been bout 3 wks since i last updated so i shall make a quick update today. been busy with assignments, projects and tutorials past couple of weeks. finally finished all assignments and exams are just 2 wks away and i have not started studying yet. serious mugging will start tomorrow. good thing i "recharged" myself just now. was deciding just now at 7pm whether to stay in hall to watch "A.I." or to go to town. have not been to town for a leisure time for a few wks and i am starting to feel "trapped". good thing i made the right decision and headed down to town at 730pm. reached there at 8pm and started to walk around leisurely. 1st stop was Isetan supermarket at Shaw. the feeling of being there, walking around slowly, taking my own time to shop and look at the many products of all sizes, colour, packaging etc made me feel so relaxed and de-stressed. i felt so good, so recharged with energy with the atmosphere, lighting etc of the supermarket. went on to borders after leaving Isetan. browsed through a few guide books on australia, new zealand and europe. next stop after borders was cold storage in taka. the atmosphere and ambience there was not as good as that of isetan but nonetheless, i enjoyed shopping and strolling there. my most favourite supermarket in orchard area is still cold storage at centrepoint. although it went through a major renovation and is no longer the same layout as in the past, the ambience there is still the BEST. it is big and spacious, the lanes are wide and the lightings are bright, white and cosy. range and variety of products are also much better than that at taka. so needless to say, i was there just now. went through lane by lane, looking at all the products, especially new ones and promotions. good thing there was none because i am broke now and if there were new products or promotions, i will def be unable to control myself and i will end up buying them. after finishing the entire supermarket, i headed down to carrefour at plaza sing. had only 30min there because it closes at 1030pm. had a short shop there before coming back to hall. although its a short 3 hours of shopping, it was a good and recharging one after so many wks where i had no chance to do such leisure shopping. will have a full day of slow leisure shopping after the exams. long long time since i did so. need a big serious recharge after the exams. but right now, i feel good already, even though i am still physically tired after all the assignments and esp fri night and sat night venture cord hike. its really a very tough and tiring job as an examiner. but its fun. really fun. enjoyed it and will be looking forward to the next one. haha.. scouting rocks.. always.. =)
