After collecting our free gift, we shopped around the IT Mall for a new net book aka mini laptop. Adrian is scheduled for another oversea work detachment in mid July to end August. He would like to get a laptop with a built in camera for his travel use. This will allow him to “talk” to us when he’s oversea. Having his own laptop will be easier for him, rather than to always borrowing it from his friends or room mate.
So after walking a few shops, we narrowed to 2 brands – Acers & Lenovo. After further discussion, we bought a Lenovo S 10 mini laptop @ $649. There were some freebies that came along with the laptop and he also bought an external portable DVD for the laptop.
We had tested the video chat function of the laptop and all the software are set up and operational ready.
In the evening, we celebrated my Father In-Law 63rd birthday at Sze Chuan Court @ Fairmont Hotel. As usual, we had a very enjoyable feast and a delicious Black Forest Cake from Pine Garden.
Anthea and Anders had a fun time with their little cousin, Faith, who just came back from a one week vacation from Hong Kong. We were treated to the traditional famous 恒香老婆饼..Yummy!
On Sunday, we had lunch with my Parents and 大哥 at 天津阁 at the Bras Basah complex. It was our 1st visit to the restaurant and we had some nice treats - 锅贴，葱油饼， 小笼包，拉面 和 豆沙烧饼。After lunch, we went to TCC at Bugis Junction for coffee and tea.
Dinner was home cooked meal at my In-laws place and after dinner, we adjourned to the newly opened MOF @ AMK HUB for their desserts. Finally we had some good places for after meals desserts in AMK HUB, otherwise, we are stucked with the Macdonald’s Drive Thru…hee : P
Anthea spent the night at my In-law place. It’s has been a long time since she slept over in my in-law place. Anders kept telling me that he misses Anthea when we were in bed. When they are together, they are always “fighting/quarrelling” with each other. When one is away from home, the other one is missing her…glad to see that Absence makes the heart fonder…: )
Anthea will be away for a short trip from Tuesday to Thursday and I know we will all miss her presence.
