bb and mm took a short break at Singapore at the weekend just passed. It was fun. Very hot, but quite breezy and of course, we were smart to stay in shopping malls most of the times to enjoy the air-conditioning. : )

I'm told that the weather was awful locally whilst we were away. We were lucky.

We went to nearly all shopping malls that we could possibly get something for ourselves, but ended up getting nothing. The "Great Sale" was on, but we noticed that the stuff there were pretty old-fashioned and we haven't qutie got to that stage/age yet :P Ah yes, we bought food eg the very nice Pandan cake and mult-layer cake at the airport, and I bought 2 elephants from Jim Thompson.

We had wonderful food, from chicken rice, satay etc from hawker centres, to chilli crab at East Coast - yum yum! I was tempted to buy the chilli sauce and make chilli crab when I get back, but I stopped myself knowing that I may not get to that before the sauce expires ... ! :P

Met some of bb's mates - nice bunch.

Deadline fell on 1st day of our holiday - 7 June 2007 - Sigh.

Read newspaper today and noted that from today, we could book tickets for 2008 Olympics. Read the rules and small prints. It feels and in fact works like subscribing for IPOs, as tickets are bound to be over subscribed. Each person could only put in one application, for a maximum of 10 matches, each for a maximum of 4 tickets.

The event would be held in China (and to a small extent, HK), and I guess the weather would be "too hot" for bb to be interested (I was told it was 37C in June, let alone August when the Game would be held). So I have asked my colleague, she will ask her bf and I've also mentioned it to one of my friends. The plan is we would all put in an application for 4 tickets for the matches we are interested to maximise our chances of getting the tickets. It's quite expensive, I mean the tickets plus flight tickets and hotels, but I guess it's a lifetime experience. It's too preliminary to say anything now, but we'll see. At least the thought itself is pretty interesting. : )
