Why Labels are Important • 09.30.07
I went to pick up the free luggage that I was was entitled to since I booked the package at Safe2Travel. Since DD doesn’t have a luggage of a bigger size, I gave it to him. I have a larger one myself and will be using that as I tend to pack more than what is needed. The “kiasu” syndrome at work again. It’s always better to over-pack, ok?
It was lunch time when I got to DD’s place. We watched 1408 while having lunch. A waste because I shouldn’t have bought any lunch. I couldn’t finish it when watching any scary movies! Note to self: Never watch any scary movies during mealtimes. The movie was both exciting and interesting to watch. I should latch myself to DD’s arms whenever the scary parts come in.
We had to attend a wedding in Bishan Park II in the evening. The toughest part was getting a taxi to the place. No taxis were available at 4.30pm because the double charge starts at 5pm. I thought the LTA had a ruling? The second part was walking from one end of the park to the other end. The taxi driver dropped us off at the wrong part of the park!
The problem was that both parks stated “BISHAN PARK”. They didn’t differentiate the park! NParks ought to do something about that. The wedding was held at Aramsa Spa. We walked for 20 minutes and my makeup melted. Curses!
When we finally reached the place, the solemnisation was just about to end. There were some jumps in the speech as the groom was very nervous. The bride was more calm though. She was more coherent. When the formalities of the solemnisation ended, the dinner reception started. The cheesecakes were nice but I ate DD’s blueberry flavours. Oops
After the reception, we congratulated the bride and groom. I was rather surprised to know that 2 of my ex-colleagues were there and one of them knew him. It’s a small world alright. I have gained weight again
They, on the other hand, seemed to have maintained theirs from the last time I saw them.
We left at around 7.30pm to explore what the spa had to offer. It looked good because since it is in the park, they have outdoor water therapy. Just pray that Google Earth doesn’t capture it. I liked the place. I like to have my ROM in such a soothing place
The wedding shall have to be some place cooler.
The taxis love to hide 30 – 45 minutes just before the double charge starts. I thought there was a claim that we have more than enough taxis to go around for 24 x 7?


When it was around 6pm, a grandmother arrived and they placed a chair right in front of DD. His spot was a great spot for watching to movie, so they let her sit there in the chair. Thankfully, they didn’t stay for the movie. They left when the movie was in for 15 minutes. Basically, I was thinking that the people were there for the lucky draw and not for the movie. At around 8.45pm, some drops of rain fell upon us. Everyone started packing except for a handful who simply opened their umbrellas and continued watching. Our main concern was the lightning.
