Went Orchard to shop with Cindy for samarx birthday prezzie

We met at White Sands and had lunch together at a HK cafe on level one. As i took my own sweet time to eat (with braces on, it isn't easy to chew and munch like before) Cindy's looking around.... And she said a girl standing at the payment cashier resembled Si Min. YES! The short-until-can-spike kind of hairstyle really looked like 'Chio Si Mi', i was waiting for her to turn. Cindy called her in a slightly louder voice & she turned --- yeah.. we're right!^^

On our way to Far East Plaza, i saw a familiar face in the orchard crowd, not our friend this time --it's a contestant from 'U are the One', i only remember him as the guy who did the indian dance & the wacky 'sound-effect generation' performance. He's tanned with good physique, but isn't tall.

Went Far East Plaza, as we thought there would offer more choices of affordable gift choices than places like Ngee Ann City and Paragon. Fought hard to ward away the urges of shopping for ourselves by reminding ourselves... 'Samartha.. Samartha... What should we get for her...' Hahahahahah...

Wanted to get a bag for her, but we just couldn't find the shop on the top floor --BY told me about that shop which sells bags at a cheaper price. We scoured the top levels.. Still can't find =x
Walked past several tattoo parlours & the 'yeeeeennnn' 'yeeeeeeen' sounds creeped me out.
Walked past many small cafes or rather food courts & the smell of food was overwhelming (note: i didnt say aroma, it's smell of diff types of food, mixed together in an air con environment..)
Walked past beauty parlours and schools & got a 'sneak peek' at how a beauty class is being carried out, cos they didnt shut the door.
It's the first time that i'd window-shopped through the entire Far East Plaza~~

It isn't hard to notice that there's more than 1 of the same shops around the building --- that goes to show the majority of the people don't shop thru the entire place, such that retailers have to resort to opening more than one shop to ensure that 'one wouldn't miss their shop' hehe... that's just my guess.
As Cindy wanted to buy a pair of shoes, we entered several shoe shops. I counted... We entered 3 different Mondo shops.. LOL.. In one of the Mondo shops, we saw the 唯我独尊guy again. He seemed to come shopping with 3 friends after gym or some exercise class, judging from his attire. Hehe.. He look like a gym or dance instructor in that outfit. One of the ladies bought a pair or two from that shop and he's the one carrying her shopping bag.
Saw them again in other shops on that level~
Why so 有缘?

Oh and i found the other shop that sells lolita/punk stuff in Far East Plaza. All along, i only knew of Harajuku in Level one, now i know there's another one called Blood Romance on level 3/4 (can't remember sia) Saw cute looking platform shoes, but the shoes are so hard (how to wear lei??) haha.. and it seemed to be of poor quality. Well.. nvm.. Now i know why Gladys said she didnt like those 2 shops in Far East.

Cindy finally bought a pair of pointed toe design flats/short heel (i can't remember) with nice plaid patterns. And i got myself a thick belt in metallic bronze colour. Yeah we've gotten what we wanted~ As for what we finally chose for Sam, 无可奉告Secret~~ Just in case, she reads my blog ya~~

Had dinner at basement or is it level one? Ramen Ten.. *Waiting for Cindy to send pics*
Cindy had Chicken Katsu set with maki & drink, while i ate salmon sashimi set with fried gyoza (dumpling).. It's been a long time since i ate wasabi!!! Enjoyed how the wasabi caused a 呛鼻reaction, my mouth isn't fiery hot, but my nose gets the nice jolt. Ooh la la~~

Rushed to Heeren to buy the ice cream cone necklace from Fourskins... I finally bought it!!!^^
After pondering for so long.. should i get the ice cream cone or the ramen bowl?
Heehee.. Yeah i love food!!~
Noticed many people donning big nerd spectacles, either black rimmed (like singer Khalid Fong Da Tong) or in some consipicuous shades. The latest trend is geek chic eh?

On our way back to the MRT station from Heeren, while crossing the road... I spotted Gavril Skaros walking in the opposite direction several metres away. I saw his face for a split second and turned to Cindy & said 'Gavril Skaros! Confirm!!!' But that tall and long legged Gavril walked so fast, Cindy could only see his back view. When we reached the opposite side of the road, we turned & saw that he'd already walked quite a distance on the pavement in the direction of Paragon. Walk so fast wor!!! Long leg 就是long leg..
Cindy said his back view resembled him hehe..
Cos i'd seen his back and side view of his face months ago (i mentioned it in one of my prev entry), this time see front view of his face, i immediately said 'Confirm!' it's him!!!!!! Same as on tv.. LOL..
Eh.. and he's alone -again?!? The previous time i saw him, he's also alone yeah.. When i pointed this out to Cindy, she went 'ahh, u go accompany him lor' Hahahahahaha... Yeah yeah in my dreams hur?

Surprised to see the 2 唯我独尊 contestants in one day. Hehe.. On a Monday afternoon~~
I rushed to work after that... My part time jobs are on alternate weekday nights^^
