An eventful & fruitful 5 day long weekend! :) (updated)

On Friday, which was the first day of my 5 day long weekend, I visited Singapore Changi Airport, Terminal 2..

Had not been there for quite awhile..

Was there to visit the doctor, as I usually do whenever I don't feel well..

Lots of people are still puzzled and would always question me on why I would go all the way to the airport to visit the doctors as they hardly know of anyone who does so..

Well, the answer is already obvious in their question! Why I would go all the way there to see a doctor is because no one does so! So apart from the distance having to travel there & also the consultation fee may be steeper, but the best part of it all is... there's hardly a queue! :)

Everytime I visit the doctor there, I don't have to queue or wait long for my turn! How cool is that?! ;)

Anyway, after seeing the doctor that morning, I was prescribed with lots of medicine in which several may cause drowsiness, thus fortunately for me I chose not to drive that morning!

I boarded a bus instead! :)

‎It was my 1st time taking a bus ride after sooo long!

It's been a doggone looonnnggg time ever since I ever rode on 1..

Wanted to drive but did't wanna take the risk as I was on medication that'll cause drowsiness.. 如果吃藥會使你想睡，最好是不要駕車，搭個巴士還是安全點兒！

Thus, I rode the bus to Compass Point Shopping Centre where I met up with my "bro", Jason, for lunch..

He not only treated me to lunch, he even gave me a ride home in his car after our lunch.. ;)

Thanks, bro! Next one's on me! ;)

On Saturday morning, I brought both the boys for breakfast @ McDonald's™ Changi Airport Terminal 3..

My boys love that week's train design that comes free with the Happy Meal! They have all 4 designs collected from the past weeks now.. :)

There's light emitted from the train's engine..



That night, I stayed up to watch the Presidential Election 2011 results.. Wanted to know who'll be our next president..

Bored.. Took this pic that night @1.30am..

Our unit has the most privacy as it's a long walk to & fro the 8th floor lift lobby..

Sunday was shopping day with mum!

That afternoon, my mum & I met up @ OG Albert Street where we shopped for household items & products for my new home! :)

My mum chose this set of cutlery for my new home..

Thanks mum! I love the color! It's my favorite color - blue!

And thank you, grandma, for this little gift! :)

Thank you, mum, for buying all these dining crockery as a gift for my new home! :)

Thank you, mum, for this hot water flask! :)

Thank you, mum, for these placemats & coasters! :)

Thank you, mum, for this very bright & cheery-looking serving tray! :)

After shopping @ OG Albert Street, we went for dinner @ City Square Mall & followed by some more shopping @ Mustafa Centre where we shopped for Teachers' Day gifts for Shawn Ethan's school teachers..

Monday was a very busy day for me!

That morning itself, sent Jonathan Ezra, to playschool, then I brought Shawn Ethan to Toast Box @ Compass Point Shopping Centre to have breakfast..

Went shopping for household stuff..

Checked out a new playschool for Jonathan Ezra..

Went home just in time for the LG staff who came to wall mount the 42 inch LED TV in the living room!

After which I spent the entire afternoon, sweeping & mopping the entire house, washing clothes, etc..

Despite us having "ebony & ivory" (black & white) as the color theme for our new home, I just realized today that the household items I bought for use in the kitchen & service yard are all colorful! I couldn't resist.. LOL! :P

Happy 8th Birthday, Shawn Ethan! :)

Today's Shawn Ethan's 8th birthday & we celebrated it in advance! :)

Mabel Eva bought Shawn Ethan a birthday cake! :)

Look @ our just-got-out-of-bed faces.. LOL.. :p

Shawn said he wanted to eat @ Swensen's thus we brought him to the Swensen's @ Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 2 for lunch!

His younger brother, Jonathan Ezra, also enjoying himself..

Jonathan Ezra, and I.. :)

The birthday boy, Shawn Ethan and I.. :)

Bought this on CNY eve @ Plaza Singapura shopping centre..

A handphone pouch with 3 slots.. Love it lots cos' I can put my iPhone 4 32GB, Blackberry Curve & my 2 earpieces in it.. These 2 doggies are so adorable! Especially the brown one.. :)

2 days of medical leave.. Yesterday & today! Super long weekend for me! :) Awesome opportunity to catch up on watching movies on DVD! :)

Yup! I went to visit my company doctor yesterday & he gave me 2 days of m.c. for yesterday & today! :)

My stomach was feeling unwell on Wednesday evening & I had a slight fever & running nose on Wednesday night..

Yesterday my body was aching all over, thus I went to visit my company doctor yesterday afternoon..

He gave me mc for 2 days, told me that I have the symptoms of gastric flu & ask me to have a good rest.. :)

Thus I had the opportunity to have a good rest indeed.. ;p

Went for a manicure & pedicure nearby.. :P

Dark red nail polish with glittery top coat.. for my fingernails & toenails.. :)

Also went for a shoulder & back body massage at Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 2.. :P

Damn shiok! :)

Also took the opportunity to watch several movies on DVD this week! :)

Watched IP MAN 2 on DVD..

Woo Hoo! The movie was super duper smashingly awesome! :)

Love it to bits! :)

Also watched Martin Scorsese's Shutter Island on DVD..

Shutter Island is a 2010 American psychological thriller film directed by Martin Scorsese. The film is based on Dennis Lehane's 2003 novel of the same name.

I agree with the movie critics.. This movie is indeed a stunning masterpiece! :)

In my opinion, it's a psychologically-challenging movie to watch..

This is definitely not a typical film..

A completely unexpected film..

It had all the components of a great film, and then some. The acting is spot on from every character; none of it seems forged or out of place. The script is fantastic..

It has one of the most intriguing plots I have seen in a while..

To those, who have not seen this film, be ready for a compelling, gripping, thought-provoking experience, so much so that you will have to see it again for further clarity!

It is a movie that you definitely have to watch at least twice!

Cos' after the twist at the very end, one realizes that one has to go back to the beginning of the movie & watch it all over again for all the clues, slight giveaways etc.

Leonardo Dicaprio is, as usual, an awesome actor..

DiCaprio just gets better with each film, especially the ones he makes with Scorsese. As they did in The Aviator and The Departed, Scorsese and DiCaprio have created another protagonist perpetually on the verge of losing his grip as they intensify the pressure on his psyche until the stress finally causes a climatic rupture.

There are layers to DiCaprio's performance that should be more evident upon subsequent viewings, but he is, along with Christian Bale, one of the few young actors who can bring depth, complexity and subtlety to obsessed, often unhinged characters.

Oscar-winning director Martin Scorsese has created a divinely dark and devious brain tease of a movie once again..

Martin Scorsese is indeed one of the most brilliant directors of all time! :)

Gonna watch Roman Polanski's The Ghost Writer on DVD today! :)

Heard it's Polanski's best in years! :)

What's up this week for me.. ;)

On Sunday, after having our lunch @ Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 2's Sakae Sushi outlet,


we headed to Giant Tampines to do abit of grocery shopping..

While we were there, we managed to take a Polaroid photo with this funny looking rabbit at the Colgate roadshow.. ;p

Here's a snapshot I took of the Polaroid photo.. (that's the reason for the blur quality..)

Here's another snapshot I took of Jonathan Ezra, playing at a Sesame Street character-[Oscar the Grouch] kiddy ride that night at Hougang Village Shopping Mall..

Hmm.. Oscar the Grouch seems to like him.. Haha~! :P

On Tuesday afternoon, before we went to Funan DigitaLife mall

for tea cum lunch, we dropped by The Arts House to check out the Cats of the World Photo Exhibition there! :)
