Lego Products

Bought three large sets during the Metro sales over the weekend. At 20% off, it's always a good time to buy the usual larger retail set and enjoy a lightly better rate than any of our local stores selling lego exclusively. Now of course is to find the time to actually build them......

Also, spotted at Popular (Thomson Plaza), lego books that can be bought with 10% discount for usual Popular card holders. Grabbed the 2011 Lego annual, Star Wars Brick Master (the last set I saw there), Harry Potter Lego stickers and the Atlantis activity book. Did not buy the Atlantis Brick Master but will probably grab it someday.

I also bought a copy of Brick Journal at Secret Chamber and found out that there are e-versions of the magazine on sale at the parent website. You can find out more over at http://www.brickjournal.com/

@Vivo

Hmm, another lunch at Sakae Sushi so that the boys can have their "bubble rice"! Went over to the North Point branch and took a walk after that to Popular. The boys then went up to the fourth storey to play at the indoor playground while we took a rest.

Proceeded to Vivo City to take a look at Page One, but ended up at Secret Recipe to eat my favorite Banana Chocolate Cake (packeted home a few other cakes and goodies too!) Wanted to walk around a bit but was a bit late by then as we had to meetup with relatives for dinner.

Bottle Tree Restaurant was our destination and my limited stomach space managed to squeeze in a bit more rice, some dishes and three pieces of crab, including 2 pincers! The atmosphere here is really nice when you dine outdoor and there are many other things to be done here as well.

Ah well, work beckons soon.

Kim's Restaurant

Had lunch yesterday for the second time @Kim's Family Restaurant, an authentic Korean Restaurant located at Jalan Kilat, somewhere near Beauty World Center. Great food at reasonable prices and best of all, the 12 small side dishes (free and refillable!) you get to savour before the main dishes come in. No pics to show as I was too busy eating and forgot entirely about taking photos!

Took a walk at nearby Beauty World Center after that and discovered all the stuff you only see in the older shopping centers in Singapore. Lots of tuition and textile shop types over there and some of the shops certainly made me feel like I had travelled back in time.

To end the evening, I went berserk and rented six movies from MJ Multimedia at Causeway Point to catch over the next few days. Well, as of now, 2 down and 4 more to go......

@Suntec City

At Suntec City for an outing. Went over to Simply Toys to check out the figurines and of course, Lego. Caught some interesting, unseen before Star Wars sets. Layout was tight so the individual boxes had to be pulled out to view them. Did not buy any as I had just bought three Creator sets, one basic block set and my first 10xxx set!!

Snacked at CottageWaffles Place......really crispy waffles and delicious ice cream!

Went on to visit the book fair but was stopped by Music Establishment instead. A great find as the shop assistants dug out five King's Singers albums for me!

Finally arrived at the book fair and the wallet came out again for some Marshall Cavendish books and subscriptions to BBC Knowledge and National Geographic Kids magazines.

Left at about 6 plus......spent almost 6 hours there and the kids were totally drained. Will catchup with rental DVD later and maybe fixup one of my lego set later.
