House Hunting

Hola!

Andrew and I had a good day house hunting yesterday. We started off the day with breakfast at McD's and had a chicken sausage and egg muffin with a cold Milo. It wasn't bad, just a bit weird having chicken instead of beef. Then we went back to the hotel and waited for the real estate agent. He then took us around to a few apartment complexes. We found a place we like, and we're going to make further enquiries on it. After househunting, we went to Orchard Rd and had a look at the shops. We went to 2 different malls. Its just shops, shops, shops! We'll have to go back another day to see a bit more. We came back to the hotel and napped for a bit, then headed out to Chinatown for dinner. Chinese New Year festivities have started! We missed the fireworks and the lion dances because we were eating dinner, but we strolled through the night market and had a good time. And we saw a shop specially for my brother-in-law Alex, an entire shop devoted to Tintin!

Andrew's dinner: noodle soup, a coconut and steamed dumplings

The Tintin shop!

Andrew bought some magnetic stress balls at the market, then we went back to the hotel and had a late night swim in the pool. It was nice, not cold and we had the entire pool to ourselves. When we got out, it was midnight! But we slept really well after the swim.

Seeya,
