My sunday with friends

Oh my.. I think I’m getting older and starting to lose my stamina. :P I feel so exhausted right now after went out with the girls to Sun Plaza for 7 hours. It’s not the best idea to wear a 4 to 5 cm high heel for 7 hours. And, I can’t believe I didn’t take any single picture except the picture of Hypermart’s cashier that wore Santa hats. Hence, this is a picture-less post.

How did we spend the 7 hours there:

1. Spent one hour at ‘Executive’ shop cause there was 80% discount and today is the last day (if I not mistaken). As expected, the place was crowded with people. Well, it is not everyday that you can get a good quality office wear at inexpensive price. But since I work at home where office attire is depends on my mood, I just walked around the shop and gave opinion to my friends. I thought of buying some for next year, but the discount items were not so nice and has the boring-collar-shirt-look.

2. Spend almost 2 hours at the newly open Nelayan Shanghai Kitchen for lunch. Had the dimsum, fried rice and chatted quite long. A high school friend is getting married next week and the other one on the next few weeks, while a few has planned for next year. I am not invited as we are not very close. It’s good too cause that means I don’t need to give angpau (red pocket – money) and can save. lol.

While talking about that, the girls asked me,”So Kat, when is your turn? Soon? Next year?” Alright, I know, I have a pretty steady relationship for more than 4 years and it seems to be enough to move on to the next step and get married. But umm, sorry, not so fast, as we are talking about 2 people from 2 different countries and boyfriend was just (unofficially) graduated. Give us some time to sort things out.

3. Checked out the office-attire-sale from Sogo, walked around the mall, bumped into high school friends again and again. I tell you, Sun Plaza is the best plaza to bump into someone that you know. Yes, we do have other shopping complex in town, but this is the best place to hang out and shop. Hence, you will most likely saw your friends there. :P

4. Spend some time at Vinta Cafe and chatted. Never ending chat. We got a pretty strategic place, next to the window/glasses where we could see outside (people passed by) and talked about them (the way they dress, their hair, blablabla). :P Alright, not so boring, we did chat about ourselves.

5. Walked again, went to hypermart, went to Bread Talk. It was raining quite heavy (infact it has been raining all day long) and a few of us decided to eat at KFC first before went back home.

Since I didn’t buy anything, I only spent IDR.60.000 ($5) for foods and drinks (lunch and tea time). :D

We came up with a few plans for December:
1. Go to K2 for karaoke session tomorrow night.
2. Must pay a visit to Gelato Bar somewhere in December or around Christmas. It is somewhat a cafe with a great ambiance. Definitely a good place to take pictures. Hehe..
3. Have a spa session on the 2nd weekend of December or so. Time to pamper myself.
4. Go to the not-attractive-and-dirty-beach, Pantai Cermin, at the end of December. I went once and don’t like it, but it’s the only beach we have that is located not far from the town. But, I gotta see first cause my parents also plan to go to Brastagi Highland around that time and this time we gonna spend a night there.

Whatever it is, boyfriend will follow the plan and schedule that I have on December unless he wants to stay at my house doing nothing. :P
