Weekends are always boyfriend's days for me. Saturdays out to town and Sundays at his place. I wanted to go shopping to buy some workwear so we went town! Clad in my newly received maxi dress from Intoxiquette. :)
I had always thought that work wear is easy to find and a piece of dress will not cost more than $60. But I was wrong! We spent quite some time walking around, trying on a few pieces before deciding on getting 2 dresses, and bill totalled up to $188. I do not exactly have a good figure so it is actually quite hard for me to find dresses that are fitting. But lucky me, the sales girl at Isetan was really good at recommending me workwears that fit me just nice! :)
After which, we caught a movie at Cineleisure - Horrible Bosses. Super funny! Had Almond Milk Tea at this shop called Artease in Cineleisure. They gave us mini pearls when we asked for the normal sized ones. Not very fantastic though!
Comex is coming this September! I have decided on the Nikon P300 instead of the Canon S95. Better zoom and video functions, launched recently but priced almost the same as the S95! I have heard that Lumix is good too but because I must admit that I am not very technical savvy, this one would suit me better. :D
I have had another 2 more interviews coming up, with which one of them is a really good job role in commodities trading. Even boy told me he might want to consider applying for it too. But I am not confident I can meet their requirements so I have decided to withdraw from the interviews. Looking forward to work next Monday!
How can I survive 7.30am work time!

Anyway, boy was telling me about this ridiculous thing that happened here in Singapore.
Here's a summary of the whole recount.
A family, who had just moved here from China, had resorted to mediation because they could not stand the smell of curry that their Singaporean Indian neighbours would often cook. The Indian family, who were mindful of their neighbour's aversion, had already taken to closing their doors and windows whenever they cooked the dish, but this was not enough.
"They said: 'Can you please do something? Can you don't cook curry? Can you don't eat curry?'," said Madam Marcellina Giam, a Community Mediation Centre mediator. But the Indian family stood firm. In the end, Mdm Giam got the Indian family to agree to cook curry only when the Chinese family was not home. In return, they wanted their Chinese neighbours to at least give their dish a try.
So, the citizens from China staying on our land telling us Singaporean citizens not to cook and eat curry? How funny. And ridiculous.
This has stirred up a big commotion and a facebook event has even been created. The event was named "Cook A Pot of Curry!" to celebrate Curries as part of our way of life and to share this celebration who are new to our shores! Both boy and I have attended! :) What about you?
