I spent the weekend with Mr Orange Platypus aka leo (see picture). I seriously don't understand the fuss over Crocs footwear. Despite the rave reviews these slippers have been getting, I really think they look absolutely hideous! I would much rather walk around in scuba diving fins. Mr Orange Platypus also bought a pair of stately brown Crocs - sans the holes. A leetle bit more presentable lah.
So anyway, despite the amphibious leanings of my boyfriend, we both managed to spend a really fun weekend together. Eating lots of munchies, watching lots of TV (from EPL to CNA to BBC, hey we're the land of acronyms right?), and shopping lots. I don't know when was the last time we had so much time to ourselves!
We also found out how much he loved strawberry ice-cream, and how much I loved coffee ice-cream. We had the Haagen Dazs girl fill the one-pint (think it was one-pint) tub with strawberry ice-cream till it was half-full, and then slap on coffee ice-cream to the brim.
We then both realised we were thinking the same thing at the same time - we were actually tempted to challenge her to fill half the tub with one flavour on the LEFT, and the other flavour on the RIGHT! HAR HAR! Hiya, then we don't have to wait for one of us to finish the top layer, before the other can touch the bottom layer mah!
Shopping: We had $200 worth of Takashimaya vouchers to spend. So I got a sports bra, a pair of running shorts, a comfy sleeveless top for running and a pair of goggles. So sporty right?
He, on the other hand, got a pair of smart pointy leather shoes for work. Great stuff. As long as it's not another haul of platypus, or is it platypi???
Then hor, we all also very cheapskate lah. You see, with every purchase from Taka, you get a free roll of Christmas wrapping paper, with ribbon and a tiny card to write a teensy weensy message. So, we collected 3 to 4 rolls of wrapping paper, a bunch of golden ribbons and cards! Save money on Christmas wrapping! :)
