This week straddles 2008 and 2009, with the dividing point right in the centre on midnight this coming Wednesday/Thursday. More importantly, it's the week where I get to really live it up before a) results, and b) NS. 

I began by meeting Darius and Weige, my NJ IP Debate mates for lunch at Central, Clarke Quay. The three of us together appear to have zero sense of orientation, but we managed to make it to Azabu Sabo's dine-in restaurant. A little jaunt around this relatively new mall later, we made a pit stop at Azabu Sabo's take-away stand for dessert, then on to wander along the Singapore river, finally ending up at Liang Court. We spent an hour or so in Books Kinokuniya, then had tea at Street, a Hong Kong cafe. There, much hilarity ensued in the form of napkin-sized stories written in a mix of English, Chinese and drawings. We cabbed to Takashimaya, where I left for a bit to place an order for a new pair of specs meant for the army, which 3 conditions were that it be a) black, b) plastic, and c) positively ghastly. I rejoined them up at Kino after bumping into Si Qi. There, I met Melodie, with whom I chatted for a while, confirming my attendance at the class shindig this week. Darius and Weige had dinner plans, so we parted, Weige and I wishing each other the best of luck for NS and Oxford respectively. I paid a visit to Paragon for a little window shopping, adding a Muji purchase to the 4 PageOne purchases I made yesterday, which is about all I've bought in the country. Evidently, I'm not the hugest shopper, what with 2 purchases in Manila being the only other things I've bought which are of any lasting quality (that's a bit of a stretch; Krispy Kreme lasted all of 4 days).
