The New Mega-Shopping Mall - ION Orchard

This is what it looks like. Haven't roamed in it yet. It's right opposite Tangs Orchard/Marriott Hotel, and above Orchard MRT Station.

Thaddeus 1st Birthday Party

Celebrated on 15 Aug 2009 with family and some colleagues.

What Have We Been Up To?

Not in chronological order or frequency.

1. Going on aquarium escapades - our favourite!

- we have visited (repeatedly) for past 2 months - Qianhu Aquarium, Nanyang Sea View Aquarium, 328 (located at Clementi Ave 2)

2. Toured around Kranji area

- Bollywood Veggies - ate at Poison Ivy Bistro with Mum & Dad.

- Hausmann Marketing Aquarium - fed koi, saw the biggest Pacu fish, exotic fish like Arapaima I cannot remember which one was longer - the Pacu or the Arapaima, because it was certainly longer than me! Couldn't take photo cos the pond was too dark!

3. Visited nurseries

I have visited nurseries in the Thomson Road area, Far East Flora at Queenstown and Hort Park.

4. Hung around furniture places

- bought an Ikea 4-drawer cabinet at the "As-Is" bargain section for S$203!

- bought 3 full-back leather dining chairs (Effezeta) for S$69 each at a carpark sale at Castilla!

So many things going on, you can understand why I haven't blogged for a while.
