time out!

got to spend sunday by ourselves after my parents "hijacked" baby on saturday evening, and it felt good to have some time to do whatever we wanted whenever we wanted.

i slept in and later grabbed the chance to head to town and do some decent shopping. but i unfortunately could not find anything to spend my plentiful takashimaya vouchers (which we got from colleagues and friends when baby was born. yes, that long ago) on. landed up using only a $10 voucher for yummy carbs (bread) at peck. thankfully the vouchers do not have an expiry date, so i can still take my time to spend them. 

the visit to paragon was more fruitful and i came away with new clothes (including a dress) for myself. also got to try out the very satisfying red velvet cake and banana moscovado loaf with peanut icing from the chalk farm. i will be back for more!

then spent the afternoon watching vettel win yet another GP race and reading and finishing ender's game in one sitting. i gave up a nap to do this! that was how intriguing and interesting the story was. now i need new reading material, as i think it will be awhile before i finish the picture of dorian grey and i need something else to read on the sidelines.

this was followed by dinner and then our usual gogglebox fare - 夜市人生, last weekend's US masterchef rerun, and ANTM season 20.

to think this was how most weekends were spent before baby arrived!
