Had to go for my dental appointment in the morning. That means I had to wake up pretty early on a Saturday morning. The same routine checks on my braces on my upper jaw and not forgetting the glamour shots taken of my beautiful set of teeth for compilation purposes. 15 minutes...that's all I took to waltz in and out of the room. Ate lunch at Da Pai Dang at Thomson Plaza. I used to come here every Saturday for my Music Lessons at Yamaha. I remembered I was taking Grade 5 lessons [the lowest grade I think] there under the Yamaha syllabus. In Yamaha, unlike ABRSM, students start from Grade 8 and work downwards to Grade 5. Sometimes I wonder, what a waste it was to stop at Grade 8 for my piano. If only time permitted and if I didn't have to wear a particular green uniform, I would most definitely have gone for the diploma in Music Teaching. Even my piano teacher thought that it was a waste. This happens when you start something a little late in life... Met Greg at 4.30pm instead of 4pm as I was late again. Walked around Orchard and chatted along the way. Life in Singapore is sometimes quite boring. Most people only throng the roads of Orchard and just hibernate there. Ate dinner at Sushi Tei at Paragon...yup back where I left off. The place was quite crowded. We waited for at least 30 minutes before we got a place. The waitress who served me was kind of funny. But I summed it up in just one word. Stress. Guess what I received today... My Debit Mini came today. Can't wait to use it. Use it wisely of course. Extremely exhausted...till some other time...
My mum, uncle and I wanted to eat our breakfast at Market Street because my orthodontist recommended that place to us. However, we couldn't really find the place with all the food he told us so we went Lau Pa Sak to eat instead. Wrong Choice! There weren't many stalls opened at that time and the place does look rather old. Bought soya bean and coffee. I became an interpreter for the drink seller instead because she couldn't understand English. Misunderstanding between the two people. The Indian customer wanted his bill to reflect something else other than cigarettes which he purchased for 9 dollars. The drink seller was reluctant to do so. This is downright fraud... Besides, the attitude of the Indian man was really bad. What a way to begin a morning... not forgetting the pulling tension of the wires in my mouth...
That's my new phone. Motorola E398. Bought it at M1 in Paragon. Finally no more knocking my phone on my palm twice just to switch it on or off. The sales personnel provided pretty excellent service. At the very least, he was quite patient in explaining the uses of this phone to me... My uncle and sister got a new phone each too. Spent over a thousand on just phones... My mum started to enter into another one of her 'Importance of saving money' lectures again. Yet it was she who dragged me down to buy a new phone...
