Not JetLag, It's Food and Shoplag
Except for a few yawns and nods the past few days, haven't been suffering from much of a jetlag...not yet maybe.
But...it has only been 3 days, 1 weekend, since I touched down and I have:
Swiped the card 4 times
Bought 9 tops
Wiped out the food counters of Crystal Jade, Bengawan Solo, Din Tai Fung, Lemongrass, Cedele, Ichiban Boshi and (embarrassingly) even Subway which were a dime a dozen in Europe.
And since the Great Singapore Sale is still on, the temptation of entering a MNG and Zara lingers irrestibly
In the food arena, the likes of Blu Jaz Cafe, Purvis Street Hock Lam Beef Noodle, Pete's Place, Toast, Prego, N.E.W.T, Chinatown are beckoning at me
After having to multiply prices by 2 or 3 times for the past month, after being blown away by the outrageous price of a diminutive looking samosa, after being denied shopping at Zara and El Corte because of a holiday, having witnessed a pandan cake that cost an outrageous 18 Sing Dollar... all have broken loose and everything here in Singapore feels cheap and good.
I gotta go on a diet tomorrow. I gotta live like a pauper! Pls frens, help by imposing the restraining order on me!
P.S: For those interested, some photos are up for viewing.
Most of the photos follow the formula, n=1 or n-1 persons, n being the number of pple on the trip. We were at all times cautious of pple snatching away the camera so 99% of our photos were take-it-ourselves photos.
Official camera: Canon Powershot 95A for its widely acknowledged superior photo taking quality unlike mine. Not to mention the greedy owner who borrowed one too many memory cards:P
Btw, I hereby declare official place for trip narration to be Blu Jaz Cafe. After a mth of lugging 20+ kg of stuff, the laptop is too heavy to be lugged ard for photo viewing except at abovementioned spot:)
