for your concern. i'm feeling better le. no worries. got up at 1pm on thursday and headed to finish the last bit of preparation at Seminar Room. can't believe we actually spent the whole day and night (to be exact 12 hours) to set up everything, excluding the time spent for the past few days. the place looks really pretty and so does my newly decorated notice boards. *grins* shall go take pictures tomorrow and post them up. be patient and wait ya. now, i'm chatting over msn with susan though she's only 3 doors away. guess what's our conversation about? of coz it has to be food! *laughs* the crazy girl is coming up with a wishlist for food. i'm so gonna put on weight as we have plans to go lots of places to satisfy all our cravings. as a matter of fact, i've already gained 1kg! *sigh* in any case, i'm still looking forward to our eating spree. *drools*
