Moon Cake Festival 2011

We did our annual visits to try out mooncakes at Ngee Ann City this afternoon...

Borders @Wheelock Place is closing... so surreal

My daddy took leave for today. We went for lunch at Sakae Sushi at Wheelock. Most of all, I think my parents wanted a final look at Borders bookshop.

13 years ago, Borders probably pioneered the concept of feel-good lifestyle bookshops. Their late opening hours was a huge draw.

Well, it's gonna be over. Saw this hand-written sign there...

Dear Borders Customers,

We’ve had a legendary run here at Wheelock Place. But sadly, all good things must come to an end.

For many of us, Borders holds a very special place in our hearts. Many of us have spent hours idling by the shelves picking up our favourite books and reading our favourite lines over and over again. Some walk through our shop for the familiarity and comfort it brings.

Borders @Wheelock has been a meeting point for many gatherings and maybe even where you met the love of your life.

To us, the staff, it has been the most wonderful and enriching experiences of a lifetime. We’ve made amazing friendships and grown so much as people. Working at Borders has been a privilege to us all.

With heartfelt sincerity, we would like to thank you so very much for your support throughout this entire journey, and seeing us through to the end.

THANK YOU FOR SHOPPING AT BORDERS.

Staff at Borders (Wheelock)

PS. Remember to look after your books

Walao, daddy really feel sibeh touching.

To the Isetan Private Sale...

Yes, as the title suggests. Well, it was my parents who went to the Isetan Private Sale at Orchard Road instead of bringing me along.

They left me at abuela's house today.

My parents bought shoes for themselves and a Barbie Fashion Fairytale night gown for me.

The weekend before Christmas

We had a delicious fish head steamboat dinner at Whampoa this evening.

Next stop, to Orchard Road...

After that, we headed to Tanglin Mall for the "snow" session again...

This time round, papi played with me while mummy took photos.

We had an enjoyable time and headed off to McDonald's Forum Galleria for some fries and hot Milo.

I went home very satisfied!
