{Shopping.Spree.Suddenly}

Eversince Calvin went on his PTI course, we have been spending every weekend at home. He's either studying for tests or rushing projects. As for me, there's always work waiting to get some pathetic attention.
...

Today, we decided to head to town to expose ourselves to some form of civilisation.

Calvin has this fetish for knives... specifically Global knives. We bought one months back and it's really quite good and easy to handle. There has been a sale going on in Tangs and Global knives are on a very good discount. My darling hubs has been wanting to add on to his knives "collection", so that's where we went.

Original plan:
...visit his granny in TTSH...
...go Tangs and grab the Global knives...
...dinner at Sushi Tei...
...head home & continue with work...

In the end:
...visited his granny in TTSH
...went Tangs and grabbed the Global knives... AND found cute salad servers, found heavily discounted placemats, found cute goblets, found cheap & practical ice bucket and bought ALL of them (in less than half an hour)!
...went Crumpler outlet in Heeren and bought a bag for my camera...
...went to Sushi Tei at NAC, loooong queue...
...went to Sushi Tei at Paragon, looooooooooong queue...
...went to Waraku at Starhub Center and had dinner there...
...head home & Calvin continued with his project and me? I surfed a bit and hit the sack soon after... (you can tell how reluctant I am to give even that bit of pathetic attention to my work...haha)

We've been trying to add colors to our black & white home.
I was really excited when I saw lots of bright colors in Tangs...
We didn't need much contemplation, we just bought whatever attracted us! haha

My birthday pressie in advance...(*__^)
This is my 3rd RED Crumpler bag. And it's also the 3rd Crumpler bag that Calvin bought for me.
Yes. All my Crumplers are from him!

    Life has never been the same since I embarked on my PTI course...travelling to & from training,speeding up to 110km/h on my bike with only 5 hrs of sleep each day is treacherous for a 33 years young man like me...

    Injecting civilisation back into my life certainly gives a fresh breath of life amidst all the physiological & pyschological weariness...

    Retail therapy has never felt so good since, better than my running...at least for now.
