the end is finally here!!! + Vivo

after smelling the sweet air of freedom for about approximately all of 10hrs on friday, the reality of the amount of workload and preparation left to do for the upcoming R.A.T race came back to kiss my ass...God..haha.. but i will not complain..Nope...hehe..

Saturday...was a fantastic day.. Had soo much fun with baby. Firstly we went to ViVO!!! seriously, i don't see what the hype is about. Its a typical shopping mall reallie with a larger than life complex. But other than the huge crowds swarming around every nook and cranny of the building, having ALL the popular housebrands such as Forever21, Mango, Topshop and Gap under one roof which obviously makes shopping a very convenient experience and the fact that the enormous complex allows for much walking activities..i wld have to say tt ViVo is just another shopping mall..the same old BORING place.. but somehow these places just seem to draw the crowds. Guess its true that sporeans live to shop. The sad fact of life. Haha... However I have one important point tt really helped to set ViVo apart from the other malls... its huge glass panels featuring a stunning view of the jetty and sentosa. Definitely serving as a beautiful backdrop for fine dining purposes. That wld have to be their major selling point which evidently ViVo has already managed to work to their advantage.

Some snapshots of ViVoChildren's play haven...

little boi playing in the pool..awww..ain't he the cutest thing?

sweet...

the ugliest, fugliest shoes tt ever existed..CROCS!!!

and guess wat?!?!

the evil me forced Baby to try on a pair...just for my entertainment. Tee Hee

Oh goodness..after all that trudging up and down the packed corridors, my feet got kinda tired..haha.. told u the place was GIGANTIC! haha..so me and baby left for a better place.

THE DAILY SCOOP!!!

ice-cream galore!!! it was heaven on earth... haha. the daily scoop being located in the very secluded neighbourhood of clementi offered a fresh alternative to the many other popular and more commersialised ice-cream parlours present in our shopping complexes. They focused on using fresh ingredients to derieve new and queer flavours that u wldn't usually find elsewhere. Personally i would recommend the lychee martini (which packs a punch..so beware), the bailey's chocolate chip (this is really really good with a strong dash of baileys which so happens to one of my most favourite drinks! haha)..But then..we tried out the other flavours. Baby had hazelnut haven with waffle and I had ginger crumble with brownie. It was indeed a perfect pairing..the ginger crumble tasted authentically of fresh ginger meaning the 'la' flavor was there with every bite. Yums..a bit queer but it was really refreshing..

okie... some bad news. tomorrow's the standard chartered marathon. Reallie scared considering that I haven't been training up much for this event. And fact is... its gonna be 42.195km!!! NO JOKE man!!! So all I hope for is to cross the finishing line in one piece. THats all I ask for...
