A day out of fun...?

Today, the 2nd May, slept in until it was about 11 before I washed up and, along with my family, went to have 点心 buffet for 'brunch' (I think?) all the way at East Coast Beach area.

And to think we are the first to arrive despite us being so slow and live a certain distance away from the restaurant.

Afterwards, so as to celebrate Pearl Lee's 11th Lunar birthday and Aunt's 41st birthday, Uncle spent 10 bucks on those machines (trying to grab the big plushie- you know, the ones that are always present at the arcade). Unfortunately, either it was an old machine, a scam or else, the birthday girl's present was just not meant to be.

Thereafter, my family took to Bugis to purchase Pearl's present- the stuffed toy plushie Cinnamon. Dad and I left mum and bro to shop in the area as mum had problems with her leg and so, I spotted the plushie and dad immediately paid for the 'exclusive' piece.

So not fair that the store only had 1 of it- I wanted one of it too... Oh well...

Then shopped some more all because I wanted to see if I could get the same plushie and ended up in Bugis Street. After looking around for quite awhile, I voiced out, "Hey, can I get a blue wig?" to my surprise, Dad was ok with it but mum went, "You sit down and try first and oh no, not the colourful ones!"

So I tried the first wig.

It was a dark brown-black long hair with soft curls at the end. I was rather amused at my new look while mum went, "真的很像洋娃娃。" Oh... so I really look like the Japanese doll type with this certain look ah...

The next wig, purposed by mum was a medium length bob of the first hair colour. It really made me" 装成假淑女" all because I look more... erm... elegant?

All mum said was, "consider first," namely because it ain't that cheap and second, why the hell will I 'kill' my hair? (Because all wigs need to be worn with a wig cap and not just wear over the hair ah.. So that means that beads of perspiration will not be able to escape from under the wig.)

Given a choice, I might have bought the bright blue bob-length one and a blond long curly haired one which amused and vexed my parents with the question, "你敢穿这出去吗？" And I was all, "Why not? I took a fancy to it ah."

After the wig testing and with Pearl's present with us, we set off to deliver it to her and of course had dinner at Aunt and Uncle's place too. I was feeling to tired and too damn hungry that I nearly dozed off on the couch.

Mission Accomplished!!
