It was a long weekend for us as both Iz and me were off/on leave on Friday. We like to do that as often as we can as it gives us couple time…time to enjoy each other’s company without having to fuss over the little one. I reckon that date days are not a luxury but a necessity. I think that the time spent together ‘renews’ us and allows us to put things back in focus again. Sometimes, we can get so caught up in the daily grind that we forget the little things and take things for granted.
This date day, after dropping the little fella off at school, we went for a nice leisurely walk in AMK hub and then at Raffles City. Raffles City because we were going to Inagiku for teppanyaki lunch.Inagiku is definitely one of our favourite Jap places and we try to go as often as we can without hurting our pockets. As usual, it was a nice relaxing lunch, both eating and watching the teppan chef at work. The chef, whom we got to ‘know’ cos we are so regular there is a great guy with superb PR skills. Though busy, he takes the time to socialise and all too. I love the food there and my all time favourite would be the yummy teppan prawns and its cream sauce. Yumms…
After that heavy lunch, we just had to walk it off..So off we went to Hann & Thann at Millenia Walk to restock on my lemongrass body wash. My all time favourite..think been using it for years already. Iz asked after my shopping if I was planning on buying the whole shop 
But oh well….must stock up enough so that I dun find myself suddenly running out of something. Oh..as a treat for my feet, I also bought a ginseng/herbal foot soak. Haven’t tried it yet though..first must go get basin to put my feet in 
We also went to the Heritage fair at Suntec…got all nostalgic seeing the things on display. Also a reminder of how old we are. Saw things like ‘Happy Family’. ‘Snap’ , ‘Old Maid’ and the pencil boxes that we(I) used to use. Remember those box-like things with the many secret comparments?With one press of a button, some compartment would slide out. I remember being really amused by those and would be so pleased whenever I had another one of these nifty devices.
The exhibition wasn’t a huge one but it was nice to see it all the same. Lots of exclamations of “i remember this..” when we were walking around the various panels. Well…if you are around the area, it is worth taking a look at the exhibition. After all the walking around and a quick trip to the supermarket, it was time to pick the little fella up.
In the evening, during our after dinner stroll with the little fella and ‘Mana’ ,we had the most unpleasant experience of all. It was the first time I ever lost my cool in a void deck and started talking in a louder than usual voice to this horrible lady. Think in the 3 years at our place, this is the nastiest neighbour I have met. This is what happened…I was sitting on the chair with M and playing with his bubble gun. And Iz was standing there,reading a pamphlet whilst holding on to J. Then this couple who were walking towards the lift suddenly started walking really closely to Iz and J. N0t sure if she stepped on J or not but one thing for sure, she was walking really close to J. And as a reflex action, he stood up and nipped her legs. Then she made this really exaggerated action of rubbing her legs and pulling up her pants to see if J had bitten her. So we just stood there watching what will happen next cos he certainly would not have reacted if he was not threatened. Then as she walked away, she said ( in Mandarin)…” Your dog bit me and you can just stand there and not do anything.” That really infuriated me cos I do reckon it was her fault and yet she had the cheek to tell us off. So from where I was I said that J would definitely not bite if he was not stepped on/or if she had not gotten so close to both Iz and J. And she retorted by saying that J is our dog, so definitely we will say he won’t bite. So I asked if she would like to go see the doctor, if she did, we could goafter making a police report. With that she just grumbled more and walked into the lift. I was really mad and was asking Iz if there was anything we could do. If only I could complain to someone about her….some higher up authorities. That really spoilt our Friday evening stroll!! If I ever see her again, I am definitely going to give her the evil stare! Bad neighbours….be gone!!!
