weekends eat & shop

Saturday, we went to XinTianDi Afternoon Tea before Joel's play class at Gymboree. After that, we went shopping in ChangLe Road.



We also saw the new shop, NPC: New Project Center. The shop was ALL WHITE! The chinese boss, Nic Li Chen, was doing a shoot on the 2nd floor, but we were allowed to go up. The 2nd floor was even "barer" than Edison's shop! They only have some clothes from Stage (by taiwanese singer Luo Zhi Xiang), Caonima, and Micheal Lau's toys. The 1st floor is basically NPC's own line and Nike Sportswear.

While waiting for Elvis to get cash from the ATM to pay for his new Nike shoes (coz their credit card/NETS service wasnt in operation yet), i witness something really funny. A few of the staff was mopping the floor! Some even took tissue paper to scrub it! And it was only their 3rd day of business. Stains really showed on their "flawless" flooring! Haha!

Some people wanted Nic Li's autograph and get a picture with him. I think we behaved nonchalantly so he came over to speak to us and Joel. But it wasnt as if Willbert Pan spoke with me (i think i will faint if that happens)! Hahaha... ;p

O ya, in 1 of the clothing store, there were lots of huge wordings all over the shop...and Joel started to say his version of ABCs. It was so funny the sales assistant laughed too! He's so cute! ;)

We shopped more while waiting for Ann. In the evening, we went to Chiang Mai Thai restaurant with Ann & Pick. After dinner, we went shopping again at JinXian Road to look for a Singapore clothing store - Revoltage. The boss called out to Elvis when we walked in. (This actually happened a few times when we're out. Once, a guy even "stalked" us. He kept following us around the whole H&M and i thought he was probably gay from the way he looked at Elvis. Finally he got a chance to speak to Elvis while i was at the cashier. I saw them and i was sure he was hitting onto Elvis!) Elvis tells me coz he's famous! Haha! Crap!

Sunday, we went to XuJiaHui and had lunch at a Japanese restaurant before Joel's session at MiKids. After that, we went to Highstreet Loft at TaiKang/JiaShan Road (http://www.highstreetloft.com) ...and Elvis decided to go cut his hair. So Joel & i went home first coz he was fussing a bit. After that, we had dinner at XuJiaHui's 食特美 Japanese BBQ restaurant again! It was sooo yummy! ;)




After dinner, we rushed home to watch the live telecast of the Wimbeldon finals between Roger Federer and Andy Roddick. The match lasted a long 4 hours - with Federer emerging as the winner. Roddick played extremely well that day. Along with this win, Federer also won a record 15th Grand Slam title. Once again, he made history. YEAH!
