.....times of refreshing.....

I started the year very prosperous ....but on the other way round. It was spending and spending on shopping! The first two days of the year were spent going to Johor premium outlets, two Aeons and another mall. And, my wifey and kids did haul up some clothes, toys and fashion apparels especially for the coming Chinese New Year. As for me, I didn't buy much except a Levi straight cut model 505 jeans,  two short pants, two shirts and almost got a football jersey in JPO. Anyway, my biggest haul was a Jabra wireless+ sports headset as well as an Asics sneakers. And, that was the most expensive sneakers I ever own!! Time to save up now... sigh...


Then, when I was back in JB, we patronised a newly opened steamboat in Taman Molek at Pavillion steam boat. The ingredients are fresh and quite chunky while they claimed the soup do not have any seasoning or 'ajinomoto' added. Well, I didn't feel thirsty after having the meal which I believe they could be right.

Getting ready...

Other than that, it was rest from work as I took a day off on Friday as well as workouts, as well as spending quality time with my family. Have a good weekend! :)

It seems not a good idea to leave me alone in Singapore while my family was in KL holidaying. Well, I did spent my time well by keeping myself busy but yet, I also bought a lot of things and spent a lot of money since I got so much time for shopping over the last weekend. Besides running my errand and buying little stuffs that I needed, I also got the following which I like so much. In addition, it's the Great Singapore Sale!

A Nike back bag to replace my Camel bag, which was going to spoil soon due to overloading. LOL This bag comes with Nike "Max Air" shoulder scrap makes it comfortable for me to carry the bag. It was big enough for me to put my notebook, power adapter, small gadgets, running shoes and clothes , as well as my tablet or book.

I currently got two old running shoes, a Skechers and a Reebok. However, I find that the Skechers cushioning was very soft and usually my feet will ache after a while, even walking. The Reebok one was very hard and my feet will numb after wearing for very long. So, I thought maybe its time to ditch both my two year old running shoes and go for Nike again. It comes with a comfortable cushion called Fitsole 2 and I got a good discount since it;s the Great Sale.

My kid always pestered me to get him a train set as he always love to travel on the MRT in Singapore, while he was here two weeks ago. So, since I got a S$20 off for this train set from Takara Tomy, well, not a bad buy.


I got myself a nice dinner on a Sunday evening after a long workout which altogether it cost S$12.
