Shopping for an exchange

As we have to take a compulsory day off every month because of the 'downturn', I took yesterday off and went shopping for my partner in the EMS secret pal exchange !

It was a leisurely day for me ... no need to rush home to cook (dh said he was buying dinner) :)

First I went to Joo Chiat Complex, thinking I could get some really really nice ribbons and stuff from a shop that I have been to before. Alas, they do not sell those stuff anymore and I 'wasted' my trip there :(

Usually I am ok walking under the sun but yesterday was the first time that I took out my umbrella coz the sun was so unbearbly hot ! I could feel the sweat dripping down my back while standing at the bus stop !

Luckily the air-con bus didn't take long to arrive and I hopped onto no. 7 which took me to ......Spotlight !

Spotlight is undergoing major renovation now but I managed to get some pretty items that I hope my partner will like :) Roamed around for about 2 hours and took the MRT (mass rapid transit) home. Didn't want to stand in the bus stop under the scorching sun !

Reached home about 3.30pm and youngest dd was home from school already. Had light lunch with her and we took a good long late afternoon nap together. How blissful..... wish it could be like this everyday :)

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great stitching week ahead !
