Saturday Updates

I was supposed to be up and about by 8 a.m. in the morning and at ECP for a short run before hitching a ride with Josh (he isn't aware about this plan... cause... I didn't tell him... cause... I knew some plans just don't realize...) to Sentosa for a swim/ run with the Aquathlon team before taking the day off. That was the plan initially. However... Mum (Mine that is...) decided to take my sis and I out for lunch and as they always say... the rest is history :)

Mum treated my Sis and I to lunch at King's Copthorne. The food wasn't too bad but the company was excellent. Ever since school started, it's been a while since Mum, Sis and I had sat down together for a good meal. We caught up on the latest "headlines" from all over and talked about the upcoming plans for the new home and the year ahead. Nothing beats having a great meal with loved ones on a lazy Saturday Morning/ Afternoon :)

After our first plate of food (Peranakan Buffet...), Mum got up and headed to the buffet table to get another bowl of belachan (Chilli Paste...) and Soup. My Sis and I remained and the table and continued with our meals. As I was chomping down on the food, I caught a glimpse of someone rather familiar out of the corner of my eye and lo and behold... it was none other than PM Lee and his family. I guess the food ain't too bad if the PM's dining there with his guests huh? Now for the best part...

The Executive Chef of the restaurant/ hotel was walking the PM through the dishes at the buffet table and was just about to cross to the next table when my Mum, with a wide grin on her face, sashayed across the little gap between the two tables, stopping the entourage briefly in their tracks. My Sis and I just watched wide eyed as she walked right on, oblivious to her surroundings, across the front of the entourage, back towards the table with a grin across her face. As she placed the bowls on the table, she said: "Did you see that? They just topped up the belachan and the spare parts soup... its really good go and try ok?" PM 0 Belachan and Spare Parts Soup 1. :)

After lunch, the three of headed down to Parkway for a bit of grocery shopping before making our way home. A new cardigan, Triple Chocolate Crunch Cereal and a new stock of food for school were just some of my spoils for the day. And what a day it was. I should probably try to get some work done and a run slotted in before midnight tonight:) Till the next entry!
