Water and electricity were up yesterday and hacking of the kitchen wall starts today.
The floors and main door were covered up, toilet bowls and sinks removed and it looks all ready for the renovation!
After loitering at the empty new place for an hour or so, we cabbed down to Courts at Tampines for our mattress purchase. Cab fare was only $5+ - cheap thrill.
Another hour spent on lunch at Ikea and 2hrs finding the 'perfect' mattress (perfection comes with a hefty price!), we were left with not much time for the last task of the day.
So instead of finding the lightings, I suggested to eat.
Off we went to Chinatown's popular Korean restaurant, which Mr. Grumpy didn't really like.
But along the way, I confirmed the traveling time to work for me is only 25mins - another cheap thrill.
Until Old School is gone that is. I guess it's just my luck - I've never stayed at anywhere near office.
Anyway as we stepped out of the restaurant, we saw a man running across the small street and passerbys and people working at the coffee shop and the beauty shop started to gather.
We walked a little further down and a little beside me mumbled something like, "this kind of bag..."
I was carrying my huge ass LV bag and I thought it has gotta be another Chinese lady talking about it.
Until she told me to be careful of my bag because a lady having dinner at the coffee shop just got her handbag, which was placed beside her on the chair, robbed!
Shortly after, the man whom I saw running came back. He had helped to give chase but obviously failed. The passerbys also told us the lady who was robbed, chased in her high heels. But what are the chances?
So pls, take care of your belongings. You have a part to play when things go missing or stolen. Which is why I seldom leave my bag on the chair beside me and when I do, I pull the chair really close to me so that it's not that easy for people to snatch. Don't take Singapore's safety for granted. Like the posters always say, low crime doesn't mean no crime.
I hope the lady managed to get her bag back... be safe this festive season.
